Gabe was in his ready room, when the chime went off. "Come." The door swished open and in came Chris and Sienna. "What are you two doing here?" "We need to talk about the ambassador." Sienna told Gabe sadly. "What about her?" Gabe asked. "She is Ash's ex-girlfriend" Chris replied. Gabe noticeably tensed.
"What are we going to do about this?" Gabe asked after a couple of minutes of silence. "Let's get him up here and tell him now" Sienna said. "Ok, Ash, can you come up to Gabe's ready room?" Chris asked. "Sure Chris." "Why does he call you Chris instead of captain Uncle Chris?" Sienna asked, as curious as ever.
"He grew up in Mojave, which was also where I grew up. Before enlisting in starfleet I knew him and his mother very well. She was my Childhood friend, we grew up together. We still kept in contact after I joined starfleet. I practically helped raise him until he was 15. It was even in his mothers will that is she were to die before he came of age, he would come to me." "Oh." was all Sienna said.
A few minutes later, Ash came in wondering why Chris and Sienna were there, when Gabe was on shift. "Ash, baby, have a seat please." Gabe said. Now Ash was confused, was he in trouble, is Gabe going to divorce him. Chris noticed Ash tense as Gabe said sit down. When Ash sat down, Chris moved behind him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. He was pleased when Ash relaxed under his touch.
What i'm about to tell you might come as a shock, but the ambassador is your ex Annie." Ash tensed again. He was so tense, that Chris started massaging his shoulders harder than he was doing originally. Then Ash started crying. "I thought it was over." Ash sobbed into Chris's chest, after he pulled Ash into him as soon as he started crying. "I know baby, I know." Gabe soothed him. "We won't let her do anything Papa, I promise."
"I will second that." "I think I speak for the crew when I say we will support you no matter what. Chris said. "Do you remember what I said to when I saved you from the klingons before I got my eyes fixed?" Gabe asked. Ash nodded his head. "You said 'we choose our own pain, mine helps me remember.'" "Yes I did and that also applies to you Ash, honey, do you understand?" "Yeah, I understand Gabe." Ash had stopped crying, but was still clinging to chris. Sienna gave Ash a hug, Ash smiled and let go of Chris.
