USS Cherokee 10409.26  Getting to know you, Part 1
Host CMO-Troi says:
The Cherokee crew are home, safe and sound.  The birth of the Nash twins has come, but another crew member has just announced she is giving birth.  The question is now, how many?

Host CMO-Troi says:
::Looking over the scans that Ferdinant gave her.::
CSO_Nash says:
::Sitting in the private room that OPS was moved to.  Awaiting visitors and taking time to marvel at the babies while giving OPS some rest.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO/OPS:  Congratulations to you both.  The offspring appear quite healthy.
OPS_Nash says:
::Looking at the two little miracles in her arms.::   CO:  They are.
CSO_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir, that they are, and thank you.  Although they do seem to have a great curiosity about you, Sir.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Opens the door to the Nash's delivery room, letting T'Lin enter in front of her before walking in himself.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks up to Kyleigh and gives her a hug.::  OPS:  How are you doing, Kyleigh?
CEO_Ilianor says:
::In between wiping away some excess tears, he stumbles down the corridor towards the Infirmary, and crashes into the door.::  Door:  Hello, door, howarrrrr you?
OPS_Nash says:
::Looks up and sees T'Lin.::  CNS:  I am doing great.   Please, meet  Liam and Kiandra.  ::Points to them respectfully.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Hears a stumble and frowns, turning to everyone.::  ALL:  I am going to check that out.  You girls, get your gossip on.  Sorry to leave you in the middle, Scotty, Captain.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CMO Ferdinant:  How many did you say you counted?  ::Raising her eyebrows.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Walks outside and looks to see what is going on.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  They are so cute, Kyleigh.  Did you hear I am going to be a mommy, and Hazzard a daddy?
CEO_Ilianor says:
<Door> ::In the CEO's mind.::  CEO:  You shall not pass!
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
ACTION:  The twins seem to be fascinated with the Captain's voice.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Grumbles, as he pushes himself off the door.::  Self:  Figures.
OPS_Nash says:
::Looks at her.::  CNS:  So the rumors are true, congrats.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs as he watches the CEO.::  Self:  Oh Lord, he's more juiced up then a warp core on meltdown.  ::Walks up and taps the CEO on the shoulder.::  CEO:  Hey partner, you gonna be all right?
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Whispers in OPS ear.::  OPS:  The doctor said there's like five of them in there.  ::Makes a funny face.::
OPS_Nash says:
::Stunned::  CNS:  F-F-F-Five?
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks up from his padd.::  Starr:  5.  But I'm not sure about that anymore.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::He leans forward again, and places his hand on the keypad.::  Keypad:  Ah, what's this, what's this.  ::Slams on the keypad a few times.::  Hrm, must-must, must be broken.  Huuuuhh?  ::He jerks back suddenly, and looks up, as he sees the CTO standing behind him.::  CTO:  Oh, it's you.
CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  Yeah, I think we will be a little busy.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps back just a bit, letting the others in.::
CSO_Nash says:
CNS:  You guys are gonna.  ::Grabs T'Lin and hugs her.::  CNS:  Congrats.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Well, I am surprised you didn't count 9.  ::Grinning at him.::  How long have you been out of the academy?
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  A little busy.  Now that's an understatement.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Shrugs and smiles.::  CEO:  Yep, and you're Adahn.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Notices the odor of liquor on him and hits the access code to the door, opening it.::  CEO:  Come on, Buddy.  You look like you need some fresh air and a LOT of water.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks away from Starr.::  CMO Starr:  A week.  I'm still to graduate.  In a few months.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Hugs the CSO back.::  CSO:  Yes, but the doctor said there are five little babies in there.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Well, considering this is a cross-species birth, I can see why you came to that conclusion.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Leans against the CTO's shoulder.::  CTO:  Adahn, Adahn, noooo, not me, I just pretend to be him.  Hobby of mine.  Tee-hee, you thought I was Adahn, you're funny. ::Squints, as the door to Sickbay opens, and the bright lights pour out.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  Five?  That's a good size litter, congratulations.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Yes, I think we will be busy.
CSO_Nash says:
CNS:  5, T'Lin?  How's the father to be.  I bet you're both a wreck.  But congratulations, nonetheless.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CMO Starr:  What do you think, Doctor?
CNS_T`Lin says:
CSO:  Well I think once we both get past the shock, I think we will be okay.  I think I am getting my tubes tied after all of this though.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Shakes his head as he helps the CEO onto the biobed inside.::  CEO:  Okay, you're blitzed.  Tell you what.  Why don't you relax, take a nap.  You want T'Lin to see you like this?
CNS_T`Lin says:
ALL:  But enough about me.  Let's have a look at these babies.
OPS_Nash says:
::Notices that the twins keep wanting to look toward the Captain.::
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
::Leans over and whispers, then points out the difference in her opinion and his.::  CMO Ferdinant:  See?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS:  Oh, wait, what am I thinking?  Five isn't a normal number for a human litter, or even mostly human.
CSO_Nash says:
CNS:  I don't blame you.  And here I thought 2 were going to be rough.
CSO_Nash says:
::Holds Liam who seems to have taken a fascination with T'Lin's ears.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CO:  Definitely not.  We are going to have our hands full.  ::Picks up Liam, noticing he needs a diaper change.::  OPS/CSO: May I?
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Mumbles.::  CMO Starr:  Yes, yes, I see now.  We better go tell them.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Let the crew visit for a while.  Anyway, I think I saw the proud papa leave.  Telling them once is enough.  I don't like fainting fathers on my hands!
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Scrunches up his face, as he twists about.::  CTO:  But I don't want to....  ::Tries to get off the biobed.::  ... Blitzed?  Well, of course I'm blitzed, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to... to... T'Lin?  No.... no, T'Lin should not see me like this.  But she has eyes... eyes everywhere, man! Gotta watch yourself...  ::Leans back.::
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Sure.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Gently pushes his shoulder back on the biobed, trying to offer him a friendly presence.::  CEO:  Never got the chance to thank you properly for taking care of T'Lin while I was gone, not to mention the beat down you gave ol' Galmod.  Your a good man.  T'Lin thinks of you as a brother.  That makes you family.   You ever need anything, tell me.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Takes Liam from the CSO, and walks him over to the changing table.  Begins to take the diaper off, forgetting he's a little boy.  Liam showers her.::  Liam:  Oh my!  I have got to remember to get this right.
CSO_Nash says:
::Chuckles as he sees Liam shower T'Lin.::  CNS:  Welcome to the family.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CMO Starr:  I .. I'll break the news to them then.  ::Sighs.::  As soon as I can catch them alone again anyway.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Excuse me, I think we have a delirious patient in sickbay.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Taps the com console.::  *CMO Starr*:  Lt Hazzard to Doctor Starr.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
::Walks in behind the CTO::  CTO:  Yes, Mr. Hazzard?
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Grabs a towel and wipes off and finishes changing Liam.  Holds him up on her shoulder as he starts to fall asleep.::  OPS:  He is so cute, Kyleigh.  I can not wait.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CSO:  I have got to start remembering to make diaper changes a little quicker.
CSO_Nash says:
CNS:  Aye.  That you do.  It took me a couple times to get it right also.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
::Goes over to the table to get a de-toxic remedy for the alcohol the CEO ingested.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Jumps and looks startled as he turns around.::  CMO Starr:  Cheese and Crackers, Doc!  Don't do that.  Gonna give me a coronary.  Adahn over here had a bit too much to drink.  I don't want him to get in any trouble with the Captain.  Could you give him a hand while I check in with the Nash's?
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  He is simply adorable and let us not forget little Kiandra here.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  Hold still for a moment.  This should do the trick in about 30 seconds.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CTO:  He will be sober very quickly.  By all means, I can handle him.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Grabs a pillow and throws it over his face.::  CTO:  Whatever you say, dude.  ::Closes his eyes for a moment, and watches as CMO Starr walks closer.::  CMO Starr: Who are you?  Get away from me.  No!  ::Rolls off the biobed, and tries to get back on his feet.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  Yes, she is absolutely adorable.  ::Gives Liam back to the CSO, and picks up Kiandra, cuddling her.::
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
::Since she couldn't get his neck, she injects him in the rear end.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Sighs, moving to keep the CEO still so that the Doctor can give him the shot.::  CEO:  Lieutenant, knock it off!
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Exits the office and heads for the Nash family's room.::
CSO_Nash says:
::Takes Liam.::  CNS:  Now she should be a little bit easier to change, but watch out for the spitting up.::
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  If you don't calm down, I can make sure you make the grade of Ensign again.  ::Frowns at him.::  Up to you.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow, as he feels the hypospray.::  CMO Starr:  But I hardly know ya, doctor!  ::He rests himself on the bulkhead, as the effects of the detox treatment start to take effect.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CSO:  I think I got that one covered.  ::Points to the burping pad.::  CSO: It is all coming back to me now.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Enters the room and looks around.::
CSO_Nash says:
CNS:  Just making sure.::  Watches Kiandra go for the CNS's ears as well.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  She is so tiny.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  I was feeling sorry for you CEO, but since you are obnoxious, you can keep the hangover.  You deserve it.
CTO_Hazzard says:
CEO:  You just take a few minutes to compose yourself, man.  Then come in and spend some time with us.  We're your friends.  ::Shoots a thankful look to the doctor before leaving to rejoin the CNS and others.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Picks up a PADD, reviewing initial repair and re-supply estimates as they come in.::
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Oh she'll be all right.  Just give her some time.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Frowns, as he rubs his temples.::  CMO Starr:  Gee, thanks, doc, I owe you one.  ::Rolls his eyes, as he tries to regain his bearings.::   Self:  What just happened?
CNS_T`Lin says:
OPS:  Look at these little fingers and toes.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Walks into the delivery room with his trademark goofy grin.::  ALL:  Hey, I heard that someone actually had twins over here?
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  For some reason, you decided to drink the Starbase dry.
OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  That's all I have been looking at.  ::Smiles.::
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Walks over to T'Lin, still not speaking up.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Hi, honey.  Look what I have.  ::Shows him little Kiandra.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Notices the doctor standing behind them.::  CMO Ferdinant: Hi, doctor.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Practically melts as he walks over and coos at the little Nash baby.::  CNS:  She's so cute.  Looks like they take after their mother then.  ::Shoots the CSO a smirk.::
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Smirks, and stares at the CMO Starr for a few seconds, in silence.::  CMO Starr:  Yep, that sounds like me all right.  Now, if you will excuse me.  ::Moves himself onto the biobed, and tries to smother himself with a pillow.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
ALL:  You know, you wouldn't think so, but she is really heavy.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks to Kyleigh and smiles.::  OPS:  Mind if I hold her for a sec?
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  I know you are hurting, you have been broadcasting that very clearly, mentally.  I am a counselor as well.  Would you like to talk about it?
OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  Just don't break her.  ::Smiles.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  You want to hold her?
CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  Hey bub, thanks for that jab, but I'm too happy to let that remark get to me.  And yes she does take after her mother in that aspect.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Chuckles and holds the tiny little girl in his arms, cradling her gently as he coos at her.::  CNS:  Might as well get some practice.  OPS:  She's absolutely radiant, Lieutenant.
CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO:  Hey, what are friends for?
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles.::  CNS:  Hello.  ::Looks from CTO to CNS.::  CNS/CTO:  Could I have a word with you two?  In private?
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks immediately concerned at the worried face of the doctor.  Walks up to the OPS and gently returns her daughter to her.::  CMO Ferdinant:  Sure thing, Doc...
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Turns around to face the CMO Ferdinant.:  CMO Ferdinant:  Well sure, doctor.
CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  Yes.  And congrats by the way.  I hear you're gonna have some little feet trampling around as well.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Lowers the pillow slightly and snickers.::  CMO Starr:  Uh, yeah.  SURE.  ::Rolls his eyes and covers his face with the pillow again.::
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Smiles a little.::  CNS/CTO:  Alrighty.  ::Points at a door to the side.::  Let's go there?  ::Heads for the door:::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Follows the doctor outside the room.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Punches the CSO in the shoulder and grins.::  CSO:  Yep, looks like you get to be the best man, for once.  ::Grins and follows the Doctor and CNS.::
CSO_Nash says:
::Accepts the jab and smiles as they leave.  Hearing the sound of wedding bells in the future.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  What's up, Doc?
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Groans and hugs the CNS.::  CNS:  That was awful, hon.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Giggles.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Everything okay?
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  I don't know you very well, but I can make that an order from your Captain.  Would you prefer speaking to your CNS from your ship instead?
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks down at his feet.::  CNS/CTO:  No, it's not quite okay.  I'm not sure how to tell you, but... somehow, when scanning you, something went wrong with processing, and the computer displayed five life signs.  That is incorrect.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Looks up.::  CMO Starr:  Actually, you don't know me at all.  So don't even...  ::Sighs.::  Oh, forget it.  Fine, you're right.  Fine.  ::Sits up.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Please do not tell me there are more in there.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Gently wraps an arm around the CNS, trying to offer support.::
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  Fine what, Ilianor?
CTO_Hazzard says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Tell it to us straight, Doc.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  The babies are all right, are they not?
CSO_Nash says:
::Continues to hold the children, letting OPS get some much needed rest.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a worried look on her face.::
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Shakes head.::  CNS/CTO:  As I said, something went wrong.  For some reason, the scanners registered five, where in reality, and late confirmed by echoscopic analysis, as well as spectral analysis of the scans, there are only three babies in there.
CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO Starr:  Fine I will talk to you.  I will tell you whatever you want me to tell.  I'll tell you why I drank myself silly, why my entire life has been one mess-up after another, why even when I try to turn my life around, there's always something to hold me back.  Where do you want me to start?  Actually, I really thought that I was going to move on.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Leans on the CTO, not sure if she is relieved or not.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Gently kisses the CNS.::
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  Cat got your tongue Ilianor?
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  And they .. and they are .. okay, right?
CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Well, we can get through this, as long as I got you, hon.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gives the CTO a hug.::
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Yes, they are in good health.  We will, however, have to keep a close eye on their condition, since multiple children, especially interspecies, is always dangerous.
CTO_Hazzard says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Doc, is they're anything we can do to cut down the risk of injury to T'Lin during the pregnancy, so that she can deliver the children safely.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO/OPS:  Does it feel different now that it's happened?
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Frowns a little, holding her stomach.::  CMO Ferdinant:  I understand.  I will make the necessary appointments.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Gives the CNS a kiss on the cheek and grins.::  CNS:  I'll be right back, got to talk to the Captain for a bit.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks up at Hazzard.::  CNS:  Right now, there's no need.  There will always be risks, but right now, it wouldn't be wise to use medicine yet.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Okay, Mark.  I will catch you later.  CMO Ferdinant:  What about the anti-rejection medicines I have been receiving?
CSO_Nash says:
CO:  It is the most exhilarating and scary feeling in the universe.  It was scary while she was carrying and exhilarating to at least be here for the delivery.  I'm just glad that we were able to find out about Devar and still make it back here in time.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CMO Starr:  Doc, if you don't get rid of this hangover right now.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Returns to the delivery room and walks up to the Captain, standing at attention.::  CO:  Captain Ayidee, Lieutenant Jg. Mark Hazzard requesting permission to return to full duty.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  I want you to talk to someone you will be comfortable with, and I understand you are friends with T'Lin.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Cringes slightly at the mention of Devar, but passes it off.::  CSO: As was I.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Laughs.::  CMO Starr:  Yes, I am friends with T'Lin.  But, somehow I don't think she will be able to help me this time.  Plus, I don't want to upset her.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Granted Lieutenant, but before we go any further, there is something we need to do.  Is T'Lin just outside the door?
CSO_Nash says:
CO:  I wish to offer you and the crew my personal thanks for making it possible.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  The hangover stays, you earned it, and I want you to experience every moment of it, Lt.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Looks puzzled for a second and nods.::  CO:  Yes, Sir.  She's talking with that squirrelly doc in the other room.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO:  It was our duty, I just wish it had never happened.
CSO_Nash says:
CO:  As do I, but we needed to clear ourselves.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Just a second.  ::Raises voice a bit.::  CNS/CMO Ferdinant:  Doctor, Counselor, could you come in here a second?
CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO:  That scumbag better hope I never get my hands on him.  I owe him for what his little crony did to me.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Nods.::  CNS:  Yes, that's the only thing we still need to take.  But we're going to build that down soon.
CEO_Ilianor says:
CMO Starr:  What?  You're not violating some sort of a sense of medical ethics or something?  ::Smirks, and pushes himself off the biobed.::  CMO Starr:  Actually, I think I will see her right now.  Excuse me, Doctor.
CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  I'm sure you'll get your chance, tiger.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CMO Ferdinant:  Excuse me a minute, Doctor.  ::Walks into the room where the Captain is.::  CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Stands at attention.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Be careful with that, Lieutenant Mark.  Vengeance is not something to base your life on, even a part of it.  That's what caused all this to begin with.
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks up at the Captain, and heads for the group.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*:  Lieutenant, are you still in Sickbay?
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Nods to the CO, reluctantly though.::  CO:  Aye, Sir.  But what's going on?
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Winces as he hears the sharp tone of the Captain's voice as modulated by his communicator.::  *CO*:  Yes, Sir, I am.  Do you need me?
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CEO:  Lt., I have been patient with you, but you are trying me beyond my even temper.  ::Walks behind him, then hears his CO comming him.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles.::  CTO:  Just a bit of ship's business, nothing to worry about.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CEO*:  If you could come to the Nash's room for a minute, we have a quick piece of ship's business to attend to.
CSO_Nash says:
::Sits back in the chair with the twins, feeding them formula and listening to the Captain, who for the moment has the twins attention as well.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grins and shoots the CNS a wink.::  CNS:  Looks like we have some news of our own, don't we, hon?
OPS_Nash says:
::Is letting exhaustion take her into a peaceful sleep.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Whispers.::  CTO:  Yes, we do.  And when it is time, we will tell them there are only 3 buns in the oven.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Grunts.::  *CO*:  Aye, Sir, I'm on my way.  ::Nods to CMO Starr.::  CMO Starr:  Doctor, excuse me.  Oh, if you're having trouble with your temper, maybe you should take a break or something.  Just a thought.  ::Winks, and slowly walks down the corridor towards the Nash's room.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Grin and whispers back.::  CNS:  Actually I was thinking about asking the Captain to serve as our preacher or justice.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Whispers.::  CTO:  Sure.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Hobbles down, cursing under his breath for the hangover, and other things, before entering the room, and he tries to straighten himself.::  CO:  Captain.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO:  Thanks.  All:  If I can have everyone's attention for a second?
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Nods to the CEO as he enters.::  CO:  Well everyone is here Cap'n.  What's on your mind, Sir?
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Looks at the CEO hobbling into the room, but stands at attention.  Thinks she smells liquor on the CEO's breath.::
CSO_Nash says:
::Hears the Captain and sees the twins turn their heads to follow his voice.::  Self:  My they are very attentive to him.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Lieutenant, orders came through on our trip back, and they concern you.  It is with great honor that I hereby promote you to the rank of full Lieutenant, with all the privileges and responsibilities that go with the rank.  Congratulations, Lieutenant.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::His jaw hangs open, unable to really speak as he hears the Captain's words.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CTO:  Mark!  Congratulations.  I guess I do not outrank you anymore.  ::Gives the CTO a hug.::
OPS_Nash says:
::Perks up a little when she heard that someone got a promotion, she opens her eyes to see who.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Hugs back, his dropped jaw look turning to a big grin as the news finally sinks in.::  CO:  Thank you, Sir.  Thank you.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  You earned it, Lieutenant.  No need to thank me.
CSO_Nash says:
::Places the twins in their beds facing the assembled crew.  Walks over and slaps the CTO on the shoulders.::  CTO:  Congratulations, Lieutenant Hazzard.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Turns to the CSO and grins.::  CSO:  Catching up to you, old man.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Remains standing at attention, his lips pressed together tight, with a slight, annoyed smile on his face.::  Thinks to Self:  I need a pillow.  ::Looks up again.::  CTO: Congratulations.
CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  You'll get there when I'm Commodore or Rear Admiral.  But Congrats.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
CO:  Captain, I need to speak with you and your CNS for a moment.
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Clears his voice and looks to the CO.::  CO:  Captain, I understand we'll be receiving a few new shuttles to replace the ones damaged during your battle with Devar.  I want to ask if its possible to rename one of them.
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Walks over to the CEO and puts her hand on his shoulder.::  CEO: What's up, Adahn?  You look funny.  You been drinking?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  I think I see where you're going with this, but go ahead.  CMO Starr: Just a minute, please.
Host CMO-TroiStarr says:
::Nods and steps back, watching Ilianor speaking to the CNS.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Sir, I think Shuttlecraft D'amato would be a fitting show of respect to a hero.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  I'll see what I can do about that.  Good thinking.
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Slowly turns his head to face the CNS.::  CNS:  Ah, a better question would be "You been drinking MUCH?"  And the answer would be, hell yeah, as evidenced by my massive hangover, left unattended to as per the ever-infinite wisdom of Dr. Troi-Starr.  And how are you feeling, T'Lin?
CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  One last request, Sir. I heard that the Captain of a starship has the right to serve as justice of the peace.
CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  I am doing well, considering there are only 3 babies inside me, and not 5.  Why are you drinking?  What is bothering you?
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  Yes, that's right.  An ancient tradition dating back to several planet's surface fleet.
CSO_Nash says:
::Looks at the CTO.::  CTO:  Very traditional and very much deserved.
CTO_Hazzard says:
CO:  Sir, if T'Lin will have me, I want to marry her, more than anything else in the world.  Would... would you?
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Raises an eyebrow.::  CNS:  Three babies?  ::Smiles.::  Wow, congratulations!  You must be...  you must be awfully excited.
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO:  I would be honored.  Let me know and we'll get things set up.
CSO_Nash says:
CTO:  And if we happen to be here for the Ceremony, the Admiral throws quite a shin-dig.  Just something for you to think about.  OPS:  Right hunnie?
CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  Well .. relieved there are no more than three.  But enough about me.  I am concerned about my friend, Adahn.  Should we go somewhere and talk privately?
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief and looks to T'Lin, walking over to her and taking his Starfleet Academy ring, blushing a little as he taps her shoulder.::
Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO Starr:  Sorry Doctor, what was it you needed?
OPS_Nash says:
::Looks up, sleepily.::  CSO:  Yeah, right.  ::Fighting the fatigue monster.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
CEO:  This will have to wait a moment, but I want to speak with you.  Do not go away.  ::Looks at the CTO, making a big swallow.::
CEO_Ilianor says:
CNS:  No worries.  ::Winks, as he sees the CTO approaching.   The CNS steps away, as he himself starts walking off in the opposite direction.::
CMO_Ferdinant says:
::Looks a bit distracted, still not recovered from the shock of his wrong diagnosis.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Bends down to one knee and smiles, looking up into her eyes.::  CNS:  You're more than any man can ever hope to deserve, and I wish I could say I was worthy of your love, but I know that you complete me more than anything I ever thought could be possible.  I love you, T'Lin.  Would you marry me?
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Starts to cry.  Wiping her eyes, she responds.::  CTO:  Yes, Mark.  ::Bends down to hug him.::
CTO_Hazzard says:
::Lets a tear fall down his cheek as he slips the ring on her finger, hugging her tightly and chuckling.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Whispers in his ear.::  CTO:  I love you.
CTO_Hazzard says:
CNS:  Now all I have to do is tell my parents.  I love you too, T'Lin, with all my heart, all my soul.
OPS_Nash says:
::Doesn't fight to stay awake and she falls asleep.::
CSO_Nash says:
::Goes back over to the twins and moves them closer to OPS bed, so that he can keep a watch on all three of them as they sleep.::
CEO_Ilianor says:
::Walks out, without stopping, out the doors of the Sickbay, back into the corridors of SB33.::
CNS_T`Lin says:
::Gets a scared look on her face as she suddenly realizes she has to break the news to her parents.::
