PNPC Samantha Richards - Catching Up
Charlotte Brexis
((Corridor, USS constitution-B))
While toting the twins around in a wagon trying to get a feel for the new ship she found herself on, Sam saw a familiar face.
Richards: Indrid?! ::Waving like a maniac:: Indrid Yirah?!
Yirah: Y-Yes?
She had no idea that the Trill she had met not long ago and got a matching tattoo with, was stationed on the Constitution.
Richards: ::Pointing to herself:: Samantha Richards! It’s so good to see you. I just transferred here. ::pointing between the babies:: With my kids.
Yirah: You didn’t have kids last time we saw each other.
Her smile didn’t falter. It was such a relief to know someone on board and instantly felt a connection. Something that spanned further than the matching tattoos they share in remembrance of Frontier Day.
Richards: ::Chuckling lightly:: Yeah… These two happened not long after you and I met.
Yirah: Wow, it’s so good to see you too! I can’t believe it!
Richards: It’s really good to see a familiar face around here.
Indrid came up to give Sam a hug before looking towards the babies in the Wagon.
Yirah: Are they twin- ::he facepalmed:: Oh of course they’re twins.
Richards: ::A little confused:: Uh… yep. Twins. Two babies.
Yirah: Trills give first birth at only twelve weeks. Then the fetus is placed in one of the parents’ pouches. It’s not uncommon for Trill to have multiple children in a single year. For example my own older brother and sister are only four months apart in age.
She made a valiant effort to keep her face neutral as she imagined how different her pregnancy could have been had she procreated with someone less human-like than a Betazoid. She pushed the thoughts away and tilted her head to the side.
Richards: That’s really fascinating. And a little terrifying if I’m being honest.
Yirah: Hang on– :: he looked up from the babies to her:: You transferred her? As in, you now live on the Conny?
She nodded and smiled.
Richards: Yeah. I’ve been a few places since we last spoke. I was on Amity Station for some time. Then I moved to the Artemis to be with the babies father. ::Shaking her head:: He’s uh… missing now and I needed a change. So here I am now.
Sam wasn’t about to get too in detail with how much of a crap show her life was. So she kept things light.
Yirah: Response
Richards: I’m really excited to be here. I’ve heard some really great things about the science department here.
Yirah: Response
Sam gestured towards the Brew Continuum and smiled.
Richards: Were you just about to get a drink? I could join you and we can catch up if you’re interested?
Yirah: Response
