Disclaimer in chapter 1.
Thanks to Lt.Cmmdr. XFile,USS Enter, and Meethrill for the reviews.
Short chapter I'm sorry, and I'm aware this story is probably going to be breaking some Star Fleet protocol, sorry about that too.
Chapter 20
Daddy
"Captain are you really going to go down with the away team?" Riker asked once again.
"Yes number one I am, they are not hostile, and I am very curious to see why Q sent us here." Picard turned to leave but before he left he felt a tug on his uniform, Picard looked down and into the eyes of Angela Jackie.
"Weren't you at ten forward?"
"I came back, I want to go with you." She pleaded, gripping his uniform pant leg.
"I don't know…"
"Please don't leave me I want to go with you to the planet." She cried. The captain held up his hands it would clearly take time for him to get use to having a child.
"Alright, alright you can come."
"Thank you Daddy." She squealed happily skipping off to the turbo lift.
"Daddy?!" Picard turned toward Counselor Troi who was standing a few feet off with a nervous look on her face.
"Counselor…a word…in my ready room." Deanna Troi followed the captain into his ready room.
"I can explain sir."
"I hope you can."
"In our last session Angela Jackie was getting scared again. You have to understand sir technically her parents are dead, and she has finally grasped that concept. She still craved though a fatherly figure in her life, and considering she is in your care I suggested you…I take it from her comment she interpreted that you were her new father." The captain slumped into his chair. "Captain if you have a problem with that I can ask her to stop." Picard sat contemplating that then shook his head.
"No, no its fine for now, it'll just take a while to get adjusted to…"
"Sir the away team is ready and waiting in transporter room two."
"I'm on my way is Angela Jackie there?"
"Yes sir."
"I'm on my way then." With that Picard stood and exited.
*Transporter Room Two*
"Energize Ensign." Picard order after taking his place on the transporter pad beside Angela Jackie who looked up excitedly at him.
*Precipuus*
President Bustan stood waiting for the arrival of the Enterprise away team.
"Sir they were sent by Q, what should we do about them?" His advisor nervously asked.
"Let's not make any move yet, I want to learn a little more about these…humans…before we do anything."
"Sir what if they are hear to destroy us?"
"Then we will destroy their ship and all of them."
