After Jason did whatever it was he needed to do to the baby’s medical file, Hannah sat down and composed a quick message to Alexis. Alexis would not miss the subtle details that were not quite accurate to what she knew to be fact. She just had to hope that Alexis wouldn’t blurt anything out before she could talk to her. Hannah felt sick over it. Having to find ways to lie to everyone, to get others to lie for her. ‘Hey Nugget. I know you will want to know how I am so here is my medical check up. Talk soon.’ She attached the OB medical chart for Baby Asimina, unknown gender. Mother: Hannah Asimina, Father: Jason Reilly.
It took Alexis longervthan Hannah anticipated to respind. Hannah grinned, she hoped that meant Alexis was enjoying her honeymoon. Hannah hated she missed the wedding, but it wasn’t like Alexis actually planned anything. She was home when the comms went off. Hannah walked over to the console and glanced at Jason. “It’s Alexis.” She pressed the control to make the connection. Alexis appeared and began ti sign, Han…
Hannah interrupted her, beginning to sign rapidly. Alexis’ brows went up and she leaned forward slightly and then began to respond. Both men had seen Alexis and Hannah sign enough to realize this wasn’t FSL, but something else entirely.

Kane looked past Hannah and saw Reilly in the background at the same time Reilly saw him. Kane him a quick ‘Sup? jerk of the chin and Reilly shrugged and put his hands up in the universal Well, it is what it is gesture. Kane laughed and walked off to put clothes on before someone saw all of his tattoos.

Hannah spotted Solomon and the profile photo in his personnel record Daniel pulled didn’t really do the man justice. Hannah’s gaze travelled back to Alexis and she signed something, Alexis blushed but tried to shrug it off, Hannah started laughing. The exchange between the two men didn’t go unnoticed by the two women. The difference was, Alexis wasn’t surprised by it. Hannah was curious. The brief exchange about it, though no one but Alexis and Hannah understood the signs, was Hannah asking what that was about and Alexis stating how should she know about male social conventions. Hannah believed it.
The conversation continued. Some signs were recognizable as they were the same, and some, for those talented with language, might be intuited. The conversation ended. Alexis glanced at Reilly and then at Hannah. Are you happy? Hannah glanced behind her and then at Alexis, I really am.
I’m really hurt, Hannah, you didn’t tell me about him before.
I know Nugget. Some things are too precious to share though. I don’t think you would have understood back then, but I think you do now.
It was Alexis turn to look over at Solomon and back, I do, and you’re right. I wouldn’t have 3 years ago. So why did you send me this medical file? There is nothing there I can tell you that you can’t see for yourself. Or do you want a genetic analysis?
Ah, that was Alexis, all work. Hannah looked back at Jason and shrugged. Do you want to know? Like everything from gender to hair color, ear shape, most likely height, weight, eye color, if the baby is deaf or not?
Alexis and Hannah
Jason looked at her and shrugged. I do if you do. It might be good to know the last in advance so we can start preparing for things. But honestly, I just need to know that they are healthy. Happy and the rest we can address later. He moved so his back was to the screen and he signed And with the origin issue of the other guy, we might want to make sure nothing is off. and he moved into another room.
Kane watched and his eyes narrowed as he saw the back of Reilly. So something was up… ok, good to know.
Kane / Reilly
Hannah turned back to the screen and nodded. If you have time…
Of course I have time. You can send me both your D-N-A profiles and I can work up percentages and probabilities. OR you can take a fetal sample, but you can’t do that yourself Hannah. Get another doctor to do it, then send me the profile. Okay? Let me know when you send it.
Hannah started signing again, that other. Alexis answered and then the comms went dark.
