IDIC- A New World Order

Part 28 The Calm

Garak grinned and winked at Heather who looked on in shock. However, she did not say anything as Garak was dressed as a human so clearly he did not wish to be identified as Vulcan. There had to be an interesting story to be told here? She then recalled that Garak was now married to Adrianna and grinned of course. With all that had happened in the last months it had slipped her mind. Now that the fires were under control, she could begin to enjoy and participate in life once more.

"Come along my wife. We must not chance the human changing his mind." Martel said.

Garak grinned at this. He noted that Heather was following her bond-mate but like all the human women he knew was checking out the view. He chuckled softly enjoying this new form of amusement. He almost wished he had someone on Romulus who would enjoy hearing this. To bad it was a great joke on his distant kin." It would be wise to hurry. Sarek does not like Amanda having to wait."

Daniel laughed at that. "I can still hardly believe it how good he is for her."

"It is logical to please ones mate." Garak said fighting to keep a straight face and Daniel began to laugh. At least until he spotted T'Mara who clearly was not amused.

Back a the estate-

Amanda and Maria were busy setting the tables. It was going to be a great day. Amanda hummed as she set the flatware out. She looked around to check and ensure everything was ready. Sara came in carrying fresh flowers. It was going to be a perfect dinner. Amanda looked around her home and smiled. She still could not believe Sarek had bought her this magnificent home.

"Can I help any?" Kelly asked.

"Oh no, just have a seat. I suppose I should have had this all done earlier but… the truth is I thought it give us all a chance to talk without the men around." Amanda said with a grin.

"I see." Kelly said smiling she noted Adrianna was coming in carrying water glasses. "I suppose it must be hard to just relax when John, Sarek and Skon have so much business to conduct."

"I love my husband." Maria said with a grin "but he does have a one tract mind."

"Poor dear." Kelly teased.

"OK I concede a two tract mind." Maria said blushing. She was saved from saying anything else when T'Mara came in.

"Sarek has asked if you wish wine for this meal."

"Indeed, Red and white some ale as well. Felix and Farina should be arriving shortly. Remind him this is a family affair."

T'Mara's brow rose at that comment however, she did not comment as she slipped out.

"I see they are still getting used to you thinking of Felix and Farina as family?" Maria said.

"Yes, but I do believe it is helping relations. Surprisingly T'Lara and Farina have similar views in many areas. That has helped create a bridge between them." Amanda explained. "Felix loves hockey which has helped bond he Garak and Sarek as well. He has even managed to introduce Sarek to ice sailing witch amazingly my mate seems to enjoy watching."

"Well it definitely has to help with relations. Has Czara and Mariana arrived yet?" Kelly asked she was eager to speak to the women.

Amanda shook her had sadly. ""No unfortunately they were called back to Betazid. Some internal matter of importance that they had to address, business before pleasure it seems."

"I had looked forward to meeting them." Kelly replied.

In the wine room, Sarek carefully selected the beverages for the dinner. John Grayson was at his side casually looking over the selection. He was rather surprised and impressed as he noted several vintages.

Harrison took two of the bottles Sarek handed him and passed them to John. He was surprised to see Sarek pull a dust covered bottle out. If he did not know, better he would say Sarek seemed to almost smile. What did he have up his sleeve?

"I believe Garak will like this beverage." Sarek said with his lips slightly turned up.

"Why do I have a feeling you are going to enjoy this one?" John said grinning.

"Because I shall. Come let us join the ladies. We should also check on Garak, Rordan and Daniel. It would not do for them to become engrossed in that new video game Amanda bought them. They will begin to consume treats and not be hungry for dinner. That would disappoint Amanda and Sara who have worked hard on the dinner."

"You make Garak sound like a kid Sarek." John said laughing.

Sarek's brow rose showing that in this case at least he did consider Garak to be acting childish.

"Sarek remember Garak is only about 60 he is still very young." Harrison said with a grin.

"He is only 6.7 years younger then I am." Sarek replied.

"Yes but Romulans mature latter." John quipped.

This made Sarek's lips turn up in amusement. "I would not point that out John. Garak might not find it humorous."

John laughed and they headed out.
