"I need you to be my date this Friday night."

Jim turns his head away from his PADD “Alright, what do I need to wear and where do I need to be?” He lifts his eyebrow inquisitively 

[ariakoy]

“That’s alright. You’re here now.” She raised her hand to adjust his collar, stopped herself, itched her neck instead. “Thanks for coming.”

[thedoctorjameskirk-deactivated2]

Jim chuckles at her “If I need anything adjusted, then by all means do it, I am supposed to be your boyfriend after all.”

[ariakoy]

"Right. Of course." She reached up and fixed his collar, reminding herself again that they were "dating," that this was okay. "So. Once more into the fray?"

"I need you to be my date this Friday night."

Jim turns his head away from his PADD “Alright, what do I need to wear and where do I need to be?” He lifts his eyebrow inquisitively 

[ariakoy]

“No, I think that should do it. Then, uh, I’ll see you then.”

[thedoctorjameskirk-deactivated2]

“Then I’ll be there with bells on and I’ll be the best fake boyfriend you’ve ever had.”

[ariakoy]

Friday night finally rolled around, and Aria was doing her best to avoid the guy, but Jim hadn’t shown up yet and she’d had too many close calls.

[thedoctorjameskirk-deactivated2]

Jim walks in the door in his best suit and scans the room for Aria. When he sees her he walks across the room to her “Sorry I’m late, I got called to a meeting with the brass and couldn’t put them off.”

[ariakoy]

"That's alright. You're here now." She raised her hand to adjust his collar, stopped herself, itched her neck instead. "Thanks for coming."

[ariakoy]

Jim lead Jenna into medbay, whispering to her softly. Rosie walked with them, pouting as she lead her baby sister as her father helped her mother onto one of the biobeds.

Seeing the whole family walk in meant one of two things: it was either really good or really bad, and Aria wasn’t getting too many good feelings about the situation. She walked over to the biobed where Jenna sat and braced herself.

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“Do you want to talk about it?”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“No.” She murmured in answer.

[ariakoy]

Aria found the sedative and prepped the syringe. "Okay." She pressed the device against Jenna's neck and injected the liquid. "You're going to feel lightheaded. Count down from ten."

[ariakoy]

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“I’ll need you to undress and lay on the table. Then I’ll sedate you and take it from there.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

Jenna quickly did as she said, lying down with a soft sigh.

[ariakoy]

“You alright, love?” Aria asked, rummaging around for a sedative.

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“Jus’ had a long night.” She answered softly.

[ariakoy]

"Do you want to talk about it?"

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“Whatever you think best, sir.” She paused, wanting to say more, but she stopped herself. “I’ll see you both tomorrow for the operation, then.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“See you tomorrow, Aria.” He said softly, sighing as he heard Jenna’s soft cries coming from their bedroom.

[ariakoy]

Jenna came alone the next day for the procedure. Jim had work and the girls were still sleeping.

“Ready?”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“Yes.” She answered softly, waiting for Aria to tell her what to do.

[ariakoy]

"I'll need you to undress and lay on the table. Then I'll sedate you and take it from there."

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“Not in space,” Aria replied. “And not for Jenna. With all she’s gone through, no surgeon in their right mind would operate on Jenna for a uterus. Unless it was an emergency, which this isn’t.” She sighed. “Look, Captain. I’ve done as much as I can for her, but at this point, if you want another child, you need to either adopt or have a surrogate. But I recommend waiting until we dock. Doing all of this in space is very dangerous. For the children especially. Which brings me to my next point. The next time we land, I think you should leave the girls on Earth the next time they land. Find someone to watch them, stay with them, it doesn’t matter. But they should grow up around other children. Go to real school. Have a childhood that isn’t them, their parents, and some aliens.” She stopped. “I’m sorry if I’m speaking out of turn, sir, but medically it would be best for them. This environment is not conducive for proper brain development.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

He sighed and nodded to himself; of course he’d known all that, but he had hoped for Jenna’s sake.

“The next time we go back is the end of the mission. We’ll be grounded for a year before we’re allowed back in space.” He told her. “Jenna and I might stay on Earth after, keep the Enterprise a short range mission ship. I don’t want her coming back out her after all this.”

[ariakoy]

"Whatever you think best, sir." She paused, wanting to say more, but she stopped herself. "I'll see you both tomorrow for the operation, then."

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“Our medicine is advanced, but there’s only so much we can do. I’m so, so sorry.” She turned off the bed. “You all should go back to your quarters. Be together. Discuss what you want to do.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

He nodded numbly,setting the girls down.

“Girls, I need you to walk home, okay? I’m gonna carry Mama.” Rosie sniffled and nodded, taking her little sister’s hand. Jim sighed, scooping Jenna into his arms. “I’m so sorry, Jen.” He murmured softly. “We’ll call you when we’ve made a decision, Aria.”

[ariakoy]

The second they left, she kicked the wall. Twice. She’d done everything to make her best friend better, and this was what came out of it. Could she do nothing right?

Jenna was too good for everything she’d had to deal with, and Aria just wanted her to have a good life. But cancer and childbirth and surrogate mothers and general sickliness and now this. Jenna deserved better than she’d got and it was maddening.

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

A few hours later, Jim called Aria.

“Jen and the girls are sleeping.” He said softly over the com. “Jen’s devastated. She really wanted to carry our third.” He paused. “Aria, are there uterus transplants or artificial uteri?”

[ariakoy]

"Not in space," Aria replied. "And not for Jenna. With all she's gone through, no surgeon in their right mind would operate on Jenna for a uterus. Unless it was an emergency, which this isn't." She sighed. "Look, Captain. I've done as much as I can for her, but at this point, if you want another child, you need to either adopt or have a surrogate. But I recommend waiting until we dock.

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“So apparently your uterus is useless.” Aria ran a hand through her hear in frustration. “I thought it’d be fine. I thought you’d be able to have another child. I… I’m sorry, Jen. We must’ve fu- screwed up somehow.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

Jim froze, watching as his wife slowly started to break down into sobs. His daughters started crying when she did, not understanding what was happening but knowing their mother was upset.

“Is…is there nothing you can do, Aria?”

[ariakoy]

"Our medicine is advanced, but there's only so much we can do. I'm so, so sorry." She turned off the bed. "You all should go back to your quarters. Be together. Discuss what you want to do."

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

The soft beeps of the machine seemed innocent enough, but the readout read something not. “I was wrong.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“What?” Jim asked, looking at her wide-eyed and holding his daughters close. “What is it?”

[ariakoy]

"So apparently your uterus is useless." Aria ran a hand through her hear in frustration. "I thought it'd be fine. I thought you'd be able to have another child. I... I'm sorry, Jen. We must've fu- screwed up somehow."

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

He smiled in relief and nodded.

“Thank you, Aria. I think another scan would make us both feel better.”

[ariakoy]

“Of course. It’s no trouble.” She walked back over to the table and hit a few buttons. “One more scan, love. Then you can come back tomorrow and we can fix your stomach.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“Okay.” She said softly, smiling at Jim as he took the girls so she could be scanned. She yawned softly, rubbing an eye.

“Once we’re done here, you can sleep.” Jim said gently.

[ariakoy]

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

“It means the muscles around her stomach aren’t working properly. That’s why she keeps throwing up: they’re forcing food up instead of down. It’s treatable now. A couple hundred years ago it wasn’t but we found a cure. She should be fine.” Aria turned to Jenna. “You should be fine.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

Jenna and Jim both gave a sigh of relief and Jim set the girls on the biobed, smiling as they snuggled up to their mother. He paused for a moment before motioning Aria to come with him.

[ariakoy]

“Something wrong, Captain?”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“Now that Lizzie’s almost three, Jenna’s been wanting to talk about having another baby.” He said softly. “We’ve known for a long time we wanted three, and she was hoping we could use the eggs you and Bones froze a few years ago. Is this going to affect her ability to carry a pregnancy if we do? Should we be looking at a surrogate?”

[ariakoy]

Aria let out a small laugh, mostly out of relief. She'd thought something else was wrong. "Another pregnancy should be fine. This thing is affecting her stomach, and now that the cancer's gone, she should be fine to carry another baby, but I can do another scan just to be sure."

[ariakoy]

Jim lead Jenna into medbay, whispering to her softly. Rosie walked with them, pouting as she lead her baby sister as her father helped her mother onto one of the biobeds.

“Jen? What are you doing here?”

[ariakoy]

The bed beeped softly, spitting out readings. Elevated heart rate (nerves), high temperature (but not dangerous). Everything seemed normal. But then - “Gastroparesis.”

[cmomccoy-ensignoconnor]

“Is that bad?” Jim asked softly, watching his wife. Rosie looked at her Aunt, pouting exaggeratedly.

[ariakoy]

"It means the muscles around her stomach aren't working properly. That's why she keeps throwing up: they're forcing food up instead of down. It's treatable now. A couple hundred years ago it wasn't but we found a cure. She should be fine." Aria turned to Jenna. "You should be fine."
