IDIC- A New World

Part 4 (Resting and Realizations)

Charbaal smiled at his new son. The boy was perfect in every way. He had a healthy son and a beautiful wife whom loved him very much. He leaned against his cane and stroked the boys face. He was everything he could want. Already he forgot that this baby was not his own. The adoption ceremony had gone off well and he was well pleased. He sighed and limped out of the room glancing over at his wife. Both of them needed to rest. The birth had been hard on her and she was exhausted still. In a way Charbaal was glad he could not do more then hold her for the moment. She would feel no pressure and seek to heal. In his mind they had a lifetime to love and he would be patient.

However for the moment he had work to do. He slipped out of the room and went to his office. He had to check up on the back log of reports from his agents. The one that most concerned him was Commander Garak. Garak was walking a thin line. Charbaal was very concerned about him. It was going to be a difficult thing to separate his loyalties. If Garak had been any other he would dispatch an agent to terminate him. However Charball trusted Garak implicitly. The commander was a rare Romulan a man of true honor. One that Charbaal almost considered a friend. Of course he would need to be watched and his reports verified but his new connection to the Vulcan first family was just too important to dismiss. Yes, Garak would be left in place at least until he stepped across the line.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Garak could not believe how calm Sarek was. Over and over new shocking information came to light. He looked at his wife and Amanda and stepped back.

"Ok ladies anything else we should know? These little bombshells are beginning to give me an ulcer and gray hair."

Adrianna laughed and said "Well you never asked!"

That got her a glare from both males.

"Alright, alright we will level with you. Amanda, Jamie, Heather maybe we should show them the family tree."

Jamie chuckled and said "An outline of our investments and other connections as well might calm my son's temper. Really Garak stop being so petulant you are acting like it was a deliberate attempt to make your life complicated."

"Oh really Mother, it is making like crazy for both Sarek and I. Only he has better control then I do. Seriously mother this complication will have me walking a thin line and it is getting thinner every day!"

The women laughed not taking his problems seriously.

"Just remember son we are all family and I think even your people can relate to the complications that always causes."

Sarek's brow rose amusement clear. "Indeed with humans family is complicated."

"Sarek you are the master of understatement. " Garak said as he walked over to see what more curves his wife, mother and cousin would toss at his life. A simple assignment only a few years and you will have a family and power. Admiral Charaal I do not know if I should send my thanks to you or shoot you for this. Garak thought.
