Tanom was back on board the ship, and Kevin had taken them out of orbit. Mira looked out the view at Q'onoS getting smaller.
She sighed in relief. Martok wasn't very happy with her for leaving so soon. He was having I dinner party and wanted her to attend. If she knew him, there was more than a dinner going on, and she wasn't interested.

"Hey, little one, how about we get some sleep then relieve Daddy from sitting in that chair all night." Mira grinned as he started repeating Da da over and over.

Mira sang a few songs while rocking him. He relaxed quickly and fell asleep. Mira curled her body around Kolar on the bed. She didn't plan to sleep every night with him. Only until they got him a crib so he wouldn't fall out of bed and get hurt.

Some time during the night, Mira heard this ungodly sound that had her sitting up in bed. It sounded like a wounded animal. looking around in the dark room, she saw Tanom sleeping in a chair. What the crap!? she had a bed in with the crew, but if she sounded like that, well ... She couldn't wake the woman to go sleep in her own bed. The whole crew wouldn't get any sleep.

Mira snagged a pillow and blanket. Half tempted to suffocate the old woman with them. Tanom had been harping at her for an hour before Mira went to sleep now this.....

Picking Kolar up, she motioned for Vaytoc to follow her. Walking into the flight deck, Mira tossed down the blanket and pillow on the deck. "I can't sleep in my room." She settled Kolar on the blanket. At least she wouldn't have to worry about him falling off the bed.

She went over and kissed Kevin. "I am so not having her sleep in my quarters when we get back at the base. We need to get her quarters someplace by someone we don't like." she chuckled as she curled up on the blanket. "That woman needs to chill."

"You were right, by the way....Martok tried to pull me into a dinner with the houses heads." Mira rolled her eyes. “ I didn't buy It for one moment. I told him he wasn't getting anything else out of me this trip. Now we just need to make up excuses why we can't come back. At least for a long time." She smiled at him. "Wake me up when you get tired. You can hug Kolar, and I'll sit at the Helm. I do remember how to, you know?"

She blew him a kiss before settling down to sleep. Thinking she should have brought a 2nd blanket. It was cold in here.

The trip home wouldn't be as nerve-racking, since they knew Kolar was safe, but it was going to be a long few weeks dealing with Tanom.
