Leona Lewis - "Better in time"
___________________________
Shortly after LJ arrived - Wangel Erek took his daughter and left to go secure quarters
for himself and Erika. He was content that Daisy was in more than good hands with
Cade, Drake and Dr. McKennitt. The Bajoran school teacher politely informed LJ that
he would return for his things and left.
Well, Drake and the doctor trusted the pair of teenage boys to take care of themselves
and also left. Cade stayed in Daisy's room and neither of them noticed when LJ
immediately went about reclaiming his 'territory'.
Gavi just watched, shaking his head, as LJ immediately took the few outfits Erek had
neatly hung in the closet and the few personal items that had been sitting on the
bedside table and tossed them out in the corridor.
"He's not a bad guy, you know." Gavi finally offered, almost sounding like he was
defending Wangel Erek's intrusion into LJ's room.
The older boy shot Gavi a dirty look and Gavi immediately stepped back, putting his
hands up in a gesture of surrender. "Ok, sorry."
Sitting up on Daisy's bed, Foster watched her drift off to sleep with her head resting
against his chest. The warmth of her against him flooded his thoughts with memories
of their past relationship. He smelled her hair and felt her steady breathing and just
sat there, more content than he'd been in the longest time. No more arguments - just
the quiet comfort of being snuggled together in bed.
Then, something distracted him from enjoying the moment. Instead of smelling
Daisy's hair or her perfume - he smelled smoke.
** What are those boys doing? **
With a groan, he gently pulled away from Daisy and lowered her head gently to
a pillow. Then, he kissed her forehead before going to check on the boys.
The first thing he saw when he stepped into the livingroom was Gavi shuffling his
feet nervously.
"I tried to stop him."
The smoke was coming from the bathroom the children shared. Foster sprinted
across and burst in. LJ was burning the sheets that Wangel Erek had slept on in the
tub.
Foster blinked for a second, confused. Then, he just activated the water setting
on the shower head. It put out the fire and splashed LJ with water in the process.
The teenager stomped his feet and glared at him.
Foster shrugged, stomped his feet and glared right back. Then, he stepped
closer and scolded the boy.
"You're an idiot."
LJ defiantly waved his middle finger at the older man and Gavi stood in
the doorway and tried to warn Cade, "It's not a good idea to make
LJ mad."
Cade stared down LJ and said in a stern voice to Gavi. "Go to your room."
Gavi gulped. "Yeah, sure - no problem." Then, he ran to his room.
Foster stared at LJ, thoughtfully, "What is this? You're mad the guy slept
in your bed? "
LJ nodded.
"So you're burning the sheets?"
LJ nodded, smirking.
"You're an idiot."
Again, LJ flipped him off.
Foster rolled his eyes and laughed. "What? You think giving me the finger
is going to make me cry? Come on! You want to annoy the Bajoran school
teacher? I don't give a rats' ass. He's a pompous twit. Just don't do it by
setting fires and doing things that will upset your mother by getting you
into trouble."
LJ blinked, surprised. Then, he busted out laughing and did something
Foster didn't expect. LJ stepped up and scooped the older man into a
power hug.
Daisy woke up a few hours later. By then Cade was back in bed with her
as if nothing had happened. She smiled at him and he didn't say a word
about his little moment with LJ. He simple tried to make her laugh by
pretending to be horrified by her 'morning breath'. He groaned loudly and
pleaded in a raspy, strained voice, "My god, woman - when was the
last time you used mouthwash?"
She laughed and lightly smacked him, "You're such a pig."
He just smirked, "Yeah - but you love me."
She rolled her eyes and sat up. "You wish."
Foster sniggered and leaned in real close before whispering, "They thought
you were dead.."
She frowned, confused. "I was dead. Then, Borg Nanites, remember"
Cade smirked again, most obnoxiously. "I got your message. The one you
left incase you didn't make it back."
Daisy's face squished up awkwardly. Then, she groaned. "OH. Dammit!"
Looking rumpled and disheveled, Foster continued gloating. "You love me.
You L-o-v-e me...you love me."
Turning a bright shade of red and laughing, Daisy rolled her eyes.
"You're an ass."
He laughed. "That's probably what you love most about me, though."
Finally she scolded him, "Just shaddup."
Daisy snuggled back up against him and sighed. His arm wrapped around
her, he admitted, "You know, I might kinda just...you know, a little..."
"Can we talk about something else?" Daisy laughed, blushing.
"Oh, yes." Cade was relieved. Then, he sniggered. "How about my latest
scheme to annoy the blue Klingon back on the henge?"
"Aerdan Jos is Andorian - why you keep calling him a blue Klingon...."
Daisy laughed.
"What he IS is pathetic..." Cade laughed. "The idiot is back there
pining away for the cheerleader, making the noble sacrifice for honor
and duty...."
"When he should be doing what?" Daisy challenged, laughing "Scratching
whatever itches the way you do?"
Foster smirked. "Well, I'm just saying the cheerleader does manage
to be somewhat moderately attractive on a good day and she obviously
worshipped the ground he walked on...and does he 'man up' and
try to 'tap that"? No......he lets her leave and sits there still pining
for her - it's pathetic"
Daisy grimaced over Cade's vulgar language and teased,
"Awww - you're such a romantic..."
"HA!" Cade scoffed. "I'm just bored with their crap is more like it.
There comes a time when you either need to do your business or
get off the pot and, for them, it's long past. And, I know MacNeil's
weakness - I mean, everyone does."
Daisy frowned. "What did you do? What are you talking about?"
"Come on." Cade laughed. "It's her drug of choice, taking in
every stray animal or every wounded soul she finds....and I've
studied her DNA - her orientation markers lack solidity so when I
spotted your Orion in sickbay..."
Daisy poked him, "I ask again, what did you do?"
Neither of them realized LJ was listening from the doorway as
Cade bragged about knowing exactly how to manipulate Kate
so she'd be all psyched to go 'save' Dr. Grace Poe from her
lonely, solitary life and how he expects they'll fall madly in love
and live happily ever after.
Daisy laughed and told him he was horrible and Cade scoffed
that it was just too easy and he couldn't help himself. Then, he
asked if Daisy could get him some surveilance equipment
because if anything would be better than pissing off Aerdan by
hooking up Kate and Grace - it would be getting some lesbian
porn footage of the two of them together.
LJ was covering his mouth with his hand to keep from laughing
outloud as Daisy scoffed that, no, she would not help him
get intimate footage of Kate and Grace. He went on to openly
ask how Daisy might feel about a Ménage à Troi and LJ had to
scramble to hide behind a couch so Foster wouldn't see him
as Daisy tossed a pillow and demanded that Cade go find himself
his own quarters. It worried LJ for a second that maybe Daisy
was angry - but then he heard her laughing and realized this was
their strange way of joking around.
He shook his head and just thought to himself that grown-ups
were wiered before finally going to bed.

____________________________________________________
To avoid the media, Daisy materialized in the ready room.
Though she still tired easily, she was able to walk short distances.
Ana looked up from her desk, mildly startled.
"oh, hi..."
"You asked to see me this morning?" Daisy offered.
"You're looking better." Ana smiled.
"Gradually getting there." Daisy nodded. "Thanks."
"We should have a general updating to help you prepare for
returning to duty." Ana offered.
Daisy sighed. Part of her was, frankly, considering retiring. But, she
smiled weakly, "Ok."
"And, I wanted to talk to you about the media." Ana added,
noticing some hesitation on Daisy's part. Finally, she asked, "You
were planning on returning to duty, right? I guess no one would
blame you if you were thinking of retiring..."
Daisy waved her hand, and took a seat. "I don't know yet. How
about if we start with a briefing about the station..."
The first report Anaqueen showed her had to do with the
USS CHANTICO, actually - though the ship was part of the station's
support system.
After quickly skimming through it, Daisy noticed their request
for a new Commanding officer.
"You should hand this job to MacNeil." Daisy blurted out.
"Isn't she already doing Station ops?"
Daisy nodded. "She can do both. We only use the ship part time."
"Her medical suspension will be up soon." Ana reminded Daisy,
looking confused.
Daisy smiled cryptically - trusting Cade's instincts. "I think Kate
would love the command experience and more work outside of
sickbay has really helped get her more bonded with the crew."
"Will do, then. " Ana nodded. "I will notify her later today that,
when she's not busy working in Operations - she is to take charge
of the USS CHANTICO."
Daisy grinned. "Good. Now, what are we going to do about the press?"
Anaqueen waggled her eyebrows and smirked. Daisy laughed and
quickly replied, "No, you can't shoot them"

NRPG:
Jamie - I haven't forgotten Zel. When you're done getting settled into your new apartment and able to write - lemme know. Taylor said LJ will be unhappy his favorite shopkeeper suffered while LJ was away, too.
Taylor - thanks for taking the time to review my scene with LJ. :)
Tag - anyone! Anyone want to talk to Anaqueen AND Daisy in the ready room?
Katrina - worried about you - give me a holler and let me know you're ok!
Ana will be staying for approximately two more weeks and then she will visit from time to time whenever I need help - so that between me, Katrina and Ran - you guys will always have someone here to help you and you will never feel like you've been left alone. :) One of us will always be here to have your back in this game. :)
Then, I was thinking we'd start a mission approximately the second or third week of May.
Anyone have any ideas? Let me know.
Kim Toussaint AKA Commander Daisy Byrne Davidson, M.D.
