Chapter 16
"The Visitor"
Deanna kept blinking her eyes thinking it was only a dream. There a young man in his teens with dark curly hair and ebony eyes. He was just as she picture he would be when he was 16. She even started to believe she was hallucinating. Ian walked closer to her and took a seat on the stool next to the bath tub.
"How did you get here?"
"Someone told me to come and be with you for him."
"Him?"
"Yes my grandfather. I ran into his spirit a few days ago he told me that my mother needed me."
"You met daddy?"
"Well not exactly our spirit's just seemed to pass each other on the way to his Heaven."
"You mean daddy wasn't resting in piece?"
"Oh of course it was he was what Human's call Guardians. He was completing an assignment and called to me. I was there as quickly as I could be. He is very worried about you."
"That's how my father was my mother said that was one of his greatest qualities."
"He couldn't tell me what he was concerned about I guess there is a confidentiality rule where he is. He just told me to come to you."
"I'm alright 12 weeks ago Wil went on an away mission to find lost crew members. Captain Picard was one of the listed missing. When they didn't return a week later the Enterprise go an acting captain until he war found. It was only supposed to be a week that was 11 weeks ago maybe Wil isn't alive anymore."
"Mother don't say that he's fine I should know. There have been a few plans that didn't fall through but he hasn't given up."
"That's just the way Wil is. Do you know everything that's been going on over the last few weeks?"
"I couldn't just leave my mother I checked in on you often. I also found out I have a baby sister named Lily who just adores you and I also know about this new baby."
"I'm scared Ian what if Wil doesn't make it back for the birth? Lily misses her father and it would break her heart if he won't be home."
"Don't worry mother he'll be home in a few weeks I promise you."
"Thanks Ian and its good to see you again."
"The feelings are mutual. I have to go now I have someone waiting for me back home."
"Is it a girl?"
"Mom"
"Right, right , right, I love you Ian."
"I love you to mother take care of yourself after all that's my baby sister in there and she needs you."
"It's a girl?"
"Yes, until next time."
The mist lifted and the young man vanished. Deanna opened her eyes expecting to see Ian so real he seemed if only it wasn't her dream.
