{Starbase 364, officers lounge}

The Caitian just stared unblinking while Mira ate. After a few minutes Mira put her spoon down and said, "If you’re staying at the table with me, then you might as well order food."

He slowly shook his head no, still staring. it was about that time Vaytoc started to make this odd angry sound. There seemed to be something going on Mira hadn't understood. She raised her eyebrow. "I want to eat in peace. If there is anything else you need to talk to me about before you leave this table, do so now. If not, then leave."

"Ambassador M'Niras requires your presence," he told her firmly.

Mira slammed her spoon down "No!" she told him just as firmly. "This has nothing to do with a Starfleet matter and I am not required to deal with or speak to him. The last time I saw him was on my 15th birthday, when he dumped me off on Trill. There is nothing more to say."

With that said, Mira got up and walked out. if the jerk wasn't leaving, then she was. Vaytoc gave one last snarl before he followed her.

Just as she was getting in the Turbolift, Kronnelti's hand held the door from stopping so Zimia and Dianna could get in.

it was only four of them and Mira hadn't spoken ."My mate tells me there are times woman just need a hug. Is this one of those times?" He asked her.
Mira nodded and he opened his arms. it got a little odd when Zimia and Dianna hugged her and the lift opened its doors to a few people that more then likely thought they were a very odd group or something. Mira wasn't sure but, "I am starving. I have to find something to eat." Mira told them with a sigh.

Zimia frowned, "I thought you went to get food?"

Mira gave a little nod, not wanting to say much because Zimia was there and she told everyone what you said. There was also the whole Ensign/ commander thing that you couldn't tell them your whole life story because you were their commanding officer.

"I met someone that interrupted my meal. He wouldn't leave, so I did and without punching him in the face." Mira Added.

Kronnelti chuckled, but Dianna didn't know if she was being serious or teasing.

"Here, there is a table open." Kronnelti told them before sitting his Mate. Mira picked up a menu wondering if the beef stew was just as good here? The waiter came by with waters then asked what they would like. “Beef stew French fries and a Raktajino.”

Sloppy joe, french fries and blood wine. Dianna orders a Caesar salad, grilled chicken and unsweetened tea.

Kronnelti then whispered in Dianna's ear, she's very serious.

Zimia ordered chicken tenders with honey mustard, onion rings and a Pina colada.

After everyone ordered Mira smiled. “We should get what things you are going to want for the baby.”

I'd love that she said, you are the best.

Honey what do you think she would like?

I don't know half breeds usually are into what they would like.

Mira smiled, "Well luckily for you I have a cousin who has three little Trill/Klingons boys." Mira pulled out a PADD."She recommended a heavy-duty Crib. Their crib is made out of baakonite its a reinforced metal that Klingons make thier weapons out of. Her husband is very proud of it." Mira laughed "He said nothing can destroy it. Not that you will need it, but if it's good enough to make a Bat'leth, then it's good enough for a crib." Mira told them "They recommended baby carrier's my cousin likes the 'front pack' . While Her husband likes the backpack. He goes running with the boys. Then she gave a list of clothing and toys. Their oldest just started kindergarten and he got into his first fight. Because some klingon boy said "Hab SoSlI' Quch" to him and he broke the kid's nose. " Mira laughed

"Sorry Dianna it means 'Your mother has a smooth forehead!' it's a your mama curse but in this case, my cousin does not have klingon ridges she is Trill. So they had a long talk about it. Kal was adamant that his mother didn't have a smooth forhead. She has spots and his mother could kick the other kids' mom butt."

Mira shook her head laughing.

As she's laughing, Dianna felt the little one move around. Somebody is active she says to her belly.

Honey feel as she grabs Kronnelti's hand and places it on her tummy. She moves again and he couldn't believe it. He looks up at Mira and says she's moving.

Lunch came and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Mira let's go look at the baby stuff she said in excitement. I don't mind going, Zimia you coming too? Yes she said.

The bill came and Kronnelti placed his thumb on the scanner and paid for it all.

Ok ladies let's go shopping.


In the baby shop, "We are sure it's a girl?" Mira asked. Dianna nodded then took Mira's hand and placed it on her stomach "Wow...." She gave Dianna a smile "That's amazing." She had only held Kolar a few times....

"Pink!" Zimia said "every thing has to be pink."

Mira shook her head no, "it doesn't have to be. It could be a neutral color and just add some pink."
Mira looked at Dianna "What color do you want?"

Well let's do a neutral color now then when Kolana turns 1 then we can look at colors she said.

So when that happens Zimia you can choose the theme.

Zimia held two panda bears, one was blue and white and the other was pink and white. "Mira what does your son look like now." Zimia asked.

Mira just been about to pick up a blanket when she asked that. Her hand squeezed closed. "He is beautiful" Mira pulled out her PADD and found a photo. She handed it to Zimia.
"His eyes are blue much lighter then yours.....his hair is almost blonde." Zimia told her.
Taking the padd Mira frowned it was lighter then the last time. She flipped back to a younger image. "Odd" Mira put the PADD away.
"He kinda looks like...." Zimia started to say but Mira cut her off "It's not, so don't you start some rumors." Mira told her.

"ok" Zimia told her, putting the blue panda back but Zimia held on to the pink one.

It's ok Zimia as he pats her head, I know you didn't mean to.

What's next on the list? He asked

"We got bedding, still need the bed. I think the oval one will take up less space. What are your plans? Will Dianna stay here when the baby comes or come with us on missions?"

Honey what do you want to do? He asked

I will come she said, I don't want to be here and something happened to everyone.

I understand it's risky. Kronnelti interrupted I can turn off the alert in my room so it doesn't scare the baby he said.

Lets get the oval one, when it comes to the toys me and Zimia can go look at some together said Dianna.

Mira nodded "If we take the desk out of your quarters I think you could use that space for the baby. Let me talk to the engineers here it might take some time but we can come up with something. We might be able to weld a crib in the place of the desk. As for clothes I think we can skip new born human size." Mira picked out some cute ones. "She will not need toys at first but I don't think we are leaving without the ones Zimia seems to be holding." Mira chuckled "Ok let's get this stuff back to your quarters then I'll see about a bed for the ship. Then you just have to grab clothes when we change from base to ship."
