The days passed. Rose and John worked with Charlie to learn to control his powers. One day in particular while they were teaching Charlie, Rose felt a sudden pain in her stomach and collapsed on the floor. Charlie noticed and ran over and knelt down beside Rose and said: "Rose! Rose, are you okay?" No response. Charlie looked up at John and said: "John, call the medbay and get Dr. McCoy! Now!" John hurried and called the medbay. Charlie lifted Rose up onto the bed. Dr. McCoy arrived a few minutes later with a female Doctor as well. Spock was there and let them in. They ran in. Spock closed the door behind them. Dr. McCoy looked at Charlie and said: "You did good in doing what you did. You were quick to respond to the situation before any harm came to Rose. You were quick to get Rose onto the bed. I'm proud of you. There's hope for you yet." Charlie said: "It was nothing. Her and John have been teaching me to control my powers. It's the least that I can do to repay them. I'm not the same person I was when I first came here. I'm different now." Dr. McCoy said: "I can see that. You've mellowed out. Which is a good thing. In fact, I'll speak to Jim and tell him about the progress you've made since you first came here." Spock said: "I'll back Dr. McCoy on that." Rose whimpered softly. John walked over and took her hand in his. He sent waves of comfort across their bond. Dr. McCoy said: "Charlie, can you take John over in another part of the cell? Elizabeth and I need to do our job and John is kinda in the way." Charlie nodded and took John over in another part of the cell. He wanted to help as much as he could. Rose cried out in pain. And if Charlie hadn't been there to restrain John, John probably would have run over and held her hand. In fact, John tried to run over to Rose. Charlie quickly focused and stopped John in mid step. Dr. McCoy looked at Charlie. Charlie said: "Dr. McCoy, I can only hold out for so long before I have to release my hold. Right now I'm using my powers to restrain John. It's the only way I can keep him from getting in the way. I'm putting my lessons to the test." A few hours later, a beautiful baby girl was born. Rose was awake. She said: "Ugh. That was painful." Dr. McCoy said: "Your lessons paid off. Look at Charlie." Rose looked over at Charlie and said: "Charlie is doing that?" Dr. McCoy said: "He is. John tried to run over but Charlie moved quickly. He focused and stopped John in mid step." Rose looked at Charlie and said: "Charlie, I'm proud of you." Then Rose sat up. Elizabeth placed the baby in Rose's arms. Charlie said: "Can I release my hold on John now?" Rose said: "Sure." Then Charlie released his hold on John and said: "That took a lot of concentration. But I somehow managed to do it. Sorry John. But I had to do that." John said: "No hard feelings. I know you were just doing what you had to do." Then Dr. McCoy and Elizabeth left. John said: "Got a name for her?" Rose said: "Shayla Lily Smith."
