Homecoming
Winona nervously stepped off of the Starfleet shuttle. She was finally home. She had had to stop at Starfleet Medical to get Elaine checked up and registered as an United Earth citizen under the care of Winona. What they had told Winona had stunned her.
Elaine was one-quarter human and three-quarters Betazoid. In other words, her new daughter was very telepathic and empathetic. Tests had been done to check her DNA. All they had found was that she was the granddaughter of arguably one of the most famous Starfleet captains of all time, Captain Johnathan Archer. The rest of her family was not present in the United Earth database. Which meant that the rest of her family was born and raised on Betazed or in space.
Winona went over to the gate and checked out. She put Elaine in the car seat of her old car and pulled out of her parking space. On the way home, she thought of how she would explain this to Frank. Winona decided that she was just going to tell him that she had adopted an orphan. Which was not a complete lie. Frank would just nod off in a drunken stupor afterwards, most likely.
Winona had married Frank for one reason: he had a high-paying job and she now had three kids. His money got them food. Winona hated using him like this, but she was in no fit state to work and support three kids at the same time. Since the death of George, she had been told that she had PTSD. A psych had told her that. A friend of Admiral Archer's, Doctor Tolaris Troi had come from her homeworld at his request to treat the survivors of the Kelvin.
Winona had been her special case. With a newborn son and a severe case of PTSD, she was shipped home with some meds and an eight year paid leave. Only six years had passed and Winona could not wait to get back to Starfleet and space. Her trip to Vulcan had been her first trip off-world in six years.
As she pulled into the drive way of her house, she took a deep breath. Now it was crunch time. She knew Frank would yell at her, and she would cry. Winona didn't care. She had always wanted a little girl, and now that little girl of her dreams was sitting in the back seat of her car, even if she was adopted.
AN- Would anyone like to see a jump to the future? I would think that I would like to. Oh, well. Guess y'all gotta wait, huh? *Evil laugh* Gotcha!
