((Smith Family Quarters, USS Gorkon))

::Groznin placed his PADD down on his bed and shuffled off it, he walked through to the adjoining bathroom and picked up Novas hairbrush which was on the side. He placed it in his pocket and walked out back into his bedroom, once again whistling too himself, he looked to his desk and realised Nova had also left a pile of hair bands on it, he laughed and walked over to pick them up.::

Computer: Incoming Call - USS Wall Street.

Smith: oO The Wall Street? I don’t know anyone on the Wall Street... oh... Oo

::He hesitated to answer it. His hand hovering over the monitor to click answer, he watched the black screen as the Starfleet ingnia spun in circles on it, all he could think about is why they were calling, last time they’d called they’d only wanted to see what ship he ended up on. The question why kept running through his head over and over again.::

Computer: Incoming Call - USS Wall Street.

::He closed his eyes and clenched Novas hair bands tightly, it was only because of her he was going to answer this call, she had helped him come to terms with what had happened between him and his parents, her words of advice, company and love she gived helped him through what he was still struggling with. He didn’t like talking about what had happened, but often found himself telling people he had just met about how he had adopted Jang and the aftermath. With a final feat of strength he pressed answer, his parents were on the other end of the call.::

Smith: Mum? Dad? Is everything ok?

::He watched as his mother nodded, it confused him, all Groznin could think about was why were they randomly calling him. He thought he heard a noise, a young girl in the background but he shook it off to be his imagination. His father looked like he was beginning to talk, so Groznin sat down at his desk and listened in.::

R.Smith: Son...

::Groznin did a double take, he hadn’t been called son by his father since DS9, when he wasn’t told he was no longer his parents son, He was know so confused he didn’t know what to think anymore, thinking he was dreaming he discreetly pinched himself on the leg, he wasn’t dreaming, this was real.::

R.Smith: We need to talk. Your mother and I have been talking and... we want to for starters apologise, what we did and said to you and Jang. ::His father stopped.:: It was wrong. We’re sorry son.

::Groznin was now in disbelief, his parents had apologised, for saying what they had said about Klingons, for disowning him, and everything in between, he wasn’t sure if this was some kind of sick practical joke or not. Needing to processes things Groznin stood up and placed his hands on his face, thinking for a moment.::

F.Smith: Groznin...

Smith: One minute mum. I need to process this.

::Groznin looked back down to the screen, and saw his mother nodding remorsefully and gently.::

F.Smith: There’s something else you need too know. ::whispering:: Darling come here.

::Groznin looked curiously at the screen, placing his hands on his desk leaning in closely to get a better look, He watched as a young girl, walked into view. A tear formed in the corner of his eye, could it be true that he had a little sister? He sat back down once again, and slid the chair in under the desk.::

R.Smith: This is your younger sister... Velax, ::To Velax:: say hello dear.

V.Smith: He-llo

F&R.Smith: Well Done! ::Over excitedly said in unison.::

::Groznin could only watch on as they congratulated his younger sister for doing so well with her speech, he wasn’t sure how old she was but if she was speaking she had to at least be a couple years old, tears of joy were now forming in both of Groznins eyes, he wiped them away, He looked back too his parents, he was still unsure as to if they were being genuine or not, and it worried him a little.::

Smith: I never stopped loving you guys you do know that don’t you? I just... you disowned me. I can’t just come back. It’s been over 5 years! I’m. Junior Grade Lieutenant now, I..

R.Smith: We know son, we didn’t expect you too even answer us. We can baby steps, were still here for another couple weeks, would you and Jang like to come and meet Velax, she is Jangs aunt after all. ::He laughed::

::Groznin and Frexal both also laughed, in the background Groznin could hear someone, he wasn’t sure who it was but they’d just walked into his quarters. His face grew curious and he spun his chair to see if he could hear who it was.::

::Muffled:: O’Rien: Groznin, you here? You’ve been gone ages.

::Groznin could tell who it was from the sound of their voice as they walked further into the quarters, he put up a finger to the monitor telling his parents he’d be back in one second. They nodded and kept quiet as he went out to talk to Nova quickly.::

O’Rien: Where have you been! You’ve been gone all day!

Smith: I’m so sorry, after the training with Bear I went for a drink, I then can back too get your hairbrush as I know you wanted it last night after your shower. But then I...

::Nova grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss.::

O’Rien: Learn when to shut up and kiss your girlfriend Groznin when she walks into your quarters. ::winking at him::

::Laughing with her Groznin took her hands, and quickly explained to her what had happened between him and his parents. She squeezed his hand tightly giving her support, she softly smiled which gave Groznin a boost of energy, it was odd that even Nova’s smile made Groznin feel safe and secure, he asked if she wouldn’t mind meeting them, she smiled and nodded. Hand in hand they walked into his bedroom, he told her too wait by the door as he walked back over to the monitor.::

Smith: Sorry about that, I’m back now.

F.Smith: Do you have company son? We can call you back.

::Groznin shook his head and smiled, he tried to think of what to say to introduce Nova too them, he scratched his head. He took a deep breath. He exhaled.::

Smith: There’s someone I want you too meet too.

::He gestured for Nova to come over.::

R.Smith: ::To Frexal:: Who does he want us too meet?

F.Smith: ::To Raymond:: No idea, but whoever it is, they must be important to Groznin.

::Groznin held out his arm and nova grabbed onto it before coming round the chair and perching on Groznins knee. Holding onto her hand for support, Groznin introduced her.::

Smith: Mum, Dad, Velax, feels weird saying that one.

::He laughed a little before under the desk nova slapped his hand, gentle enough it didn’t make a sound but somehow a skill she had mastered was to make the pain the same as if a brick was just dropped in his hand. He winced a very little gritting his teeth before going back to introduce Nova.::

Smith: This is my girlfriend. Nova.

::He smiled.::

O’Rien: It’s nice too meet you.

::Groznin watched as his mother almost broke down in tears, she grabbed onto her husbands arm and rested her head on it.::

F.Smith: Oh Groznin... you’re beautiful my dear.

::Slightly shocked by the statement Nova raised her left eyebrow a little, she followed it by a warm smile, she rested her head on Groznins, wrapping her arms around his neck for extra support.::

O’Rien: Thank you Mrs. Smith. You look very nice yourself. Can I thank you for raising such a wonderful, kind, brilliant man. I love your son. ::Kissing him on the cheek::

R.Smith: No, thank you... Nova was it. You’ve showed our son love, and he needed it. While he does have other family... we’ve not been the best parents. You seem to be important to Groznin. While we try and rebuild our relationship with him, I think I speak for both of us when I say I’d like to get to know you too.

::Groznin was unsure of what to say. He did want to try and rebuild his relationship with his parents, he was just unsure of how, or when it was going to happen. He looked up to Nova gave him a reassuring look, as he turned back to his parents.::

Smith: We’re on shore leave currently. So if you are free... would you like to meet for lunch? I can bring Jang too. We can have lunch.. as a family.

::It would be an awkward lunch, a broken family, 3 Hybrids, 2 humans and a Klingon. It sounded like a joke. It probably was somewhere. He watched his parents reaction and to his surprise it was actually positive. His mother smiled and nodded.::

F.Smith: That sounds great. I start my shore leave in a few days. Your father has been lucky and gotten a couple extra days. I’ll send you a message when we’ve found a place to eat. We can arrange a time. Does that sound ok?

::Smiling back Groznin nodded.::

Smith: It sounds wonderful. I guess i.. we’ll See you  then. Bye Mum. Dad.

F.Smith: Seen soon Groznin.

R.Smith: Love you son, see you soon. You too Nova.

V.Smith: Ba bye.

::Groznin smiled. Waving goodbye to his little sister, he’d longed for a younger sibling, he was just upset it hadn’t happened earlier in his life. If he could be there for her, protect her like a big brother, play games with her and sneak her snacks when their parents said no. He would’ve liked that. But thankfully she was still young and he had time to play, and be a big brother. Shortly after the screen returned to the insignia and Nova turned so she could see Groznins face.::

O’Rien: You did really well there, I could tell you were struggling.

Smith: Thank you too. Have I told you how much I love you before?

O’Rien: Once or twice. ::Winking::

::Groznin pulled her closer for a hug and a kiss , forgetting they were both on the chair it fell backwards and they both ended up on the floor. Hysterically laughing together Groznin grabbed hold of Nova’s hand and held it, Groznin rolled over to face her and she did the same, they both leaned in and kissed each other, Being in each other’s company was enough for them, and after Groznins long day he fell asleep on the floor, Nova moved in closer and placed his arm around her as she too closed her eyes and went to sleep.::
