Chapter Five

A few hours later Deanna and Will beam down to the fifth planet known as Brekin V where both species will be residing. Deanna exchanged her teal dress for a pale blue warm-up suit, a white tank top, and black shorts and tennis shoes. While Will went a little more conservative, he wore a polo shirt, beige shorts and a pair of athletic shoes. After all he didn't want to look to comfortable while he visited the planet. Soon after a young woman about 20 comes up to Riker and Troi and extends her hand. Unlike her leaders she looked very human in fact she looked completely human Will wondered how she ended up here on a planet populated by fairies.

"Hello, my name is Zoë Braiden wanted me to send you his regrets for not meeting you here himself he had some meeting he had to go to. I see you are surprised at my appearance but I am as you see my parents were human they came here many years ago when I was a child to study these species. They both passed away when I was very young. Braiden has been looking after me since then I hope it doesn't affect our relationship its good to see humans again."

"No, and you are right we were a little surprised when we saw you. Does that mean that you are the only human on this planet?"

"Yes, my parents and I were the only ones. It was strange after my parents died and Braiden took me in. I kept seeing these fairies like the ones in my story books and it would almost be as if I was a part of a story. After a few years with Braiden I grew up a little and understood who they were but I still missed my parents seeing you here kind of brings back good memories."

"I can see why it would be lonely."

"Yes but I grew to love Braiden and he became my father; Well we had better get you settled in my father and I have a summer house just over the hill you are welcome to stay in it."

Deanna fights back the urge to yawn as she wipes the sleep from her eyes. She didn't sleep much last night to much has happened not to mention she was a bit nervous coming down to a planet especially a planet that two species fought a 500 year war over it.

"Thank you why don't you take my wife over there while I tour your city she needs her rest."

"Will I am perfectly fine to tour the city with you after we see the house."

"But the doctor said you needed to take it easy and rest and you didn't sleep much last night."

"The doctor, are you ill?"

"Oh no I'm fine it's just well…"

"You're having a baby am I right?"

Will was a little stunned if Zoë was human how did she know that Deanna was pregnant? It frightened him as much as it intrigued him. Who was this Zoë he wondered and why was she here? That was something that Will intended on finding out.

"Yes actually how did you know?"

Deanna wondered was it that obvious and if it was that obvious to Zoë was she safe here while she was pregnant. There was so much they didn't know about the people here. Suddenly Deanna became very frightened and wondered if she just walked into a trap and that once the baby was born that they would take it away. She shifted uncomfortable in her shoes as Zoë smiled.

"Please don't worry we welcome any new arrival whether it be of this race or human."

Something about that worried Will as he took Deanna's hand in his. Was this a trap or was it really a reception and celebration that both species have come to a final agreement and wanted peace. That has yet to be told and both Will and Deanna didn't know what waited the very next day.
