Mission: Starbase 364
Location: Star base 364
Timeline: Current

(Dianna's personal room)

USS Chuck Norris had finally docked and Dianna's padd was chirping but she was showering, so Zimia opened it up.


(Docking chief)

Just as requested Mrs Kronnelti
The USS Chuck Norris has returned and docked at bay 1.

Zimia grinned. They were all back! "Daddys home, " she told Spike. She jumped up and started to pick out 2 of Dianna's prettiest outfits. and laid them on the bed. Yes, she nodded one of these two. She yelled from the other side of the door, "Got to hurry. Your surprise is coming." Then she looked around "Yes quarters are clean. Get the Dianna dressed then, " Zimia shrugged she would have to make herself scarce for a few hours, knowing them.

Dianna came out of the shower, she has to use multiple towels as her belly has grown bigger.

Zimia what are you talking about by a surprise?

Then Dianna saw two different outfits on the bed.... She took the dress on the left and put it on. Thankfully she bought clothing that's stretchy for pregnant women.

Zimia walked into the room as she took is dressed up.

Hun what's the special occasion? She asked

Zima grinned then handed her the PADD. "surprise!" Zimia was almost hoping from foot to foot.

She took the padd and saw that the docking chief sent her a message from her request, their back she thought but is he still orange? She thought.

Zimia you ready?

Zimia nodded rapidly in excitement.

It didn't take long to meet with the docking chief, preparations are complete ma'am, your husband should be leaving the ship in just a few minutes.

Zimia frowned "Odd the Doctor said they would start treatment before they came back. In that 3 days they should have been back to normal. Mira got really sick from the treatments. Maybe being klingon its taking longer?" Zimia shrugged. "I'll take spike to Mira's If he isn't back to himself." Zimia offered.

Just before Zimia had a chance to leave Spike went running towards the ship as he leaped into Kronnelti as he saw him walking out.

Hey ok boy you missed me he said as he scratched spike all over.

After the scratches he looked up and saw Dianna and Zimia standing there by the chief, she started crying as her husband was back to normal and finally back.

He dropped his bags and ran to Dianna to give her a hug and kiss. After that he gave Zimia a hug and asked how they were when he was gone?

Zimia grinned "Great we got baby's room just the way Dianna wants it and she started on the quarters. " Zimia had been really busy. Dianna couldn't seem to sit still until the baby's room was done. Something about nesting. She had no idea that Dianna was having an egg like bird.

Oh no he laughed nesting means she's getting the room ready for when the baby comes.

Zimia nodded "I was wondering " She laughed "So it is a baby! I made sure she went to her check ups with the doctor and we had healthy meals. But she said we had to have dessert every night. SO we did." Zima nodded.

Desserts huh, I've read that pregnant women can have cravings of specific things and can also be very moody said Kronnelti.

Zimia nodded her head in agreement until she saw Dianna raise an eye. Zimia's head shaking quickly turned to no. "Not your mate Kronnelti she is as sweet and stable as a Saint."

Dianna had that look in her eye, but quickly apologized because Kronnelti is right.

Once my pregnancy is done things will be different she said.

Kronnelti understood that, is anybody hungry? He asked as he is very hungry.

Zimia you pick the place he said.

Zimia thought about it then looked over a Dianna "Grubbs. It has everything So it should have whatever Dianna will want to eat by the time we get there." She had been changing her mind alot lately.

Let's go there he said.

He called over for a lift and it didn't take long as a rickshaw pulled up and took the three to Grubbs.

Outside the server brought them to a table and Dianna ordered some iced tea with a salad, steak and potatoes.

Kronnelti ordered the same but with blood wine and Zimia ordered something simple mac n cheese with grilled chicken and sweet tea.

Zimia's PADD beeped she read it and frowned. Send a message back "Chin yea that doesn't sound fun at all. You go on the mission."

"Thanks alot I have a date tonight." Chin told her.

"I am not going where there are creepy crawlies around. " Zimia told him. They she chuckled, when he said fine. "Mira likes stuff like that." She said helpfully.

"Yea, she left the base. see ya in a few days, Blue." Chin told her.

Zimia frowned. "So where did Mira go?" She asked Kronnelti.

Well if she left and didn't tell me then that's not good but if it's something personal then she felt that it's not my business and didn't want to worry me especially that last mission said Kronnelti.

My responsibility is now Dianna, the baby and you he said.

I know I keep saying different names for her but we haven't really decided on one.

A strong female name doesn't have to be klingon either Dianna responded.

Shouldn't you be worried about her Hun she said, I mean she's your adopted sister. Kronnelti replied she would have told me besides her and Kevin are together.

I want to be here with you two and it's going to be a bit before the Norris goes back out again.

Zimia nodded, "I bet Rodriguez knows. I swear no one has any privacy with him in comms. But yea she would have said something. Chin thought she went by herself but if Kevin is with her. She is fine."

He pulled his padd out and sent Mira a message.

(From Kronnelti)

Be careful and be safe where ever you are going.

After everybody finishes dinner the waiter asks if anyone would like dessert?

Kronnelti nodded sure.

Dianna asks for a slice of death by chocolate cake

Zimia got a slice of carrot cake

And Kronnelti ordered tiramisu.

Zimia's head cocked.. what's tiramisu? She asked

He said Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made of ladyfinger pastries dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone and flavoured with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.

Zimia's eyes widened as she slowly put her hands behind her back "I don't want to eat a lady's fingers." She shook her head.

The desserts came and Kronnelti scooped some up and showed her what ladyfingers look like, see it's just a pastry not actually made from fingers he chuckled.

Try it it's actually very good and a little sweet.

She took the spoon with the tiramisu and tried it, her eyes widened. Zimia's face melted in pleasure as she couldn't believe something like this could be so good.

The bill came and Kronnelti placed his thumb on the padd, is there anything else you ladies like to do?

Zimia shook her head she was stuffed. "Since Mira isn't here. I think I'll use her hot tub." She looked over at Dianna "Did you need to get anything while we are out?"

She orders spike some gahg to go and she pays for it as it's a treat for him.

I believe your not supposed to use her hot tub he said BUT I'll keep it our secret.

Let's go I need much time with Dianna he said.

They all go back to their rooms to end the night their own way. Spike slobbering over his treat..
