Happy Birthday Tom

Private Message: @thebestparisyouhave

Happy birthday babe! Sorry I’m a day late. I blame you for keeping me busy all night. Love you!

[warpcorewarrior]

Obviously you did, Harry. Tom would have put a picture of the Delta Flyer. A Camaro. Himself. Me.

Happy Birthday Babe! See you at home tonight. Love you!

Can you tell us something about your parents?

My father is human and my mother is Klingon. 

Well, it’s something... I suppose you wanted a juicier detail, like my father hasn’t spoken to me in almost twenty years. Or that I had a dream -- or maybe not a dream -- that my mother is dead. 

Maybe you wanted something sweet? Like one of my favorite memories of my parents both speaking to me, saying the same thing. First one would say something in Standard, then my mother would repeat it in Klingon, and my father would repeat it in Spanish. That’s how they taught me the basics of three different languages when I was young.

Hello, any news from Alpha to share with your crew?

Not really. I think Tom’s family was pretty subdued after the news from the previous month. 

There were the races Voyager’s crew participated in. Everyone was congratulated for completing their runs. Tom’s parents were both shocked and proud of him for running the 10K.

[warpcorewarrior]

Chief, is it true? You really won 10K?

I did. It was so much fun to race again! Although I have to admit it was more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I’ve never competed in such a long distance race before. There’s the added bonus of knowing that I won that race while pregnant.

So what's the baby's due date? Ashmore said he'd bring in cupcakes to celebrate the good news!

Um… Babe, please don’t tell me you told someone about the pregnancy already? No, I know you didn’t. 

Did the Doctor? He wouldn’t. … Right?!Oh, I get it. This is your idea of a practical joke. Haha, very funny Thomas Eugene Paris.

Thanks for your hard work on this project. Let's jump in the holodeck today from 1030 until noon, then we can discuss the results over lunch. My treat.

Great job Lieutenant.

Chief Torres, I would like to schedule a holodeck session with you in odrder to present the results of processors cores improvement project. Seven finished it this weekend and it looks good. The original target was 3%, but she managed 4.83%. We wanted to reduce the risk of main computer shut down when we are under attack and all available power is transferred to the shields.

It is now ready for your final review and can be implemented directly.

I am available anytime.

Lt. Nicoletti.

You're working in sickbay this afternoon, right? Sure, ask the Doctor if it's not inconvenient. Sorry about Chakotay, but lunch with you in the break room was still good.

You didn't have time to tell me about "saving our quarters for tonight." Care to elaborate?

Hi, how is your day so far? Everything going okay on the bridge this morning? Janeway give you a hard time for being late? Sorry about that. 

I hope you’re having a great day. Dad.

[warpcorewarrior]

Maybe I am. Mommy sounds scary strange though. Maybe our child should call me B’Elanna. 

What are you doing for lunch? I could meet you somewhere, if you’re interested. Deck one break room, the mess hall, my office, our quarters... You just let me know. Daddy. Okay, “Daddy” is making me sappy. I’m going to have to hide for a few minutes to blink the moisture out of my eyes.

Ha! Nice try Flyboy. Saying I’m never moody. I know that’s a lie. I think you’re kissing up to me because of those post-run shower ideas of yours. Which I’m all for. 

I know it sounds strange, coming from me, but I think I might actually be... You’re right. I’ll try not to get my hopes up. 

I love you.

Ugh this wait is killing me. Less than twenty-four hours until we know. This weekend wasn’t so bad because we had the stream and the race and everything. But now. UGH!

In completely unrelated news, my team is on edge. And I definitely heard someone comment about my moodiness this morning. What the hell is that about? I haven’t been moody, right? Have I? Of course I haven’t. I just won a 10K, you made me pancakes last night, engines are at peak efficiency. Why would I possibly be in a bad mood?

How are you doing?

What qualities do you admire in your engineering team?

I admire their resourcefulness, always finding ways to repair the ship with damaged or alien parts. They are the hardest working people I've ever known. Their consideration for each other and for me means more than I can ever say.

I could go on, but I think this list is well rounded.

[warpcorewarrior]

I think you are kick ass

Thanks!

Now what are you standing around for? Get back to work!

[warpcorewarrior]

What the hell was that? Did you know it was going to be like that?? Why did I even have to go to sickbay today? 

“I’m sorry Lieutenant, it hasn’t been enough time yet to tell. If you did conceive a few days ago, we’ll be able to pick up the change in hormones and the lifesign of the baby next Thursday.” 

Next Thursday? You have got to be kidding me! Ugh!! Getting my hopes up, wasting my time. Targshit!

Hey babe, the Doctor told me he wants to have my weekly appointments every Thursday. And he said we’re doing the first one today. Sorry for the short notice, I just found out.

[warpcorewarrior]

The Doctor said he wants to make it regular from now on, before I go to work in the morning. But for today he would begrudgingly make an exception and see me in the afternoon. Tom, you should have heard the dramatic sighing over the comm. There was so much I though maybe the ventilation system was broken. 

I’m heading there at 1400. If you’re busy, you don’t have to come. But... it would be really nice to find out together. You know, if I’m even pregnant. 

I love you.
