Star Trek The Next Generation

29

I quickly rushed to get everything in place, I had only three days to get ready for the wedding and I was nervous.

"Okay! Time to calm down." A voice said.

I turned and let out a sigh of relief as I saw Deanna.

"I have come to help." She said with a smile.

"Cousin." I said as I walked up to her and hugged her.

"Now, let's get this place ready." She said when we pulled apart.

I had wanted to put a little bit of all my worlds into this wedding. I had decorations from both Vulcan and Betazoid weddings and I was having a human wedding.

"So is Picard and the others here?" I asked as we strung up lights.

"Yes, Picard is having a talk with Odo." She said with a laugh.

"Oh no, should I be worried?" I asked with a laugh.

"I don't think he will actually scare him to death, luckily." She said playfully.

"I don't know, Picard is like a father to me... he might scare him to death."

She shook her head and we continued to decorate. When we were finished we set on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally... finished." I said with a smile.

"So I heard Spock wasn't coming." She said as she looked at me.

"He is to busy." I said as I let out a sigh.

"You know... Zar would of loved this." She said softly.

"He probably would of been like, "this is to much color. You should have more Vulcan pride.", Or something like that." I said with a laugh.

"Or he would insult Odo. Say he wasn't Vulcan enough to be your husband."

"I miss him." I said softly.

"I do too." She said as she hugged me.

"Commander Maria to Ops."

"And I am being called." I said as I stood up.

"Good luck!" She called.

I sent her a smile as I left the room. I made it to Ops and saw Sisko and Odo talking to Kira and Dax.

"We just got word of a research team who needs help. I'm sending you and Dax." Sisko said calmly.

"But-"

"Go, you need a breath of fresh air." Odo said as he sent me a smile.

"Fine, but you better have picked out at least one food idem to have before I get back." I said sternly.

"I will, now go." He said as he pecked my lips.

"Fine." I said as I shook my head.

It wasn't a long journey and after we landed I got off with Julian and Dax.

"Why did you tag along again?" I asked Julian with a frown.

"They might need medical attention. I mean they have been missing for nearly twenty years."

"Did you say twenty years? When did they go missing?" I asked with a frown.

"I'd say... eighteen years ago." He said with a frown.

My heart stopped and I followed Julian to the researchers. I looked around and let out a sigh when I didn't remember any of them.

"So is this all?"

"No this is team one, team two is on their way." The Vulcan said calmly.

"Team two?" Dax asked softly.

"Yes, we have two teams. It is easier for us to do research."

"How did you all get here?"

"We went through a wormhole. It crash landed us here." He explained.

"Who leads team two?" Julian asked with a frown.

"Zar."

"Zar is alive?" I asked softly.

"You know Zar?"

"Is his mother a Betazoid?"

"Yes, and his father Half human half Vulcan."

"He's alive..." I said as I looked at Dax.

"Who is this Zar?" Julian asked with a frown.

"I am Zar." A deep voice said.

I quickly turned and felt my heart stop as I saw a tall man with black hair and blue eyes. He had a frown on his face and he was wearing a grey shirt with baggy black pants.

"Zar.. son of Spock and Ketra?" I asked softly.

"You know my parents?" He asked calmly.

"They're my parents too." I said as I felt tears stream down my face.

"Maria?" He asked softly.

"Hello brother." I said with a small smile.

"I am going to do something Vulcan's deem unlogical, but I do not care at this moment." He said as he walked up to me.

He pulled me into a hug and I let out a sob as I hugged him tightly.

"It's really you." I whispered.

"I thought I would never see you again." He whispered in my ear.

"You should of known that I would find you." I said softly.

He sent me a smile and moved some hair out of my face.

"Father? Mother?"

"Both doing fine... from what I hear. I haven't spoken to them in awhile.... Grandfather passed away."

"I'm sorry." He said softly.

"Don't be... let's get you home."

"But I am home."

I looked at him with a frown and he let out a light laugh.

"You are my home, Maria." He said as he pulled me into another hug.

We we arrived at the station I led Zar around.

"So you are getting married." He said softly.

"Yes, his name is Odo. He is... the love of my life."

"I'm happy for you." He said as he squeezed my shoulder.

"I will contact mother and father. It might take me awhile, but they should know you are home."

"I don't think you will have to." He said as he looked ahead.

I looked forward and froze as I saw my parents talking to Odo and Sisko.

"But.. they haven't been told we found you." I said softly.

"I don't think they came for me, Sister." He said as he patted my back.

We walked up to them and I saw my mother turn to look at us. She froze upon seeing Zar beside me. She grabbed Spock's arm and he turned to look at us.

"Go." I said as I pushed him forward.

He nodded his head and walked up to them. Odo came over to me and I smiled as I saw my mother pull Zar into a hug.

"Who is he?" Odo asked with a frown.

"My brother." I said as I felt tears stream down my face.

Odo put an arm around me and kissed the top of my head.

"He's my brother." I said as I hugged him.

I soon felt an arm on me and turned to see my mother.

"I-"

She cut me off by pulling me into a hug. I quickly hugged her back and held back tears.

"My family is finally complete." She whispered.
