Chapter Summary: After two long months apart, you finally see Chris. Chris handles the night's parenting duties.

Story Summary: Chris’ adventures in fatherhood.

Excerpt: Noah falls into an exhausted deep sleep before I finish his favorite bedtime story, his head resting on my lap and his hand curled around a stuffed tardigrade someone has thoughtfully left in our quarters. Probably Mia Colt, I think. Though it’s outside her duties as Chris’ chief of staff, she always ensures Noah and I are comfortable and looked after. A couple of times a year Chris gives a gentle nudge reminding her it’s time for her own command to which her answer is a resolute, “I am where I want to be.”

By the time Chris joins us, I am dozing and well into the same fitful dream. The one where the border skirmishes from an invading species escalate into an all-out war. Which the Federation loses. The dream where Chris is killed in action. As a member of his crew, I had faced danger many times at his side. But this was harder, sending him alone into harm’s way. Waking every morning wondering if he were still alive, thinking he could be gone, and I might not know for days or weeks.

Yet somehow, against unfathomable odds, he stopped it. Chris countered the border incursions with a battle group. For two months as the Federation held their collective breath fearful and worried, Chris and forty ships fought the invaders, who were superior in numbers, better equipped than the Klingons, as technologically advanced as the Federation, and intent on territory expansion in fulfillment of spiritual prophecy. He fought them to a draw and then negotiated a peace.

Disoriented, groggy and shaking, I remind myself Chris pulled a rabbit out of his hat, and we, all of us, were safe. All that remained was convincing Starfleet Command, the civilian government, and the Federation Council to accept the terms of the armistice. That’s tomorrow’s mountain to move.

“When we’ve got to the situation where made-up children can’t even hold each other’s fictional hands, I think it’s time to take a long, hard look at where we are as a nation.”

CURRENT GOAL: ACHIEVE MINECRAFT.

How am I doing it?

Step One: I confirmed that minus shipping I definitely have enough money to buy it. I watch Ivy for free a lot, and this includes times I have prior obligations (such as D&D with @setothememelord). I also ask for far fewer things than my little sister receives, and I don’t receive much unprompted. So if shipping exceeds my budget (I want a disc), then I shall have something to point to for the small price.

Step Two: I told my father that I wanted the disc. I told him why I thought it was a good idea for her to use STEM, and I explained that I could have worlds for myself and Ivy. Since Ivy already knows the basics on how to use my laptop, there’s not the issue of explaining to a five year old how to even use the computer in the first place. I also explained how peaceful and creative modes work, so I can prevent Ivy from being traumatized by having to fight things like zombies and skeletons. (For dogs, I can go into her world and hide chests with bones in creative. I can also just let her play in creative mode sometimes.) I know these modes exist because my nephew used to have Minecraft on the X-box, which I used to play with him, and thus I can point to that experience. I made sure that my father knows these things, and that I have the money to pay him.

Step Three: I repeated step two, but with my mother.

Step Four: Ivy knows what money is and how it works. We taught her when she was three. So, I showed her my money and that I have a lot (in the eyes of a five year old, many quarters and bills is a lot of money). I then mentioned to her that, “I was thinking of buying a video game with this money. Do you think you’d like, if I bought the game, having a world of your own so you could build and play?”

She said she can build stuff with legos.

“Kinda like legos, but you have more options with this game.”

She’s interested.

Step Five: I am curating a playlist of building videos to watch with her tomorrow. She knows I plan on watching these with her and has the explicit instructions to wake me up so we can watch them. If she still likes the idea of it, then I can use her interest to further coax my parents to order the game for me.
