“four years ago”
(Cont’d from “pre-party ”)
Location: GS-2
Scene: the gingerbread house
Stardate: 2.70425.1056
Katlina Gorman was out of uniform, it was a relief for
the pregnant woman her uniform was starting to get a
little tight around the edges. She stood in the centre
of a group of three and four year old children her
eyes closed while the music played, someone stopped
the music and her eyes flashed open taking in the
group of ten children who where all stood as still as
possible staring up at her.
Figuring it was probably mean to tickle one to make
them laugh she shrugged her shoulders, “they’re all
too good.” She declared with an exaggerated sigh,
guessing it was going to go on all day one of the
women who worked in the children’s play area took
over.
Kat sighed and moved away from the group and away from
the parents. She sat at a small table her hand rested
on a PADD she had been given just before coming here
from Admiral Ranta.
“What’s eating you?” she glanced up at her husband and
managed a smile,
“eating me?”
“What’s bothering you?” he reworded the question with
a slight smile, “out little girl is four, and you look
miles away.”
Kat scowled slightly then sighed. “you don’t tell
anyone till I have chance to call a meeting.”
Jeff shot his wife an annoyed look, “anything you say
off duty stays between us, you know that.”
She nodded and fidgeted, “I’m being demoted.” She
answered after a moment, “Starfleet are bringing in a
new CO,” she held her hand up before Jeff could
interrupt, “apparently they want the station ran by
someone with a firmer hand, someone who can take a
firmer stand against the terrorism and assassination
attempts that have been taking place on here the last
year.”
“What happens to you?” the CMO asked as visions of
their family being separated again passed across his
face.
“I’m being made XO, at least until the new CO is
settled in, we’re going to get a revamp of the
stations senior staff, but I don’t want to say
anything until I know what happens to Gene, my gut
tells me he’ll be moved to the counselling department
but I’m not sure in what capacity.”
“I just wish I knew more, I need to tell everyone
before the new guy gets here but I’m just going to end
up fielding questions.”
“when’s the new CO arriving?”
“the next couple of days.” Kat answered with a sigh,
she was interrupted from worrying when their little
half klingon girl jumped in front of them,
“I won.” She declared happily and showed them the
necklace made of candy that she’d been given as a
prize.
Kat grinned, “best statue ever.” She declared slightly
over enthusiastically gaining a glare from her
daughter.
“I’m not really a statue mum.” El’hron said calmly.
“Aren’t you?” Kat raised an eyebrow and glanced over
the table at her husband, “did you know that?”
Jeff laughed, “stop teasing her.” He glanced up and
noticed some of the parents leaving and looked at the
time, “so party over huh?”
El’hron nodded and glanced at the table of presents
that she’d received, “how are we going to get them
home?” she could barely hide the excitement from her
voice at wanting to go home and play with all her new
toys.
“Well…” Kat said thoughtfully, “maybe I can manage
that while we go and get some tea?”
“will it take long?” Ely asked
Kat shrugged, “long enough for us to get something to
eat.”
The little girl seemed to consider this and then
nodded, “OK then,” she brightened up a little. “let’s
go and eat.”
Jeff grinned and caught his little girls hand, “let’s
go then.” He offered and ushered her out of the
children’s play area grabbing their parents and
children on the way out while Kat ordered a sight to
sight transfer for the large pile of presents.
She followed them a little behind her mind still on
worrying about the appointment of a new CO, she forced
those concerns to the back of her mind and watched as
Jeff chatted animatedly with his adopted daughter.
Four years ago when that little girl had been born on
the USS PROPHECY in an alternate dimension, neither of
them had been there, Mad’hron had given birth in the
CO’s ready room while they had been held prisoner and
had an implanted man made device forced upon them, she
shivered at the memory, placing a hand on her
expanding belly and then caught up with her family.
She caught the little girls hand and swung her into
the air while El’hron giggled and Jeff grumbled
something about her not doing that in her condition.
She pulled tongues at him and then leaned down to her
daughter and challenged her to a race to the
restaurant.
