Author's notes: I had only meant for Little Elizabeth to be a one shot deal, but my muse had other idea's. I hope you like this part of the story. And thanks for the reviews.

Enterprise sickbay: Doctor Phlox was still a little weak, and was sitting in his chair at his desk. He couldn't help but smile as he looked over at T'Pol as she sat with little Elizabeth in her arms. The request that she had made hadn't surprised him. She asked, no more like demanded that she be allowed to stay with her daughter. Apparently the Vulcan maternal instinct was extremely strong. Both Captain Archer and Dr. Phlox agreed, because it was either try to keep both Trip and T'Pol out of sickbay, and deal with them as worried parents, or let at least one of them stay. Dr. Phlox smiled to himself, "I think we made the right choice," he thought to himself. He then looked at T'Pol and Elizabeth again.

T'Pol set Elizabeth back in the crib that the engineers had built for her, and then walked over to Phlox.

"Dr. I need you to do something for me."

Phlox turned around and looked at her. "What would that be Commander?"

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then looked at him. "I need you to stimulate my, uh..."

"Your what Commander?"

Now she spoke softly, "My mammary."

Phlox looked at her, " Oh those. Uh, why commander?"

T'Pol looked at him, "To feed Elizabeth."

"I see."

Phlox couldn't help but smile, but he quickly put on his professional face. "Alright Commander. If you wish."

He then went to one of his work areas and prepped a hypo spray. "I should warn you Commander, the hormones that I'm about to give you may cause some minor side effects."

"What sort of side effects?"

"Nothing really, they may just cause an increase in your libido until your body adjusts to the levels."

T'Pol just nodded her head, and Phlox gave her the injection. She felt a little dizzy, and steadied herself against a bio-bed.

"Don't worry Commander, the dizziness will only last for a moment."

"When will I know if the injection is working?"

"In about an hour Commander."

T'Pol almost smiled, "Thank you Doctor." then she went and sat by Elizabeth's bedside.

.
As the next hour went by, T'Pol found that her uniform felt extremely uncomfortable and was seemingly restrictive on her chest.

"Doctor, I am feeling something unusual."

She explained how she felt, and Phlox just smiled.

"You may want to change, there are some exam gowns in that drawer there." and he pointed to a drawer.

T'Pol went over and opened the drawer, and removed one of the gowns. She then went to one of the exam area's and pulled the curtain closed, and removed her uniform top. She then noticed that she was 'leaking'.

"Doctor, I seem to be leaking fluid."

Phlox smiled on the other side of the curtain. "Don't worry Commander that's normal."

When she came out of the exam area, she went back over to Elizabeth's bed and sat down. She thought to herself, "Is it warm in here?"

.
Captain Archer's quarters: Trip looked at Jonathan for a moment, "Well what do ya think?"

Jonathon Archer looked at his friend, and knew that Trip was sweating bullets right now. He stood up and looked at his friend, with as serious an expression as he could.

"I think that she'll say yes, and if she does, I would be honored."

Trip visibly relaxed, "So when do ya think I should ask her?"

Jonathon looked at Trip, "That's something that you'll have to figure out Trip. But you'll know when the time is right."

Trip just shook his head, and then ran a finger under the collar of his uniform. "Is it warm in here Cap'n."

Jonathon looked at him, "Not really Trip, you're just nervous."

"No really Cap'n, I'm feelin really warm right now."

"Well maybe we should have Phlox check you out."

Trip nodded his head, "Right Cap'n"

The two of them headed for sickbay.

.
When they arrived at sickbay, they immediately looked over at where T'Pol was sitting with Elizabeth. Both of them froze in their tracks, and you could have knocked them over with a feather. T'Pol was sitting in the chair, and was holding Elizabeth, who was busily feeding herself. T'Pol looked up for a moment, and saw the ear-to-ear smile on Trip's face. Captain Archer was still just standing there with a shocked look on his face.

Now the Captain tried to speak, "T'Pol, how?"

Trip just looked at the woman he loved, and his daughter, and he didn't care how. Phlox came up beside Captain Archer, "My fault captain. T'Pol asked for my help, and what can I say. I'm and old softie."

While Phlox and the Captain were talking, Trip went over to T'Pol and Elizabeth. Because of the bond he shared with T'Pol, he knew that she was beaming with love and pride. Even if her face didn't show a hint of it.

Now he kneeled down beside them, "T'Pol honey. There's something I want to ask ya."

T'Pol already knew what he was going to ask, but she also knew she had to let him ask.

"What do you want to ask me Trip?"

Looking again at the two most important women in his life, he reached into his pocket and took out a ring. "Will you marry me T'Pol?"

T'Pol looked at Trip, "I have been thinking about our daughters future, and it would be wise if both of her parents were in her life. Yes Trip, I'll marry you."

Trip felt like he was about to bust, and was about to let out a yell, but T'Pol stopped him with a single word, "Shhhh."

Trip looked down at Elizabeth, who was now asleep in T'Pol's arms.

.
Jonathon Archer looked at Trip and T'Pol, and asked, "Well Trip?"

Trip just turned his head and looked at Jonathon, and smiled from ear to ear. Jonathon looked at the two people that were closer to him than most of the people he knew.

"Well then, how does Friday at 1200 hours sound to you two. That way the two, uh three of you will have time to be back on your feet."

Now Trip looked at Jonathon, "Uh Cap'n if you're goin to be performing the ceremony, I'm goin to need a best man."

Phlox then stepped up, "If I remember your human wedding rites, T'Pol will also need someone, A Maid of Honor."

Trip looked at Phlox, "Yeah your right."

Now T'Pol looked at the three men, and as she gently rocked Elizabeth, she just quietly said "Lt Reed and Ensign Sato."

Trip looked at T'Pol, and then at Jonathon. "What do ya think Jon?"

Jonathon smiled, "I can't think of a better choice Trip."

T'Pol looked at Trip, "Why don't you go and ask them Trip?"

"What, oh, uh yeah." and soon both Jonathon and Trip were headed for the bridge.

Now T'Pol looked at Phlox, "Doctor, I need your assistance once more."

Phlox looked at her, "I can assure you T'Pol, the injection I gave you will be sufficient, now that your nursing, your own hormone levels will rise to the appropriate levels."

"It's not that Doctor. I to have researched many of the human wedding rituals, for cultural reference. There is something that is needed for the ceremony, that I do not have."

"And what is that T'Pol?"

"Someone to give me away. The usual custom is for a father or other paternal figure to give the human bride to her husband."

"And you want me to do that for you T'Pol?", he smiled at her, "I would be honored to give you away."

.
Enterprise Turbo lift: Jonathon and Trip were in the lift, proceeding to the bridge.

"Well Jon, do you think they'll agree?"

"Of course they will Trip, their family."

Trip knew that the Cap'n was right; the people of the crew had become both his and T'Pol's extended family. When the door opened, the two of them stepped out. Travis was at his station, making some minor course adjustment; Hoshi and Malcolm were standing by Tactical talking. Hoshi saw the worried look on Trip's face and assumed the worse.

"Is something wrong with Elizabeth?"

"No, no she's just fine, she and mom are still in sickbay."

Everyone visibly relaxed, and Trip took a step forward.

"People, I've got an announcement. T'Pol and I would like to invite y'all to our wedding on Friday."

Hoshi came over and hugged Trip and kissed his cheek, "Congratulations Commander."

Malcolm and Travis also came over and shook his hand in congratulations. Trip was still smiling, when he looked at Malcolm and Hoshi.

"We need to ask you two something."

Malcolm smiled, "What do you need old man, a bachelor party?"

Everyone just chuckled a little. "No Malcolm, but thanks for the offer. What T'Pol and I need, or wanted to know. Is would the two of you stand up with us?"

Hoshi just hugged Trip again, and smiled, "I'd be delighted to be T'Pol's maid of honor."

Then everyone looked at Malcolm. He still had a shocked look on his face.

Hoshi just smiled, "Captain, you may want to put this in your log, Malcolm is speechless."

After a minute, Malcolm finally looked at Trip, "Commander, I would be honored to be your best man."

As Trip, Malcolm and Hoshi were talking, Captain Archer walked up to Travis.

Quietly he spoke to him, "Travis, I'm going to need your help, but on the sly."

Travis looked at his Captain, and saw the mischievous look in his eye. He quietly nodded, "Yes sir."

.
Thursday morning, 6:30 A.M. EST: Kathy Tucker looked out the window of her kitchen at her husband Charley. She was a little surprised to hear a knock at the front door, and was still wiping her hands with a dishtowel when she got to the door. When she opened the door, she saw a young man in a Starfleet uniform. She started to fear the worst, and he could see it in her eyes.

He smiled a her, "Mrs. Tucker, I've got some good news for you."

Kathy Tucker relaxed a little, "Who are you?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm Ensign Travis, from the Enterprise. The Captain sent me here to pick up you and your husband."

"Pick us up, why?"

"Well the Captain thought you might not want to miss your son's wedding."

Kathy Tucker's head began to swoon, and she remembered falling forward. When she opened her eyes, the young man was there, and Charley was standing next to him. She had a cold compress on her forehead.

"You alright hon.? Travis said you got a bit of a shock"

She looked at her husband, "Yeah, you could call it that. Did ya know that Trip's gettin married?"

"Yep, and I even packed our bags."

Kathy sat up on the couch, and looked at the bags packed and setting by the door. She also saw a box, a box that she had meant to give her daughter Elizabeth, but hadn't been able to.

"Why did ya bring out that box Charley?"

"Because Jonathon asked me to."

"Charles Tucker Junior, are you and Jonathon up to something."

He just smiled at her and winked. "You better get movin, I don't think the neighbors will want to see a shuttle parked on the front lawn."

Ten minutes later, after changing her cloths, the three of them were lifting off in the shuttle, and were soon in orbit.

.
Thursday morning, 0700 A.M. EST: Trip was just leaving sickbay, after checking on Elizabeth and T'Pol, when he hears Captain Archer paging him. He went to a wall comm. unit and pressed a button on it.

"Yeah Cap'n?"

"Trip, could you meet me in the shuttle bay?"

Trip shook his head, "So much for breakfast before my shift." he thought.

Trip arrived at the shuttle bay, just as shuttle one was finally setting down. He saw the Captain waiting for him.

"You wanted to see me Captain?"

"Yes Trip, it seems that we have some VIP's coming aboard."

"Who is it this time, some Admiral, or another ambassador?"

"No Trip, someone more important."

Trip wasn't sure what the Captain meant, but then he saw who was stepping off the shuttle. Trip literally ran across the shuttle bay, and was soon hugging and lifting his mom off her feet. Soon, his dad was there and all three of them were in a family hug.

Now trip began to come to his senses, "Mom, dad, what are y'all doin here?"

His dad smiled, and just pointed to Jonathon, "He called me last night and told me. You didn't think we would miss this event of the century did you."
