Precious Treasure
"So, I hear this is the big day."
"It's not really," I leaned against the rail beside B'elanna, "it's just we get to see her for the first time."
"You should be excited."
"I am, I mean, she is my daughter."
"Have you picked a name yet?"
"T'Lal."
"Oh, that's pretty."
"Named after one of Vorik's cousins. Speaking of which, where is he? We're due in Sickbay, and I can't go without him."
"You and T'Lal wait right here, I'll go find him. I think he's on the second floor."
"I don't see why I have to be pulled away from my job."
"Because it's the first time we'll see our daughter."
"Couldn't we have waited until after my shift?"
I rolled my eyes, waiting quietly until the holographic image enhancers could project the image of our daughter. I felt happiness swell inside when I first saw T'Lal. "Hello my little treasure," I whispered softly, "it's me...your Mama."
