Chapter 35


"Commander Tucker. Personal Log. May 22, 2153.

It's my intention to recount the events that have lead t' T'Pol's leavin' Enterprise t'day. Hell, who am I kiddin'? This in't professional.

Anyway… a week ago I made the stupidest decision of my life… I kissed a Vulcan… while 'er parents were here! Damn, that was stupid…

Well, Hoshi saw me an' told the Cap'n. Then he told me what would happen if those damn Vulcans found out… an' he was right.

'Bout two days later, everyone on the ship knew an' T'Pol wasn't talkin' t' me. I don' know if it was 'cause of the kiss or the Vulcans.

But either way, she started talkin' t' me two days ago an' she said she was gonna tell her parents everything.

Yes, that's right… everything. 'bout the away mission, 'bout the pregnancy, 'bout me… 'bout everything.

I told 'er I'd go with 'er t' tell 'em… 'cause 'er side still hurts pretty bad an' she doesn't handle stress well whenever she's injured. But she told me that it 'wouldn't be necessary' an' told 'em 'erself.

Well… that was yesterday an ' they're already takin' 'er off the ship t'day.

They sure didn't take it well. They told the Cap'n that she was disgracing' Vulcan AND the High Command. An' Starfleet old me that I'm disgracing' them!

At least the Cap'n convinced 'em t' let me stay here… T'Pol wasn't so lucky.

Those damn Vulcans decided that humans were affectin' 'er in a bad way… especially me… an' decided t' cart 'er back t' Vulcan 'til they decide that she won't be 'negatively affected' by 'illogical humans' anymore.

Who knows how the hell long that'll be… Hell, knowin' Vulcans, I'll prob'ly never see 'er again! I don' know what I'd do if that happened.

I mean, I keep tellin' myself that this was the worse decision I've ever made… but why don' I regret it?

An' I don' know if it was just me… but I coulda sworn she was kissin' me back…

None of this makes any sense…

Why d' they have t' take 'er away, Damnit!

…They say the Vulcans can figure out who the father is… ya know, at first I woulda given anything t' find out that the Cap'n was the father… an' not me. But now, I don' know… maybe if I was the father, they'd let me see T'Pol again… I jus' don' know…

Anyway, T'Pol's leavin' t'day… I don' know if I'm gonna say goodbye… It'd be a bit weird…

Well, I've got two hours t' decide…

End log."
