The morning was filled with cuddles and kisses.. from the baby, his belly was filled, and he seemed to want to look at everything.

Mira sighed. "Martok sucked me right into his game. Still, I think someone masterminded this whole scheme. I just can't figure out why. That worries me. This whole area is going to be a war zone soon. I would like to get back home before that happens." Mira bit her lip a nervous habit.

Kevin’s brow furrowed as he considered if he should share his clandestine meetings with the man in black. He didn’t want to add to Mira’s worries when there wasn’t enough evidence to determine if the man posed a threat. So far, he had been true to his stated purpose of safeguarding the Federation and hadn’t done anything to harm either Mira or Kolar. He had even given Kevin advanced warning of Mira’s plans else she might have departed without him. No, now was not the time to reveal that man’s existence. “Circles within circles,” Kevin muttered, “The sooner we are out of here the better.”

"Did you patch things up with the nanny? I know she attacked you, but she was defending our son. Still, if you can't get along with her. We can tell her to return home and you can find someone else. Your Kolars father and have a say in who is watching him. " Mira smiled."I probably wouldn't be too happy living with someone that stabbed me. "

“I don’t hold Tanom’s attack on me against her. As you say, she was defending Kolar against what she reasonably determined was a threat to him,” Kevin replied, We came to a verbal accord, more like a cease-fire than anything else. It is difficult to tell who trusts whom less. But if you trust her, that is enough for me until she proves otherwise.”

“As to a nanny, I can’t think of anyone else who you trust more than Tanom,” Kevin had a brief image of Zimia watching Kolar that caused him to shudder, “but I am concern about him being raised in the manner of Klingon children.

She watched Kolar play. "He understands Klingon better than Trill or Standard. I am guessing they spoke mostly Klingon around him."

Mira frowned, then gave a sigh. " I was really confused, then I found out about him. That was a messed up time. I knew the ship was no place to raise a baby. I didn't plan to leave the ship. So I gave him the name I thought would fit in his life with my cousin. Now that he will be living with us, I am thinking Kol Rodale Lance? K'lar never adopted him as I thought he would. I left his birth certificate last name blank for them. Starfleet, now that they have your DNA comparison, has already added your name with his on the birth certificate. He could just use Kol Rodale or add your last name. it's up to you."

“I think that it is right and proper for you to honor the love and respect that you have for your late husband,” Kevin admitted, “His first name should remain Kolar. But I am flattered that you would give him my surname.” Which wasn’t his real surname but the one that he had adopted to get into Star Fleet Academy. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, he though cynically.

Tanom came walking in and exchanged wary glances with Kevin. "I will feed him."

She picked Kol up, talking to him in Klingon. For some odd reason that ....bristled. She was having fun with Kol.

“So what now?” Kevin asked, “Do we break orbit or do you had affairs to tidy up?”

"I think we should break orbit as soon as possible. As soon as you can arrange it we go. I have this bad feeling and I don't want to be here anymore then is needed.
