Lieutenant Is’Kah Xiron - The Deed Is Done

[Is'Kah Xiron]

((Sickbay, Deck 5, USS Valkyrie))

Ghee’looth and Is’Kah returned to sickbay for the day their baby would be made. The petite woman’s stomach was in knots with nerves. There were so many things that could still go wrong, but they trusted Sylvie and her skills. It didn’t take long before they found Commander Doucet.

Is’Kah: Hello, Sylvie.

Xiron: Hello.

Doucet: Hello, Is’Kah, Ghee’looth. How are you feeling? Ready to get started?

Is’Kah: We’re ready.

Zha knew that Sylvie had picked up how nervous Ghee’looth was, and judging by that look, she wanted to make sure sh’za was ready.

Xiron:: Holding her antennae in a forced neutral position.:: Nervous but ready.

The smile Sylvie gave the pair was radiant before leading them to a side room.

Doucet: Excellent. Is’Kah, if you’ll lay down. Ghee, if you want to close the door for privacy…?

While Ghee’looth closed the door, Is’Kah hopped onto the biobed before lying down.

Xiron: Done.

When Ghee’looth approached the bed, Is’Kah took her hand, zhen stomach starting to get upset as zhen own nervousness hit.

Is’Kah: How long do you think it will take?

Doucet: It won’t take too long. I just need to take Is’Kah’s vitals first and then we can get started. Do you have any last minute questions or concerns before we do that?

Xiron: Do you babysit?::She attempted a joke to ease her tension.

The petite hybrid shot Ghee’looth a look but didn’t say anything about the joke, even if Sylvie was on the short list of people zha trusted to take care of zhen child.

Is’Kah: I don’t.

Sylvie chuckled and nodded.

Doucet: Alright, that’s good. Don’t be afraid to message me or pop in later if you can think of anything. Let’s get those vitals and then get to work. I’ll explain each bit as it comes up. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’ll be done before you know it!

Is’Kah: Alright.

Zha shifted until zha was in the correct position before Sylvie started taking zhen vitals.

Xiron:: Squeezing Is’Kah’s hand.:: We are so close, Zh’yi.

The petite Trill hybrid beamed at Ghee’looth, the love zha had for her projecting across their bond. They were ready to expand their family and their future.

Is’Kah: In ten months, you’ll get to be called a shreya.

Despite the happiness, Is’Kah still couldn’t fully calm zhen nervousness. From this moment on, zhen body would never be the same. Would the baby leach all the calcium out of zhen bones? What about other issues that might crop up? Could zhen body handle the pregnancy? These and more questions kept floating through zhen mind.

((After the procedure))

The petite hybrid didn’t know how to feel after Sylvie left the room. Is’Kah was sore from the poking and prodding, yet at the same time, joy made all of that inconsequential. The life that now resided in zhen pouch could be felt, even if zha couldn’t make telepathic contact yet.

Squeezing Ghee’looth’s hand, Is’Kah beamed at zhen partner before sitting up. Zhen body protested, something that zha expected would continue to do for the next ten months.

Is’Kah: Sh’za, we’re going to be parents.

Xiron: Response

Is’Kah: I know this wasn’t something you expected to happen to you.

Xiron: Response

After sliding off the bed, the petite Trill smiled at zhen partner.

Is’Kah: That makes me happy to hear, sh’za. ::beat:: Let’s go home, I’ll let you feel the baby’s lifeforce when we get there.

Zha said with a wink.

Xiron: Response
