Rating: starting with PG

Pairing: Archer and T'Pol

Disclaimer: Don't own it.. at least not yet . but you never know , but I wish I did. This is for everybody who is fed up as much as I am, with Enterprise writers, for not putting Archer and T'Pol "quicker" together. This is my first story, so depends on you people, if I will continue with it.

1.00am...

"Take two of this, every evening before going to bed Captain , and please, go to bed, at least before 2am." said Dr. Phlox , with his incredibly "over optimistic" smile.

"Thanks Doc, I will try , it just..I can't stop having nightmares, about that.damn planet." said Captain.

"I thought, your nightmares stopped long time ago, Captain!? Captain, why haven't you told me about this after few weeks!?" said Dr. Phlox, with a little bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Ahhh.please Doc, I just want to go back to my quarters and try to catch up with some reports." said Captain.

"That can wait, and if I don't get an answer soon, I shell wake up Sub- Commander T'Pol , and tell her , that you are not fit for duty for the next 24 hours." said Dr.Phlox.

"Doc, I'm sorry I just didn't think it's that important, you have to understand, I have lots on my mind and..I .haven't slept much lately , not to mention , that I have been shot, two days ago by my own kind" said Captain in exhaustion.

"Hmm.in a normal circumstances, I would believe you Captain , but nobody else, seems to have nightmares about that planet , except you. I have spoken to Ensign Sato and Lieutenant Reed, and they seem fine. " said Phlox.

"What about T'Pol .did she complained about .any lack of sleep" asked Captain curiously.

"Aaaa, now Captain..that would be telling .and I can't talk about my patience's private details , but , if it would make you any happier , T'Pol and Commander Tucker , are helping each other , so there is no worry ..at least not in that area" said Phlox.

"What do you mean by that?..Trip is helping T'Pol? .Doc!?..what are you talking about!?" asked Captain.

"Nowww Captain, you can't tell me you haven't heard about silly rumours, at least on Enterprise it's easy to start one" said Dr. Phlox with a smile.

"No.I haven't , so could you ,please, tell me , what's going on!" said Captain.

"Oh..well, if you insist. Few weeks ago just after entering "Expanse" I have kindly asked T'Pol , if she would help Commander Tucker, with his nightmares".

"And how , is SHE, able to help him in that area" asked captain somehow confused.

"Well.I know you are familiar with a fact that Vulcans meditate" said Phlox slowly.

"Yess" said Archer impatiently.

"Vulcans are also able to perform. certain type of inner healing , and the nearest example I can think off , to you humans.is...let me see...a...Chinese acupuncture. "said Phlox.

"What.. what do you mean?! Like a pressure points.. yoga" asked Archer with more tension in his voice.

"That's it ! Yoga ! Very good Captain. Well, as you know , Commander Tucker hasn't been well ,since the death of sister , so T'Pol is helping him, to... sleep better , without any nightmares "said Phlox.

"Oh...I didn't know, .mmm.well.I guess it's very nice of T'Pol, to be helping Trip, I don't see anything unusual about it..hold on Phlox!.you said something about rumours, what rumours? said Archer.

Oh.it's nothing really, but as you asked, pressure points that T'Pol is using are, somehow...how shell we say.intimate..and Commander Tucker and Sub-Commander T'Pol , are finally talking to each other in a civilized way, so naturally , crew is assuming, that , they are more than just a friends, but like I said before, I wouldn't concern my self with rumours...at least not yet Captain"said Phlox. "I'm not concerned, Dr Phlox. What Sub-Commander T'Pol and Commander Tucker are doing in there own time is none of mine business" said Archer and started to walk towards the exit.

"Captain..you have to forgive me , but I think you are not ... .."said Phlox , but before he could finish his sentence , he got cut off by Captain.

"Dr.Phlox why don't you mine your own business!" said captain and walked out of the surgery.

"Hmmm, this is worst than I thought..If he doesn't open up soon , he's going to hurt him self , and somebody else in the process. I think I will need to speak to him again tomorrow, but then again, maybe I should leave him for few days, to see how long will it take him , to start questioning Commander Tucker..but for know I better go and feed my lovely little bat , he must be starving".

3.00am

"Nnnnnoooooooooooooooo...." Jonathan suddenly got up, as it seem like, he was awakened by the sound of it's own voice. His heart was racing ,faster and faster , his hands were shaking, he looked like a person who have just seen death. Unable to calm down , he went for medicine cabinet , hoping to find something that would ease headache , he was having. Porthos could sense his master inner disturbance, so he started to bark, and wiggle with his little tale , in a hope that master will notice him. "Stop that ! Last thing I need is for you to give me more headache with your barking" yelled Jonathan. Porthos suddenly, jumps up on a bed and putts his little front paws in high up position , it's like, he has decided to start walking like a human , or God forbid , beg for more cheese. Jonathan noticed his funny position, and started to laugh. "Come here boy. I'm sorry for yelling at you, it would seem, that's the only thing I am good at doing at the moment. But , I tell you what , why don't you and me take a little walk around the ship , I think it will do us both good" Porthos could sense his masters change of behaviour, and jumps of the bed and walks to the front door. "Well, I can see , you are more than ready, so I better make a move on , but you have to promise me , you will not make too much noise , because , if Dr.Phlox sees me awake at this time of the night , we will be in trouble " said Jonathan. After few minutes Jonathan and Porthos , were taking walk around the ship ,when behind the corner , they almost clashed into Sub-Commander T'Pol.

"Uppps.I'm sorry T'Pol , I haven't seen you there." said Captain

"No need to apologise Captain , it would seem you were following Porthos , rather than Porthos you" said T'Pol.

"Hmm.it would seem so, but, as you are so good with my dog , would you like to join "him" for a walk "said Captain with a hint of humour.

"No thank you Captain, I'm late as it is , but I would be happy to take , some of your "night walks scheduler" in a few days." said T'Pol

"Thank you, just out of interest, what sort scheduler can you possibly have at this time of the night?" asks Captain.

"I could ask you the same question Captain, " said T'Pol.

"ohh...I didn't mean to..well.I was.just .."

"Curios?" said T'Pol.

"Well..yes.nothing wrong with that..I'm just a human T'Pol" said Captain with a laugh.

"Exactly Captain , and because of your human "qualities" , I have to "restrain" my self from telling you , about my activities" said T'Pol and started to walk towards Commanders Tucker quarters.

"Does your "activities" include Commander Tucker by any chance" Jesus I can't believe I just said that aloud.. I'm such an idiot.
