Chapter 1

Beverly Crusher had been dreading this day for a long time. She knew that Anij was paying a visit to the ship after being made a Federation Ambassador. There was something about that woman that made her blood boil. Despite the fact that Jean-Luc had forgotten a date they scheduled to go spend time with that, that, thing. Beverly cooled off her temper and went to go great Anij since it was customary that she be there.

As she stepped into the transporter room, she nearly ran right into Picard who was standing dead straight in front of her.

"Jean-Luc, do you plan on moving anytime soon?" Beverly asked impatiently. Then she caught a glimpse around him. Standing next to Anij was a small boy. Couldn't have been older than 2.

Beverly's jaw dropped and instantly was filled with fury when she got a little closer look at the boy. Blonde hair, grey eyes, and that face. There was no question who the father of this child was. Beverly shot one of her nastiest glares at the Captain and stormed out without even saying a word to anyone.
