Approaching Miss Rousseau's biobed, he saw she was waking up. He took over from the medic.
Smiling at her, he said, in what he hoped was a gentle voice, "Miss Rousseau, how are you feeling, now?" As he said this, he ran his scanner over her.
Her mouth felt cottony and tacky. �I�d like a shot of whiskey, but I�d settle for a glass of water,� Gaby rasped and moved up on the pillows. She felt crushed by the weight of her loss � no, she had to quit thinking that way. D�ghor had survived worse; he�d survive this, too.
"I think we can manage a glass of water."
�Thank you,� she mumbled gratefully to the Chief and gulped down most of the water. �Is everything ok?� the question was hesitant, full of fear for her child.
"Everything's fine with your child."
Gaby blew out the breath she�d been holding and felt her shoulders sag. �Has there been any word from the Captain � any news at all about the mission?� It would have been easy to be consumed with her concerns, but Gaby was also worried about the away team. The Captain�s people were down there risking their lives to save others � people he cared very much for.
"No, not yet. We just have to wait. I certainly hope everything will be alright with your husband."
�As do I,� she whispered and sipped at her water.
"Ah, may I ask how you and he met?"
A wistful smile spread slowly across her face. �A piece of his ship fell off and landed on my club, destroying part of it,� her eyes gazed off into space and a short laugh escaped. �I was furious to say the least and stormed past Starfleet security and everyone else to confront him. Can you imagine that?� her eyes moved back to Benton.

�I threw my shoe at him and realized too late that I�d stepped into the lion�s den. Me and my temper,� her laugh was bittersweet. �I think I fell in love with him that first moment our eyes met. I kept finding excuses to see him, to spend time with him, even if it was fighting over something, at least we were together. I had a friend sneak me aboard his ship when he left � I just couldn�t bear the thought of life without him . . .� Gaby�s voice trailed off.
