S’Raal settled himself into a deckchair and looked out over the infinity pool to the ocean far below at the bottom of the plunging cliff the hotel was built into on this side. Overcoming a brief moment of vertigo he watched his svelte wife play with Meryidiyth in the pool.T’Pon’s regimen to recover her shape after giving birth had been very Vulcan and very effective but S’Raal’s trained doctors eyes could still see the telltale signs of a woman who had given birth. He smiled as Meryidiyth giggled and splashed the water while being held in her mother’s arms.
Meryidiyth’s astonishing growth spurt in the womb and beyond had steadily settled into a normal developmental rate for which S’Raal was grateful on the other hand Meryidiyth’s mental and psionic development were still decidedly abnormal. However, today S’Raal was a dad not a doctor and he put it all aside and looked over the idyllic scene of the pool, the view and the bar/restaurant. He sighed in contentment and relaxed.

“Quite the happy family Doctor Moonshadow” A voice came from behind S’Raal. Benjamin Grey stood there, he was wearing swimming shorts and a shirt unbuttoned all the way, out of his uniform he was not as thin, he had the build of a swimmer. In one hand he had a glass filled with dark liquid, around his neck hung a pendant, S’Raal was one of the few medical staff in the know that said pendant had something that numbed the youngish Chief Medical Officers unnaturally keen sense of smell. “It’s good to see Meryidiyth in such a joyous state”

S’Raal grinned from ear to ear, “Quite the happy family indeed Dr Grey”. He shielded his eyes from the sun as he looked up at the man. “This is a touch of paradise we all really needed. Do you have any plans for your R&R?”.

Benjamin squatted so S’Raal wouldn’t have to crane his neck as much and so Ben wouldn’t have to look so far down “Not really, I wanted to walk around the hotel, perhaps see some sights.” He said with a smile “I wonder if they have any farm animals here” He said mostly to himself “I think I’ll also find somewhere quiet to find whatever they call a pint here.” He shook his drink “Have you found any family entertainment here?” He asked.

S’Raal’s golden eyes glowed as he whipped out an old style paper pamphlet from its resting place next to his reclining deck chair. “They have everything you can think of and more, amusement park, sauna. kiddy ball pits, bowling alley, trampoline complex and the list goes on. Strangely, no holodecks. “.
Benjamin nodded, but who would need a Holodeck on a place like this.
S’Raal continued scanning, “Looks like there are settlements all over the planet with other attractions as well… butterfly park, safari tour, horse treks, that might be the place to find the farm animals you’re looking for, can’t see any Old English Pubs but considering this list I wouldn’t be surprised”. S’Raal sighed contentedly, “I think I could retire here” he said with a chuckle.

Ben answered the chuckle with a laugh of his own “As good a place as any to retire I suppose” He said looking at the child playing in the water, his feelings regarding Moonshadows family were always a mixture of joy, sadness, and shame that he managed to cover decently well behind his smile “When I was a lad I grew up on a farm, almost became a veterinarian exclusively. Perhaps that’s as good a retirement plan as any other”

“True,” S’Raal said quietly, “A veterinarian you say? Now that’s a coincidence, I had the same thoughts but was stopped dead in my tracks when ever the thought of euthanasia came up… just couldn’t face the look on a kids face…”
T’Pon threw Meryidiyth up and caught her again as she hit the water with squeals of delight. It was obvious to those that knew them that they communicated in ways beyond the norm. Every now and again Meryidiyth would touch her mother’s face and become momentarily still and intent followed always by a secret smile matched and mirrored by T’Pon’s own smile.

Ben looked at the two women splashing in the water and smiled, the smile turned sardonic as he turned back to S’Raal “It was a rare thing on my farm having to put down an animal, mostly old age or disease gone too far to cure. Never a thing to enjoy but still necessary” He gave himself a good shake “Well I did get my veterinarian studies out of the way before coming to the Athena” He chuckled and looked back at T’Pon and the child, for a moment he felt a pain in his side, it wasn’t a real pain but a memory he had chosen to keep, absentmindedly he rubbed his side “I trust Meryidiyth is fine” He asked before taking a sip of his drink resisting the urge to down the whole thing.
