____________________________ Location: Starbase one Scene: Daisy's quarters Stardate: 2.70312.0753 ___________________________ Kate sat quietly next to Peter, holding a medical instrument over his fractured wrist. She smiled patiently and asked, "Tell me again how this happened?" Standing across the room, the very pregnant woman teased. "I sneezed." Embarrassed, Peter glared at Daisy. Standing next to her, Matthew turned away so his husband wouldn't see the grin on his face. "I sneezed..." Daisy repeated. "And the idiot jumped..." "You make this funny sound when you sneeze..." Peter interrupted, whining. "I thought you were in pain..." "It was a sneeze, Peter!" Daisy scoffed, laughing. Then, she held up her hands in a pleading gesture and looked at Kate. "Please tell him there is no reason to believe I'm going to go into labor today....so he'll stop hovering over me?!" Peter sighed. "Daisy - you are three days away from your due date and you are already two centimeters dialated." Looking almost painfully adorable in denim "bib" overalls, her long blonde hair braided on either side of her face, Daisy sulked. "My last Braxton Hicks contractions were more than 48 hours ago and, frankly...you're suffocating me, Peter. If I so much as sneeze - literally - you come running so frantically you fall over you feet and hurt yourself." Kate looked at Peter and gave him this sweet little "Gosh - you are so cute" grin and he hung his head, embarrassed. "I'm sorry." "I don't need you to be sorry, honey." she smiled. "I just need you to give me a little room to breathe." Peter sighed, "What is it you are wanting to do?" "I want to go down to Starfleet Medical. I want to arrange some post partum reconstructive surgery for after the twins are born." Matthew's face darkened. "You'll need reconstructive surgery?" Daisy grimaced awkwardly, then she gave him a little smile. "Yes. Just days after I have these babies, I'll be expected back in uniform and giving a deposition. I'm not going to do that with a sagging, post-partum belly." Peter chuckled. "So, you're going to get - what do they call it? A Tummy tuck?" "Damn straight." Daisy laughed. "Everything your children stretched out, I'm having repaired and tightened as soon as possible." The color fell from Peter's face and, holding his newly repair wrist, he replied, "You're disgusting." Daisy blinked for a second, confused. Then, she laughed and blushed. "Perv" Kate glanced back and forth between then, amused by their conversation. Then, she asked. "I could go with her, Peter - if that would make you feel better." "No, you can't." Daisy quickly chided her. "I heard Admiral Ranta gave you some orders that you are long overdue carrying out...." Kate sighed and nodded. "Yes...that's true. It's just been difficult finding the right time to take care of it ...." Peter glanced back and forth between the two women and complained. "I don't understand." Daisy just gave him a sly grin and replied. "You aren't supposed to." Rolling his eyes, he scoffed. "You're rude." "I'll take care of it, Daisy..." Kate promised with a smile. _____________________________________________________ Time Index: Way later Location: EARTH ( Paris , France ) Scene: Starfleet Medical, Corridor outside Private Ward Room _____________________________________________________ Some of the medical work Kyle needed on his legs was both awkward and exhausting. Daniel thought it was best to let the young man get a nap for atleast an hour or two before going home. He stayed close by - but his own legs grew restless. Finally, the marine needed a bit of stretching. He stepped out into the corridor. A woman with blonde hair stepped out of the turbo lift a few yards away. She was dressed in civilian clothes and massively pregnant. The amusing look of her denim maternity overalls over a white T-shirt made him smile. From a distance, he was reminded of his wife and mused that maybe someday - he'd see Catherine in that condition. Then, he remembered the one time they were around a woman enduring childbirth and how the prospect terrified Catherine. As she put it, she'd rather be decapitated than endure what they'd witnessed Dr. Byrne go through on that one terrible away mission. He and Catherine had both been there in that tiny cave, after that terrible shuttlecrash, to deliver Daisy's son, Jason. As the pregnant woman got closer, she almost didn't notice him. Once he got a better look at her face, though - he recognized her immediately. The coincidence that, here she was pregnant again, three years later - amused him greatly. Almost laughing outloud, the young marine spoke softly to get her attention. "Dr. Byrne?" She turned, surprised. Then, she recognised him and smiled. "Daniel! Hello!" As they shook hands, she gently corrected him. "It's Davidson now." His face lit up. "You got married? That's so great! Congradulations!" With a dry grin, Daisy replied, "I'm divorced - but I...ahem...I kept the name." Daniel froze awkwardly. Then, he replied with a sheepish grin. "Right. Sorry." Daisy waved him off and asked, "Is the DISCOVERY here?" He shook his head. "No, Catherine and I are on the PATRIOT now....we just docked a little while ago..." Daisy seemed somewhat distant, but polite as she smiled. "Oh, ok...." She saw his eyes go to her stomach and she quickly explained. "These aren't mine....I'm just doing a favor for a friend...." "These?" Daniel blinked. "Twins." Daisy nodded. "Boys. A friend of mine and his husband - they needed a surrogate." "That's very generous of you...." Daniel smiled, impressed. "After the experience you had with Jason...I know that was rough...." Daisy inhaled and looked away. Then, she sighed and changed the subject and Daniel studied her face. Something about her reaction to his mentioning Jason seemed "Off" . "Listen, it was very nice seeing you again...but I'm late for an appointment..." she stammered slightly. "Of course....nice to see you, too." he shook her hand once more. Then, he watched her walk away. _____________________________________________________ NRPG: For you, Rahul .....just so you know I don't have to make every post ten thousand words long. :P:P:P:P Taylor, Daniel will tell Mav he saw Daisy.
