Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::still oblivious to Emily::
Lt MaryJo:	Aye sir, confirmed...now at warp 8.7..
LtCdr Kang:	Akira>Sir..the missle is speeding up.

CptnThorne:	@::gives the engines all he can::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>There, there. It's alright. You're safe, everything's fine.
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::calls to another nurse:: Towanda!!! I need to restrain her! Gimme a hand!

CmdStecker:	::falls limply against the biobed::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::rushes to Kristi's side:: Luann, it looks like her baby's grown even more!
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::checks one corner... a table and some padds, another corner...::

Lt Brooke:	Luann>It's the effect of the virus, it's cuasing a dangerous growth spurt in the fetus.
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> Doctor, we have a major situation onboard... I suggest you get it together and help..
Lt Brooke:	Luann>I think we might have to either induce labor or perform a Cesearean.

LtCdrAkira:	do know but wait...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Towanda, get a dermal regenerator and patch up her arm. No, wait -- she's got minor
Lt Brooke:	nerve damage.
LtCdrAkira:	Slow us down... I don't want to run into a trithium spread...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>It appears we'll have to repair the severed nerves first ... I don't feel like perfor-

LtCdrAkira:	Emily> Computer, lights...
LtCdr Kang:	::enters TL::

Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::nods at Luann::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::blinks at the brightness::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::to Kristi:: COmmander, you're in sickbay Do you recall what happened?
LtCdrAkira:	+taps+ Captain Thorne... we can rendezvous with your half of the ship anytime...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>I need to perform some surgery on your arm, so I'm gogin to have to sedate you. Can
Lt Brooke:	you understand me?
CmdStecker:	::thinks:: Ja.. Das Kapitan und I vere taken prisoner.. Und then ve killed
CmdStecker:	out captors..
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::readies a sedative:: This shouldn't take long, Commander. Are you ready?

CptnThorne:	+Akira+ Understood... the saucer should be in place in ten minutes.

CmdStecker:	But before dat, one of dem shot me vith a disruptor.
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> Doctor? ::takes a step closer...::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::blinks again::
CmdStecker:	::nods: Jawolh.

LtCdr Kang:	::see Kristi::
CmdStecker:	I am vell.. Doctor, how ist the baby?
CptnThorne:	@+Akira+ I may be injured from the shockwave of this
CptnThorne:	explosion... it may be wise to have medical staff standing by.
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> what's wrong doctor?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::her mouth tightens somewhat::Your baby has grown rapidly, due to the effects of the
Lt Brooke:	virus.
LtCdrAkira:	+taps+ Understood Captain...
CmdStecker:	::color drains from her face:: Ist the baby all right?
Lt Brooke:	>Dammit, Thorne!!!  If sickbay has to handle one more patient, I'll ... !!!<

CmdStecker:	<ROFL!>
LtCdrAkira:	+sickbay+ Prepare a medical team for the Captain...
CptnThorne:	<You'll...act like the CMO? :)>
CmdStecker:	<or give you another physical. :) >
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>+Akira+ We've kinda got out hands full down here, sir.
Lt Brooke:	Luann>The baby is fine, Commander ... but she may need to be delivered ... very soon.
LtCdrAkira:	+taps+ Where is Doctor Dolan and Signaur? Obviously one of them as to be free...
CmdStecker:	::blinks:: Oh..
LtCdr Kang:	::waiting outside, trying to the doctors attention::
CptnThorne:	@::the USS Kamikaze passes the missile::

Lt Brooke:	here?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::finishes up repairing Kristi's arm:: There, good as new.

CmdStecker:	Danke, doctor.
LtCdrAkira:	+Towanda+ I should call Signaru back.. but she's a renagade what does she care?

Lt Brooke:	>Kang! Brooke's not in SB, talk to Luann or Towanda. :-) <

CmdStecker:	::wonders what he is doing there, then returns her attention to the ceiling::
LtCdr Kang:	::<<OOPS>>
Lt Brooke:	>That's okay, Kang!<
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::looks back once more and then out the door and toward sickbay::

LtCdr Kang:	Luann..how is the commander.
CptnThorne:	@::gets to a safe distance and drops out of warp::
LtCdrAkira:	::looks around the bridge... do we know the eta until the dreadnought and kamikaze collide?
CptnThorne:	@Computer, begin saucer separation!
CmdStecker:	::notices that the ceiling is awfully dirty.. Makes a mental note to have an
CmdStecker:	ensign clean it::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Mr, Kang, Commander Stecker is going to be fine. But I really need you to kind of not
Lt Brooke:	be here right now ...
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::enters sickbay:: We've got one incoming...
CmdStecker:	::hears Luann and turns:: No, Doctor.. It ist alright.

CmdStecker:	::would get up, but they have her restrained, which is annoying to her::

CptnThorne:	@::The Kamikaze's saucer slowly glides away from the Secondary hull::
LtCdr Kang:	I wish to stay..::places one of his hands on her shoulders::

CmdStecker:	::is very glad he didn't touch her injured shoulder::

LtCdr Kang:	I heard something about..the baby..
LtCdrAkira:	@Helm> Dreadnought ETA to Sector 001, in 30 minutes...
CptnThorne:	@::moves the secondary hull away and ensures the saucer is
CptnThorne:	in place:: +Akira+ Can you confirm proper placement of the

CptnThorne:	saucer?
CmdStecker:	Ja..  It is time, apparently

LtCdr Kang:	::nods::If it is ok...I would like to be here..with you.
Lt Brooke:	>{S booted}<
CmdStecker:	::softly:: I vould like that, Kang.
Lt Brooke:	>Damn! Where was I???<
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ if the speed and trajector is correct then it will hit in ten minutes...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Whoa! Head rush! What'd I miss???
LtCdr Kang:	::gets her a gentle kiss on her forehead::

CptnThorne:	@+Akira+ I will remain here to ensure final placement.
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::pulls another nurse out of his duties and they wait for the incomming...::
CmdStecker:	Kang, I do not know if I am...ready.. Vhat if I'm not a good mother, vhat if..
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ We'll be in transporter range the whole time...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Cdr. Stecker, I'm going to need to perform a C-section. You can remain conscious the
Lt Brooke:	entire time, but you will be given a local anesthetic.
LtCdr Kang:	No..you will be a great mother..
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ give us the signal or we'll just get you and warp away...
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::preps for surgery::
LtCdr Kang:	::takes her hand::

CmdStecker:	::gladly holds Kang's hand::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::tries not to roll her eyes at the PDA before her::
CptnThorne:	@+Akira+ I would like to try to bring this half of the ship back
CptnThorne:	to Starfleet... we need all the ships we can get.
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::frustrated:: What the hell is wrong with her?

Lt Brooke:	Luann>Dr. Signaru, I'm sorry if Dr. Dolan is being uncooperative, but we may have wounded
Lt Brooke:	coming in, and I need your attention here.
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ Understood, but is that so wise to be there when a massive trithium bomb
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ is about to detoniate? I'm sure the ship will be fine after a sweep but you'll
LtCdrAkira:	+Thorne+ have to get out...

Lt Brooke:	Luann>::her expression softens as she sees the anxiety in Kristi's eyes::
LtCdr Kang:	and..I Captain will make a good father..
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Commander, are you ready for this?
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::nods::
LtCdr Kang:	::heart breaks, thinking he has lost kristi::
CptnThorne:	@+Akira+ Agreed.  Ten seconds before impact, beam me out and go to warp.

LtCdr Kang:	<<Um..no..look at WaterWorld>>
CmdStecker:	Can you ever forgive me for being so selfish?

CmdStecker:	<never saw WaterWorld> :)
CptnThorne:	@::flies across the room into the bulkhead, conks out::
Lt Brooke:	EMH>::to Steck and Kang:: Alright, that's just about enough of that.
LtCdrAkira:	Helm> Sir, we've dropped out of warp...
Lt Brooke:	EMH>Nurse, please begin to induce labor.
CmdStecker:	::looks at the EMH:: Who asked you anyvay?
LtCdrAkira:	Get on an intercept for the Kamikaze engineering section...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::readies a hypo packed full of drugs::
LtCdrAkira:	Helm> Aye sir.
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::holds the hypo against Kristi's neck, pausing::

CmdStecker:	<Luann needs to take the restraints off, btw> :)
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::exchanges a nervous glance with Towanda::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::whispers:: Hey, how about removing her restraints, Luann?
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::simply does what the EMH tells her to do...::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::smakcs her forehead::  D'oh!!! ::removes restraints::
CmdStecker:	Doctor? Perhaps someone should check on Commander Young..
CmdStecker:	::hoping to draw some of the attention away from her::
LtCdrAkira:	ACTION: Atlantis approache the Kamikaze...
Lt Brooke:	EMH>::to Emily:: Doctor, would you help the mother-to-be sit upright?
LtCdrAkira:	+taps+ Captain?

Lt Brooke:	EMH>Oh, and put her feet in the stirrups.
CptnThorne:	@::the Kamikaze is hanging powerless in space, but salvageable::
LtCdrAkira:	Emily> ::silently complies...::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Young? Oh, he's fine. Lost an arm, but he'll be alright.
LtCdrAkira:	Are we getting any life signs?
CmdStecker:	::looks at Kang and almost regrets opening her mouth::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Well, doc ::looks at the EMH:: Ready when you are!

Lt MaryJo:	::still scanning::looks up::  Commander Akira, sir...the lone
LtCdrAkira:	::looks around the bridge::
Lt MaryJo:	occupant is unconscious...

LtCdrAkira:	Is it safe to beam him into sickbay?
CmdStecker:	::feels labor pains start:
Lt MaryJo:	Aye sir, I believe so..
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::taking a deep breath:: Here goes nothing.
LtCdr Kang:	I still..love you..
LtCdrAkira:	Do it... and get a skeleton crew over to the battle bridge of the Kamikaze...
CmdStecker:	::breaths like they told her to in birthing classes::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>That's it, Krisit. Easy does it, you're doing fine ...
LtCdrAkira:	Send an engineering team too... I think my 1st needs a little something to do...
CmdStecker:	Ja, und I still love you, Kang.

Lt Brooke:	<::thwaps the typo monster::>
Lt MaryJo:	Aye sir.
CmdStecker:	::grist teeth, yells a bit as she pushes::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::offers Kristi some ice chips::
Lt MaryJo:	::transports the captain to the sickbay::
LtCdrAkira:	Also, what are the truthium levels on the Kamikaze?
Lt MaryJo:	They are quite high sir...
LtCdrAkira:	Nurse> ::prepares a containment field for the captain...::
Lt MaryJo:	I wouldn't suggest transporting anyone over there right now..
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Whoa, whoa ... hold up there, Kristi. You need to wait for the contractions.

CptnThorne:	@::his body is trilithium contaminated::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>I'll coach you, okay? We're gonna cout to ten together, and THEN push.
CmdStecker:	I am having contractions!! Trust me, ok??
CmdStecker:	::snarling::
Lt MaryJo:	<<ROFL, Kristi>>
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::sighs:: Shoulda gone with C-section ...
LtCdrAkira:	Understood, we have the captain in a containment field?
CmdStecker:	::calms down and breathes some more:: Ja.. Count to ten.
Lt Brooke:	EMH>::counting:: Okay, 1...2...3..4..5..6..7...8...9...10... Push.
Lt MaryJo:	Aye sir.

LtCdr Kang:	You are doing good..
CmdStecker:	::releases her grip on Kang's hand a bit::
CmdStecker:	::pushes and feels her hand closing like a vice grip around his::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::smiles and wipes Kristi's forehead with a damp cloth:: You're doing great, Kristi.
LtCdrAkira:	::nods:: Well... ::thinks:: What now?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>That's it! Now breathe!

LtCdrAkira:	::sits back and sighs in relief...::
CmdStecker:	::breathes again:: Vhy...dost dis hurt so much? I thought you...gave me something?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>I know it hurts, hon. We can't give you anything for the pain, not at this point.
LtCdrAkira:	I guess I'd better see what's up with Doctor Dolan... if Signaru has sickbay...

Lt Brooke:	Luann>But you're doing fine, trust me. It'll all be over soon.
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Okay, here comes another contraction... Ready?
LtCdrAkira:	You have the bridge Lieutenant...
CmdStecker:	JA!!!
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Okay --- push!!!
LtCdrAkira:	::enters tl and sighs:: Good excuse to leave...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Push, Kristi! Push! I can see the baby's head crowning!
CmdStecker:	::summons the strength required and pushes::
Lt MaryJo:	Aye sir
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::smiles:: Okay, okay!!! Good, now relax a bit ...

LtCdrAkira:	Nurse> ::detox's Thorne's body, nurse is wearing a radiation suit...::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>Only one more ...
LtCdrAkira:	::TL stops and Akira exits...::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Okay, Kristi, one more contraction. Give it everything you've got!
CmdStecker:	::lets her shoulders sag as she lies back against the table..:: Only von more??
CptnThorne:	::still unconcious::
LtCdrAkira:	::walks down the hallway and sees the chime blasted open and the door slid wide::
CmdStecker:	::takes a deep breath and starts to push again::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Yes, Kristi! You can do it!!!
LtCdrAkira:	::walks in:: Hello? Anyone in here?

CmdStecker:	::tries not to yell in absolute, God-awful pain::
Lt Brooke:	>Hey, Kang!!! Where's the fatherly encouragement! Don't tell me you passed out! ;-) <
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::doesn't respond::
LtCdr Kang:	Yes..you are doing great..
CmdStecker:	<he's in shock> :)
LtCdrAkira:	Nurse> Detox is complete... ::uses a hypospray to inject some chemicals into Thorne...::
Lt Brooke:	EMH>::grabs the baby's shoulders:: Only a little farther now ...
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Okay, Kristi. This is it, last one, I promise. Last one!
CmdStecker:	::pushes some more, and is quite thankful that there is only one child::
Lt Brooke:	>LOL!<

LtCdrAkira:	::looks around, sees the phaser rifle first and Doctor second:: Hey, what's up doc?
CmdStecker:	::does that breathing thing again, and wonders who thought of that idiotic idea::
CmdStecker:	<pictures Akira nibbling on a carrot>
LtCdrAkira:	::remembers the time when he was in a catatomic like state and who helped him then:: <lol>
Lt MaryJo:	<<can picture that too>>
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::blinks but says nothing::
LtCdrAkira:	<should I send that picture to his crew as well... :)>
LtCdrAkira:	<his = this>
CmdStecker:	::collapses back against the table, exhausted::
CmdStecker:	<Yes. :) >

LtCdrAkira:	<Okay... later... you'll all get to see what I look like...>
CptnThorne:	<oooo,..neat!>>
Lt Brooke:	Luann>I need one final push, Kristi. You're not done just yet ... this is the last one.
LtCdrAkira:	<oh yes neatorifica... :)>
CmdStecker:	You keep saying  that!! <outraged>
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::strokes Kristi's hair:: Last one, Kristi. One more big push!
Lt MaryJo:	::sitting in the CO chair::wondering where everyone is::
LtCdrAkira:	::gets infront of the doctor, sees no response, grabs the flashlight from the rifle::
Lt MaryJo:	::holding her abdomen as the baby kicks::
CmdStecker:	::breathes to calm herself, then gets ready to push for the last time.. Again::

Lt Brooke:	Nurse>::checks up on Thorne::
LtCdrAkira:	A strobing light should provoke a reaction... ::flashes the modified light into her eyes...:
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>::injects a mild stimulant to rouse the captain::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::blinks several times and raises a hand to shield her eyes::
CmdStecker:	::pushes:::
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>Captain Blackthorne? Sir, can you hear me?
Lt MaryJo:	::wondering how Kristi is doing::and how long until her baby is born::
CptnThorne:	::mumbles::
Lt Brooke:	EMH>::finally pulls the baby out and hands her to Towanda, who swaddles her::
LtCdrAkira:	::pulls her hand aside:: Doc?! You there?

Lt Brooke:	Luann>Kristi!!! You did it!!! Your baby's born!!!
CmdStecker:	::hears the baby crying::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::mumbles incoherently:: Michael??
LtCdr Kang:	::looks down at Kristi::
CmdStecker:	::begins to smile, not only at the sound, but at the fact that she's not in
CmdStecker:	pain anymore:::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::smiles at the new mother:: Wonderful job, Kristi.
LtCdr Kang:	Yes you did great..
CmdStecker:	::grins at Kang::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::quickly assesses the newborn's health::

LtCdrAkira:	::blinks:: Huh? Uh... Yeah... It's me...
CptnThorne:	::the sound of the baby crying gets through to him, and he starts to wake::
Lt Brooke:	Towanda>::places the beautiful baby girl in Kristi's arms::
CmdStecker:	::takes the baby and holds it close to her::
LtCdrAkira:	::wonders what she said again...:: What did you say?
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>::scanning Thorne:: Captain? Can you hear me?
CmdStecker:	::still smiling:: Kang? Vill you look at her?
LtCdr Kang:	It looks like you..
CptnThorne:	::opens his eyes and looks past the nurse at Kristi::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>Michael? Is that you?

CmdStecker:	::is oblivious to the Captain:: <no offense> :)
LtCdrAkira:	Uh... ::mumbles:: no... Yeah... yes, it's me...
CptnThorne:	<None taken... he's still trying to figure out what's going on. :)>
Lt MaryJo:	<<GRR>>
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::smiles:: Your baby is doing wonderfully, Kristi. How are you feeling?
CmdStecker:	<gives Mary some glue>
LtCdrAkira:	How are you... ::tries to remember her first name and gives up::?
CmdStecker:	::smiling:: Great, just vonderful.
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::stirring:: Michael, what are you doing here?
CmdStecker:	::touches the baby and makes sure she really is alright, not caring what

CmdStecker:	the doctors say::
Lt Brooke:	Luann and Towanda>::smile and leave the baby with her mother for a few minutes::
LtCdr Kang:	What are you naming her?
LtCdrAkira:	What am I doing here? I came to see you...
CmdStecker:	::grins at Kang again:: You think she does?  Here.. Vhy don't you hold her?
LtCdrAkira:	::voice:: You don't have a clue...

Lt Brooke:	Brooke>But ... but aren't you still on the USS Artemis?
LtCdrAkira:	::mumbles:: I know that...
CmdStecker:	I don't know vhat I'm going to name her.. I haven't had time to think of a name.
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>Captain Blackthorne, Commander Stecker just gave birth to your daughter ...

CptnThorne:	Me daughter? ::still a little woozy::
LtCdrAkira:	I was... but you know the war... things and people get mixed up...
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::puzzled:: But Michael, what about the accident?
CmdStecker:	::holds the baby out for Kang::
Lt Brooke:	Aren't you dead?
Lt MaryJo:	::still on the bridge::
Lt Brooke:	Or, am I dead too?
LtCdrAkira:	::blinks:: ah...
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>Yes, sir ... you have a beautiful, healthy baby daughter!
CmdStecker:	Kang, please take her.. She von't hurt you, I promise.

LtCdr Kang:	Um...
LtCdr Kang:	ok..
LtCdrAkira:	Your not dead...
CptnThorne:	::his head clears:: I do!
LtCdrAkira:	You'll have to help me recall, what happened to me exactly?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>+tap+Sickbay to bridge.
LtCdr Kang:	::holds the baby::It..so..human..
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>::smiles:: Yes, do you think you can stand?
CmdStecker:	::smiles as Kang holds the baby:: I think she likes you..
LtCdrAkira:	I mean I've seen everything... just about... I can't remember it all...

CmdStecker:	Ja, she ist human..
CmdStecker:	I vish she had some Klingon in her, though.
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>Michael, the accident? On the Artemis? Just after I transferred there?
CptnThorne:	::tries to get up off the biobed:;
Lt Brooke:	You're dead ... and if you're dead, I must be dead too ...
Lt MaryJo:	+Taps+Bridge here.  What is it sickbay?
LtCdrAkira:	:;thinks:: that's right your dead... but how did you die?
Lt Brooke:	Luann>+Bridge+We've got the Captain, he's fine. I'm sorry we didn't report sooner, but thing
Lt Brooke:	s are a bit crazy down here ...
CmdStecker:	ACTION: The baby looks at Kang, and smiles.

LtCdr Kang:	Maybe if you approve she can learn..some klingon.
Lt MaryJo:	+Sickbay+Understood..
Lt Brooke:	+Bridge+And Commander Stecker just had her baby!
CmdStecker:	<see if that melts a Kligon heart>
CmdStecker:	:)
LtCdrAkira:	There must be a logical explaination for everything...
CmdStecker:	<Klingon>
Lt Brooke:	>Nah, Kristi -- it's just gas!!<
LtCdr Kang:	::grins::
LtCdr Kang:	<<LOL>>

CptnThorne:	::stands gingerly::

Lt MaryJo:	+sickbay+Understood...
Lt MaryJo:	::smiles::
CmdStecker:	<LOL>
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>Captain, would you like to see your daughter now? She's with her mother ...
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>And Commander Kang.
CptnThorne:	::wanders over to Kristi::
CmdStecker:	::still grinning at Kang and the baby::
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::smiles strangely:: Yes, and logic dictates that I've died, and found you again.
Lt Brooke:	We were meant to be together after all, Michael ...

LtCdrAkira:	::blinks:: Ah... Er... Well... ::laughs to himself::
LtCdr Kang:	::looks at the Captain::
CmdStecker:	::senses someone else standing there.  turns::
CmdStecker:	Kapitan.
CptnThorne:	So, Number One...
Lt Brooke:	Oh, Michael, I've missed you so!!! ::reaches out to him:: (w) Hold me!
LtCdrAkira:	::voice:: You have to...
Lt Brooke:	Nurse>::realizes what she just did, and creeps away:: Oops.
CmdStecker:	Ja, Kapitan?
LtCdrAkira:	Oh... sure... why not... ::goes to hug her::

CptnThorne:	Congratulations. ::smiles::
Lt Brooke:	Luann>::exchanges a glance with Towanda:: (w) Let's get out of here.
Lt Brooke:	Luann>Computer, deactivate EMH. Thanks, doc.
CmdStecker:	::still grinning:: Danke.. Vould you like to see her?
Lt Brooke:	Brooke>::holds Akira, having completely lost her grip on reality::
LtCdrAkira:	::to himself:: brain, don't fail me now!
Lt MaryJo:	::everything is just humming along on the bridge::Mary is
Lt MaryJo:	daydreaming about when her baby will be born::
CptnThorne:	::looks to  Kang:: <w>I think that she's fine where she is.

Lt Brooke:	>LOL, Akira!!!<
LtCdrAkira:	::outlout:: Thanks for everything...

Lt Brooke:	::shakes her head::Oh no, Michael. I lost you once, and it almost killed me. I'm never
Lt Brooke:	letting go of you again.
Lt Brooke:	>Hey! What happened to the good old German names ... like Frau?<
CmdStecker:	<Frau is Mrs in German. :)>
Lt MaryJo:	<<yeah, could call her Nasty for short>>
CmdStecker:	<and the baby's father is Irish.. Remember that. :) >
CptnThorne:	<Aye, ye'd better!>
LtCdrAkira:	Well... then could you at least loosen your grip a little, I'm not asking much here...
Lt Brooke:	::looks up at him, eyes shining::
Lt Brooke:	::whispers:: I love you, Michael. You know that, don't you? I always have ...

LtCdrAkira:	::tries not to look her in the eyes::
CmdStecker:	::notices that Kang has taken the baby out of sickbay::
Lt Brooke:	>::sings:: Kang got boooooted!!!!<
LtCdrAkira:	::remembers Doctor Teller's advice for play acting another role::
CmdStecker:	::hands the baby to Blackthorne:: Here, Kapitan.

LtCdrAkira:	::promptly looks down:: Uh... darling... I have to tell you something...
CptnThorne:	::takes the child in awe::

CmdStecker:	Kapitan!! Don't drop her!1
CmdStecker:	!
LtCdrAkira:	What if I told you... ::chuckles:: That I'm not really Michael?
Lt Brooke:	::smiles strangely again:: Silly Michael ...
