scene five The rescue
Sixteen months after they had been abandoned on the planet the Enterprise finally returned. It was early in the morning during the summer months. T'Pol was lying in bed with Trip rubbing her abdomen.
It had gotten quite large as her pregnancy had progressed. She was six months along now. She heard the chirping of her communicator. She was stunned to hear it now. She and Charles had given up any hope that the Enterprise would ever be returning for them.
"Charles, wake up. The communicator is chirping. I think someone is trying to contact us." moaned T'Pol as she shook Trip awake.
"I'm tired T'Pol, let me sleep. I promise I will do it with you later before I go to work." replied Trip groggily.
"Charles! The communicator, get it out of the bureau. It could be Star Fleet or a Vulcan ship coming for us." whined T'Pol.
"No one is coming for us, T'Pol. You know that. We have been abandoned and forgotten. Please let me sleep." replied Trip as he closed his eyes.
"After you get the communicator." ordered T'Pol.
Trip moaned as he got up and went over to the bureau and found the communicator. He opened it up and bellowed "Tucker here!" as he continued to walk back to bed.
"Commander Tucker, this is the Enterprise, Ensign Hoshi Sato speaking." replied a beautiful voice from the box.
Trip sat down on the bed stunned. He couldn't believe it after all this time. The Enterprise was back.
"Is Sub Commander T'Pol with you Sir?" asked the strange, but familiar voice.
"Hoshi, is that really you?" asked Trip. He had to be dreaming.
"Yes Sir. Captain Archer is sending a shuttle craft down to pick you and Sub Commander T'Pol up. She is there isn't she Commander?" the voice asked again.
"Yeah she is Hoshi. How soon will you be here? It's early in the morning here. We usually don't get out of bed for another couple of hours." replied Trip sleepily.
"How about in two hours then Sir." asked the voice.
"That will be fine Hoshi. Now if you don't mind, I'm going back to bed." moaned Trip.
"Yes Sir." said the voice.
Trip climb back into bed and closed his eyes. T'Pol looked at him intently before she whacked him.
"What was that for T'Pol?" asked Trip rubbing his arm.
"We have to get up and get ready to go." replied T'Pol.
"We waited sixteen months for them T'Pol, they can wait a few hours for us." replied Trip as he closed his eyes again.
"Charles! Get up! The house is a mess and I have to get all my things and the baby's things ready. I need you to cook me breakfast and clean up the yard." wailed T'Pol.
Trip opened his eyes as he began to think about T'Pol and her emotions. In the beginning it was great to finally see the mask removed from her face and see how wonderful and beautiful she could truly be.
But lately with her hormones going wacky, her emotions were all over the place. Well at least back on the Enterprise he would be able to escape her for a few hours everyday in engineering.
