“A belated Christmas” (Cont’d from “think of me…”) Location: GS-2 Scene: Kat’s quarters TI: After Steve’s post "But it’s not standard, especially in these circumstances, got it." Kat thought for a moment, still groggy and annoyed that this was what was taking up her time. "Why are you bringing this to me right now?" The hybrid turned a slight shade of red, "he keeps calling, and I ran out of things to tell him." "Of course, keep him busy while I get dressed" The man who’d been thrust into the operations department pretty much whether he liked it or not gave her a small smile and headed from the room as Kat disappeared into her bedroom and got dressed. “Are you going back to work mummy?” She glanced down at her daughter who had appeared from her bedroom after Nick had left. The small half Klingon was staring up at her with big brown eyes, “Not for long honey, I’ve just got to go sort one or two things out.” She leaned down and kissed her daughter “I’ll be back before you get up in the morning.” El’hron glared at her but then sighed and nodded. “OK mummy.” =[/\]= Scene: Ops Kat stepped from the turbolift followed by Harper Ranta, the small commander was not privy to the reports from the PROPHECY but she was still in touch with Mad’hron when times allowed. Harper took up a position out of sight of the view screen while Kat leaned against her console. “On screen.” She ordered softly The man on Ops pressed a button a Bolian appeared Kat blinked glanced at Harper who raised an eyebrow. [[Finally a commander.]] The Bolian uttered I demand to be allowed to dock. “Well you have Rixx’s pompousness I’ll give you that.” Kat offered, “but I’ve met him, plus he’s on the run from Starfleet at the moment, I believe he managed to kidnap a Starfleet captain, and there’s also a few other charges to be leveled, so are you going to drop the pretence and allow us to search your vessel or do I get to make Hannibal’s Christmas and arrest you?” =[/\]= Scene: CO’s ready room TI: Christmas Eve Gene was on operations duty he was considering what his wife had said about his CO, he was almost certain she was right, she was about most things, so when he spotted Kat heading into her ready room he followed. She turned and leaned on her desk expecting something about the food fight and instead got, “are you pregnant?” Kat blinked kind of owlishly at her XO, “hi Gene, good to see you, how are you? Yeah I’m fine too, would you like a drink?” Gene paused words half way out of his mouth and then shook his head, “sorry, how are you?” Kat laughed and shook her head pointing to the comfortable seats in her ready room; they went up the two steps and sat down. “I haven’t even told Jeff yet.” She told him quietly pulling her knees up on the chair she wrapped her arms around them. “But Xana’s right.” Gene opened and shut his mouth and then shrugged, “congratulations?” Kat burst out laughing stopping a couple of minutes later for breath, “gene, my first pregnancy was with a half Klingon that nearly killed me, my second pregnancy my husband ran off and I gave birth to twins in a prison. Half of me is wondering if this is my chance to get it right, finally, mostly I’m just scared Jeff is going to run off again.” Gene shook his head, “Is that why you’re here, instead of home telling Jeff?” Kat nodded, “I’m petrified Gene, I can’t lost him again.” “I doubt you will, but how are you going to cope with four?” Kat smiled and shrugged, “the same as we cope with three, I always wanted a large family, I spent long enough with no firm family that I have every intention of retiring to a cabin in a forest and my hundreds of grandchildren coming around and entertaining me every Christmas.” “Well you’re well on your way to that.” He half teased. “Now,” he stood up and pulled Kat with him, “go home, tell Jeff and don’t come back until you do.” Kat scowled slightly but then sighed and nodded. “You think he’ll stay this time?” Gene looked down, amazed at how vulnerable the small woman in front of him looked. “If he doesn’t I’ll set Hannibal onto him.” He promised. =[/\]= Scene: Kat’s quarters TI: Christmas morning Kat lay awake one eye fixed to the chronometer on the wall counting its way up to 5am, Jeff was lying next to her his breathing the slow, steady, deep breathing of someone deep in sleep. She shifted in the bed and felt him start to stare, rolling over she placed her hand gently on his stomach, “Jeff?” He muttered something and then opened one eye. “What time is it?” “Early,” Kat answered, “I need to tell you something...” She was interrupted by the doors opening and Ely jumping on the bed yelling about Father Christmas. Jeff caught their daughter and raised an eyebrow at his wife. **What is it.** **It’ll wait she answered.** She grinned at Ely, “Come on then let’s go and unwrap some pressies.” the little girl disappeared excitedly out of the room while Kat and Jeff got dressed they brought the twins into the living room and the five of them started unwrapping presents together. =[/\]= TI: after Christmas lunch Kat was in the kitchen washing the Christmas dishes her foster father stood next to her drying them and putting them into cupboards. “I suppose its one thing about being on a station.” Geoff mused, “No sudden turns and plates smashing.” Kat rolled her eyes, “yes, that is the only advantage.” She said sarcastically. “Any signs of a job yet?” she asked changing the subject, Geoff grinned, “Nope, I’m enjoying not having any responsibilities, means I can baby-sit my grandkids every time you need me to.” Kat smiled back at him, “fine but don’t expect me to pay your bills.” Her dad pulled tongues at her and then glanced up when Jeff entered, “I’ll leave you two crazy kids to it.” He decided and threw the dish cloth at his son in law. Kat smiled and leaned against the sink watching Jeff as he picked up a bowl. “Is it just me or is this year crazier than last?” Kat nodded, “the twins are old enough to be exited and who can blame our parents for spoiling them,” Jeff shrugged, “so what where you going to tell me?” he asked after a moment. Kat took a deep breath and sighed, “I’m pregnant.” ** NRPG: Sorry about the delay in this and the character centeredness, it’s kind of been very hectic over here but hopefully we will pick up  Joy Phillips The madness behind Commander Katlina Gorman CO GS-2 And Ensign J’kaor aCEO GS-2 Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com From HyperNews_at_youth.net
