Fools Rush In by Teal
Chapter Five
Julian stood back as he and Ezri compared Jadzia's bio-scans. The one the day before her death, the one the day of her death, and the one Worf had just transmitted looked identical. The symbiont scans, including Ezri's symbiont, seemed identical as well.
They stayed still, locked in place as Worf's haggard image appeared. "I've included the evidence I have collected. Be prepared for serious injuries. As you can see, she is in very poor health. She has been unconscious for over four hours now." He seemed to hesitate, and then added, "Tell Ezri that she has the scar." The transmission ended.
Julian looked at Ezri with curiosity. "The scar? What was he referring to?"
Ezri smiled. She remembered it well. "The first time we, that is they, well, consummated their relationship, things got a bit rough."
"I remember." He scowled, distaste clearly written across his face. "I was the Doctor on call that night, and had to fix them up. But, I did do just that. I didn't leave any wound or scratch untreated." Julian spoke with pride.
"Well, actually you did." Ezri smiled mischievously. "Jadzia wanted to keep the first nip for posterity sake. To, you know, remember the occasion. Actually, it is rather romantic if you think about it." She sat back, smiling in remembrance. "She knew at the start that it was a serious relationship, she just didn't want to admit it to Worf yet. She told him about it on their wedding night." She grinned. "As a result, Worf has his own little scar on his clavicle for the same reason."
Julian looked at first disgusted, and then a little worried at the very evident pleasure he saw on Ezri's face as she remembered the incident.
"Don't worry so much Julian, I'm not into biting." She laughed at him. "Not anymore, anyway."
He blushed and decided to change the subject. "Well, apparently Worf is convinced that he's found Jadzia. I will get the lab ready regardless, and we'll get her fixed up. She's severely under weight and dehydrated though. It is going to be quite a while before she is back on her feet. I'd say that he got to her just in the nick of time." Julian moved away, beginning to plan for their arrival.
Ezri looked after him, watching him, but thinking of Worf. He didn't seem all that convinced. The counselor in her wondered how he was taking all this.
