Chapter 44

"There for Me"

A few weeks later Deanna is still suffering bought of morning sickness but they come and go as her mood. Lily is really excited about having another baby sister and already called the baby Emilee Rose. Deanna and Will wonder what made her want to call the child Emilee Rose. Lily said it was for one of her friends at her old home. Wil groans slightly as the alarm goes off loudly.

"Computer turn off the alarm."

Soon it is off Will rolls over and places his hand where Deanna would be. To his surprise she wasn't there. Sounds coming from the bathroom reminds Will that Doctor Campbell said that her betazoid as well as her human genes would clash. Will sighs softly and climbs out of bed and goes to the door which is slightly open. He opened it softly. Deanna's head was hung over the sink the water running quickly.

"Deanna are you okay?"

"Just a little morning sickness I'll be out soon."

"Are you sure you are okay?"

"Yes, please I'll be out soon. Why don't you go check on Lily. Make sure she's awake."

"Sure."

Will closes the door as if on cue he hears his wife vomiting. She ran the water to prevent the noise but he could still hear her. He sighs softly and puts on his uniform. Lily was awake and at the dining room table eating cereal.

"Hi daddy!"

"Hi sweetheart, did you get your breakfast all by yourself?"

"Daddy I'm five years old I think I can get my own bowl of cereal."

Will laughs softly as his daughter returns to her cereal.

"How's mommy today?"

"She's okay, she has a bit of morning sickness but we told you that would happen. She'll be out soon I will get her some tea."

"Peppermint tea daddy, it will settle her stomach."

"How did you know that?"

"Cuz when I was at my old house my daddy made that for me when I had a tummy ache. Trust me daddy she will just want the tea."

As the tea materialized on the replicator padd Deanna came out of their room. Looking a little peaked but with a smile.

"Hi mommy, sorry you feel sick."

"It's a good sick Lily it means that the baby is on its way. Although I don't think that I can take this for another 10 weeks."

"I'm sorry to hear that Deanna. I'm sorry I'm making you sick."

"Will it's not you it's the baby. Don't blame yourself, I knew what I was getting into when I wanted a family. Trust me I'll be just fine in a few weeks."

"Deanna you're 15 weeks pregnant you have 35 more weeks before the baby is born."

"Yes, but the morning sickness will be over in 10 weeks."

"Here is some peppermint tea Lily said that it will settle your stomach."

"She was right."

Deanna takes the glass from Will and sits down at the table. The cereal Lily was eating didn't bother her as much as the bacon and eggs Will had replicated for himself. With one look at his breakfast Deanna raced to the bathroom with her hand over her mouth.

"Daddy maybe you should eat cereal until mommy's morning sickness is over. I think the grease makes her sick."

"I will."

By the time Deanna came out of the bathroom flushed Will had put his bacon and eggs away and made a bowl of cereal. Deanna smiles as she looks at his bowl."

"Cereal?"

"Yes, cereal doesn't make you sick I'm sorry about that."

"Don't worry I would have done the same if our positions were reversed."

Will smiles as the family sit down to finish their breakfast.
