Captain's Quarters - Natasha and Dante's wedding

Posted July 3, 2019, 11:18 p.m. by Lieutenant Natasha Knight (Doctor) (Kate O'Neill)

Natasha stood in the mirror adjusting the veil for the tenth time. The material was so sheer it looked almost transparent. It had been a gift from Dante’s mother and grandmother. The first time it had been on her head, Dante had been pulled away on an emergency. The second attempt it had never left the box because she had needed emergency surgery and missed the wedding. Now it was three times a charm and she was dressed looking at herself in the mirror imagining her perfect day.

The three times a charm joke had been used early on in their relationship. Everything for them that was good seemed only to come on the third try. Their first two dates had ended in disaster with Dante’s ex-girlfriend, Ashley Madison, showing up in one and Daye breaking her leg on a hike to Mt. Etna on their second date. Then came the ship’s debacle with them serving on the cadet cruise together followed by the USS Shangra La. This would have been perfect for the three times a charm with both of them spending time on the Outpost yet they missed each other’s posting rotation. It took another fifteen years for them to find the third charm of Dante getting the Saracen. The list could go on and on but three was always their perfect number. Three meant everything was going to be okay.

Now Natasha stood in what would be her and Dante’s bedroom for the third time dressed and ready to be his bride.

“Dante,” Natasha yelled looking at the door to their bedroom. She knew he was busy in the other room getting the last things ready for their trip. She was in charge of the clothes, he was in charge of actually leaving the ship. Shore leave for a month involved a lot more than just having someone sign off on the paperwork. Plus the last time she checked he was on with Kelly and when those two got on a comm call they were like an old married couple or two old men playing chess in the park. “Dante I need to talk to you,” she said arranging the veil so that it was laying perfectly on her head.
