Author's notes: I left you all really stressed last chapter because of the
cliffhanger, that's why I'm adding a smaller chapter so you people aren't
too crazy waiting.
Disclaimer: as you might have guessed I don't own any of these characters but as diane klapper always says I'm only doing the borrowing.
"Tom, you're not married, are you?" the captain had the worry on her face return, almost voluntarily.
" No, NO of coarse not! She just," he let out a large sigh, "It's complicated."
"Yes, yes, oh so complicated. Sign it." Constance's frank tone told the audience that she was serious.
"Why should I? Shouldn't Owen have done it, or you could have gotten Katie." The croud because even more confused because of the reference to his father.
"They wouldn't sign it and your father still isn't talking to me, geese, ever since we, I mean, I got kicked out of Starfleet. That man can hold a grudge, let me tell you that."
"You don't have to tell me that, again." Tom looked as if he would explode.
" I don't understand," the captain chimed in, " How could the Admiral sign your divorce papers, and how could you get divorced if you weren't even married?"
Tom opened his mouth to speak, but Goodheart covered it.
"I'll field this one, it's just a term we've used since, I dunno, since we were three." Goodheart giggled at the memory, "I just neede to get away from him, the document says, and I quote 'we, Tomas Eugine Paris and Katie Jane Sandrine will always, always be within 1 lightyear of each other. Only a member of the Paris family may break this vow, through generations to come.' End quote." Goodheart smiled.
Ok some questions answered and some are created, I'll get to writing but I'm going to try to write a longer chapter and it will take more time so please be patient, (chapter one is being redone for grammar and spacing)
