CSO_Nash says:
<Andrea> :: Looks up at Kevin.:: Kevin: Slow down son. We seem to have arrived in plenty of time.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  It looks like Kevin has finally arrived.  When they get settled in some chairs, would you like to start the proceedings by calling each member up to give their gifts to the couple?

Host ADM-Alexander says:
XO:  Would you gather up the crew, we are almost ready to start here.
CEO_Terumo says:
::opens one eye:: XO: Hi! Well, I couldn't resist playing the lizard and just sitting here under the sun with a drink in hand. How are you doing? I've noticed Kevin just arrived with some people. Do you know who they are?
Host XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Of course, your will shall be done.
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  SO:  Just a water.

FCO_Stricker says:
::approaches the CO:: Greetings Captain
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: If we can have your attention, we would like to take the time to allow the happy couple to open their gifts.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: hands them both an ice cold water ...:: James : Yes sir I am...Nice to see you again, Uncle James!
Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Commander, good to see you, with the transfer I was afraid you wouldn't be able to make it.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
FCO:  We are ready to give the gifts, but I also have an announcement to make.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: moves to a nearby table after handing the Senior Nash his whiskey..sitting down and grinning.::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  May I have a moment first?
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  OPS:  What is going on here?  It looks like a baby shower?
FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Well this is my last day as a flyboy. I thought I'd say a few bad jokes to get them out of my system. ::Chuckles::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to the Admiral.::  All: But first, our gracious host would like a few words.  Admiral?
CSO_Nash says:
<James> SO: You keeping Kevin here in line?
CEO_Terumo says:
::hearing the CO, stands up lazily and approaches everybody else raising his glass to Kevin as he passes by him:: 
Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves toward the table the Doctor is at:: MO: Is this seat taken?
MO_Dane says:
::Hearing the announcement, begins to gather as ordered once more somewhat wondering what she was doing here.  Perhaps because there was a chance she'd be taking care of mother and child over the course of the pregnancy::
OPS_Nash says:
Brenda:  It is Mom, for me. Kevin and I are expecting.  ::grins::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
James: That would be Kyleigh's job....I just remind him when his goals exceed his abilities....
Host ADM-Alexander says:
ALL:  For those of you that do not know, FCO Stricker has been given the XO position on the Vesuvius.  ::turns and claps, then takes the pips out of the box and pins them on his collar::  Congratulations XO Stricker.
MO_Dane says:
XO: No not at all ::looks up and smiles:: Please have  a seat
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: starts clapping ecstatically..::

Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  If you would be so kind Tio... continue. ::she walks forward and takes her seat::
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  CSO/OPS:  You should have told us sooner.
MO_Dane says:
XO: Seems like this is turning out to be a good week for the crew.
OPS_Nash says:
::then focuses::  FCO: Yes Congratulations.
CSO_Nash says:
<Brenda>: I can't believe that they didn't. :: Looks toward Andrea and James.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: We could sure use one Doctor. I trust that you are having a good time?
MO_Dane says:
XO: Definitely. :: Nods and takes a sip of her drink.:: Always nice to get out of a busy sickbay.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Now it is my pleasure to present the first gift from myself.  If the happy couple could come to the gift corral?
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: I most certainly agree. I hope not to be back there for a while.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: takes a small sip of his whiskey...his last one for the night, truly enjoying himself.::
OPS_Nash says:
::follows the good and furry CO::
MO_Dane says:
XO: I won't take offense at that if you won't take offense when I say I hope not to see you there either ::Smiles::
CSO_Nash says:
<Andrea/James both> Kevin: You think we can't keep a secret. :: Both feign mock indignation.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Agreed. ::returns the smile::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
::looking at Kevin and Kyleigh and the description from Tio of his gift::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: puts his drink down and continues to watch the festivities.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Captain, can you hurry this up, we got a lot of gifts to go through. ::grinning::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Follows OPS up to the area in front.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO/ OPS: This one is from me.  It should prove quite useful in the months ahead.
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  ::thinks that if she'd known earlier, she would have brought something too::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks up at the CO and waits for Kyleigh to take the present.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: I wonder what he got them, I'm guessing a stuffed kitty.
MO_Dane says:
XO: Perhaps.... 
OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Thanks, I better not lift it considering.
CEO_Terumo says:
::overhears the XO and grins::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS: What is it?
CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the present and opens it.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
::looks over at the grinning Terumo:: CEO: Hey, why don't you join us over here Terumo. Quit being anti-social.
OPS_Nash says:
::turns to the ADM:: ADM:  It's a hand crafted crib.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS: It seems our Captain had the cat get his tongue! ::laughing::
OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Thanks Captain.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The CSO tilts the box so everyone can see the crib.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS/ CSO: It was my pleasure.  ::Bows slightly.::  XO: Commander, would you like to go next?
CSO_Nash says:
CO: Excellent workmanship, sir. We are honored.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  Yes Tio, very beautiful... did you do the craving yourself?
CEO_Terumo says:
::sits down next to the XO:: XO: Now, how can one top that?
OPS_Nash says:
::has a feeling that this child will be the most spoiled child in the universe::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Aye, it was all I could think of, but I'm pleased with the results.
Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Yes. ::gets up and walks over:: OPS/CSO: I know it's kinda big, but ::gets the large package:: It is a hand crafted rocking horse from Earth. I hope you like it.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Sets the crib down as all have gotten a look at it.::
OPS_Nash says:
::sees the rocking horse::  XO:  Trent, it's lovely, thank you.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the large package and sits it out in the middle of the aisle and opens it.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS/CSO: I hope for nothing but the best for your family, you deserve it.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
::seeing the gifts, she is glad her daughter isn't here to see them::
CSO_Nash says:
XO: Thank you Trent. That means a lot to us.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Commander, would you like to go next?
Host XO_Worthington says:
::returns to his table:: CEO: That is how. Ha ha ha. You know, from the heart.
FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Thank you very much
FCO_Stricker says:
All: I brought the blessed couple two different things.
OPS_Nash says:
<Steven>  ::whispers to his wife::   Brenda:  Don't worry, you get them a gift before they leave to parts unknown.  I know you.  You'll get it done somehow.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Turns his attention to the FCO.::
FCO_Stricker says:
All: First for the stress I got both of your a holodeck program. In this you can learn how to meditate with the great Vulcan spiritual masters.
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  Steven:  I know, Dear, I am already plotting.  I also might give then all Kyleigh's baby clothes as well.  And maybe plenty of new clothes too.
FCO_Stricker says:
All: And second for a bit of good luck you could say. A Mazuzza from Earth. It's a Jewish crucifix. It beings blessings to you home.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the holos and waits for the second part.::
OPS_Nash says:
<Steven>  Brenda:  See all better now.
OPS_Nash says:
<Brenda>  ::shushes her husband::
FCO_Stricker says:
All: And that's it, hope you like them.
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: A Vulcan holdeck program, I wonder if it is as boring as it sounds. ::said softly::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
FCO:  Very thoughtful gifts Commander.
OPS_Nash says:
FCO:  Thank you Commander.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: smiles as he stands up and looks at his two friends..:: CSO/OPS : Well, I guess it's my turn now...had to go to a lot of trouble to find this thing.. :: walks over and picks up a moderate sized box....wrapped a little hastily. ::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Takes the gift from the FCO.:: FCO: Thank you Commander. :: Raises hand in the Vulcan salute.:: FCO: Congratulations and peace and safe journeys.
OPS_Nash says:
SO:  I love the wrapping, so sheik.
FCO_Stricker says:
CSO: Thank you very much....I hope everything goes well. God bless you.
OPS_Nash says:
::smiles::
CSO_Nash says:
:: Grins to the SO.:: SO: What have we got.. :: Waits for the cake with a girl popping out of the top.::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: walks over to the pair and sets the box down in front of them...:: CSO/OPS:  Took me forever to find something suitable and durable enough to contain a Nash ....:: when they open the box they see a colorful and durable baby swing....complete with the Starfleet insignia....::
OPS_Nash says:
SO:  Now that impressed me, I never would have imagined that.  A Starfleet swing.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
OPS: Its never too late to instill good ideas in the younguns.
OPS_Nash says:
SO:  True, but no harm in letting them chose their own destinies.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Grins to the SO.:: SO: Versatile? What did you make it from. :: Looks at the rope in the swing and remembers one of the same color about 16 years ago holding someone to a tree.::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
CSO:  Something I have been hanging on to for a while....figured it should go to a good cause.
CSO_Nash says:
SO: It will believe me. Thank you Mark.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
CSO: No problem, Scotty.....your family...just be glad I didn't go with my first idea for the rope. :: smirks and moves back to his seat.::
CSO_Nash says:
<James> :: Nearly chokes on his drink as he sees the rope holding the swing  together.::
MO_Dane says:
::stands up:: All: Well I guess I'll go next.
MO_Dane says:
OPS/CSO:  Well I know this is supposed to be a baby shower.... but I thought perhaps you might be able to find use for this. ::hands over the small box, with several isolinear chips and a small booklet of what looks like gift certificates::  An authenticated holodeck recreation of Sensual Respites, Risa's premier spa.  For use later on they also happen to have an excellent nursery for mothers.  And nothings better for a baby than well 
MO_Dane says:
OPS/CSO:  And nothings better for a baby than well pampered parents.  Also four hours of holodeck time donated from the medical staff. ::The booklet contains such things as "Will take care of one midnight feeding" "Change one diaper" etc.::
OPS_Nash says:
::hugs the MO::  MO:  Thank you, this will came in handy.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: pats James's back as he recovers from nearly killing himself on his drink...:: James : Careful there Uncle J.....wouldn't do to have the Grandpa leave the party early...
MO_Dane says:
MO: Just try and remember this when your screaming at me to take the baby out now ! ::hugs back and grins::
CSO_Nash says:
MO: Thank you Doctor. :: Hands them to Kyleigh.:: OPS: Now we have to use these. Doctor's orders.
OPS_Nash says:
::chuckles::  MO:  I’ll do my best.
MO_Dane says:
OPS/CSO: Yes doctors orders ::takes her seat again::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The crew continue to watch as more gifts are given to the new parents, with the Admiral waiting until last to give hers.
OPS_Nash says:
::puts the MO's gift in her bag::
CSO_Nash says:
<James>:: Recovers.:: SO: Can't get rid of me that easily. Nice touch. You'll never let me and your Pa live that one down will ya?
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Interesting gifts. It looks like the Nashes will be spending a lot of time in the holodeck.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: I think you are the last, Ma'am.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
::standing she walks up next to Tio:  CO:  Thank you Tio...
OPS_Nash says:
::in waiting for the Admiral's gift with baited breath::
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: stops for a minute....but only for a minute...a good solid grin taking his face..:: James: Hazzard's Rule number 4 : Never let the opponent forget about old debts.
MO_Dane says:
XO: It's always nice to get the parents something and not just the baby.
CSO_Nash says:
:: Awaits what's next. Sees the Admiral approach the front.::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Well the parents will be getting a present alright, will be a few more months however.
CSO_Nash says:
Self: This one is going to take the party.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS/CSO:  For the both of you, whenever you are on Betazed, you are invited to use my guest house.  The little one should know what a "real house" feels like.  Also, the smaller gifts are things you will need for the newborn.  Lots of diapers, clothes, and a special stuff animal from T'Sara.
OPS_Nash says:
::takes the stuffed animal::  ADM:  Thank you, and make sure to give her a thank you hug from me.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  I will... she wanted to give you a tribble, but I didn't think you needed that headache as well!
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  Good plan.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: nearly chokes on his drink at the mention of Tribbles....trying hard not to laugh.::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS/CSO:  We will have all these transported up to your new quarters, which should be waiting for you.  I had a little pull with the OPS department... ::grinning at her other surprise::
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  I knew that was in the works for some reason.  Some of my staff was grinning at me.  So I knew something was up.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
CSO:  And by the way, if they are not to your liking... just let me know.  I had them add a "little" extra room, just in case.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  You mean someone spilled the beans?  ::putting a mock frown on her face::
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: Thank you Ma'am. To me the most practical are the best gifts of all. Now you give that young one of yours a special thank you.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
ALL:  Now let's have some more to eat and drink... this party is going to last the night!
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  No Ma'am, I know my staff very well.   I couldn't have asked for better people to work with.
CSO_Nash says:
ADM: I'm sure I'll have no problems with the accommodations. Thank you Ma'am.
Host ADM-Alexander says:
OPS:  Good.  I know they did their best to surprise you as well.  I believe there are some other surprises waiting for you in your new quarters.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: really starts to chuckle...setting his glass down before he drops it ::
OPS_Nash says:
ADM:  Understood.
OPS_Nash says:
::wishes she had some crackers to nibble on::
Host XO_Worthington says:
MO: Party all night. This should be interesting. Looks like Terumo is already partied out.
SO_Ens_Hazzard says:
:: moves over to the drink table and picks up a water...trying hard not to laugh too hard...::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
CO:  I have your new orders... ::handing him the padd:: If you have any questions, get with me later.
MO_Dane says:
XO: I think your right ::grins:: but I'm just getting started
CSO_Nash says:
:: Tunes into a thought about hunger and goes over to a table and gets some light crackers and some water.:: OPS: You look like you could use some of these. :: Hands her the crackers and water.::
OPS_Nash says:
::takes the items offered by her love::
Host ADM-Alexander says:
::leaving his side, she goes to talk with her crew, knowing they will soon be leaving for another assignment::
