A cluster of ships burst through the green
blaze of light that showed the ends of the
transwarp conduit. Both large and small the
vessels quickly headed for the very heart of
the Federation, a world close to the hearts
of a large number of the people in the
impromptu fleet, and close physically too.
Meer hours after their emergence, the small
vessels slid in to hanger bays studding the
immense Starbase One, as the larger vessels
made for their own, rather larger, docks.
Inside a large part of the PROPHECY crew
who had been present on ANDALUSIA assembled
for a quick word from their acting ExO.
“Command is going to be taking dispositions
from all of us, as such they have arranged
for quarters for everyone here on Starbase
One. You are free to leave and stay surface
side should you wish but make no long term
plans, we have a few days then the dispositions
will start, so make sure you’re available and
easy to reach. Don’t forget people these
people who will be interviewing you, know
nothing about our vessel. You are free to
answer questions about ANDALUSIA, but anything
concerning why Ronnie came to our dimension
or how are to be thoroughly avoided.
Drake, leant nonchalantly against a bulkhead
spoke up. “So you’re giving us permission
to refuse to answer some questions then?
Rather naughty of you isn’t it?”
“Hey, no flirting, or I tell Lara when
we head over to speak to those the AVISFORD
brought home.” Laughed Matthew.
“Awww, well ok then.” Pouted Drake for a
moment before laughing.
Shaking his head at the humour Peter
finished. “Other than that lets hope we
can all enjoy some shore leave this time,
so no getting stuck in holodecks, and no
rogue Borg nanites, ok?” Peter grinned. A
few of the crew smiled politely but
generally his little attempt at joviality
appeared to have failed.
As they dispersed Matthew joined him and
just grinned.
“Oh shut up.” Said Peter.
“I never said a word” Smiled Matthew.
“No but you thought them !”
Matthew burst out laughing and dashed off
as Peter began to chase him.
When Peter finally caught up to him
Matthew was wheezing a little. He clearly
still wasn’t fully recovered.
“It’s a good job Jackie isn’t here.” He
giggled between breaths. “She’s stand
there with her hands on her hips tutting,
because she’s more mature then her
daddies.
Peter grinned, “I think she is too, well
hopefully you wont be the most immature
one once the babies are born, but I
wouldn’t bet on it.”
Matthew grabbed Peter and pulled him
closer, “Ooh you are so mean !”
Peter smiled and kissed Matthew.
A cough behind them stopped anything
further.
They both turned round blushing to find
Richard Lindo, the nurse who had helped
Matthew with his recovery from the Gold
Dew. He was clearly tempted to laugh.
“I take it this means Matthew is recovered
enough that we don’t need a nurse for
him anymore?”
Matthew blushed even more.
“No thank you Richard, I think I can
manage to change him myself now thanks.”
Grinned Peter.
Matthew hit him.
Richard walked off leaving the couple
playfully bickering.

Time index: After Daisy met Daniel
on Earth
_______________________________
Hearing from Daniel about the
PATRIOT being at Earth gave Daisy pause
while she was at Starfleet Medical. She
considered changing direction and going
to see the people she'd missed. The idea
of Mav and Ben made her smile until she
imagined having to see their eyes filled
with sadness and pity once they heard
Jason was dead.
That idea left her feeling guilty and
anxious. She blamed herself for letting
Jason down. She wasn't able to protect
her baby. It left her in a panic to
imagine having to face other people who
loved Jason, too - and having to see
that look in their eyes. She'd let them
all down.
She'd failed them all.
It left her knotted up inside imagining their
disappointed looks - how hurt they'd be
to see their reunion with an old friend
would be lacking Jason's beautiful smile.
No more crawling around on the floor with
Uncle Mav....she sighed, remembering just
how much Mav doted on the baby she'd lost.
Mav was closer to Jason than Ben was.
Since she'd never forgiven herself for being
unable to save Jason, she imagined Mav
wouldn't be able to forgive her either.
Like a shameful coward, the idea of seeing
the big, strong marine cry was more than
she could take. She kept walking and cought
a transport to join her surviving children
for a cruise on the Seine river.
The Seine River is the second longest in
France, but by far the best known,
as it flows through the middle of Paris.
The very pregnant Daisy sat lazily on
a chaise lounge and watched Gavirosh
and Erika.
Mother and children reunited, the ten
year old boy had Erika wide-eyed
and spellbound with stories of the time
he, Daisy and Zuri were on BAJOR and
their boat crashed into this alien energy
barrier.
"MOM!!!" Erika whined. "We're not going
to crash, right?"
"Of course not, sweetie." Daisy laughed.
Then, she chided him. "Gavi - stop scaring
your sister."
Smiling, Gavi replied, "Yes, Mom."
The boardwalks along the Seine were lit
with golden lights - the same as the main
building of Notre Dame. It's regal
architecture towards against the smooth
waters of the river. Gavirosh was able
to go without gloves, now.
He had more control over his electrical
abilities. The cover of darkness and the
softly lit deck of the small cruise boat
made a good setting for the Ornarian boy
to make ammends to his half-Bajoran
sister with a light show.
Erika shrieked and giggled as Gavi took
turns flexing his fingers on his right
hand and then his left, making little
balls of lightening.
Finally, Daisy felt a cramp across her back
and down the front of her stomach. She
groaned slightly and called out,
"Erek? Could you come help me up, please?"
Erika's father came and offered her his arm.
She smiled and let out a little sigh as she
pulled herself upright. Wangel Erek kept
a patient smile on his face until he noticed
her grip on his arm suddenly tighten and her
face tensed.
"Daisy?"
She closed her eyes tightly and said nothing.
He held her steady and glanced down at the
Chaise lounge where she'd been sitting.
The color drained from his face as he realized
she was bleeding.
Speaking softly, he nudged her and said,
"Open your eyes and talk to me. You ok?"
Gavirosh and Erika stopped what they were
doing and looked at Erek and Daisy. The
children sensed something was wrong and
Erika spoke first.
"Mommy?"
Daisy spoke in little more than a whisper,
hissing through gritted teeth.
"Get me back to Starfleet medical and call
Kate and Peter...."
Gavi bravely took Erika's hand and promised
his sister. "Mom's gonna be ok, Snotface -
you'll see."
"I think the babies are finally going to
come." Daisy smiled, beads of sweat already
forming on her face.
Gavi smiled. "I got to see a video of a
birth once atschool. It was cool and gross.
Can I come watch?"
Daisy laughed awkwardly. "I think the
delivery room will already be crowded enough
with both Peter and Matthew in ....there...."
As she said the last word of that
sentence...a harder contraction cought her
by surprise. She gripped onto Erek tightly
and cried out....causing a cruise ship
official to come running.
The two of them gently guided Daisy back to
a resting position on the chair and then Wangel
Erek finally had a free hand to tap his comm
badge to call for Peter, Kate
and Aerdan....

Castor woke to an empty, unfamiliar bed. Used
to immediate memory recall it was a little
strange when it took a couple of moment to
realise where he was. When he did he could
almost feel the ghosts of two pairs of hands
on his body. A faint smile creased his face
before disappearing.
With an economy of motion typical of many
Borg, which, despite his lack of implants,
he still considered himself to be, Castor
stood, extracted his clothes from the
scatter pieces around the room and glanced
at the note that was flashing on the screen.
[[ 'Had to rush off. Daisy's in labor" ]]
As he walked out he allowed himself one
more smile, it was good to know there were
some things he could still do as well as
before despite the lack of implants.

Wangel Erek patiently endured Daisy crushing
his hand as the contractions came. Unfortunately,
they were only 15 minutes apart. That meant
this was going to be a long couple of days....
On the other side of the room, Gavi gleefully
tormented his little sister.
"There's lots of screaming and blood and goo..."
Erika's eyes were wide. "I'm scared."
Struggling to do her lamaze breathing....Daisy
laughed weakly and scolded him.
"Gavi...."
"But, Mom! There is! I saw a video! It was
really cool!" Gavi laughed.
Peter barged in breathlessly.
"Did you think you could go into labor without
me, luv?"
Daisy smiled as Erek gently stepped back and let
Peter move in next to her. Matthew walked around
to the other side of the bed as Daisy breathlessly
replied....
"No, I figured you'd be here to annoy me
all the way...."
Peter grinned. "You're sure this is the real
thing this time? No more of those Braxton hicks?"
Daisy sighed and gave him a smile. Though a little
tired and breathless, she was glowing.
"It's for real now...."
"There was some bleeding..." Wangel Erek spoke
softly.
Peter gulped. "What?!"
"Stop it!" Daisy laughed. "We're talking about
childbirth, Peter - there's going to be some
bleeding..."
Nervously, he started to cry already. Daisy
rolled her eyes and groaned.
"Peter, chill!!"
Matthew laughed and held Daisy's other hand
as a nurse appeared in the doorway.
The door still open...they heard a voice from
fartherup the hallway.....it was a loud, booming
and familiar
voice.....
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Gritting her teeth through another contraction....
Daisy's eyes widened and she hissed.
"Oh, my god, it's not possible!! He's found me!"
