The Morning Came

The morning came with a buzzing sound. At first I wanted to ignore it. That infernal alarm clock Telling me its time to get back to work. We were all snuggled up together and warm. Shit I hate this. I nudged you. T'Lana, time to get up. You moaned and stretched. Moaned from the soreness. The baby slept well I hear him stirring. I call for the nurse and the nanny. Last nights nanny came in. Jar'don isn't back yet? No he just established orbit and will be beaming down soon.

T'Lana moans ,morning baby how are you Jar'an? Jar'an Yawns. Like you. I will feel better when I get us our coffee.. T'Lana MM that sounds good, The nanny brings me little Jar'el to feed and hold for a while. He looks so much like you honey.

I climb out of bed and start towards the replicater. As the servants started to come in and gasped and hid their eyes. Suddenly I felt a little over exposed and said shit sorry about that, ladies. I closed my robe.

The ladies giggled I turned around and T'Lana giggled too.

T'Lana said, Honey I have a good reason why I am not dressed ,what is your s laughs and moans. It seems I haven't made friends with the world yet. Got so used to it being just us.

T'Lana said, in your mind, baby you was showing your manhood ,that is why they are laughing. Yes Honey, I found that out. Got you your coffee and set it down on your nightstand while you feed Jar'el.

T'Lana Smiles, honey look he is reaching for your hand. Jar'el grabs my finger. Wow he is getting stronger.. T'Lana Laughs, baby he knows your his daddy. Awww baby would you like your daddy to hold you and feed you. I think you will like that. I scoop him up and take the bottle. Holding his head up I give him his bottle and he goes to town on it. Wow he is hungry..

T'Lana Smiled, Its his second bottle honey, Our son is going to be a big strong young man one day. I know Jar'an said, we are going to have to run off all the girlfriends..OOPS! Here he needs a diaper change. I have to get a shower. I scoot into the shower sipping my coffee.

T'Lana Called out, Awe you Bratt! Then calls the nanny over to help me get the things i need to change Jar'el. Chuckeling, I said, I have to get ready for work honey. It's my first time back since the wedding. You have already started back. Besides, I have to deal with our admiral over Jar'dons issue.

T'Lana said, Damn I wish I could go back to work in my office. The doc and nurse say I have to say home and in bed.

Stepping out of the shower I put my robe on and made sure it was closed. My communicator chirped. Flipping it opened, I said yes? Its Jar'don Yes we are descent beam down.

T'Lana Giggles and whistles, You come out into the bed room and see me standing up by the crib.

Jar'an was Looking outside. You know we still have that hospital gurney. We could get you in it and lower it all the way and sit up the back. Then You could get outside for a while.. What the hell are you doing? Standing like that I rush to your side as you place Jar'el in the crib. T'Lana said, Someone had to take care of Jar'el the nanny never came in so I got up and changed his diaper and burped him.

Jar'don shimmered into place. and immediately came to my aid as I help you back to bed. Damn honey, You are one stubborn woman sometimes.

T'Lana said, I had no choice. You always have a choice. If you need me holler I will get what you need. Jar'don Please inform the servants that Miss T'Lana is to stay in bed they are to check in on her regularly and see to hers and the baby's needs OK?

T'Lana said, Damn, you are one protective husband aren't you?

Hi dad, hugs him and kisses his cheek.

Jar'an said, For now, I understand we have an issue up in my ship. We will deal with that in a minute. The Nanny's shift is over and the replacement is waiting to be escorted in. Can you take care of that first?

Jar'don said no problem. Married life a little busy isn't it? I chuckled. I am learning so. Was she so stubborn when she was growing up. Worse he said. The quickest way to get her to do anything is to either make her mad or tell her she can't do it.

The Nanny knocked on the glass door waving and smiling at Jar'don. Raising my eyebrow, I think she likes you. Jar'don blushed. Don't get that started again Jar'al.

T'Lana said, Dad! Don't tell him my secrets. Dam, No fair. Laughs.

As he leaves, I noticed the servants getting ready to clean up. I said ladies, First I'd like to apologize for when I first woke up. I want you to spread the word, T'Lana is to stay in bed. She is to be cared for at all times. Help her get up. Help her sit down. She is not to try to slide or scoot sideways. Ok?

T'Lana Says to my mind. Are you for getting something my love?

My communicator chirped again. Damn! I can't even get my shirt on. I flipped it open and said hold on a minute.

I set the communicator down next to the office screen so it could link the signal and opened the Transmission.

T'Lana sits on the side of the bed waiting for the nurse and one of the maids help me to the rest room .

I was still pulling my shirt on when the President spoke up. Sorry for the early morning call. I pulled my shirt down over my head. Good morning to you too. I guess you received my response to your determination? Yes, but that is not why I am calling. Jar'an said, Oh, The president continued. I understand the ambassador's office has been used for personal issues. Inquiries, searches and alike.

This is just a friendly reminder Jar'an. That office is for political and social issues only. I thought for a minute. Ok You are right on this one. I will correct the issue so it won't happen again. Good, that settled how's the baby. He is well and eating almost as much as his mom. Married life is a little tuff isn't it?

Jar'an said, It has its benefits but It is a busy life. You should give it a try. The president continued, I heard about T'Lana. That was a close one. I am glad she is getting better. Thank You Sir. If there is nothing else, I am kind of trying to get dressed and take care of my family before I get to my office.

The president Chuckled. Ok I will call you later.

T'Lana Linked to my mind and listening to what's going on, Honey is everything ok? I saw Jar'don come back with the other nanny. So I called him outside and asked him what was the issue?

Everything is fine honey. I just have to hit the ground running today. I will be back in to see you in just a minute. Jar'don said Norvo was badly injured. Your medical personnel managed to repair allot. The issue mainly is his wife. She is super protective of him. and she is Andorion.

Jar'an said, Please put them in the guest house and post a guard at this gate. T'Lana will be holding meetings outside here on the patio. I think if we lower the gurney and sit up the back we can wheel her in and out allot more safely.

T'Lana was fussing, Why do i have to keep laying down? I think I can sit up for a little bit . Jar'an said, Ok now, I need something to eat. Have you slept yet? Jar'don said I slept on ship. Good. This is getting complicated. I got to go back in and check on T'Lana. See you later.. Jar'don said he will take care of our guests.

Ok Honey, I'm coming Stepping back in.. Ok don't get excited but Norvo will be here soon. There is a couple of kinks though.

T'Lana Dax Honey whats going on ? I need to get out of this bed to help .

Jar'an R Tigan No hon. Jar'don is taking care of Norvo. We will be meeting him for dinner. He is staying in our guesthouse. He was injured in the escape pod crash as was his wife in her pod crash. They took care of each other for over two years and fell in love. She is Andorion. A servant handed me a plate with a sausage bisket on it. Awwww Thank You. T'Lana said, I'm worried honey. Please I need to see my brother, Please I beg you.

Honey, I know you want to go running over but Andorions are super protective of their mates, especially if they are injured. She could knock you across the patio with out even realizing it. I know. It was years ago but I dated one. We have to be diplomatic about this.

You have meetings scheduled anyway. You will be using the gurney so you can be outside on the patio. T'Lana Sighs, Can you set of a comm link so I can see my brother?

Jar'an said, Servants Please listen up. A new guest is arriving at the guest house. No body is to go there. Jar'don and security will attend to them. T'Lana is not I repeat not to be taken to the guest house.

T'Lana Started to cry, This is killing me not to be able to see me brother.

Please, Listen to your husband on this please. An Andorion, when cornered can be a dangerous lady. I will speak to Jar'don about the com link but for now Norvo and you need to rest. T'Lana sighs, Damn I guess I do not have a choice right now. But please how bad is Norvo?

Tapping my finger on the communicator I relented. Jar'don, Beam Norvo and his wife to the patio first. T'Lana is coming unhinged having to wait. Lets get her in the gurney but keep the baby in here.

Norvo and his wife shimmered into view. The tall Andorian was holding Norvo's hand. Where are we. sher said, You are at my home. She whirled around. I was shocked... Trina!... Who are you? you look and sound like some I used to know... Robert? Is that you?.. Yes I said. So it was you that rescued us. My ship yes. Hows Norvo? He is feeling much better. That medicine your doctors gave is working well.

T'Lana said, Honey I am sorry i just have to see my brother. It has been so long . This woman will have to try and understand. He is my brother and her mate.

Jar'an introduced T'Lana. This lady coming out on the gurney is My wife, T'Lana. Norvos Sister. She too is injured. She wanted to see him just for a minute. Trina backed away and allowed it. Looking at her I whispered Thank you. T'Lana Comes out on the gurney and sees Norvo laying there .Brother can you hear me? Its your sister T'lana

Honey be careful. Norvo is heavily medicated. I told you he needs to rest. And now so do you. You want to be your best for your first meeting with the Vulcans, dont you?

Jar'don, Please escort our guests to the guest house so they can rest and please see to it they are not disturbed. We will all gather later this evening for dinner. Looking at my watch. Now I do have to go.. Tapping my foot.. Right after I put my shoes on.

T'Lana Calls for the nurse to take me back inside the meeting are over with and i am tired and hurting a little .

A lot of issues got backed up. That made for a long and tiring day. Finally, I get things squared away at work. I call Jar'don. How is everything at home. Jar'don said I could use a break. The meetings are finally over. T'Lana is back inside in bed resting and hates being stuck there. Jar'el just seems to take everything in stride. Maybe he is trying to tell all of us something. Our guests stayed inside. The Doctor came by and checked on everybody. I hear you knew this woman with Norvo. Yes. It's a long story. Please stay around for dinner. Our guests should be attending and I might need some help.

T'Lana was restless in bed, Moans a little bit .Wakes up and calls out for Jar'an. The nurse tells me to calm down and relax. Dad are you here? Where is my baby and husband?

As the sun set. The temperature cooled. I called ahead to get things ready. The nurse told me about her moodiness. I told her to give T'Lana one hormone pill and she will settle and sleep. I asked and Jar'el is doing fine. So I close down my office and was about to leave when the admiral walks in.

Hello Admiral. I have been expecting you. The president has relayed your concerns to me about office policy As you seen today I am not referencing any personal stuff. Is their any further materials we need to go over?

Meanwhile at home T'Lana was loosing control. The Nurse was trying to give her the Hormone pill so she would calm down. But T'Lana was having nothing to do with it.

T'Lana yelled, I dont need that pill. I need to talk to my husband and father. Please. How is my son? She started to try to get out of bed to find her father and husband.

Back at Work:

The admiral fidgeted for a moment and placed a pad on my desk. He said yes. On that pad is all about the Trill laws. What is not on that pad is what part of the laws the high minister is going to use on you. Nor is any data concerning a discreet communication between the high minister and president of star fleet.

After this distasteful trial is over, I'm going to resign my commission and buy a place here on Trill. I know trust between you and me does not come easy. But I really do want to change. To be a better person. I picked up the pad and put in my pocket. I said, This pad was never here. We never talked about this. Oh and Admiral.. You just took a good first step towards that change and trust. Now lets go home. I hear my wife has been fussing again.

The transport didn't take long. Shimmering in I heard her yell. So being already tired and in a fowl mood myself. I exploded. What the hell is going on? T'Lana take that pill. Its not a sedative its to balance your hormones because your birthsack is gone. So stop fighting the nurse and take it.

T'Lana was pitching a fit. The nurse and nanny try to control me and I don't want them touching me. NO, I don't want that pill. There is something i need to say to my husband.

My temper all but gone. Gods, I am trying to keep everything together and have some semblance of normalcy here. What do you need to say?

T'Lana patted her hand on the bed beside her. Come here please.

I set my bag down beside the bed and slip off my shoes. Yes. What is it.

T'Lana said, I had a really bad vision honey I'm afraid. I saw you and father in a fight and I thought i was going to lose you. It has to be a nightmare.

I lean over and pull out a pad from the hospital. Clicking it on. Here read this. Look at the bottle. Now look down at the list of side effects of hormone imbalance. See their strange dreams. Scanning her with my medical tricorder. Now look at this.. See hormone imbalance. So take your pills and stop fussing. It's not good for you or the baby or me. I heard you at work in my mind fussing with the nurse and nanny like a school child. It gave me a headache.

T'Lana relented,Fine gave me that damn pill, I will not bother you any more. Sorry

Jar'an calmed a little and showed her the bottle again. Now according to the bottle. The pill will take effect in about an hour. Now I have to go take my pill, and do my meditation. So ,Just rest. Jar'don has gone to check up on Norvo. He is awake and doing better he is in a wheelchair while his burns heal. The Federation marked him off as dead. Now they want to talk to him too.

Ladies, I'm sorry about yelling. I apologies if I frightened you. Please go in the kitchen and take a break. Give us 5 minutes please.

I placed my hand on your leg. and said in your mind Wait till they are gone.. After the last one left I scanned the room. Sure enough Stuck under the table a listening device. I placed it on the table and covered it with a glass. Im sure that The president of Star Fleet and the High Minister are pushing this issue about your dad.

I flipped out my communicator. Jar'don please escort our guests to the patio and then come here please. Jar'don knocked on the door. Please come in. He came in and closed the door. I showed him the listening device. Jar'don you are chief of security. I want this entire house scanned and all these devices saved and put in a sealed container. Have all the servants and nanny's and nurses rechecked. Its not you they want its me. Well I'm going to let think they have me. Then, in front of all of Trill, I'm going to drop a bomb on them.

T'Lana, I'm sorry I had to yell at you like that but you were getting out of control and these bastards were hearing all of it.

T'Lana Says in your mind it was on purpose, I felt something was wrong in here. Honey I am sorry I did that want you here now. Because I believe someone we trust hid that bug in here.

Jar'don, T'Lana here said she had a vision that we were fighting over something. I'm not mad at you. Are you mad at me? No should I be? Of course not. See T'Lana it was just a dream. Now please get dress we have guests and they need to see our child.

T'Lana moans a little while getting dressed and gets up and struggles to get moving. Looking at our son and getting him dressed.

T'Lana I need you here at home. I don't know who to trust.

I called back in her mind. I can't be all the time. You know this. So follow the plan and we will hang them with their own treachery.

T'Lana said, Ok honey, Just protect our family please.

I said Always..

Jar'an R Tigan We came out to the cool and I gently carried T'Lana to sit down next to her brother. Norvo your sister is here. and she has a surprise for you two. By the way. T'Lana this is the woman I was referring to when I said I dated one once. This is Trina She nelt down to check on Norvo. I handed her a seat so she would be more comfortable.

The servants brought us drinks and fresh fruit. Norvo asked for a plate and Trina held it for him as he ate. Trina We also would like you to meet another member of our family. This is Jar'el. I placed Jar'el In T'Lana's arms. They both just stared at him in wonderment. Trina said he is so beautiful. Robert ,I thought your two species couldn't conceive a baby. Jar'an said, My family kept many secrets from me. I am a Trill / Human hybrid. My mixed DNA bridged the gap.

T'Lana Smiles, Its good to see you again little brother and it a pleasure to meet you Trina. Welcome to our family. Seeing Trina react like that. I knew something was eating at her. Trina can I scan you? It's a medical tricorder. She said ok. So I scanned her You two have been through allot. So I would like to see what I can do for you. With your permission, I would like to transmit these readings and a scan of Norvo, to a medical Doctor friend of mine. He is kind of a genius. no promises but I will ask him to look into bridging the gap for you two.

T'Lana Giggles ,something tells me she is with child, As I say in your mind. I sent back, I don't think so. The scan shows allot of scarring.

T'Lana asked, Are you sure honey? Oh well goes back to talking to my brother and his wife, and our other guests. I have missed you so much Norvo.

Trina was shocked at my generous offer. We have been trying. There were times I thought it worked but it didn't last. You have changed allot Robert. Sitting beside her. I also changed my name to, to Jar'an, my Trill name.

T'Lana asked, Trina would you like to hold our son?

Jar'an Introduced Jar'don. Also Trina, Norvo The man who rescued you is your father, Well, he carries his Dax. so ,he has all his memories. Are you settled in the guest house? anything you need ? Oh Yes, I almost forgot we have another guest waiting. I flip open my communicator.. Energize.

Shimmering into view came Jan'el. Trina this is Jan'el. T'Lana's other brother.

T'Lana Looks up. Wiping a tear from her eye. The family is all here now except mom.

Trina was very nervous. Well I don't know what to do? Just support his head and back like this.. Its magical he is so small but so beautiful and strong. Norvo and Jan'el embrace and gently embrace T'Lana. Well is everybody hungry? Trina handed Jar'el off to Jan'el so he could hold him. A servant brought him a seat. and another brought out Jar'el crib and a blanket to keep him warm.

T'Lana Smiled, looking at the family being here after all these years. We are together again. Thank you Jar'an. I am so happy.

In my shared mind link I ask you feeling better now T'Lana? Yes baby.

She said, I am so sorry I was a worried wart. You will have to take those pills the rest of your life.

Jan'el, I asked, How long do you have till you have to return to Bajor?

Jan'el said just a few days. Well stay here with us. The servants will set up a room for you. Two of the servants went back into the house and went to work. The meal was fantastic. The whole family get together turned out much better than I expected.

T'Lana Smiles the baby fell asleep and we all had a good time.

All the while I was formulating a plan for the despicable high minister.

Jar'don would you please assist Trina in getting Norvo back to the guest house and I will see to Jan'el after I get the rest of my family settled. T'Lana You need your rest. You said Ok. Your brothers looked at you and said you've changed. Well I have changed. I'm a mommy now. The servants wheeled her back in and took the baby and crib as well.

Both brothers looked at me. Jan'el said I never thought anybody could tame her.

Looking back at T'Lana as she was rolled back inside. I simply said with love all things are possible. Besides you should have seen her this afternoon. T'Lana called back at us, Good night, everyone. Looks at the nurse I would like to say i am sorry about getting upset.

Trina, Thank you. You have been real nice during all this. You really are part of the family now. I will get in touch with my friend tomorrow. Good night.

Totally unknown to everybody Trank was crawling through some jeffery's tubes, helping me set up my plan for That despicable High Minister and his friends at Star Fleet.
