Family Blessings

T'lana Was sitting by the window, looking out into the ocean waves and drinking coffee. It is so beautiful out there this morning. Kira is sitting next to me and is at peace.

I chime in my mind link to T'Lana, Sending T'Rel to see if he can help. Suspect rape took place in her shower At DS9. That's why she reacted and had a seizure. Had nurse adjust her med. Probably why she is more peaceful now. Odo traveling at high warp from DS9. Should arrive soon. Admiral Cartright may be with him.

Her mind is focused on a memory tied to the ocean. It was the first time I used the link on her. It's like a child learning to swim, being afraid to swim and holding on to the edge of the pool.

I will be home as soon as I can. I don't know how she will react when she sees Odo.

Message to Bajor High Counsel. From High Minister Jar'an of Trill. Your officer Kira of DS9 was viciously attacked and raped by a Federation officer. Redeployment back to DS9 not possible. Request new orders transferring Commander Kira to Trill as Bajoran Ambassador. Also request open trade talks as Trade with Federation in jeopardy do to recent events. End

T'Lana smiles, I feel funny. Giggles I get nervous. Are you going into labor? T'Lana said, Don't think so. Not time. mmmm you feel so good. Ouch someone is kicking. Rubbing your belly, I said, Easy little one It's not time yet.

T'lana said, mmmmm baby they both are kicking laughs. They are linking into our minds. Sorry mommy daddy giggles, giggles

Hello Ezri and Yanas. You need to calm down. Mommy is counting on you. Mommy tell them, Yes please, mommy and daddy are having alone time

The girls feel you. Daddy warm. Make mommy warm.

We both giggle we want play. The girls say, We come see brother.

Jar'el chimes in EEWWWWWW Girls. I just laughed..

T"lana was laughing. I ease myself out. Ezri says daddy don't go. Laughing harder, I said, That's our daughter. We were both laughing hard.

I chimed in to the girls, Just like your mother aren't you Ezri.

Giggling, she said, yes daddy. I lay my head on your belly. Don't worry girls. I'm right here. Humming low, vibrating your belly.

Mmmmmmm The girls say, We like daddy humming Daddy rubs belly to calm them. I tell them, Girls go back to sleep. I kiss your belly. Daddy loves you...HHHMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. The girls chime in, Boys ewwwwww giggles.

Now Girls.. Be nice..You can mess with his head later. They start giggling. I tell them, Now girls you will be here soon.

My communicator chirped. As I reached for the damned thing I said you know one day I'm going to throw this thing in the ocean.

T'Lana laughs. Opening it up. Oh two messages. I accessed the first message, Holy shit, Polly is in the hospital in labor! And Odo has arrived. T'Lana said, damn. Omg baby ouch girls stop. I ask, Where is Kira?

The girls chime in, Not us mommy. I chime in, what? Tlans said, OUCH!, sharp pain like before. I look around, Where is Kira? Are you feeling her? I grab my medical scanner. I looked for Kira in the bathroom.

I call out loud, Kira where are you? She answered, On the Patio. Good Kira. Please stay there. I go back to T'Lana, Are you feeling Polly?

T'Lana said, mmmmm not sure. The girls say, Daddy it not us.

Girls link up with mommy double her power. T'Lana stretch out and tell me where. T'Lana, Screams Polly her baby is coming.

Delink from her..Now! Her pain will drive you into early labor.

I know she is scared. This is her next step. Love her enough to let her go. She screams girls help mommy. Reach out with my mind, Focus on me! Focus on my link.

T'Lana, Screams looking at you. Mmmmmmm It's stopping, baby help me. I push deeper into her mind, Feel me...Feel my warmth... Feel my streingth... Feel my love... mmmmm, holding you tight. Polly is fading

Mmmm, Better now. Good I said the down side of our link. We feel everything.

T'Lana said, yes. Omg, that was intense. At first I thought it was I.

Well, next week it's your turn. Still want to try to do this natural? Or do you want a c-section. T'Lana said, Natural unless doc says different.

The drugs will not affect the babies honey. I almost lost you last time.

T'Lana asked, What do you think? I said, I really think c-section is the safest way.

T'Lana said, Ok baby, you think its best. You stay here I am going out on the patio and talk to Kira. T'Lana said, ok baby. I will be right back. Here I will leave the doors open so you can hear. She said, mmmmm, ok baby.

Walking out on the patio. Hi Kira, She said, I was just sitting out here sipping tea and stareing at the stars? What was that entire yelling going on in there. Well T'Lana forgot to delink from Polly and Polly is at the hospital giving birth. So T'Lana got to feel the pain. That's the downside of the link. So when you link with another or me. Please remember to delink from them before you walk away. Well, I have some surprises for you. Some friends have come for a visit.

They began to shimmer in. Look here they come. It's Cartright and Odo. The second Kira saw Odo she leaped up and ran to him hugging him tightly. She said, Oh Gods Odo, I missed you. Admiral Cartright walked down to where I was and shook my hand.

T'Lana chimed in, mmmmm, Nice to hear all that she says in a link. The Admiral chimed back. It's good to hear you too. Shocked well maybe we can teach an old dog new tricks. Lets go inside and give them some alone time.

T'Lana chimed in with a frightened voice, Honey I need you. The girls chimed in, Daddy we kicked mommy to hard we sorry.

My mind exploded, WHAT! The girls chimed back, Daddy mommy need u. I look at the admiral, Oh shit, not again. I run i.n Are you ok honey?

T'Lana said, No, omg, I am in pain, the girls kicked me hard.

Admiral, please stay here with Kira and Odo. I scooped T'Lana up and hit my auto transport, mmmmm, baby it's not time. We arrived at the hospital and the alarms went off. I don't think we have a choice. I layed you on the gurney. The doctors took us inside the medical bay and gave you a shot.

I held your hand. I said, Doctor the babies are in distress.

The doctor completed his scans. Distress hell she is in full labor we have to do a c-section now. I said do it doctor. Help her please. The doctor was ready for me. He turned and gave me a shot. I got dizzy and passed out. Cartyright, Kira and Odo snickered and said good move doctor.

T'lana moaned, The babies are fine, they have another week. The Doctor saw to it that I was layed out on a gurney. And turned back to T'Lana. Yes the babies are fine but you are not. There is a tare in the birth sack. It's a small one but their right where I have to cut anyway so relax. He gives her a shot. When you wake it will be all over.

T'Lana said, What do you mean? One of the nurses said, The doctor has to knock you out to cut out the babies. T'Lana said, No not time. I struggled to tell her. The drugs are strong. Getting real fuzzy.

I said, early yes but not too early you are bleeding into the birth sack. If the babies start kicking again you could die. T'Lana screamed, NO PLEASE ITS NOT TIME. Omg starts to cry and scream. The doctor gave you another shot.

T'lana starts to fight and push people away from me. Kira is by your side holding your hand saying, It's all right honey.

T'lana was in full panic. NOOOOOOOOOOOO. MY BABIES NOT AGAIN PLEASE NOOOO. I struggle to speak, slurring words, The more you struggle the more they kick, the more you bleed.

She screamed, JAR'AN PLEASE. IT'S NOT TIME SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

I push back the overcoming effects of the sedative and scramble to my feet . I reach out. T'Lana.. I am here stop panicing. The girls are fine. Please feel my love. Getting tired. STOP FIGHTING!

The next sound I heard was a baby crying. Oh wow she is beautiful honey. The Doctor said, Jar'an, T'lana is asleep now and one of your girls is here. Then a small slap and the other baby started crying. Oh wow they both already have they're spots.

Doctor tells you the children are very healthy. I started loosing my balance. Cartright caught me and picked me up and put me back on the gurney. The doctor added, But T'lana can not have any more children This really has taken to much out of her little body. I am sorry.

I grabbed her hand. Hold on honey the doctor Is almost finished. The Doctor said, you guys were blessed, but sorry to say that this is going to be hard. You have 3 wonderful children.

My mind is so fuzzy. Kira is laughing. Odo is amazed. Through the drug induced haze I struggle to say what? Doctor tells you that T'lana is in a coma and will be ok. We had to put her in a coma to calm her down.

Drunk with drugs, I ask, You mean I have three babies?

The doctor laughes. No son. Just your son and 2 daughters. Is T'Lana going to be fine?

The doctor says, she will be, wait, her monitor alarm goes off. Get everyone out of here and take care of the girls. T'lana is in distress.

Omg, her symbiot is in trouble. It is going to be ok we got him. dax has calm down. It was the children and the meds.

Don't remove him. Will kill host. It was our fault we forgot about the dax symbent. My world went black The last thing I saw was Kira holding one of the babies.

Doctor comes back and shakes me back awake. And tells you that T'lana has come out of her Coma. The doctor gives me another shot to counter act the sedative. It took me a minute to shake the cobwebs out.

The nurses rolled our beds together and I held T'Lana's hand. I told her I love you.

She is too tired to speak. Uses the link, I love you in a mind link, I am sorry. I link with her and said, And you wanted a normal life. T'lana started crying in my head our children are they ok? OK? They are beautiful. Kira walked up with one. See? She was the first born. Laughing. That would be Ezri..

Look honey they both have their spots already. T'Lana was fading, she said, yay, I am sorry I fought the doctor. Where is Jar'don? He should know about his daughters. He is a grand daddy now. Kira started laughing. He is in the other medical bay with lilianna. The poor man is in shock. She had her baby too.

Chuckeling, honey, that's a nurse. The doctor is busy making your daddy a daddy again. A really drugged T'Lana said, awwww I can't see what happened. Cant feel my body. It took allot out of you honey. You need rest now.

In coherantly, T'lana said, I am afraid. I love jellybeans. Trying to think, Omg did i say that? I said, Its alright, Just sleep now. Laughing, I said that's ok honey I like those Candy Smarties.

T'lana asked, Our daughters. Are they ok? I said, Yes. I heard the doctor say no more children. He doesn't think your body can take it anymore.

T'Lana said, We have three. And they are beautiful. My dax, is she ok?

Your dax is tired and sleeping just as you should be.

T'lana said, I am sorry.
