Gami blocked the incoming strike, grasping the other woman's arm, twisting and spinning on her heel, slamming her friend hard onto the rubber mat.

"Ah! Damn!" Naxea cursed , arching her back to response to hitting the mat.

"You ok?" Gami asked, kneeling down next to Naxea.

"Yeah," Naxea grumbled as she took as she looked at the ceiling of the building, ignoring the coldness of the rubber floor as the pain slowly subsided in her back. She was sparring with Gami to help get back in shape after five months of being pregnant. 'I'm getting too old for this.' she thought and suddenly regretted thinking it as she saw the amused look on Gami's face.

"Need me to grab your walker, old woman?" Gami teased, chuckling.

"Shut up," Naxea replied as she pushed herself up, supported on her elbows.

Gami stood and offered a hand to Naxea who took it and pulled her to her feet.

"Too bad we're stuck on an ice planet. What I wouldn't give to go for a swim or run," Naxea stated, placing her hands on her hips.

"I know what you mean.," she said, tossing Naxea a water pack.

Naxea gratefully caught the water pack and opened it, downing some of the refreshing water.

A cry of pain came across the tent as Man'darr slammed Jenkins to the mat hard.

"Hey Chief! Try not to kill Jenkins!" Naxea shouted with a grin.

"But he bet the others that he could take me," Man'darr replied with a shrug as Jenkins groaned on the rubber mat.

"Jenkins, you got the brains of a tribble!" Gami shouted.

"Hell, Tribbles are geniuses compared to Jenkins," Naxea commented, causing Gami to snort.

"He's a good Marine but how he hasn't gotten kicked out yet is beyond me," Gami stated, turning back to Naxea.

"His enlistment is almost over and he's only a PFC...and I thought you were bad," Naxea teased. "You should be a Sergeant Major by now."

"Not my fault I keep running into stupid officers, present company excluded of course," she grinned at Naxea.

"Of course," Naxea returned the grin as she set the water pack down. "Round two?"

"You're a glutton for punishment," Gami commented as she squared up against Naxea and got into her fighting stance. The two women sparred for several minutes before Naxea was once again unceremoniously slammed into the mat again. "Not bad," Gami said between deep breaths. "You'll be back to your old self in no time."

"I hope so," Naxea said as she got back to her feet. She was certainly going to be sore tomorrow.

"So how's the baby doing?" Gami asked before taking a drink from her water pack.

"Sle'anna's doing good. Thankfully she sleeps alot. You know, motherhood would probably do you some good."

Gami burst out laughing. "Me? A mother? Hell, I'm not even married, or dating.

"Then consider my next mission is to find you someone," Naxea smiled, crossing her arms.

"No, no, and um, no," Gami replied, waving a finger at Naxea. "I don't do setups or blind dates. I prefer to just fuck and cause chaos."

Now it was Naxea's turn to laugh. "And you do both well."

"Thank you," Gami replied with a slight bow, smiling. "Now, let's get back at it." Gami got on the floor in a push up position as Naxea joined her.
