"Hugh, how is he?" Skylar asked as she entered the room.

"He's in and out and his entire brain has been taking over by white matter," he replied before he noticed how pale she was, "Are you doing alright?"

Skylar shrugged, "I've been sick off an one for the past day or so, wanna just give me a once over with bloodwork?"

"Of course," he replied moving forward to take a blood sample from her, "Take a seat and maybe close your eyes while I run this."

Skylar nodded as she sat down on one of the hospital beds hoping the rest of the crew was successful in figuring out what was going on.

Time passed and Skylar began to fade to sleep until Hugh tapped her shoulder, "Skylar, sorry to wake you."

She shook her head, "No, it's no problem. Did my blood work show anything to explain what's going on with me?" she asked, hoping for a quick virus she could get over quickly.

"I'm glad you're sitting down," he replied as he moved his finger across the screen in his hands, "Your levels are good but your HCG is high which indicates to me that you are pregnant," he revealed.

Skylar closed her eyes, she had just gotten through to Gabriel, "Are you sure?" she asked, not upset about the baby itself but the potential for it to ruin her relationship.

"I ran it three times just to be sure," he replied, "Congratulations?" he asked before continuing, "I can get you a patch for the nausea so you'll be able to get back to your normal self but is there anything else you need?" he asked, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"I need you to say it was a virus," she replied, still trying to wrap her mind around the news, "I can't tell Gabriel because he and I just got where we are and I don't know how a baby fits into that picture, if it even does. Can you do that for me?" she asked.

"Of course," Hugh replied, "This is your medical record and I can't reveal it unless you authorize me to. Do you want the patch?"

"Please yes," she replied, "I can not do my work in any way the way I feel. Slap it on so I can go figure out what's going on."

Hugh nodded, placing a patch on her upper shoulder, "It's max dosage so if it doesn't work then I don't have another option."

"Thank you," she replied before she stood from the bed to go to Lorca and figure out where they were and what plan they might have come up with.

Skylar walked right into Lorca's ready room because she knew he was expecting her. She found him talking to Burnham.

"How are you feeling?" he asked when he saw her.

"I'm good now," Skylar replied, "It was just a virus. Have we figured out how we're going to get home?" she asked, ready to get into action now that the nausea no longer plagued her.

"We are going to act as our counterparts in this world as their Discovery disappeared when ours arrived," Michael began, "Another ship went to our world and if we can get on one of their ships then we can use the data to get home."

Skylar's eyes widened, "So, what's our play to get on the ship?"

"Tilly is the Captain here and I am believed dead," Michael continued, "killed by Lorca but we believe we can take back my ship the Shenzhou under the guise that he didn't kill me and I tracked him across the galaxy to bring him back and make him pay."

"Turns out my mirror self is not a very good guy," Lorca added, "We are about to get everyone in character so that we can sell this."

Skylar nodded, "Where is my counterpart?"

"She was on the Discovery as head of security," Lorca replied with the raise of an eyebrow.

"That is very unlike this me," Skylar laughed, "It looks like I'm going with you two then to make sure no one harms you."

Lorca began to shake his head but he knew she'd win the argument so he nodded, "That isn't a bad idea especially since Burnham has some concerns regarding Tyler's state of mind. Go get ready," he ordered.

Skylar nodded as she left the room and prepared for her journey to the Shenzhou while she weighed the pros and cons of telling Gabriel her news, this wasn't the most ideal time.

Skylar pulled up the file on her mirror self and saw that their Skylar wore her wavy hair straight and had bangs. She wasn't sure about the look but she had to match so she got to work until she looked exactly like the photo of her counterpart.

Once she was done, she left her room and headed back to Lorca's, knowing this may be their last moment alone for awhile.

Skylar walked into his room surprised to see him out of uniform in a black tee, jacket and normal pants, "I like that look on you," she said announcing her presence before adding, "Although, there will always be something irresistible about a man in uniform."

He turned to look at her, his face unable to hide his surprise at her appearance, "Bangs look good on you," he finally commented.

She shook her head and moved toward him, straddling him once she reached him, "We aren't going to be alone again for awhile so I just wanted to take advantage of that," she whispered, leaning into his ear before she kissed it, pulling his earlobe into her lips, smiling as she heard his breath catch.

"Shouldn't we wait until you feel better?" he asked, his hands resting on her hips.

"I told you that I'm all good," she replied as she eased back before placing her lips to his while he allowed his hands to travel up and grasp her face on both sides, deepening the kiss.

She sat back, "I read about what happens to prisoners on this Earth and I don't want you put into an agonizer," she revealed one of the concerns currently bouncing around in her mind.

"I can handle it," he replied simply before pulling her close once more, "Don't ruin our moment before we go to a place where we may not see each other for days."

"You make a good point," she smiled beginning their kiss once more.
