A/N: This is the same story just rewritten so it will have the same plot line as the old one. Hope you like it.

Chapter One: The Unexpected Transfer

On the Klingon Planet that is home to the Khitomer outpost, a young Vulcan girl walked into the laboratory that her father spent most of his time in working on a project. The young girl climbed on her father's back to see his work, and then the man stood up and grabbed his PADD. He made his way to the doorway with his daughter on his back still. The man had his daughter climb down and he kneeled down next to her.

"Autumn, you must stay here while I give my report to the Klingon High Council and Federation members that have come here to get it. I will return soon," ordered the Vulcan man trying to leave.

"But Father, I want to go to the outpost with you. The Klingons must know about me by now," replied the young brave Vulcan girl.

"Autumn, you are staying here until I return."

"Yes, Father."

Short after her father left, she snuck out through her hidden passage and followed her father to the outpost. This was Autumn's way to sneak out to play with the Klingon kids when her father was hard at work. Autumn walked in to the Council Chamber, she looked around the room for her father who was in the middle of the chamber. She watched her father hand the report over to the Klingon Council and Federation member. Minutes after her father did this, she saw a Klingon make his way to the communication room. She followed him and over the conversation that the Klingon was having.

"The Vulcan has finished his research. I believe it is time for you to cross the Neutral Zone, Commodore," said the Klingon.

Eighteen Years Later

"Number One, meet Counselor Troi and me in Transporter Room Three at eighteen hundred hour. We are receiving a bridge officer," requested a British man, who held the rank of Captain.

"I will be there, Captain. Will they be replacing Mr. Crusher?" asked a tall bearded man, who is sometimes called Number One.

"Yes, she will be at ops and helping Beverly in Sick Bay. Beverly told me that she has worked with the new officer. Shall we make our way to meet her."

"Yes, Captain. I believe it is time to greet our new officer."

The two men made their way to the Transporter room to meet the new crew member. They entered the room to be greeted by a Betazoid woman, who has an outgoing personality, standing by the transporter operator. The Captain nodded to the operator to energize, after two other crew members entered. Two humanoid figures began to form in front of everyone, one adult and one child.

The Vulcan girl stepped forward. "Lieutenant Autumn Sirrock, reporting for duty sir."

"Very well, this must be your son, Ezekiel Oliver Sirrock. Commander Riker, will you show the lieutenant to her quarters?" asked the Captain.

"Captain Picard, the available quarters were given to the colonists, so we don't have room for them," replied the tall bearded man.

"Jean Luc, I have extra room in my quarters with Wesley being at the academy," mentioned a woman in a doctor coat with red-ish brown hair.

"Are you sure Beverly?" asked Captain Picard.

"Yes, I know Autumn from the academy when I was there," replied the female doctor.

"Make it so, Commander Riker show Lieutenant Sirrock to the Crusher's quarters," ordered Captain Picard.

"Autumn, when you get a chance meet me in Sick bay," said Beverly as Autumn, Ezekiel, and Riker left the room.

Autumn quietly followed Riker to the turbolift with her son. While waiting in the turbolift, silence filled the air causing Autumn to want the turbolift to open. The doors opened letting the noise of the corridor in, comforting Autumn from the awkward silence. Riker let Autumn and Ezekiel in the quarters then he followed them in.

"Thank you, Commander Riker," thanked Autumn.

"You have bridge duty first thing in the morning, Lieutenant. You better be there," said Riker, in a stern voice, handing Autumn her communicator.

"Yes, sir."

Autumn took some time to unpack the bags, when she looked over to her six year old, Vulcan/Bajoran son, who was fast asleep. She ran her hand through his soft, curly brown hair remembering when he was born. She picked Ezekiel up and put him on her back then went to Sick bay. Beverly was finishing up with a patient, when Autumn walked in. Autumn looked around Sick bay which looked the same as the last one. Beverly walked over, with a tricorder and hypospray in her hand, to Autumn and Ezekiel.

"Thank you for coming, Autumn. How is Ezekiel doing?" asked Beverly leading Autumn to her office. "Last time, I saw you was about two years ago at the academy right after you graduated."

"Ezekiel has been a struggle but I still love him. Sometimes I wonder what my father would think of him," explained Autumn. "When he spends time with his dad, Ezekiel becomes a whole different kid."

"I bet he would love him. Can you help with the colonist," asked Beverly giving Autumn her own tricorder.

Beverly and Autumn finished up with the last group of colonist and clean up the Sick bay. After a long night of working, they made their way to deck eight to retire. Autumn laid her very tried son down on the bed, then sat down on the couch next to Beverly and began to talk.

"Tell me this, has something happen between you and Will? The look he gave you when you arrived to the Enterprise, it as if you two know each before you came aboard," asked Beverly.

"About three years ago, I was on Risa with Ezekiel and Kidol, who is Ezekiel's father. Commander Riker and I meet and spent most of the week together then we got into an argument," explained Autumn. "I don't know if he is still mad about that."

Not long after the two began to talk, all bridge officers were called to the bridge. The officers sat at the long rectangular table in the observatory room. Captain Picard stood up and walked around the table looking out the window into the black endless space. A Klingon crew member walked in late and sat down next to Autumn then Captain Picard began to speak.

"We are to rendezvous with the T'Pau. We are to escort Ambassador Sarek and Ambassador Spock to a meeting on Babel," explained Captain Picard. "Autumn, I am assigning Commander Riker and Lieutenant Sirrock to the Ambassadors."

Autumn hesitated to answer. "Yes, sir."

"Sir, what are we going to do with all the Colonists?" asked the Starfleet Klingon.

"We will drop them off at the nears Starbase and continue on to Babel, Worf," replied Riker.

"Everyone is dismissed. Autumn please stay, I wish to speak to you," said Captain Picard as most of the bridge crew left. "Why did you hesitate, Lieutenant? You are the best one to help Commander Riker."

"Captain, I am not the one you want for this assignment. Worf would be a better choice, sir."

"Why is that Lieu…" asked the Captain only to be interrupted by Commander Riker.

"Captain, the Vulcan vessel is here and they wish to speak to you. Ambassador Sarek is with the Captian," said Riker's voice over the communicator.

"On my way, Number One. Lieutenant, I want you at ops," ordered Jean Luc Picard.

Jean Luc Picard and Autumn stepped onto the bridge, Autumn took her post at ops while Picard answered hail. After a lengthy talk with the Vulcan Captain, Captain Picard and the two assigned to the Ambassadors walked to Transporter Room Three to greet the Ambassadors. Autumn stuck herself behind the other two so she could barely see the transporter platform. Two Vulcan figures appeared on the platform. Autumn stepped behind Riker to hide from the two Vulcans.
