TITLE: A Serious Thing
RATING: G
SUMMARY: A very young Deanna is introduced to what will become a lifelong passion. :-)
ARCHIVE: Do as you like, please send me the link.
DISCLAIMER: Paramount owns everyone & everything in this story, but I WROTE IT. Pass it on if you like, but please give me credit.
NOTES: Okay, I told you guys I might continue the "baby" series. Well, here's Part II, of sorts. I've nicknamed the series "Eyes of Childhood", for obvious reasons (if you read the last one, "At the Midnight Hour"). But enough about that. So continues my story, without further ado...
**************************
Lt. Ian Andrew Troi, Starfleet, looked at his young daughter seriously. "Let me give you some advice, munchkin. Life's rough sometimes. It's a bumpy road. Just strap yourself in and hang on tight. And never, but never, forget about the therapeutic qualities inherent in chocolate."
She just stared back at him, a quizzical expression crossing her face before she lost interest completely. Of course, she was only six months old.
"Deanna?" he asked, trying to capture her attention again. "Deanna?" Laughing softly, he picked up the piece of chocolate that was sitting nearby, and took a bite. He was something of an addict, he had to admit. Deanna's head turned at that, and an idea formed in his mind. He broke off a small bit, and offered it to her. She accepted, slowly eating it. He laughed.
"You like that, huh?" He reached out, and ruffled her dark brown hair affectionately. "That's my girl."
His wife walked into the room a moment later. He grinned. "Hey, Lexie." It was his nickname for her.
Lwaxana Troi smiled softly, then cast an odd glance in the baby's general direction. "What in the world are you feeding her?"
He shrugged. "Chocolate."
"She's 6 months old."
"I just gave her a little bit. And, besides, it's never too soon to start."
She patted his cheek affectionately, then picked the baby up. "Come here, little one. I swear, Ian, you're going to turn her into just as much of an addict as you are."
"Maybe even more so. She's female, after all."
"Well, of course she is. What's that got to do with anything?"
"It's kind of a human thing."
Lwaxana left the room, not even pretending to understand. She would, though, later..._much_ later.
***************************
(Just in case anyone was wondering, I got the title from Deanna's line in "The Game": "Chocolate is a serious thing." I can well understand, sharing the addiction myself. :-). )
