The month passes with Amoura getting the base back into order before the troops from Florence return. Amoura was in the tent Command Center directing the plans for the rebuild of the Command Center. "Commander your unit has arrived on base." Amy walks up to the contractors' tent, where Amoura was. "Oh good, tell them to settle in. Their barracks are intact." Amy nods and rushes off as Amoura sits down.

"Commander, the contractor of medical wing says the medical wing should be done today, and the contractor of the training center has finished. The cafeteria is done as well" S.L. Herman says as he walks in, "good help them pack up all their things."

It was late that night when Amoura makes her way home, the lights were on so she rushed inside. "Clive?" He walks out the study and Amoura breaks into a smile, "man I've missed you," Amoura quickly wraps her arms around him, "me too, Clive." They quickly take off their clothes just to feel closer together.

Amoura and Clive lay on the floor between the living and dining hall. "So everyone is talking about the Commander who took back a whole base with five units and four Commanders." Clive looks to Amoura as he plays with her hair, she smiles, "oh really? What else are they saying?" Amoura runs her fingers across his chest, "they say you're a total bad ass." Amoura laughs as she moves her ear to his chest to listen to his heartbeat. Amoura falls asleep listening to his breathing and heartbeat. After covering Amoura with his shirt Clive takes her upstairs.

Amoura wakes up to the scent of food and she smiles, "thanks for reminding me I can't cook," He looks over to her amused, "did you kill anyone while I was gone?" She sighs, "I did," the front door opens then, "you give them your food?" Clive asks as May sits down for breakfast. "Haha, I did not," She gives him a look as she sits on the island stool.

"Would have saved yourself so much time if you had." "I would not, the worse I could have done is give them food poisoning. How am I not getting it!" Amoura slouches onto her arms, he calls her over and shows her how to make tomato soup. "Maybe one-day Amoura." Amoura looks at her baby sister, "says the one who can cook." Amoura keeps making the tomato sauce.

"Alright try this." Clive coughs from the taste. "Sometimes I think you're trying to kill me." Amoura slaps his arm. "I am not, I'm just trying new things." Amoura says as she puts the spoon down, "like killing your husband?" May cuts in and Clive chuckles, "Ha." she glares at them. "Don't worry Amoura you can leave the cooking to me." He kisses her cheek.

"No I want to learn," "then please use someone else as your genuine pig. I think both May and I value or lives." Amoura smiles, "Nope, 'to have and to hold' remember." "Those are not the vows I agree too," He says with a smile, "you're right you said I'm the only risk you'd take, my cooking come included with me." "Just remember, I have no life insurance," "that's what you think," Amoura yells at him as he makes his way to the door. May sits there watching her sister and brother in law and laughs.

He walks back in, "Amoura, love just buy a recipe book," "no!" Clive smiles at her from the door, Amoura stops making a face when she realizes she has a recipe book. She goes into the study and looks for it.

The weekends with Clive and May both trying to teach Amoura how to cook recipes from the book Luna made her and with recipes May finds online, with hardly any improvement, he rests his chin on her shoulder as he helps her stir.

"Alright Amoura, Clive, see you guys Monday after school." They nod "tell Maddie's mom we said hi and tell Maddie we said Happy birthday." May nods before rushing out.

"Hey, Amoura?" Clive asks as he tights his grip around Amoura's waist, "yeah?" She looks at him, "why do you smell differently?" She puts her arm to her nose, "oh I'm going into heat." Clive gives her a look, "you not going to hide in a room for three days?" Amoura replies quickly, "I don't have to, I'm married to you, I can have as much sex as I want with you." Clive looks at her, "is that so?" Clive turns her around and cups her face, "that's so. When we got married I decided not to renew the implant instead I got it removed, it's only been a few months," He reaches behind her and turns off the stove, as he looks at her, "really?" Amoura nods, "I know, it feels longer." Clive captures her lips.
