Spooning food into S'tel's mouth, she looks at me with a smile. I wonder why she eats so wonderfully for me.. and not so much for Spock. We thought she hated the paste but she just didn't like her daddy feeding it to her. She absolutely covers him in her food... He's taken more sonic showers in the past few days than he has in the past month. Snickering to myself I scoop up some more of the Vulcan infant paste, spooning it into her mouth. She eagerly gobbles it up, swallowing it down. From my limited experience with babies, she's behaving so well. Must be the Vulcan in her.

The door to our room dings, alerting me to someone outside. "Come in!" Sitting back away from S'tel I look over to the door. With a soft swish it opens to Scotty, walking in with a beaming smile on his face.

"Ello Lass.. Oh and the wee one! I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Looking from me to S'tel with a slight worried expression, holding up his hands in surrender.

"Not at all Scotty. We're almost done actually, it's almost her naptime." Getting some more of the paste on the spoon, she makes grabby hands for her favorite 'uncle'. All of the attention set on him rather than the food.

"Well then, looks like she wants to be held by you instead of eating her dinner. Can't say I don't blame her, this paste is so gross." Chuckling to myself I set down the small bowl to be recycled into the replicator. Standing from my seat I grab my daughter from her Vulcan highchair, handing her over to Scotty. Whom takes her eagerly into his arms.

"Ello there wee one. Have ya missed your unky Scott?" Scotty bounces her up and down gently in his arms, a smile on his face as he watches her enjoy it.

Wiping down the highchair with a cloth I look over to Scotty, watching my daughter smile in his arms. "So what did you come over for? Gossip?" I ask him with a grin.

"Actually.. I have some good news! I may or may not be seeing someone.." Scotty smirks continuing to bounce her, swaying from side to side as she giggles.

"What!? No shit. Who? How did you meet? Give me all the gritty details. Spill the tea sis." Dumping the dirty cloth into the laundry chute, I turn around and sit at the table. Beckoning him to join me.

Scotty sits down on the other side of me, bouncing S'tel on his knee. "Well.. His name is Glorp'on.. We met through a dating app for.. let's just say those whom prefer those not of their own species.." Scotty clears his throat as his cheeks erupt in a bright red. "He's a mechanic for the Vem'bulin science ship the Dacor. We just.. hit it off at the start. Their species is actually very same sex positive. They only mate with the opposite gender to produce children. Even then it's optional, since they can breed Asexually."

"What do the Vem'bulin look like? I've never heard of them from the show." Scotty looks down at S'tel and notices she's out like a light, he carefully carry's her over to her bamboo crib. Laying her down he covers her in a small blanket. We both move out of the room to continue talking.

"Well.. I'd say the best description I can give.. is.. They look like.. Frog people? That's the closest comparison I can give yae." A frog? Never would have guessed. Walking over to the replicator I get Scotty a cup of coffee. Getting myself a hot chocolate instead. Handing him his dark roast, he eagerly sips it with a satisfied hum.

"Huh. Well have you two met in person yet?" Raising a brow I blow onto the steaming beverage before I take a small sip. Savoring the chocolaty taste with a hum.

"We actually plan to meet at the next space station." Scotty smiles, continuing to sip on his drink. "He's doing a lot of science work near Vulcan. His species is fascinated with the prospect of desert planets, since they live in a permanent swamp climate."
