*puts down her sketchbook for a second, abandoning her attempt at getting that look in Gene's eyes, unobserved in her corner as usual*
I stand by my comment, and she blushed. So, make what you will of that.
*starts singing 'Michelle, my belle' softly to herself, attempting to tackle that profile again*
OOC: what look? I'm interested... ;)

ooc: a certain mischievous glint in your eye, and crooked smile whilst being totally serious. :D

Fen walked into the club with a small bundle in her arms wrapped in dirty cloth, she sat down cradling it.

Fen walked into the club with a small bundle in her arms wrapped in dirty cloth, she sat down cradling it.

Stag snuck up behind her and threw his arms round her suddenly. He laughed and kissed her neck lightly
'How were you while I was away?'

'watch out!' she said spinning away quickly with the small bundle.

'....look....its a baby....i found it on the doorstep' she said, showing him the small baby.

'watch out!' she said spinning away quickly with the small bundle.

'....look....its a baby....i found it on the doorstep' she said, showing him the small baby.

'On the doorstep?' He looked out of the window
'We are referring to the doorstep that leads outside to boiling gasses of up to 5000C?' He frowned and looked down at the baby
'They make them heatproof now?' He stroked the child cheek with a finger

'well....I just found it...doorstep or not' she said, looking down.

'SHE's so adorable...' Fen said sitting down.

'She needs so fresh warm blankets' she said, looking deep into Stags eyes.

'well....I just found it...doorstep or not' she said, looking down.

'SHE's so adorable...' Fen said sitting down.

'She needs so fresh warm blankets' she said, looking deep into Stags eyes.

'Errrrr, well, I could go and get- I'll go and get some shall I? Yes' He came back with the blankets
'Well this isn't the place a baby would usually be left for sure' He looked and it, pondering who left it

'well....lets not worry about that...we need to look after her then start asking questions' Fen said kissing him in appreciation for his help.

'So how was work darling?' she asked, feeding the child from a bottle and rocking it gently.

*looks, unstatisfied, at her finally finished portrait of Gene*
*sighs and stretches*
*looks up to see the happy couple back*
*starts to try to remain unobserved, then notices the young lady...Fen...holding a baby*
Another one!
*realises she said that aloud and tries to disappear blushing in her corner*

'well....lets not worry about that...we need to look after her then start asking questions' Fen said kissing him in appreciation for his help.

'So how was work darling?' she asked, feeding the child from a bottle and rocking it gently.

'I just had to go and sort out a dispute from back home. Nothing much' He kissed Fen on the lips carefully so as not to squash the baby
'I missed you' He smiled

she smiled back.
'I wish I could have come with you...I dont like it when you go away for days on end, I become a wreck and start drinking' she said,

'When are we getting married?' she asked.

*realises she said that aloud and tries to disappear blushing in her corner*

'Not of the nine month till arrival variey.' he laughed
'Er, it was on the doorstep. Don't ask why because I don't know' He shrugged

she smiled back.
'I wish I could have come with you...I dont like it when you go away for days on end, I become a wreck and start drinking' she said,

'When are we getting married?' she asked.

'Ah yes, of course. Well, I'm not much one for formalities, when can you be ready?' He grinned

'whenever....you....want' she said slowly and quietly in his ear, sneakily nibbling it afterwards.

'whenever....you....want' she said slowly and quietly in his ear, sneakily nibbling it afterwards.

'Well, I like that schedual' He smiled and gave her a deep throated kiss that he had missed being away for so long. He put his arms round her familiar curved and felt home again

Fen begrudgingly pulled away and went to put the new baby to bed, she came back and snuggled with Stag on the sofa.

'I wish you never left my side' she said, stroking his cheek.

Fen begrudgingly pulled away and went to put the new baby to bed, she came back and snuggled with Stag on the sofa.

'I wish you never left my side' she said, stroking his cheek.

'Well that would spoil the anticipation wouldnt it?' He rested his arm ontop of Fen
'Well I'm just the regular family guy aren't I? Nairobi Conner and now our new little friend' He smiled and kissed Fen's forehead

she giggled softly,

'what kinda wedding will we have' she said.

'I wonder what woman Nairobi will grow up into' she said looking up, daydreaming.

she giggled softly,

'what kinda wedding will we have' she said.

'I wonder what woman Nairobi will grow up into' she said looking up, daydreaming.

Stag turned on his back by Fen
'She will be an exellent scholar, and never have to call any pompous gentleman with less chin than brain 'sir', have an aloof manner towards men and so be immensly attractive, an active sportsman but never lower herself to cheerleading believing the idea to demean women, and never, never forget where she comes from.' He turned to Fen and smiled
'Did I get it right?'

she sighed.

'I hope you are' she said smiling, sighing heavily.

'what shall we do with this baby then?' she asked, wrapping her arms around his waist and nibbling his ear.

she sighed.

'I hope you are' she said smiling, sighing heavily.

'what shall we do with this baby then?' she asked, wrapping her arms around his waist and nibbling his ear.

'Well, you're the mommy. The station certainly isn't lacking in room for it.'

she smiled.

'What shall we call her.................you choose' she said.

she smiled.

'What shall we call her.................you choose' she said.

'Me? Hmmm, ok then.....' he looked up towards the cieling and thought for a moment
'How about........Sacherissa?'

'thats a beautiful name - for a beautiful baby girl' she said, turning to face him as she sat on his lap, and wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him lightly.

'thats a beautiful name - for a beautiful baby girl' she said, turning to face him as she sat on his lap, and wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him lightly.

'And she'll have a beautiful mother' he laid back on the sofa stroking her hair
'Definitly an improvemen on a doorstep'

she lay enclosed in his arms, believing she had never been this happy before, she now had two children and loving fiance....she couldnt want anything more.

she lay enclosed in his arms, believing she had never been this happy before, she now had two children and loving fiance....she couldnt want anything more.

'So, what do you want to do for the evening?' He yawned and nuzzled her hair gently

'whatever you want........' she said turning and winking, her body tingling as she felt him nuzzle her hair.

*silently sneaks past the couple, who'd forgotten she was there*
*enters the Holodeck and whistles for Steve*
If you're not busy, I want a brief culture demonstration of both...what are their names again? Phoebe...Phoenix...Fen! Fen and Stag. They're getting married and don't seem to have anything planned yet. It might not be paradise, but the Holodeck can come as damned near to it as you can get.
If not...Computer, do the honours?

'One paradise, coming up boss' Things moved inside the holodeck
'I hope they like Ireland, I think Fen did the last time she came up in here'

*laughs* Ireland? How ironic, where my parents went for their honeymoon.
Doesn't really help with what sort of ceremony they need, he doesn't strike me as Catholic. I think I'll leave that to you, that's what data banks are for....
I'll plan the honeymoon then, and no peeking at my programming, ok!
*goes to sit under a tree with a PDA*

'On the doorstep?' He looked out of the window

OOC: LMAO! :D

ooc: care to give a hand with the wedding prep TPE? :D

ooc: care to give a hand with the wedding prep TPE? :D
OOC: of course. what do you need help with?

ooc: anything, or course Stag and Sparkle get to design most of it seeing it's their wedding, but you always have to have the annoying mother-figure messing around ;) I'm thinking horseriding during the honeymoon at some point, any other ideas?

ooc: hmm... a waterspout (a water tornado) off at sea for viewing pleasure.

ooc: makes a change to glorious sunset I guess...
Maybe summon a few seals for a display.

Maybe summon a few seals for a display.
ooc: a glorious sunset, huh? well, I could position the waterspout so that they can see the sunlight sparkling off the tornado, like it sparkles off of fresh new snow. that'll be a good sight :)

Enjoy getting crushed by the immense pressure and gravity!

Enjoy getting crushed by the immense pressure and gravity!

It does wonders for the pores.

'Oh come on Steve, you can tell me. I wont leak to the press or anything' Stag said sarcastically
'Sorry boss, the whole things a secret between the others' If computors could grin, Steve would have the largest one ever seen plastered on his screen

'Steve....you gonna let me in on these wedding plans?' Fen asked,

'Steve....you gonna let me in on these wedding plans?' Fen asked,

Love to miss Fen, but its real hush hush. They said I couldnt breath a word' Steve replied
'You know i could probably hack into you and get it' Stag said sourly
'hehe, nice one boss, but you couldnt operate the can opener in this place let alone hack into anything'

'oh' Fen said.

she walked off to the kitchen and came pack with a hose....

'How about i threaten to soak your electrics?' she asked.

*walks out of the Holodeck with a big smile on her face and her PDA in one hand*
*Hears Fen's threat*
Uh-uh, if you do that you get no wedding at all. Now when is the date set for?

'oh' Fen said.

she walked off to the kitchen and came pack with a hose....

'How about i threaten to soak your electrics?' she asked.

'Er.......' Steve paused, doing the computor equvalent of sweat
'Well, I think horseriding is involved for the honeymoon...'

Steve, be quiet. If you can't handle the pressure I'll have to password protect you from them.

Fen looked anxiously at Stag - the face that said
JESUS WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING

Steve, be quiet. If you can't handle the pressure I'll have to password protect you from them.
'Oh, sorry miss' Steve said sounding abashed

Fen looked anxiously at Stag - the face that said
JESUS WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING

Stag smiled
'Whatever it is, it had better not involve small hotdog sausages on sticks at the wedding' he whispered into her ear

she giggled softly and pinched his bum. However dire a situation was, he would always make her smile, thats why he was so special.

'Well I assume it'll be in the holodeck?'

OOC: Hehe, sorry, forgot the name of your character :D :rolleyes:

ooc:I just use Randomea, tho you can shorten it if you like.

ic: Holodeck it is. Now I need a guest list and the date. Also any sort of extras you will need, rings...will you want to teleport your own priests in or do we need holographic ones?

'a holographic priest' Fen couldnt help but giggle.

'a holographic priest' Fen couldnt help but giggle.

Stag grinned
'You know what they say about holographic priests.' He nudged Fen, paused then frowned
'Steve, what is it they say about holographic priests?'
'Wsrmphicasamu'Steve whispered to him
'Really?'
'Yep'
'Well we'll have to keep an eye on him and the bridsmaid then'

Fen broke into even more laughter.

'I dont know if I have a bridesmaid....randomea?' Fen asked.

'I'll have to ask Gene about being the best man, I mean, he runs the place too. If he can't then Steve could fill in. Anyone seen Gene latley?'

'No' Fen said, very quick to reply.

'I couldnt possibly know where hes gone' she said, feeling her sensitive stomach.

'No' Fen said, very quick to reply.

'I couldnt possibly know where hes gone' she said, feeling her sensitive stomach.
'Ah well, I'm sure I'll see him sometime. Hmm, are you feeling ok Fen?' He put an arm round her
'You look ill'

'I'm...I'm fine' she said.

She smiled then walked to the kitchen, followed by throwing up noises.

'I'm...I'm fine' she said.

She smiled then walked to the kitchen, followed by throwing up noises.

Stag poked his head inside the kitchen and hurried over to Fen
'Fen, oh ye gods why don't you eat enough, Fen are you ok?' He put a hand softly on her shoulder and noticed it was shaking, he forced it to hold still
'I dont know whats wrong with you Fen- I -don't know what to do to-' he calmed himself down.
'Here, drink' He held out a glass of water

she took the glass and drank it.....her face was ashen and underneath her eyes they were grey.

'I need to go to bed' she said to him trying to smile.

she took the glass and drank it.....her face was ashen and underneath her eyes they were grey.

'I need to go to bed' she said to him trying to smile.

'Yes, you do' He picked her up with a slight grunt and carried her into the bedrrom. he put her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her. He kissed her on the forehead and turned to leave
'Do you need anything?'

'I need....' she said.

she coughed up blood.

'a doctor' she struggled.

'I need....' she said.

she coughed up blood.

'a doctor' she struggled.

'A doctor?' he looked down at his hands
'I can do better, hold on for a second' he dashed into the teleporter

Fen layed there, swinging in and out of consciousness

Stag came back with a confused looking old woman dressed in robes that were once white, but had been greyes and torn with use
'There she is, what do you think?'
'I'll see, now get out of the way man' The woman moved past him aand pressed a stone to Fen's palm
'Hold it tight dear' She began to feel Fens pulse and mutter under her breath

*watches Stag run down the stairs and across the room through the teleporter*
*thinks worriedly*
Can we do anything Steve do you think?

*jumps as Stag comes running back out before Steve can reply, towing a woman*
Guess not.

Fen saw the woman, she didnt have the strength to hold the stone tight, she just let it go, tears came from her eyes.

Fen saw the woman, she didnt have the strength to hold the stone tight, she just let it go, tears came from her eyes.

The woman shook her head and turned to Stag
'Has she ever had children?'
'Well yes but-'
'And i expect you like to, well'
'Erm....well yes, we are a couple but-'
'And by the looks of it she doesnt get enough to eat'
'Well she's anorexic beause of-'
'Her insides are messed up man! Like a ball of string!'
Stag looked over to where Fen was sobbing weakly
'You mean- this is my fault?'
'Partially yes.' The woman said bluntley
'Then.....its my descision to help her the only way I can......isnt it.' He said. The womans expression turned to shock
'I can't sanction that, you know-'
Stag whipped out the corroded coin he had been carrying for years
'See this? It means you do it, do it NOW, and do it without complaining. Ok?!'
The woman sighed in defeat
'Put your hand on hers' He did this. The woman got out a small flint surgical knife and cut the surface of his hand till a small amount of blood ran over Fens hand. She began to mutter under her breath and Stag felt it happening, his hand began to feel cold and his muscles in his arm loose, it reached his shoulder and crept over to his chest stealing the breath from his lungs. All the time he forced himself to keep his hand on hers and soon he couldnt feel anything but the rush of his life power through his hand to her, and his hand was wrenched off by the woman. He collapsed onto the floor panting shallowly and weakly, his lungs filled with what felt like ice.
The energy filled Fen and worked and getting her fit again, sealing arteries in her trachea and her villi, rearranging her body compostion to its correct form, and giving her the energy she needed
'It is done' The woman knelt by Stag and put a moist towel on his forehead before leaning back up to Fen
'Feeling ok?'

'what the hell?!' Fen asked, she leapt out of bed and knelt next to Stag.

'....whats wrong with him? I've killed him' she said, covering her mouth with her bony hand.

'what the hell?!' Fen asked, she leapt out of bed and knelt next to Stag.

'....whats wrong with him? I've killed him' she said, covering her mouth with her bony hand.

'He gave all the energy he had to you. You didnt do anything, its his own damn fault whatever happens to him. He did what was happening to you, it was the childbirth and the sex, did you know? It was his fault and so he wanted to fix it. He'll live.' The woman collected her things
'I think'

'no.....he cant take the blame for what i was already like' Fen said crouching next to him crying.

'no.....he cant take the blame for what i was already like' Fen said crouching next to him crying.

Stag opened his eyes and looked up to her and focused on his shallow breathing to keep going. He tried to move his arm but it wouldnt answer the order his brain sent, but eventually he moved it up weakly to brush away her tears in one eye
'D-dont cry Fen He dropped his arm by his side
'its ok n,now. I'm sorry, it was my fault, dont make yourself sorry by thinking it was you. It couldnt have been' He said it shakily as if cold, and indeed his skin felt ice cold
'I'll be fine. In a while' He swallowed to get his throat working better
'It was my choice'

Fen propped him up and fed him some medicene.

'i brought the anorexia and childbirth on myself, we shouldn't be afraid of showing our love' she said, stroking his cheek.

Fen propped him up and fed him some medicene.

'i brought the anorexia and childbirth on myself, we shouldn't be afraid of showing our love' she said, stroking his cheek.

'But I brought all that illness on you by doing just that. I love you so much Fen, and as much as I like to express it to you in- that way. I wont if it causes you pain' He closed his eyes and put his hand on hers where it rested against her cheek, and he felt it begin to warm up

she smiled at him,
'I love you so much as well' she said.

'but i wont have you taking the blame for something that isnt your fault' she said softly in his ear.

she smiled at him,
'I love you so much as well' she said.

'but i wont have you taking the blame for something that isnt your fault' she said softly in his ear.

He motioned for her to lie down next to him and he out his arms round her, warming up from her
'Some of your illness was caused me making love to you, the wisewoman said, so I think some of it a least is my fault.' He rested his head on her shoulder tiredly and blinked away a tear
'And I dont want to lose you. So promise me you'll start eating right, and I'll- well, er, I'll keep away from the other thing. I promise'

It has everything. Star Trek TNG-type holograms, meaning instant gratification and pleasure

I feel sorry for the poor shmuck that has to clean that up.

'WHAT that wisewoman says is completely different to me, if you loved me you'd appreciate my word over hers' Fen said softly, wrapping her arm around his waist.

'you dont obstruct natures course, if i am to die let me, if we are gonna y'know let us- nature needs to take its toll' she said, her lips millimetres away from his.

I feel sorry for the poor shmuck that has to clean that up.

I KNOW, some of the ketchup stains are TERRIBLE, I mean- oh wait, is this out loud? Ehehe, I'll stop

'WHAT that wisewoman says is completely different to me, if you loved me you'd appreciate my word over hers' Fen said softly, wrapping her arm around his waist.

'you dont obstruct natures course, if i am to die let me, if we are gonna y'know let us- nature needs to take its toll' she said, her lips millimetres away from his.

He steadied his breathing and calmed as he looked into her eyes. He felt warmer from her and he could feel his hands again. He lent up slightly and her lips brushed his, and for a moment the energy they had shared flowed between them.
He said nothing as he lent back, then
'Wow'

'wow....what??' she asked, confused

'wow....what??' she asked, confused

'Didnt you feel that?' He smiled and reached up to touch her hair
'Here, let me show you again then' He lent up again and kissed her deeply on the lips with the life energies touching, giving them both a feeling of warmth and pleasure that reached every point of thier beings. he leant back down breathing a little more heavily and smiling
'How was that?' He held a palm to her cheek softly

'that was very magical' fen said.

'mummy....daddy we are going to bed' connor said with Sasha in his arms.

'look after her!' fen said

She helped stag into bed and they lay together.

'that was very magical' fen said.

'mummy....daddy we are going to bed' connor said with Sasha in his arms.

'look after her!' fen said

She helped stag into bed and they lay together.

He sighed happinly and turned to Fen. He closed his eyes
'Tired?' he nuzzled her hair

Fen woke up curled up with Stag.

she kissed him
'wake up munchkin' she said, she then walked downstairs in her small pyjamas and she made him some tea, on the way up she checked on the children - who were fine.

Fen woke up curled up with Stag.

she kissed him
'wake up munchkin' she said, she then walked downstairs in her small pyjamas and she made him some tea, on the way up she checked on the children - who were fine.

'Mmm? I dont wanna go to school....oh, yes' He opened his eyes and rubbed them blearily. He winced as the aches from yesterday came back to him in force.
'Ow, thats gonna take a while to go' he yawned and sat up in bed

Fen felt so guilty, she rubbed special oils all over his back

'that better?' she asked.

Fen felt so guilty, she rubbed special oils all over his back

'that better?' she asked.

He rolled his neck and tried some of his back muscles. They felt alot looser
'Mmm, much. Thank you' he turned round and kissed her. He looked at the cut on his hand and that seemed almost healed too.
'I hope I never have to do that again. We'll have to take better care of you' He smiled at her

'I am not having you take the blame - why should we stop doing it because of what the wise-woman says' Fen said, tucking her hands under the covers and feeling the grooves of his stomach.

'I am not having you take the blame - why should we stop doing it because of what the wise-woman says' Fen said, tucking her hands under the covers and feeling the grooves of his stomach.

He closed his eyes and smiled at the feel of her hand
'Well, its your choice, it always has been.' He ran his hand through her hair
'Its just I dont want anything to happen to you' He looked over her face and felt alot better

she smiled.
'Just coz I have this incurable illness' she said, then regretting it after, she blushed.

*charges with a elephant gun and shoots out one of the lights*

i missed the bugger!!!
damn!

*reemerges from the Holodeck to see what's going on*
*Sees Col. Tobias*
You again! And why are you shooting lightbulbs?

she smiled.
'Just coz I have this incurable illness' she said, then regretting it after, she blushed.

His heart almost stopped and he sighed. He pressed his forhead to her shoulder
'Fen....look, you have to tell me these things, I mean.....what illness, how long?' He said dispairingly

*reemerges from the Holodeck to see what's going on*
*Sees Col. Tobias*
You again! And why are you shooting lightbulbs?

i am not shooting light bulbs....i am after that lebricorn... ;)

*white van pulls up outside*

*charges with a elephant gun and shoots out one of the lights*

'Good shot sir. You really got that lightbulb good' Said Steve oblivious to the objective of elephant shooting

'Good shot sir. You really got that lightbulb good' Said Steve oblivious to the objective of elephant shooting

ooc:time for dinner....when i get back tell me wht i am missing ;)

ooC: hehe, ok then :D

OOC: I just created a new region on NS for jupiter's core. :) http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/78856/page=display_region

'Hey Randomea?' Steves voice called down
'Can I get your advice on somthing?'

His heart almost stopped and he sighed. He pressed his forhead to her shoulder
'Fen....look, you have to tell me these things, I mean.....what illness, how long?' He said dispairingly

'As long as I can keep taking my medication, I will be fine....a few months ago after Connor they said it would be 6 months, now they have medication, its more lik 50 years, the pills form some kind of seal and heal my ruined insides' she said smiling, pushing him away, holding his cheek and rubbing away the tears with her thumb

'As long as I can keep taking my medication, I will be fine....a few months ago after Connor they said it would be 6 months, now they have medication, its more lik 50 years, the pills form some kind of seal and heal my ruined insides' she said smiling, pushing him away, holding his cheek and rubbing away the tears with her thumb

He caught her hand and held it gently, then he looked down and studied the ground
'So how is it to have a lifespan you know the length of? Every time I'll see you I'll know how much time you have left and that there isnt anything that can be done to stretch whatever is left. I'll watch you grow old and always in the back of my mind I'll remember how many years we have left together' He tightened his grip on her hand slightly
'And I dont know how that'll feel'

Steve amused himself by playing pong against the computor. Which was by coincidence him.
'Man this game gets old fast'

'I know what you mean....but we don't know how much time is given to us....so every day has to be lived like its our last' Fen said, smiling.

'I don't want you to dwell, just be thankful that i am still here with you, I will never let you go' Fen added quietly as she whispered quietly in his ear.

'I know what you mean....but we don't know how much time is given to us....so every day has to be lived like its our last' Fen said, smiling.

'I don't want you to dwell, just be thankful that i am still here with you, I will never let you go' Fen added quietly as she whispered quietly in his ear.

He looked up at Fen and threw his arms around her suddenly, hugging her tightly
'I'll keep you to that' He whispered back

she started to cough, and wipe the small specks of blood on her shirt.

she smiled.

'Not too keen there are you?' she asked pulling him so their waists were close, her hands in his backpockets.

she started to cough, and wipe the small specks of blood on her shirt.

she smiled.

'Not too keen there are you?' she asked pulling him so their waists were close, her hands in his backpockets.

He laughed
'You havn't seen me when I'm keen' He wiped a speck of blood from the corner of her mouth

'Oh yes I have' she whispered in his ear.

'Oh yes I have' she whispered in his ear.

He looked down grinning and blushing slightly
'Oh yes, yes come to think of it you have' He looked at her and grinned wider, then pulled her down onto the sofa laughing
'And did you like what you saw?'

OOC: bed? huh?

A pop up came through as Steve was doing some maintenance
'Hmmm, wow, I could buy a new car and pay nothing for a year' he considered the bonuses of having a free car for a year, but turned it down on the basis that they probably wouldnt deliver to the core of jupiter

'Yes I did....very much so - you seemed to have regained all your strength?' she asked curling up with him, under the covers keeping warm.

'Yes I did....very much so - you seemed to have regained all your strength?' she asked curling up with him, under the covers keeping warm.

'Its just vitality, not blood. Healthy people generate lots of it anyway but a sudden drop can kill them.' He put his arms round her and rubbed her skin to keep her warm
'I had lots, you didn't have enough, so....I gave you some you might say.' he stroked her hair and layed back next to her
'I had too, and it was worth the risk'

'but.....you could have died.....you....you could have killed yourself to keep me alive....you are a much more worthwhile person to keep in this world' Fen said, sliding her hand down.

'but.....you could have died.....you....you could have killed yourself to keep me alive....you are a much more worthwhile person to keep in this world' Fen said, sliding her hand down.

Stag tingled as he felt her hand slide
'Yes, but I wouldnt have been much if you died. Remember when Tish died? The only reason I was pulled out of depression was you. Whoever said time heals all wounds never got enough wounds' he said quietly in her ear

she smiled.
'Your words are wise and comforting' she said, squeezing with her hand.

'I think the heart can never heal, well properly, we always make a permanent place for people in our hearts and when they go, they are still there' she said quietly and softly.

He raised an eyebrow
'Well, I believe you have an unspoken talent with words' He kissed her lightly on the forehead
'That was very beautiful, you should remember that'

she squeezed slightly more, she saw the pleasure showing in his face.

she rested her tired heard on his shoulder and slept.

she rested her tired heard on his shoulder and slept.

For a while he just smiled and looked at her laying by him, then he tried to get up to get somthing to eat, but the way she was resting on his shoulder sleeping away, he was just happy to lay by her listening to her breathing

She coughed and a little bit more blood came out.

'Goddam' she hissed.

'You wanna get up?' she asked.

She coughed and a little bit more blood came out.

'Goddam' she hissed.

'You wanna get up?' she asked.

'Ah, awake are we?' He frowned at the blood she had coughed up and put his hand flat on her chest
'Are you sure you're ok?' He felt the rattling in her chest

'yep' she said, slipping out getting dressed, looking slightly more meaty today.

'yep' she said, slipping out getting dressed, looking slightly more meaty today.

'You look better today' Stag called from the bar as he made his way to it
'I hope you're finally eating right'

'Yeah' she said, trying to hide the tablets.

'Its these pills, weight gains a side effect' she groaned.

'Yeah' she said, trying to hide the tablets.

'Its these pills, weight gains a side effect' she groaned.

He patted her belly feeling a bit more flesh on it than before
'Ah, those pills hit two birds with one stone' he smiled

she smiled.
'They sure do....I am not gonna take them though, if i end up hugely tubby' she said, shaking the bottle.

she smiled.
'They sure do....I am not gonna take them though, if i end up hugely tubby' she said, shaking the bottle.

'I'd love you if you weighed 300 pounds. Although, this would present a new health problem. But anyway what do you think exersize is for?' He smiled. Much as he admired her figure he didn't much care if the what the pills did so long as they did thier job

'I exercise alot anyway...as you know...i miss my horseriding though' she said, smiling.

'I exercise alot anyway...as you know...i miss my horseriding though' she said, smiling.

'Hmm.....' He thought for a moment
'Meet me in the holodeck in ten minutes. Not a second earlier or later' He hopped off his bar stool and made his way to the holodeck

'hmmm....if this is to do with a holographic horse, dont worry Stag, I dont think its wise to let me ride' she said.

'hmmm....if this is to do with a holographic horse, dont worry Stag, I dont think its wise to let me ride' she said.

A horse burst out of the holodeck and reared up with Stag at the reins. He then fell off the back spectacularly, he raised a finger from where he was flat on his back
'I think my horseriding skills need work' he got up and shook his head to stop the ringing
'And why isnt it wise to let you ride?'

'....illness' she said,

'as if its not obvious....dont rub it in that I have this....its hard enough as it is' she said rather gruffly.

'....illness' she said,

'as if its not obvious....dont rub it in that I have this....its hard enough as it is' she said rather gruffly.

'Oh.....I'm sorry.' He looked down ashamed for a second. Then he looked up at Fen and he made a decscision. He hopped back on the horse and lifted her up gently into his lap, where all the judders were softened
'Is that better?' he said softly into her ear and the horse began to trot forward slowly

she smiled.
'Yeah....' she said slightly unsure....then settling into it.

'thanks' she said.

she smiled.
'Yeah....' she said slightly unsure....then settling into it.

'thanks' she said.

'Does it feel better to get back on a horse?' he held onto her waist to stop her from slipping off

'Yeah it does....can we get off now....we are very high up' she said, her thin face looking slightly pale.

'Yeah it does....can we get off now....we are very high up' she said, her thin face looking slightly pale.

'Sure, are you feeling right?' He lifted her up and jumped off the animal, landing softly
'You look a little funny'

'thanks....I....I...just need to rest' she said, going over to the sofa and she lay down under some blankets, she lay there shivering, her temperature a mix of freezing and burning.

'thanks....I....I...just need to rest' she said, going over to the sofa and she lay down under some blankets, she lay there shivering, her temperature a mix of freezing and burning.

'Oh....ok then. Go to sleep' He walked out of the room hesitently and then went to sit at the bar. he studied the bar top carefully in depression
'I dont know, I cant make her feel better, theres nothing I can do really.' He closed his eyes then turned round and punched the screen behind him, shattering it. He rest his hand on the bar mournfully and began to pick the glass out
'Why?!' He dropped his hand by his side ignoring the shards in it and put his head in his other hand

Fen heard him clatter around downstairs, she ran back down in her pyjamas.

'Stag! stop it' she said, tears coming from her eyes, as she wrapped an arm around his back.

Fen heard him clatter around downstairs, she ran back down in her pyjamas.

'Stag! stop it' she said, tears coming from her eyes, as she wrapped an arm around his back.

He winced and bit a shard from his hand, spitting it out on the floor
'You should be in bed' he said quietly

'No....I dont want to sleep alone....and i dont want you dwelling....I am going to be around for along time- you need to be happy....stay happy for me...keep me strong' Fen said, turning him to her and wiped the blood off his lip, she smiled sweetly up at him.

'No....I dont want to sleep alone....and i dont want you dwelling....I am going to be around for along time- you need to be happy....stay happy for me...keep me strong' Fen said, turning him to her and wiped the blood off his lip, she smiled sweetly up at him.

'I will. Just- oh I dont know. Stay healthy for me' he pulled her tight into him and reached over the bar to splash alchohol over the cut

'I will....I know i have to....I don't want to loose you....look....its late, come to bed darling, the children will be worried' she said, smiling, gripping his hand tightly.

'I will....I know i have to....I don't want to loose you....look....its late, come to bed darling, the children will be worried' she said, smiling, gripping his hand tightly.

He smiled again reluctantly and got off the bar stool.
'Well, ok then' He looked down at her and tilted her chin up to him
'But I'll hold you to it' He slipped his arm round her waist and let himself be led though the hall

she lead him to their room, she slid into bed and waited for him - his body was so muscular, strong and bronzed, why was he a slave to other people she thought.

When he joined her, she snuggled right up to him.

'Don't worry....we will make it' she said quietly, before passionately kissing him.

'Don't worry....we will make it' she said quietly, before passionately kissing him.

'I'll make sure of that' He murmered to her before putting his arms round her and deepening the kiss.
'We have so much counting on it' He smiled and stroked the back of her head as they kissed

'like.....' she asked, knowing the answer, but wanting to know.

'Do....you think...Tish's death was like a sign, that we were meant to be together....like Fate?' she asked.

'like.....' she asked, knowing the answer, but wanting to know.

'Do....you think...Tish's death was like a sign, that we were meant to be together....like Fate?' she asked.

'I dont believe in fate. I'v met her. But I do think Tish might have had somthing to do with it......' He looked at her from where they were laying down
'It was rather good timing. And I mean, like the fifty years your doctor say you have left' He stroked her cheek

'I decide my own life, i can stop the medication and potentially die tommorrow, or have an operation which would fix it altogether' she said smiling.

'I decide my own life, i can stop the medication and potentially die tommorrow, or have an operation which would fix it altogether' she said smiling.

He took a moment to register what she had said, and he sat bolt upright in bed
'You mean- you could get better with one operation?!' He grinned hugely
'Well, this is- ahaha!' he laughed and picked her up suddenly, kissing her more passionatly than they had all evening
'Oh, er, sorry' He put her down remembering why she was ill in the first place
'But this is great! When can you have the operation?'

'well....theres about a 40% success rate' she said.

'...................thats the downside....its massively problematic' she said.

'well....theres about a 40% success rate' she said.

'...................thats the downside....its massively problematic' she said.

He sighed inwardly, there was always a catch with operations
'And the problem is?....'

'well....there are just problems....I booked the operation a while ago...and well its tommorrow' she said.

'well....there are just problems....I booked the operation a while ago...and well its tommorrow' she said.

40% Chance. Thats less than half
He couldnt talk. The one possibility was rigged with danger, and if she did die tommorrow he wasnt sure what would happen to him. But if she didnt have it then the illness would always be hanging over her, reminding them it was there with bouts and keeping her from doing the things she loved like horse riding. He found he couldnt unwrap his arms from her, he didnt want to let go
'..Its your choice' He said eventually

'I want to go....theres a 5 year waiting list....this is the only chance i have' Fen said, a small tear trickling down her face.

'I dont want to do this....I'm doing it for you and the kids....I dont want to leave you at all' she said burying her head in his chest.

'I want to go....theres a 5 year waiting list....this is the only chance i have' Fen said, a small tear trickling down her face.

'I dont want to do this....I'm doing it for you and the kids....I dont want to leave you at all' she said burying her head in his chest.

He held her head gently against himself
'..You wont be leaving us.' He said firmly
'Youll be back tommorrow, healthy as you ever were, and we'll be there to greet you' he soothed her feelings and spok in a quiet voice
'You'll be back fine, Fenella, mother to my children and my love'

'Lets sleep....its going to be a big day tommorrow' she said.

'Lets sleep....its going to be a big day tommorrow' she said.

He carefully said nothing, also realising it could be the last

In the morning.....

The children were up early,
'Mummys going on holiday!!!!' Connor shouted giving his mum a big kiss.

Fen smiled, she got out of the bed, ushered the children out and then proceded to get dressed, she packed her suitcase.

'Stag....' she said, looking down at him.

*walks quietly into the bar and has a seat*

*walks quietly into the bar and has a seat*

'Well hi there sir, drink? We got drinks so stiff you can bend horse shoes round em' Steve the computor paused and searched in his memory
'Hey wait, I remember you, the minor right? Sorry, forgot you didnt drink. Can I get you anything else?'

In the morning.....

The children were up early,
'Mummys going on holiday!!!!' Connor shouted giving his mum a big kiss.

Fen smiled, she got out of the bed, ushered the children out and then proceded to get dressed, she packed her suitcase.

'Stag....' she said, looking down at him.

'Yes?'

OOC: Roll up roll up, my shortest response ever :D

'I'm setting off soon...in about half hour....' she said kneeling down next to him as he curled up.

'I'm setting off soon...in about half hour....' she said kneeling down next to him as he curled up.

'Well, then we should use the time well' He smiled at her face remembering this could be the last time he would see it. Moving at least. He lent over and kissed her on he lips, then held her hand in his

she smiled.
'How....' she asked naively.

she smiled.
'How....' she asked naively.

'I'm going to take you horse riding, illness or not' He got up and held out his hand to her

Fen walked down the stairs with her suitcase, she just wore loose trackies and a baggy jumper of Stags. she saw Sage and smiled.

'Jeez, I aint allowed to eat' she said, looking longingly at the fridge, and feeling her stomach grumble.

Sasha had grown alot and was now walking along behind Connor, almost in awe.

Fen bent down and picked Sasha up and cuddled her.

'Mummy will be back soon' she said smiling.

*returns from incarceration*

Hello :)

'Hi Ed' she said seeing her friend.

'Jeez, I aint allowed to eat' she said, looking longingly at the fridge, and feeling her stomach grumble.

Sasha had grown alot and was now walking along behind Connor, almost in awe.

Fen bent down and picked Sasha up and cuddled her.

'Mummy will be back soon' she said smiling.

Stag looked at the children and thought for a second, they might not have a mother soon....
If Fen.......well, they need a mother. Im not the most active of fathers at any rate. I'd- I'd have to find someone.
He shook his head noone could ever replace Fen.
Would they have to, completely?
Sometimes he hated his trecherous thoughts.
'I'll......I'll see you soon' He hugged Fen and turned away hurridly. He couldnt watch her leave, he thought if perhaps he never saw then, perhaps in some way she would ever really leave, and so if anything happened she would still be here

'Hi Ed' she said seeing her friend.

well well well......every one has...er grown up a bit since last time i was here

She hugged Stag and left, she took one last glance at her children playing and a tear escaped from her eyes, she went to the transporter and teleported herself to earth.

*returns from incarceration*

Hello :)

'Hey there boss'

'Hey there boss'

Hello :)

steve.
i will have a ...what did you call it?.....ah yes..bain of brain cell please

'Comin up' The drink slid accross the bar
'Y'know, not even I know how that happens. I always figured magnets or somthing'

The Next Day.....

Fen woke up in the white room, surely she must have died.....she saw a doctor by her side, talking to her, he helped her up and she changed.
'It was a success then?' she asked.
'yes....it was not as severe as we first thought' he said smiling.
'thank you so much' she said hugging him.

she walked back to the transporter and went back to the Core.

she walked back to the transporter and went back to the Core.

When Stag woke up, he noticed the empty space beside him. he looked over at the time
10 O clock
She should have been back by now......
He collapsed back onto the bed. he didnt have the will to move, it was as if someone had scooped out a part of him
Fen......
He considered hitting somthing until his hands bled or just drinking himself into a stupor, but niether would really help. he had nothing to live for now. he remembered the days with her, her smiling and giggling, when they first met, all of the times theyd just layed together on a sofa, and- he grinned- the nights. But not any more, becasue she was gone.
Why not me?
He would have given up his life for hers any time, it seemed unfair that it was her

really!....more technological than what we had in my day

'Ah, well actually we're thinking of having small rockets fixed on......'

Fen walked into the Core....it was scarily quiet....she crept upstairs and opend her door, to see Stag lying on the bed looking confused and sad.

'Darling....I'm home' she said smiling.

'Ah, well actually we're thinking of having small rockets fixed on......'

good lord!

good lord!

'Actually, come to think of it, your drink flying across the room at high speeds doesnt sound like good service......'

'Actually, come to think of it, your drink flying across the room at high speeds doesnt sound like good service......'

i bloody well hope they dont start doing that...

steve?

Fen walked into the Core....it was scarily quiet....she crept upstairs and opend her door, to see Stag lying on the bed looking confused and sad.

'Darling....I'm home' she said smiling.

Oh great, now I'm hearing things He looked up
Oh, it gets BETTER, im SEEING things too he frowned, illusions werent usually this mean. He got up hesitantly and brushed a strand of hair away from the face of what he saw. It felt......
'Fen!' he suddenly threw his arms round her and hugged as tight as he could

i bloody well hope they dont start doing that...

'Well, I dont know, some of the drinks are pretty volatile'

'Well, I dont know, some of the drinks are pretty volatile'

true...true
*nods in the way only forgetfull hi-ranking officers can*

'I guess your pleased to see me' she said, drawing him in for a kiss that was to last for ages.

'I am here to stay now' she said smiling.

'So, everything working? nothing broken? The operation went fine?' he let go of her carefully and looked her over to see if anything looked wrong

'they said i wasn't as severe as they first thought' she said smiling.

'they said i wasn't as severe as they first thought' she said smiling.

'Good' He smiled and put his arms round her again, feeling her reassuring press against his body. he closed his eyes happy that she was still here
'So you can do all the things you want to now, you missed riding and snowboarding'

OOC: Sure

'yep....absolutely...everything' she whispered softly in his ear.

ooc: got to be off ;) good night every one :)

Tish came into the core with normal clothes on, she seemed so real, yet the very thought that she was dead seemed surreal. She looked around to see if Fen was around, she heard banging upstairs...she was probably having a bath, or bathing the children.

'Hey boss, er....somthins wrong here.....'
'What is it Steve?' Stag looked up from where he was writing a letter
'Well, miss Fen is upstairs right....but....she's also in the corridor just arrived.......'
'What?'
'I'm just sayin what I see boss'
'Hmm' Stag put down his pen and got up to see what was in the corridor

As Stag came around the corner Tish smiled.

'Hi' she said, waving.

As Stag came around the corner Tish smiled.

'Hi' she said, waving.

He stared incredulously at the figure down the hall
Tish?! But.....how?!
'Tish? Is that you?' He grinned and ran towards her, picking her up in a hug
'Why, but, how?'

'I can summon my physical body back y'know....' she said smiling, looking up into his deep dark eyes.

'I can summon my physical body back y'know....' she said smiling, looking up into his deep dark eyes.

'Well It's so great to see you, I- I missed you you know' He released her and looked down at her still smiling

She smiled.
'I miss you....remember all those times we had together....those hot summer nights, the winter lodge' she said, standing closer to him.

'That computer mistook me for Fen are we really that similar' she asked.

She smiled.
'I miss you....remember all those times we had together....those hot summer nights, the winter lodge' she said, standing closer to him.

'That computer mistook me for Fen are we really that similar' she asked.

'I remember' He chuckled
'We used to go swimming, and' He laughed 'We both knew that was just an excuse to be near each other' He placed a hand on her cheek softly
'You look good. Death hasn't done much to diminish those looks'

she smiled and kept his hand there.
'I still love you' she whispered softly.

she smiled and kept his hand there.
'I still love you' she whispered softly.

'I-I still love you too.......but....' He felt her skin on the palm of his hand and it reminded him of all the time they had spent together

she gave him a peck on the cheek quickly then looked away and blushed.

'sorry...I.....I....shouldnt' she said, turning to go.

she gave him a peck on the cheek quickly then looked away and blushed.

'sorry...I.....I....shouldnt' she said, turning to go.

For a moment he stood there stunned, then after a second he quietly turned her round and pulled her into him for a passionate kiss. After a while he let her go and looked down into her eyes.
A tiny voice in the back of her mind was going 'What the hell are you doing?!'

Fen came walking downstairs after bathing the children, she walked into the hall to see Stag and a very alive looking Tish passionately kissing - she stood stock still.

'what....the....hell' she said,

'No, look, I'm sorry. It was me....' He looked down embaressed at himself, not noticing Fen had come in

Fen saw him apologise, she turned her back, slammed the door and went to the holodeck, and sent herself to Ireland.

The next morning, Tish woke up next to Stag

'darling....you have done it again' she said, referring to pregnancy.
'Don't worry about Fen - she'll get over it' Tish said, smiling.

The next morning, Tish woke up next to Stag

'darling....you have done it again' she said, referring to pregnancy.
'Don't worry about Fen - she'll get over it' Tish said, smiling.
His face turned white
'Oh no, you arent-' he moved his hand over her belly where he could already feel a slight swelling

Fen sat on the rock looking at the beautiful countryside.
how long has this been going on? she thought.
Stag and my best friend....at it behind my back she thought- she felt sick.

Stag sat up in bed hating himself. He looked over the now pregnant Tish lying on the bed, he reached over and layed next to her trailing his hand over her stomach, he couldnt help it, he still loved her. But- he loved Fen too....
