Mission: Misson 1 - Rebirth
Location: Ready room
Timeline: 26th january 2395

It had been several months of shoreleave for the crew of the Wolff. With a six month refit, it had given many of the crew plenty of time to visit homes and families and spend some time off of the job.

Having spent the last few months in their native home of Japan, both Mikoto Misaka and Touma Kamijou were bound to return to the ship.
"So, apparently there's been a change of command and now Taliserra is now in big chair." Mikoto said as they stepped off the rear ramp of the shuttle. "You really don't think she'll notice unless we tell her?" she asked her cheeks blushing slightly.

Touma couldn't help but smile. "She might, she might not. Lets just see." he said as he linked arms with her and they made their way across the shuttlebay and into the corridor still dressed in their casual civilian clothes.

"Welcome back Lieutenants." Came a voice as Miranda stepped around the corner to confront them.

"Thanks" Touma replied with a smile. "I don't suppose that the Commander is about is she?" he asked curiously. "Now, I've even more paperwork to get caught up on, so you're both dismissed."

Miranda nodded. "She is up in the ready room and would like to see both of you after you have settled in."

[15 minutes later]

It had been a while since any of them had worn their Starfleet uniforms.

Mikoto stood in front of their quarters mirror pulling at the bottom of her tunic trying to make it appear as smooth as possible.
"Don't worry about it" Touma said as he came up behind her and pulled her gently into him. He placed a kiss on the top of her head and held her by her belly. "I'm sure everything will be fine, there's nothing to worry about" He assured her.

Mikoto let out a sigh, she relaxed a little. A few minutes later they were standing outside the ready room, hand in hand waiting to be let in.

"Come in." Tali called out hearing the chime go off.

The doors swished open and both of them walked in.

"Reporting back as ordered Commander." Mikoto said with a slight smile. "It's nice to be back..."

"Welcome back Mikoto, and you Touma." Tali looked up at the pair. "I bet you did not expect to see me in this chair?"

"Can't say we did" Mikoto replied. "It was slightly confusing on our orders" she explained. She moved to the opposite chair and sat down. "Sorry..." she said "I've been getting tired easily lately things considering" she explained.

"Are you ok Mikoto?" Taliserra asked, Mikoto was usually full of life so to see her tired like this was unusual.

"I'll be fine" Mikoto replied blushing slightly. She looked at Touma who just simply nodded. "You see Commander..." she paused and took a deep breath "I'm currently seven weeks pregnant commander..."

Taliserra looked up at Touma then back to Mikoto. "Then I beleive congratulations are in order Mikoto, I guess your shoreleave was..... very exciting."

"I know that I had fun" Touma grinned. "She was reluctant and first like...." he got a sharp elbow in the side of his ribs from Mikoto.
"It was what we both needed" she said simply with a smile. "Plus..." she placed a hand on her belly. "A new life is always welcome I suppose."

"Only seven weeks, you have quite a way to go." Tali remarked. She remembered being pregnant with her daughter; conceived under considerably less pleasant circumstances.

Mikoto nodded. "Indeed" she replied. "It's still very early doors, but only us three know. I still have to be checked out by the Doctor yet." she explained.

"I hope everything will be ok and we know Lt Polaris will keep your secret."

Mikoto nodded. "Thats our next stop" she replied with a smile. "But right now, its just a secret until we know everything is going to be ok" she explained placing a hand on her belly.

"And I will do my best to keep it that way until you're ready to tell people." Tali said with a reassuring smile.

"Thank you Captain. Although I still intend to do attend to my duties in my full capacity until things.... develop" Mikoto said with a smile.

Taliserra nodded. "That is good, you have a lot of work to do Mikoto, almost all of your staff are fresh from the academy or enlisted camp." A lot of the casualties the ship took had been from security.

Mikoto nodded. "Yeah, I've got a lot of training to do with them all" she explained. "But I'll get them upto scratch... my... condition won't affect that until it becomes more of an...." she didn't want to use the word 'bother' in order to make it sound like her pregnancy being a negative "Restriction on my duties"

"Just don't work yourself too hard Mikoto, I know what you are like."

Mikoto smiled. "Don't worry I'll try not to do everything" she replied. "I'm sure that Touma will stop me anyways." she added glancing at him. He just gave her a small grin in return.

"Make sure you do Touma." Taliserra

"I will" Touma replied with a smile. "Truth be told, I couldn't keep her off of me on shoreleave"

"Touma!" Mikoto said elbowing him in the side. "She doesn't need to know that!" she said to him in a rather unimpressed tone. She suddenly blushed and turned back to look at Taliserra. "Apparently I'm going to become more 'moody' in the next few weeks..."

"Then I had best let you go before you start shouting at me too." Taliserra laughed. "You're both dismissed."

Mikoto nodded, as so did Touma. "Thank you Commander" Mikoto said as they were leaving. They both gave her a slight bow before leaving the ready room.
