He looks adorably pleased to have caused giggling!

Words words words it's night and he eventually gets tired.

"I will sleep now," he says.  "You stay in your room."  He takes her by the hand and leads her to her room.

She giggles again when he takes her hand and grabs some formula on the way out, presumably in case of nighttime baby wakeups. She goes to her room.

He follows her in.

And pushes her against the wall and kisses her.

...okay that's apparently happening now.

He steps back and smiles hopefully, trying to evaluate her reaction.

...smile? Smile.

Smile!

He kisses her again.  And there is also some hair-pulling.

Not her kink, but, uh, okay.

...you know, on the one hand he was planning to finesse this particular seduction a little more, but on the other hand, he really wants to fuck his new alien.

He leads her to the bed.

"Sit," he says, pointing at the bed.

She sits.

"Wait for me," he says, and he goes back to his room to get his gear.

Mary's there.  She watches him go to the closet and get his things.

"John," she says.  "We're going to call Pastor Dan in the morning, right?"

               "No," says John.  He walks past the bed and towards the door.

"Where are you going with that?"

               "Not your concern."

Mary grabs him by the wrist.  "You," she says, her voice shaking, "are not going to...to sleep with her."

               He jerks his hand away.  "You don't give orders," he says, softly.  (He expects her to flinch.  She doesn't.)

"We're married," she says.  "You...you stood up in church in front of God and everybody and you promised you'd love me and only me forever, that's not... you can't just decide to break the sixth commandment like it's nothing."

               He slaps her.  She staggers back.  He turns, expecting that to be the end of it.  So when Mary picks up a lamp and swings it as hard as she can into the back of his head, it takes him completely by surprise.

She walks to Peka's room and opens the door.

...Peka waves.

Mary does sort of an awkward half-wave and then a "come here" gesture.

Peka goes there.

And Mary finds John's car keys (it takes her a couple tries to grab them, her fine motor skills currently seem to be...not) and then shepherds Peka to the car and indicates that she should sit in the front passenger seat.

"No! No -" She does not be shepherded past the door. She goes back for Katin.

"What?  Don't--" Mary says, then remembers that, right, there was a baby.

(She feels like such an idiot she can't do anything on her own--)

"Sorry," she says to Peka when Peka gets back.  She's tearing up a bit.  She's not even sure if Peka will understand the sentiment, but she doesn't really know what else to do.

She shepherds them car-wards again, a bit more shakily this time.

Peka sits where she is told once she has her sleeping baby.

Mary drives.  She's very focused on the road and doesn't seem to be paying attention to Peka or Katin.

She stops at a gas station and makes a phone call.  Then she returns to the car.

"Um," she says.  What the hell did John even teach Peka.  "There are...people who can talk to you.  In your words.  Coming to find us."

Apparently he didn't teach her enough words to let her do more than blink at that.

Mary doesn't have enough energy to try again.  Shouldn't be long before magic translation gets here anyway.

In fact it is only a few minutes, because the recipient of the phone call also employs a teleporter.

The polyglot knocks on the window, then, when Mary rolls it down, says, "Hello!  I'm Jen, it's nice to meet you, what's your name?" in perfect Tapap, though without the accent.

The first word of Tapap gets her flinching and looking away and clutching her baby but she murmurs "Peka, ma'am."

"Um," says Jen.  "I'm sure this has been a difficult and traumatic experience for you, and I'm happy to answer any questions you have.  Casey here is going to teleport you to somewhere safer as soon as you're comfortable with that.  Is there anything urgent you need to communicate?"

"No ma'am."
