Enterprise Cargo bay 2: T'Pol sat and watched the people around her and Trip. Just a few short years ago, she would have never admitted to any of them becoming her friend, but these humans and become much more than that. These people had become her family. She knew that many on Vulcan would not nor could not understand how it had occurred, but it had happened none the less. As she looked at their faces, and the smiles that they showed, she felt that all was for once right with the universe. As 16:00 came and went, several of the guests left, and were soon replaced by the others of the crew.

Now T'Pol walked up to Phlox, "Doctor, I need to speak to you for a moment."

Phlox smiled at her, "Of course commander, what about?"

T'Pol led Phlox off to the side, "Doctor, I am worried about Elizabeth."

Phlox looked over at Elizabeth who was being held by her grandfather, "She appears to be doing quite well commander. She doesn't appear to be in any distress."

T'Pol shook her head, "Not now doctor, I'm worried about her eating while Trip and I are away."

Phlox smiled at her, "Not to worry commander, she'll do just fine on formula while your gone."

T'Pol had a very stern look in her eyes, "No doctor, she and I must continue what we have started."

Phlox looked at T'Pol, he could see that she was very serious, "Alright commander, I'll arrange something with the Captain."

T'Pol looked visibly relieved, "Thank you doctor."

As T'Pol made her way back to the main table, Phlox stood there for a moment rubbing his chin. Suddenly his eyes widened, and he started to smile. He had a call to make, and he had better hurry.

.
Trip saw T'Pol talking to Phlox, and wondered what it was about. When she returned to the table, he looked at her, " I know what your worried about, and you don't need to be."

T'Pol was slightly surprised at the clarity of Trip's thought, "You're getting better at this my Husband."

Trip smiled, "I had an excellent teacher, my Wife."

"Your praise is not needed, but thank you."

"Your welcome, and by the way, I love you."

"And I love you." T'Pol thought without any hesitation.

Trip and T'Pol sat and seemed to stare into each other's eyes, and the rest of the people at the table just tried not to notice. Ambassador Soval and Captain Archer saw the two of them looking at each other, and Jonathon turned to Soval, "They do make a good couple, don't you think?"

Soval looked at Jonathon, "Yes they do Captain."

.
At 18:00, Trip and T'Pol managed to make it out of the reception, and make it back to Trips quarters. They found their bags already packed, and a box from Dr. Phlox with a disk for them to play when they found it. T'Pol was changing, so Trip put the disk in the desktop and hit the activate button, soon Phlox's face filled the screen.

"T'Pol, I left you a box, which you will need on your honeymoon. The instructions are inside the box, just use the device every morning, and then contact Enterprise, and we will beam up the liquids. And don't worry about Elizabeth, she's in the very best hands possible, you two have the very best time that you can." and then the picture faded.

Trip, being the curious engineer that he is, opened the box and looked at the device. Once he realized what it was, he began to turn bright red. T'Pol felt Trip's discomfort, and came back into the front room.

"What's wrong Trip?"

He looked at her, and she could see the discoloration of his cheeks and ears, and she knew that something had embarrassed him. "Oh nothing, uh Phlox just left a package for you, that's all."

T'Pol came over to him, and looked at the package for a moment, and then at the man she loved. "There is no reason to be embarrassed Trip, this is something that I will need."

Trip just looked at her for a second, and knew she was right, and that he was acting like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

He stood up, "You better finish changing, or we may never get to the cabin."

T'Pol started to turn, but then stopped and leaned toward Trip, and kissed him deeply. When they broke the kiss, Trip was breathless and a little lightheaded. Trip quickly stowed the box in the bags, and when T'Pol was finished, they headed for the shuttle bay.

.
After Trip and T'Pol had left to change, the Captain stood up, "Listen up people, we have about a week to make some major changes in the crew quarter's area. I want to personally thank everyone who has volunteered their time to help with the renovations. But first, we have to set up the send off of the happy couple. So if everyone will proceed to the shuttle bay, it's time to send off Mr. And Mrs. Tucker in the appropriate style."

Ambassador Soval was walking next to Jonathon, and he couldn't help but ask, "Captain Archer, what type of send off were you referring to at the reception?"

Jonathon smiled at him, "Well ambassador, that's something that you'll have to experience for yourself."

When everyone had arrived at the shuttle bay, Malcolm, Travis and six of the MACO's formed an honor guard, and each had a saber. Soval looked at Jonathon, "I didn't realize that humans have to fight to get away for the quiet time after the wedding?"

Jonathon smiled again, "Just watch ambassador."

Hoshi and several others were handing out rice to everyone, and Jonathon took some, as did the ambassador. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

Hoshi looked at him, "It's symbolic ambassador, you toss it on the couple as they're leaving, it's to ensure prosperity."

Soval just nodded, "I see."

.
When Trip and T'Pol arrived at the shuttle bay, two crewmen took their bags from them, and placed them on the shuttle. Trip saw the honor guard, and he leaned toward T'Pol and whispered, "This may get a little embarrassing, but try to roll with it."

T'Pol just nodded her head. As the two of them approached the honor guard, the 8 men came to attention, and drew their sabers. They then used them to form an arch, for the couple to walk under. Trip and T'Pol walked under the arch, but as they neared Malcolm and Travis, the two men lowered their swords and had them crossed at chest height.

Malcolm looked at Trip and winked, and Trip looked at T'Pol, "I told you this could be embarrassing." and then he kissed her.

Malcolm and Travis lowered their swords, and just as T'Pol had passed, Travis gave her a small smack on her backside with his saber. Surprisingly, T'Pol took the smack in stride and said nothing. As the couple was about to enter the shuttle, the guest's began throwing the rice, even ambassador Soval. Now Trip and T'Pol took their seats on the shuttle, and soon the shuttle was making it's way to Earth. Ambassador Soval now looked at Captain Archer, and Jonathon felt that the ambassador had something serious to discuss.
