Disclaimer: Yea I own Star Trek. No really I do. My names Paramount! Okay I am SOOO kidding with ya'll. I don't own the characters; they belong to Star Trek and Paramount!! I love making my own lil stories about them. Yea I know the story's suck but whatever. They keep me amused. After I have a lil fun with all the characters (specifically Trip), I'll give 'em back, k?
Author's Note: This is my first Star Trek fan fiction, not fan fictions in general. I wrote General Hospital fan fictions for a few years but I want to do Star Trek now. Hey that's where I get my name Admiral Carly Corinthos…as in thee Carly Corinthos portrayed by Tamara Braun. Admiral because it reminds me of Q and how he got to be any rank he wished.
Go easy on me. I might write the characters to their norms. I'm getting the hang of this. Thanks for not blasting me.
Chapter One - Engineering
Trip was beyond frustrated with his best friend. He was to the point of slugging him. Jon just didn't get it. "Look, Jon, explain to me again why would you let them take her?"
Archer sighed; it wasn't getting through to him. "Trip, when you have four Vulcan ships up your ass, you have to weigh the options! Either they beam T'Pol off Enterprise, then blow us all to hell or take her without blowing us all to hell!" Archer paused and he gave his friend a supportive look, "I sympathize with you; I want her back too but..."
Trip cut in as he clenched and unclenched his fists, "You don't get it cap'n. T'Pol is not JUST the science officer of Enterprise, or even JUST my girl friend. She's the MOTHER of my CHILD. She's my bloody HEART, Jon!" Not only was Trip steaming with anger, but he was picking up Malcolm's British vocabulary.
"...Child…T'Pol's pregnant…" Archer wanted to smile; he wanted to hug his best friend. Trip was going to be father; hell, he was going to be an uncle. Porthos would love to have a little baby around to play with. He pushed his happiness aside and straightened out, "Trip, I swear to you we will bring T'Pol back, and when we do we will throw you the biggest baby shower space has ever seen." The last part, he said trying to calm Trip down. They were going to get T'Pol back, he was sure of it; he had to have Trip calm enough not to do anything crazy.
It was too late. Trip hadn't heard a word Archer said. From the moment he told him he was going be a father he started to picture the rest of his life, childless, no T'Pol and no family. It was all Jon's fault in his mind; he let those damn Vulcans take her from him. He could feel she was frightened, although his T'Pol would never admit it. What if she went willingly because the thought of being the mother of a half human child disgusted her she had begged them to take her? Maybe she was scared he would find her and they would raise the child together. He was at the brink of destruction, and there was nothing left for him. He spun around so fast it caught Archer by surprise, and his fist made contact with Archer face. The force caused the captain to fly backwards off the top level of engineering and smash onto the floor.
One of the engineering crew saw this and ran to call Phlox. Blood began to trickle down Archer's lip.
Please R/R. Thanks.
