Chapter 10
Leaving the past behind
Bella's POV
"Bella to Counsellor Anna, are you available?" I said over the com-badge
"Of course, bella, come by my quarters in five minutes"
I blurred through the ship, the ship's counsellor was there waiting. "I wanted to thank you for your advice about letting go of Edward and I took your advice last night."
"So having some fun with data worked?" Anna asked the question with a quirked eyebrow. If I had still been human, my face would have been beet red by now. I bit my lip and smiled
"Let's just say I made the most of our time on the Holodeck and we danced...a lot" Anna's eyebrows almost hit the ceiling. "Well...that's great, it sounds like you have finally put the blame firmly where it belongs." I sat down on the sofa "I was thinking about joining your yoga class and I need to know the times of the class. While I am on Sabbatical I don't want to spend it finding things to do." Anna agreed wholeheartedly "What about the art classes as well as yoga?"
"I think we need to move into more physical therapeutic ways of your sessions with me, so I think that is a really good idea."
"Yeah, it is." I nodded and smiled "Any hints of Worf asking for your daughters hand in marriage?" I shook my head "No, not yet, but I do have this feeling that it won't be long"
"I never saw anything like those two, Data said that it is described as soul-bonding or imprinting" I nodded my head "When I spent time with Jacob, he explained it so beautifully that I knew what had happened for Worf and Renesmee was the same thing as imprinting. Klingons are surprisingly very romantic creatures. It was like seeing ropes pulling them together and binding them irrevocably." The Counsellor sighed "Awww, true love finds a way"
"Yes it does, I threatened Worf heavily though, I feel like I was too hard on him at first"
The Counsellor laughed "I think that's what most parents do although it was unnecessary, Klingons live and die by the code of honour and they never do anything to dishonour their families or their mates." I smiled "Worf is very honourable and never undignified"
"If anything you can be sure that Worf will treat your daughter like a queen, I love seeing those two together. They are meant to be" I nodded and the counsellor gave me the times of the sessions for the yoga classes and the life art classes.
I decided to take my daughter to lunch in ten-forward and met her in the sickbay office.
"Mom, I was just coming to find you" I hugged her and kissed her cheek "Well, now you don't have to, would you like some lunch in ten-forward?" I asked her as I kept hold of her hand.
"Sure, I just have to get showered and changed out of these clothes." I nodded and waited in her office. I decided to tell Data that we would meet him in Ten-forward for lunch together as a family. "Yes darling, of course I will meet you there. I love you"
"I love you too"
We sat in Ten-Forward discussing our day and Renesmee became quiet "What's wrong, Re"
"Mom, Dad, Worf asked for my hand in marriage yesterday, in fact he was so happy he tried to invoke the mating vow when I said yes. i became overwhelmed and ran out crying" Data and I grabbed her hand "We gathered that's why you were not yourself yesterday evening"
"You don't have to worry, baby girl, Worf is just getting romantic with you" Renesmee's eyes shined with unshed tears. "I love him so much Dad, I hate thinking I might have hurt his feelings by running out like that" Data drew our distraught daughter into his arms. I spotted Worf through my peripheral vision. He looked distressed. He pulled our daughter into his arms and I watched fascinated as a tear made it's way down his cheek.
"Renesmee, love" Worf whimpered "I had no wish to overwhelm you earlier, I was so happy you had accepted my proposal that I became excited." Renesmee raised her eyes to smile at Worf "I too am happy Worf, you are my love and my life"
