~*~Disclaimer=Me own nowt~*~ Aww thanks for all the reviews! All comments
were accepted gratefully-honest! They really do help!~*~
Silence fell in the room both Malcolm's throwing each other curious glances every so often.
"We better go," said the man standing up, still leaning against the wall with his hair sticking up in all different directions giving him a slightly unhinged look.
Denny turned to present Malcolm and shrugged slightly.
"Thanks for everything Dad."
"No problem."
"Well, bye then."
Denny threw her arms round him and gave him a tight hug. He returned it knowing that this might the last time he'd ever see her again because of what she might've changed in the future by being here in the past.
Reluctantly present Malcolm let her go and watched as his future self drew her near. They hadn't really had time to bond properly and maybe that was a good thing because then it would've probably have been harder to watch her walk away from him back to her future.
"Thanks for looking after her," said future Malcolm nodding his head.
"Ok, ok, c'mon people it's time to get going before someone else walks in!" the man exclaimed strain evident in his voice and looking on the verge of a nervous breakdown as he tapped buttons on the device in his hand.
Present Malcolm watched as his daughter his future self and the man disappeared.
"Are you alright Malcolm?" Archer asked concerned.
Malcolm nodded running a hand through his hair. The past 48 hours had felt like he was on an emotional roller coaster and now it felt like someone had slammed on the brakes and thrown him off.
Archer unlocked Sickbay doors and watched as his armoury officer walked out obviously deep in thought.
Malcolm entered the turbo-lift.
"I take it she's gone then."
The voice shattered his thoughts completely and he looked up coming face to face with Hoshi.
"Yes, she's gone."
"I'm sorry-are you ok?"
He did a small double take as he stared at her. He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed before, Adrienne might've had the same eye and hair colour as him but she had the exact body shape of Hoshi.
"Lieutenant?"
Malcolm had his mouth open and was staring at her like he'd never seen her before and Hoshi was getting worried.
"Sir?.....................MALCOLM!" she yelled finally.
He blinked and promptly shut his mouth.
"Are you sure you're ok?" she asked staring at him worriedly.
He nodded and smiled.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Hoshi asked briefly wondering if she was over stepping the mark.
"I'm not supposed to in case it changes the future," Malcolm explained.
"Oh.............Did she ever tell you who her mother was?" Hoshi asked feeling her heart leap into her throat.
Malcolm shook his head.
"I know who I'd like it to be though," he said walking out leaving Hoshi staring out after him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The future sometime~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now to see how much damage you've caused," said the man sternly rifling through information on the device in front of him.
"Excuse me but I seem to remember that it was a certain someone who lost my daughter somewhere in the timeline so if the future's been changed at all it's your fault for losing her in the first place!" Malcolm snapped.
Denny who was leaning against the wall noticed a depressed guilty look flash across the mans face.
"Who are you anyway?" she asked curiously.
"Daniels," he replied shortly.
"Daniels as in the Daniels who visited Archer on numerous occasions?" Malcolm asked amazed.
"No, I'm his brother," Daniels replied shifting slightly from foot to foot. "He was killed a few days ago. This is the first time I've done something like this."
Malcolm's mouth dropped open and a look of sheer disbelief was on his face. He was thankful that Daniels ad helped save him and Denny but to have it turn out that he barely knew what he was doing was not a hopeful thought when it came to getting back to where they where supposed to be.
