Jason sat in front of the comm terminal in the penthouse apartment he and Hannah shared. He 3as staring at a blank screen, running through avenues of approach and potential conversation routes in his head. Finally, he took a breath and tapped in a comm code.

A few minutes later, an older human woman’s face appeared. She was attractive, but her looks held a distinct edge… like a scalpel lying on an empty table. Her eyes were dark blue, and her black hair had silver steaks through it. But when she saw Jason’s face, she smiled a warm and friendly smile.

“Jason! Oh, I wasn’t expecting your call for a few more days! Hang on and I’ll go get your dad. Just a sec.” and she moved away. Jason took a breath and waited.

A few moments later, his mother reappeared with a man who looked like an older and slightly softer version of Jason. “Hey there, son! How are you? How’s the new job? I bet you are all-hands-on-deck after that statement from the Oed government. That is all anyone is talking about in the Diplomatic department. What is that Governor… B’Tren-Hyrushi, right?… what is he like? Seems shrewd, pulling off something like this at the perfect time. The Federation can’t really do-” and Jason held up his hand.

“Dad… in a minute, okay? I have something I need to talk to you and Mom about. Mom, have a seat will you?” She looked a bit curious, but pulled over a chair next to his father. “Ok… this sounds pretty major. What’s up?”

Jason looked over at Hannah and held out his hand to her, motioning her forward with the other.

Jason’s parents would like her or not, be excited or not, accept the pending baby or not. She couldn’t control how they would feel, but for the first time in weeks she was starting to feel more like herself. Hannah was excited to meet his parents. Oh it could go horribly bad, but that was okay. She had never met Daniel’s parents, never would have had an opportunity to do so, and she had never had the chance to actually introduce him to her parents. That made tonight unique and specific only to Jason. Even if it was bad, this was a real memory for them, not one made up or altered. That fact made Hannah happy. It was a life experience.

Hannah walked over toward him and took his hand. She sat as she looked at his parents and gave them a gentle but dazzling smile. She could see similarities between both his parents. “Hel..cough…” She was excited but apparently nervous as well. Her voice caught and she cleared her throat, embarrassed. She held onto his hand and kept her other still in his lap. “Hi. I’m Hannah.” She spoke with care, making sure she enunciated as clearly as possible, even though her ‘accent’ would always be heavily apparent.

Hannah

Jason’s parents simply sat for a long moment and stared at her before his mother said “Oh… um… hello, Hannah. I’m Jason’s mother, Danielle. And this is my husband, Jason’s Dad, Michael. Uh… excuse our surprise, Hannah. Jason has never really… so to what do we owe the pleasure of the introduction?” Jason looked at Hannah and took a breath, but he smiled at her. He looked back at the screen, still smiling, and said “So Hannah and I met a few years ago when I was still in Star Fleet, and we had a connection… but the job took us apart.” He looked at Hannah. “Hannah is in Star Fleet as well. She is the Assistant Chief Medical Officer for the Fleet Medical department here on Oed. Anyway… we ran into one another a few months back and reconnected. And, well…” he looked back at the screen.

“And we are going to have a baby.”
