I went down to the medical bay, Dee an Fa'tae took over for the day shift. Lu'Nye would help me tonight during the evening shift. Word had already spread through out the ship about Ceillia.

Some had whispered it was a punishment from Paya for Hoppers dishonorable behavior during the hunt. After 'punching' out those 'rumors', making sure they will not reach Hopper or Ceillia at this time.

I walk in an see Hopper standing holding the sleeping Ceillia's hand. While Chris is curled up an passed out herself on the other medical bed.

"Dar'ke...I..." Hopper starts to say as he looks at me. I shake my head at him.

"Hopper, I know..." I say to him. Cause I understood what he was feeling right now. That is a hell I wish to avoid visiting again myself.

I walk over and brush away Chris's wild hair away from her face. She was looking peaceful, I stroked her cheek an her lips turned into a smile, an she gave off a little happy purr.

"Dar'ke, you are one hell of a strong Pauker..." Hopper says to me breaking the silence. "You've been through something like this many times...how in the pauk are you still sane...?" Hopper says to me as he looks over to me.

"Honestly Hopper with Krysis I was on autopilot after her death. With Chris...I have had to face my many demons inside. Grief, helplessness, anger, and my own faults for ignoring the true meaning of family and honor. The fact that Chris as well as Krysis have kept their promise of always coming back to me. It gives me a little comfort to move forward. Luckily Ceillia was able to be saved in time. She will need to be watched from now till she gives birth to prevent anything else from happening..." I say to him.

Hopper nodded "...Do you think Ceillia will understand Dar'ke?" He asks me.

"If she doesn't I can always send Chris after her..." I chitter at him.

Hopper burst out in laughter chatters, "That's probably the best threat on this ship!" He chattered back to me. He seemed a little more relaxed now.

"Mind if I take Chris?" I ask him.

Hopper shakes his head. "She needs her rest too Dar'ke. I can call you both in case I need her assistance with Ceillia." Hopper says to me.

I just nod an scoop up Chris's small form. I carry her in my arms to our room. After I put Chris to bed, I check on the reports on the console in out room.

OldOne had the pups working so far they don't know what's going on yet. I would have to talk to them myself. Dee and Fa'tae are doing great so far. I have suspended all formal training classes until Sa'ke arrives. However the clan members are allowed to train as they wish during their free time.

I've slowed down the ship so he can arrive sooner to us. I sit down on the bed an look at the wall. 'Is there anything else I can do...?' I think to myself.

I hear Chris chuckling behind me. I turn my head and see her rolling on the bed seemingly amused. I chitter at her behavior...

"What is bothering you Space Cat?" She asked me. I just shrug, she comes over an helps takes off my back an chest plate. "You are staring at a wall, that is a sign that you are either super pissed, or very worried. And in some cases both. So talk to me..." Chris says as she hugs me from behind.

"I am just concerned that you an Ceillia are over working your bodies while you both are bearing. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of trusted members to help look after you two, you both need to be looked after more carefully..." I say an before I can finish Chris grabs my dreads hard. Causing me to fall back on to the bed in pain.
