The Third Son - #133

Melissa and her team stood aside and watched as Dr. Kori  and Nurse Sutherland went into action.  Prepping  Desi for birth and seating her in the birthing chair.  She had arrived in the nick of time, a minute or so later and the babe would've been born either in the turbo lift or the corridor.


After a few minutes of frantic action a lusty cry rent the air.  


"It's a boy!"  Kori announced as she cleaned and scanned the newest addition to Pride Kodiak and the Anasazi Clan.  She gently wrapped him in a blue blanket and handed him to Tyr as Neitzschean tradition dictated.   Tyr smiled and cuddle the babe for a second, removed the blanket.  


"With the universe as my witness, I name this son to honor my father's dying request.  He shall be called Barbarossa II."  Tyr intoned, as he held the babe aloft.  


Unknown to him, in multi verse, The Janeway Q and her contingent watched with approval.  Janeway Q gazed across the multi verse and espied at a much younger and healthier Barbarossa.  He smiled at her and gave a silent "thumbs up".  


"Barbarossa approves."  she said to no one in particular.  


However, Fatou heard.  She wisely waited until Tyr had wrapped and returned Barbarossa II to Desi to nurse.  to tell Tyr while he still held the child, well, he may have dropped him. . . . .


Fatou drew Tyr aside.


"Your father approves."  she whispered to him.  Tyr gazed at Fatou in shock.  He'd had no idea that the Katay could communicate with the dead!  


"No, Tyr.  It's not what you think.  You forget, the Q are here looking for Q.  The Q can see into infinite realms.  The Q queen, if you want to call her that, can see Barbarossa and he approves.  She merely transmitted his message to me."  Fatou explained.


"Have you tried to communicate with this Q queen?"  Tyr asked.  He felt as if he had been struck upside the head by a brick, but bore up because he wanted more information.  Anything to help get his ship and crew out of this so called "bubble".  


No, I  . . . . . "  Was all Fatou was able to say.  There was a shout from outside in Sickbay's waiting room.  In came Harper assisting Monique, who was on the verge of dropping her load right there.  


Dr. Kori took one look at her and started prepping her right away.  


"My!  Is it always this busy down here?"  Melissa asked.  She and her team were certainly getting enough footage to send back, if and when they ever got back home.


"It's usually very quiet."  as female resembling Hallie Berry replied, as she assisted Xena and the newborn Barbarossa.


Melissa did a double take upon realizing the woman was an Emergency Medical Hologram.


"My name is Eve, by the way."  she said.


"And I am . .  . . ."  Melissa started.


"Melissa Kulpepper the famous UNN reporter."  Eve said and smiled. 


"Actually, formerly famous UNN reporter.  I now work for Anasazi Estate."  Melissa replied.  


"Welcome aboard."  Eve said and smiled.  Melissa knew right then that they were going to become good friends.
