Captain Mary Bartowski had been born on planet Kronos or Qo'noS, her parents dying when she was only an infant had shaped her upbringing being raised by a Vulcan and his Romulan wife. In 2478, she married young Starfleet engineer Stephen James Bartowski in a simple ceremony by their closest friends and family. A year later, she bore him a daughter named Eleanor after his mother. Two years after, their son Charles was born, it was a happy life until she was called out on a mission that lasted most of their formative years something she later regretted immensely.

''We tracked Shaw to an M class planet about two days from here at Warp five,'' Sarah said staring out into the vastness of space. Her future mother-in-law was a little intimidating at first glance and the reputation was not unfounded, she was at least two inches taller than the blond science officer, had some twenty pounds on her. Mary had once been an agent of Section 31 like she was bringing the most vile criminals to justice.

''I´m sorry about earlier, I should have trusted your judgment.'' Mary said apologetically staring at her son´s fiancee. The USS Enterprise had barely made out of a battle between a Cardassian fleet of warbirds and some very angry Romulans. They were tracking the treacherous Augment only known as Shaw, the man responsible for the attempted assassination on Admiral Beckman. Chief Security Officer, John Casey had become obsessed with finding the snake, the half Vulcan veteran soldier found his trigger finger itchy.

''Its fine, no harm done, we´re okay.'' Sarah responded before an awkward silence fell between the two women who loved Chuck the most. ''Chuck wants to do a traditional Klingon wedding.''

At this Mary did a double take, Klingon weddings were something very unique amongst the many cultures of the Federation. It was a highly ritualized ceremony, resembling an opera. Klingon warriors beating their drums received the couple as the Lady of the Great House of the groom recited the traditional story of the Klingon creation, in which the Klingon male and female were created and joined together and rose up against their gods. After the couple recited their vows, swearing to unite against all their opponents, the guests attacked them with ceremonial weapons, the ma'Stakas.

The groom's Tawi'Yan presented the couple with bat'leths as they did mock battle with each other in representation of the struggle of the male and female Klingon hearts against one another. Klingons could also be wed in a shorter, informal ceremony in which the two participants repeated an oath and then kissed. This ceremony could be performed by the Klingon equivalent of a justice of the peace, or the vow could be taken privately, legally constituting marriage by mutual consent.

''Oh Chuck,'' Mary struggled to contain her laughter.

Chuck´s familiar voice came out of her combadge.

''Captain, the Warp Engine has been secured. How should we proceed?'' he asked, the engineer was so formal when on duty that´s why she picked the half-Klingon to be her Chief Engineer.

''I´ll be in the Bridge shortly.'' Mary said she tapped the combadge.

''Understood.''

''Let´s back to work.'' she winked at Sarah.

It was just another day in the Enterprise.
