Chapter 46
"Divine Interventions"
On the Holodeck the Riker family are enjoying one of the last vacations as a family of three. In twelve weeks a new baby will be added to the Riker family. Deanna and Will sit quietly on the beach as Lily plays in the wet sand crashing on the beach. Deanna was showing she was pregnant now so she covered her stomach up with a one piece bathing suit instead of her regular two. Riker was sitting next to her in his trunks. He gently strokes his hand over Deanna stomach who had her hand placed on her stomach.
"Isn't this a beautiful program?"
"Who needs vacations when you have a holodeck. You can go to the beach whenever and not have to worry about taking leave. How was your appointment today?"
"It was good, my blood pressure is still a little high. Dr. Campbell said not to worry its very common especially in Human/Betazoid pregnancies."
"I'm sorry I missed your appointment we had an emergency meeting over com-link from Starfleet headquarters. Seems they are still having difficulties with the Romulan peace talks."
"It's alright you didn't miss much just a scan and a check-up. She was concerned that I wasn't gaining a lot of weight. So she gave me some vitiams to take along with the prenatal vitiam."
"Are you sure she's okay?"
"Of course she is. I suppose we will have to choose a name soon."
"I think Lily already chose the name for her baby sister."
"Right Emilee Rose, wonder what made her pick that name?"
"I don't know lets find out?"
"Lily can you come here for a moment your father and I want to talk to you for a minute."
Lily nods and comes running to her parents. She jumps on Will's lap and smiles.
"Yes mommy?"
"We just want to know why you picked Emilee Rose for your baby sister's name. We know it wasn't just for your friend."
"No, I was just thinking about how she looked on the sonogram you had when you found out you were pregnant.. She looked just like a little flower reaching out to touch someone. Also because my name is Lillian which means lily flower. I just wanted to share it."
"That's sweet Lily, well we had better get moving I have to get some work done before we leave the area."
"I also have some work to do before the baby comes."
"Aw come on mommy why don't you just come and take a swim with me. You too daddy, it will be a long time before we can have this kind of gathering once the baby comes isn't that right?"
"I suppose come on lets do it for her Will?"
Will could never say no to that smile. With the help of Will and Lily Deanna got to her feet and together they walking into the sea. It was a beautiful sight.
