~*~Disclaimer=me no own-cept maybe Denny.~*~Much encouraged by all your
reviews! Big hugs for all! lol~*~
Adrienne stared at the ceiling. She was thinking. She had far too much time to think, her head was spinning just thinking about all the mess she would be causing.
*If I stay here I might not get born in which case time will change so I don't come back in which case I will get born so I will come back and it's all very confusing!
One thing that won't change is that no matter what I say I can't change the fact that on the 1st November 2169 I will be pulled through time and end up here.
This sucks.
I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't!
This is a no win situation.
Plus I'll never lead a normal life. Even if they do decide to keep me. I wonder how time has changed already, maybe if I ever get back I'll find I've got ten brothers and ten sisters. That is a disturbing thought. What also is a disturbing thought is that in the next year or so my parents will conceive me.
When I was little I always thought that travelling through time would be cool, but it's not you can't do anything because you might upset the natural order and if you do do anything it might have dire consequences.
I've really talked to that many members of the crew yet, just Doctor Phlox, Uncle Trip, Admiral Archer and Dad. Maybe the rest of my life is going to be spent in seclusion in case I accidentally tell someone what their future will be.
In the land of royally screwed I am royally screwed.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback (when she's three ish)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're gonna be alright munchkin," her mother told her. "Just keep quiet."
"What's wrong mummy?" Denny asked fearfully.
She heard approaching footsteps and her mother put her hand round her mouth and held her close barely making a sound.
"Have they all been accounted for?"
"No, we're missing some."
"Find them-quickly!"
"Yes sir." Her mother relaxed her hand slightly as she heard them walk away.
"We've got to keep moving," she told her daughter.
At a snails pace they moved through the ship. They stopped for a moment hearing voices, suddenly the panel beside them was flung open and strong arms reached in to grab them.
They struggled but it was no use, they were taken to the bridge and flung down on the ground.
Denny saw her dad laying motionless a few feet away.
She scampered to his side.
"Daddy," she cried. "Mummy!"
Her mother pulled her close. Denny saw the cold hard metal pistol being pointed at her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~normal~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Denny shuddered at the memory. When she'd looked down the barrel of that pistol hadn't known what was happening, it was only by sheer good luck that they'd been saved by another star fleet ship in the vicinity.
Her thoughts began to dwell on her mother, she hadn't seen her yet. She had an inkling that her father could see the resemblance between her and her mother but couldn't quite put a name to a face.
In a way she was happy that she hadn't seen her mother but in another she missed her family and her friends-true she was surrounded by most of the adults in her life, only they didn't know her. Didn't know the things she knew, didn't remember the things she remembered...........like Trips funeral for one.
She sat up and shook her head to try and clear it.

"I've found her," said the man triumphantly.
"Well let's go get her," said Malcolm pointedly.
"I will soon," he told him.
"I'm coming too," said Malcolm, glaring at him.
"Excuse me? Do you have any idea what repercussions there could be if you see yourself?" asked the man in disbelief.
"You lost her-I'm gonna find her, she's my daughter and I don't trust you as far as I can throw ya!" Malcolm exclaimed furiously. "You haven't even explained why you did this in the first place!"
"You're both important! You're both meant to do something, like I said the attack on the ship wasn't supposed to happen!" the man told him sounding irritated. "That's all I can tell you!"
"I'm coming with you and there's nothing you can do to stop me," Malcolm threatened.

"There's a temporal disturbance in sickbay," said T'Pol suddenly, breaking the silence.
"Denny," Malcolm murmured before racing into the turbo-lift ignoring the others.
* * *
"Denny!" Malcolm (future) exclaimed joyfully.
"Dad!" Denny cried leaping into her fathers arms.
They hugged tightly.
"Oh thank god you're alright!" said Malcolm (future) gratefully. "Have they been treating you ok?"
"Yeah, d'ya know how weird you look with a full head of dark brown hair?" Denny asked sweetly.
"Look daughter of mine I haven't come halfway through time to be insulted by you!" said Malcolm (future) good naturedly.
"We have to go!" The man urged.
They all froze as sickbay doors opened.
