"What will you name her?" the doctor asked while nuzzling the newborn.
Kathryn smiled weakly.
"I haven't the slightest idea."
"Nine months and you haven't even thought about a name?"
"Doctor, may I remind you that you haven't exactly majored in naming, wouldn't you agree?" The doctor turned red with embarrassment, she was right he hadn't even named him self after ten years of thinking.
"Doctor, I do believe you're red with embarrassment."
The doctor quickly tried to change the subject.
"Well, take your time you still have a few hours left before everyone gets here. But I suggest that you have an idea by then."
The doctor sighed. He slowly placed the baby in the incubator to his left
"Sleep well Kathryn, sleep well."
She smiled as her weighed down eyes closed them selves and put her to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kathryn's eyes opened and searched the room. She struggled to compose her self and find out were she was. She looked to her left and everything sunk in. She slowly put her feet down making sue that she wouldn't lose her balance. She gradually made her way across the room to the incubator. She stared in to the baby's eyes. They were big and dark brown. She couldn't help but smile at the infant.
"What shall I call you?"
She tickled the newborn's stomach
The baby giggled and reached for her face. She sighed deeply.
"I guess were both clueless."
Kathryn picked up the baby and softly kissed her forehead.
Kathryn looked around the room. Beside the bio bed was a PADD titled "Baby Names.
"He must of left it here earlier when I was sleeping" she mumbled to her self.
She looked through the names. None appealed to her.
"This is impossible." She said irritated.
There was a knock at the door. Kathryn didn't look up from the PADD.
"Come in" she said softly
The tall figure walked up to her bio-bed. She discreetly glanced at the shadow to figure out who it was. The figure was one of a typical Vulcan male, but he wasn't an ordinary one. He had feelings just like other humans and expressed them often. No Kathryn's husband was no ordinary Vulcan. Kathryn looked up and smiled. The tall figure bent to the height of the bio-bed and kissed her on the cheek. His strong arms picked up the child. Kathryn felt at ease as the weight of the infant was lifted from her arms. The man looked at her.
"Who's this we have here?"
"I don't know, I haven't named her yet."
"It's no big deal, she'll have one soon enough." The man stroked the infant's head.
"You'll make Tuvock proud, he won't have much trouble turning you into a graceful Vulcan as he did me." Kathryn's head snapped around.
"Sorrow, say that again."
"My father won't have a hard time turning her in to a true Vulcan."
"No Sorrow, repeat the whole sentence"
"He won't have much trouble turning you into a graceful Vulcan as he did me."
"I have one"
"Have what Kathryn."
"I have a name, I've chosen a name."
"What?"
"Grace Sorrow Janeway."
He smiled
"I like that name, Grace Sorrow Janeway."
The couple smiled at each other and gazed at their new addition.
"I haven't the slightest idea."
"Nine months and you haven't even thought about a name?"
