Home Sweet Home
The following story line is mine. Don't try to copy it cause I'll get mad
In a like vein, Star Trek: Voyager and all characters are the sole property of someone other than me.
Upon seeing that Deneb would not be able to make it on her own, Chakotay swiftly gathered her up and carried her to the bio bed. (Easier thought of then done. She was considerably heavier than she had been five months ago)
"What is going on here?" the Doctor suddenly exclaimed, "These contractions are too close together! When did you go into labor?"
"Oh shut up!" Deneb yelled back at him, "Unless you're going to say something to take away the damn pain!"
"I'm afraid it is too late for that" the Doctor replied, "The first child is already cresting" Deneb suddenly let out a very high pitched shriek. B'Elanna was surprised the glass in the room didn't shatter.
"Kes, get ready" The Doctor ordered as he positioned himself to catch the child. Suddenly, however, Deneb kicked him.
"Get away from me you holographic vampire doctor!" she shouted loudly, and angrily, "I don't want you!"
"Well I'm afraid you have no choice" the Doctor responded evenly. He was apparently programmed to deal with overly emotional women in labor.
"Like hell I don't! BONES!" Deneb shouted.
"What the hell is going on here?" a strange male voice suddenly asked. Everybody who could turned around to see a middle aged man in an old fashioned blue uniform standing behind them. Only the Doctor and Chakotay recognized him as who he was. Or, rather, who he was supposed to be.
"Who are you?" B'Elanna demanded.
"Dr. Leonard McCoy, who're you?" he asked noisily and pushed past her to Deneb's side, "Why didn't you call for me earlier?" He demanded of her. She just growled.
"Huh. Waited too long to come down here did you? Had to get help, that's why they brought you here instead of to my Sickbay. Well, it's your own fault now, Deneb Kirk. Now you're children will have an audience at their birth" He turned around and stared at the other holographic Doctor.
"Well, don't just stand there, man! You're a doctor, not an idiot, help out a bit!" And then McCoy shoved the Doctor aside and took up his position.
"Deneb, you've got to push. One of 'em's comin out already" he said, "Someone get her some water" Chakotay complied.
"Better be Damian or Jim'll have a fit" McCoy was muttering to himself.
"Here Deneb. Now, just relax a little. Everything's going to be all right" Chakotay told her soothingly, "Now, just push" Deneb took the glass of water from him and dumped it over his head. Then she screamed. Chakotay backed up, standing next to the door where the Doctor was looking annoyed at having been pushed out of the way.
An infant's cry shot through the air.
"Well, he's got Jim's lungs on him" McCoy commented as Deneb collapsed back into the bio bed. Kes came and took the squalling infant to clean him up while McCoy delivered the second child.
"There now, only one more to go" Chakotay said from his, supposedly, safe spot. Deneb chucked the water glass at him. He ducked, barely, and it shattered against the door.
"MEN! You're all pigs! Only one more to go! I'd like to see you lay in bed while your abdomen muscles push a 7 pound human being through your pelvis!" she shouted at him with another painful scream as another contraction hit.
"Deneb Kirk, don't throw things on a ship!" McCoy straightened up for a second so his patient could see the frown on his face, "You're liable to break something" It seemed then that he noticed B'Elanna.
"Make yourself useful woman, go hold her hand" he ordered her. B'Elanna felt strangely compelled to follow out his orders immediately, as if he were a domineering old grandfather or something. She gave Deneb her unhurt hand, making another mental note to see Kes immediately after all the drama had faded.
"All right, now, Neb, here comes the other one" McCoy warned just before another contraction hit. Deneb screamed and squeezed B'Elanna's hand (who was truly beginning to be amazed at how strong the woman really was) and then there was a third scream joining that of the mother and first born.
"A healthy baby girl" McCoy declared. Kes came and deposited the boy in his hands while taking the girl to be cleaned a bit. Deneb was breathing hard, unable to speak. Her hair had matted to her wet forehead and she was two shades paler than usual.
"Perhaps we should let the patient rest for a while before giving her the child" the Doctor piped up when McCoy made a move for Deneb.
"Bones, you bring that child to me this instant" Deneb managed between her wheezing.
"I've learned to never say no to a Kirk" McCoy told the Doctor and handed over the new born. Deneb was half sitting and she looked down at the child you had finally quieted at the sight of his mother. She smiled tenderly at him, but B'Elanna noted there were no tears in her eyes. She had heard that human women get all teary after giving birth, a sentimentality that B'Elanna found useless. Her opinion of Deneb went up another notch.
"Hello, young Damian" the new mother whispered and she looked up at her holographic friend, "He kind of looks like Jim, don't you think?"
"Mmm. Poor kid" McCoy agreed.
"Deneb" Kes said gently. She was holding the girl. McCoy took the boy while Deneb took the girl.
"And this is Damia" she said, "She looks more like me, I think"
"Then she got all the luck" McCoy smiled. Deneb smiled back.
"I'm glad you got to keep your promise, Bones"
"So am I. Who knows what this blundering idiot might've done?" He jerked his head towards the other doctor, who got all flustered but didn't say anything. Nobody was paying attention to him, however. What is it about a new mother that captures all attention?
