Mission: Detours

Having finished off her task with for Hera the sapphire engineering officer had put away her tools and was heading straight to the medical bay. As much as she wanted to her hand kept drifting over her belly as if she would feel something.

The doors of sickbay opened up as she stepped inside. " Thex is everything okay?" Came the voice of the snow white anear she had fallen in love with.

" Yeah, everything okay I just need to ask Asa something."

" Doctor Asa to the front desk." Asa said into her combadge as she looked at Thex concernedly. " What's wrong my love you look shaken."

Pages to the front desk were not uncommon, but still something about Tathaa's tone had Asa running. Seeing Thex looking shaken up did not help the unctuous feeling in the pit of Asa's stomach.

"Hello there, how can I help" Asa asked as they approached at an almost-jog.

" Yeah, I need help with something doctor. " Thex said keeping her voice low. " I was talking with Hera around half an hour ago and she said I was already pregnant. I haven't felt any changes or anything in particular so could you check.." Thex said feeling rather embarrassed by all this.

“Yeah, let’s take a peek,” Asa said, directing Thex and Tathaa to a nearby biobed and drawing a privacy screen. The doctor held up a medical tricorder and the whirring sound indicated its location as Asa scanned Thex’s midsection.

Looking up in surprise, Asa begged for just a moment more and went and procured another tricorder. After repeating the process the doctor looked at the pair with a nervous grin for a moment before speaking.

“Well, um, I guess we can discontinue the gene therapy treatments to help with conception, because mission accomplished. And I mean, really accomplished. It’s….um, well, it’s too early to say if both will be viable, but um, it’s……..twins. You are pregnant with twins,” Asa said in an excited rush.

Thex said nothing as she felt the Aenar at her side grip her hand tightly. A few tears were in her eyes as she began to speak the happiness unmistakable in her voice. " Well looks like we have another pregnancy to add to the list. Is everything looking, okay doctor "

"No need to fear, ma'am," Asa said soothingly. "You are looking fantastic. Your pheromone levels are a bit high, but that's not uncommon in early pregnancy of multiples. It will likely mean your morning sickness is going to be a bit intense, so let us know if you have any difficulties there....we can definitely help with that in Sickbay. At some point we will need to begin to draft a birth plan for the four of you, but that can wait a few weeks. Take this time to celebrate with one another and think what you would like for the birth of the babies. I recommend delivery in Sickbay, but if you decide for a home-birth we can work with that also. This is your time to celebrate and enjoy.....and take things easy."

Taking a look over at Tathaa, Asa said gently, "We need to consider what preparations you need as well. I want both of you on pre-natals stat. And easy physical duty for the person carrying....twins need a bit more coddling, so you are going to need to get used to the idea of being easy on yourself, ok? Both of you, yes?"

"Of course doctor. " The two of them said in unison.

" You hear that Thex no more acrobatics whilst keeping the ship running." the nurse said to her quad mate still gripping her hand tightly.

" Okay, I'll take it easy. Well after we tell Thav and Oribiar." Thex said with a grin as she slid off the table the smile still plastered on her face.

"Do you have any questions for me?" Asa asked, "Or do you need some time to process? Remember, weekly check ups for now."

" I'm sure we'll have some questions, but can you give us a moment?" " Thex said as she gripped her mates hand tighter.

"Of course, please forgive me, " Asa said, "Take my office, go celebrate together for a while. Take as long as you need."

" Thank you doctor. " Tathaa said as the two disappeared into the room calling the other half of there quad to let them know the good news.
