A few days later Kat escorted Sam, Boom, and Sophie in; they were the only ones who hadn't seen Emily and Erin yet.
"Hi… Kathleen, Sky" Sophie said, "we just came to see your daughters, we haven't seen them yet"
"Okay" Kathleen smiled as Sophie picked up Emily, gently supporting her neck as she knew she was suppose to. "They're beautiful"
"Yes, they really are" Sam agreed
"I… I want to hold one of the girls too," Boom said
"Be very careful, Boom" Kat advised as she placed Erin in his arms.
He held her like she was made of glass, and soon Erin began to dislike this and began to cry.
"Oh, let me take her" Kat said and took Erin back and calmed her down before allowing Sam to have his turn at holding one of the twins.
Erin didn't mind his hold and let them know that by not even disturbing when Kat handed her to Sam.
A little bit later the twins were placed back in their cribs and Sam, Boom, Sophie and Kat all four left; Cruger entered the room
"Kathleen, may I speak with you"
"Yes sir, what about?" Kathleen asked
Cruger looked at Erin and Emily and then at Kathleen "Nothing particular" he smiled slightly as he approached Kathleen's bed, "You know that you couldn't have more support where razing these girls is concerned"
"I know, sir" Kathleen replied "you should see Sky around them, it's amazing… I know he loves them a lot and eh loves me just as much"
Cruger sat on the edge of Kathleen's bed, "He does… I know he does" Cruger assured her gently "he's trying to be the best father and husband he can be because he doesn't want you to lose him without you knowing how much he loves you, or your daughters"
"It makes since after what happened to his father" Kathleen said
Cruger approached the twins as they slept in their cribs.
"Looking at these girls reminds me why we have to fight, why we have to defeat Gruumm, for the next generation, for the children who are being born every day; so they can have a peaceful world to live in" Cruger said earnestly "Gruumm cannot be allowed to win"
"No, sir, he can't" Kathleen said as she stood and approached Cruger "they deserve peace, and so do you, sir… I can't imagine what kind of pain you suffered when you realized all you had lost"
"It is an immense load to take, especially the loss of my wife, Aisynia" Cruger sighed
"Sir, you do know that I am a median" Kathleen paused "I'm willing to help any way I can… I know closure is one of those things you didn't get, and if I may, sir, I'm willing to help in any way that I can"
Cruger smiled, "You know you are a lot like your mother"
"Sir, I do take that as a high complement, I look up to my mom, and hope to be more patient with people, like she is" Kathleen said
"You're going in the right direction, Kathleen" Cruger said, "You may one day be like her."
Cruger knew that if anyone could verify if Aisynia was dead or not it was Kathleen, if Aisynia were dead she could make contact with Kathleen, if not… someone else who had could let them know that Aisynia was alive, he just didn't know how to ask her to try and find out… he didn't realize that her ability as a median was a product of her telepathy and she knew exactly what he was thinking.
"Commander, with all due respect, if you want me to try and find out if your wife is really dead, sir, all you have to do is ask" Kathleen said gently
"Would you try?"
"Yes sir" Kathleen sat on her bed and closed her eyes for a moment
"I've already found her energies, yes, she is dead sir" Kathleen whispered
