Chapter 42
"A Touch of Love"
Will was in shock he couldn't believe they had gotten pregnant so soon after her miscarriage. The Doctor said it could take up to a year. It had only been two months, two months and Deanna could be pregnant already. Lily was jumping up in down with glee she was so happy that she was going to have another baby sister.
"Yeah mommy, just what I thought that shore leave you took a few months ago was the right thing to do. Aren't you glad now that you went alone. I told you it would happen, that must be what the Guardians meant with your letter."
Will was still in shock it took a pulling of his uniform from Lily to get his attention.
"You're pre...pre...pregnant. Are you sure Deanna I mean the Doctor said it would take months to get pregnant again."
"Will I have had my cycle since I was 13 years old I know its right. I'm usually so much better at keeping track of when it happens. Will this could be it, since I don't really remember what happened when we were on that planet I could be wrong. Something tells me that I'm right. Will are you happy?"
"Wait lets not jump the gun yet. We should make an appointment with the Doctor to confirm it. Deanna how many patients do you have today?"
"I have three appointments scheduled for this morning and six appointments this afternoon. I won't be able to make it until after them. What about you Will?"
"Well I have a ton of work to do and we have several meetings with the crew in the afternoon. I guess we won't be able to stop in Sickbay until 20:00 hours. But I don't know if I can wait that long a baby Deanna wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"Of course it would be daddy especially now since you are home and we are together. Mommy won't have to go thorough it alone. Maybe she won't have a miscarriage this time since you are home."
"Wait Lily lets not get a head of ourselves we still have to go to the doctor and make sure I really am pregnant. I don't want to get your hopes up and find out that I'm not pregnant."
Lily rolled her eyes and walked out the door leaving Deanna and Will alone. He embraces her with tender love and gently places his hand on her stomach. He imagined what it would be like to have a child of his own. He often wondered what the child would be like. Now that they are so close he can imagine his child. Deanna places her hand on his and rests her head on his shoulder.
"It would be wonderful. We had better get going or we both will be late and Lily will be late for day care. We'll find out when I get home. I want everyone to be here with me. "
"I love you so much Deanna. Thank you for giving me this child. I know you might not be pregnant but something tells me that our daughter's instinct is right."
"No Will, thank you for making me a mom again."
They kiss softly on the lips and exit their sleeping quarters hand in hand. This was a new beginning for everyone.
