Imzadi: My Version

Chapters: Forty to Forty-two

Chapter Forty

It had been over two years since Will had seen Deanna. They had talked over several communiques, though, but mainly about the children. Will kept telling Deanna he wanted to see her, but she kept making excuses as to why she could not come. Now, he could not get a hold of her again and was getting very concerned.

He put in a call to his mother-in-law. "William, I tell you, I don't know what to do with her anymore!"

"Well, where is she?" Will demanded more forcefully than he had meant to do.

"On Earth taking some Starfleet protocol classes or something like that." Lwaxana waved her hands in front of herself in a manner that said she was not quite sure. "I am so upset with her about leaving the children behind with Chandra, too!"

"She did what!" Will exclaimed sounding very upset.

"Yes, I tried to tell her, but she refused to listen to this old...." Will disconnected the link before Lwaxana had finished her sentence. "meddling fool." She finished.

She turned to Mr. Homn. "You know, when Deanna was a child I took her everywhere I went. Oh, I refused to leave her behind, no matter what diplomatic duty I had. She was always there no matter what, with tutors and everything. Now, look what she does to those poor children!"

Mr. Homn stands quietly facing her. It was hard to tell for sure if he was listening or not, but he look at her as she said every word, even so. Lwaxana continues with speech.

"Well, Mr. Homn, at least you listen to me." She sighed touching his shoulder. "You're the only one who does anymore. Tell me, am I really a nosy, meddling, old fool?"

Mr. Homn stares at her without a word spoken. "Maybe, I am." Lwaxana finally said sadly and walks out of the room.



Will called over to Chandra and Teb's home. "I heard the children are with you."

"Yes, they are." Chandra confirmed. "Would you like to speak with them?"

"Yes, but first I want to ask you, how are they?"

"Honestly, Will." Chandra began forlornly and started to speak in a clinical manner. "Father said there are some abandonment issues and they both also have some depression. I think he said, it was Dysthymia. Some form of mild depression, I don't know. What I do know is Kestra has not said a word since Deanna left two months ago."

"That's not good." Will said.

"No, it's not and I've tried to tell Deanna, but she thinks they will adjust."

"Does your father agree with Deanna?"

"You really respect his opinion, don't you?" Chandra asked and Will nodded. "Well, at least one of you is listening. She's not listening to him, that's for sure."

"Can you tell me where on Earth she's taking these courses she needs?" Will asked.

"San Francisco Starfleet Acadamy." Chandra informed him.

"Thanks, Chandra." Will said. "May I speak to them now."

"Yes, you may, but unless you can read Kestra's mind, I'm afraid you won't get a word out of her."

"I know, but it still might be helpful if I at least tried." Will said.

The children were close to six years now. They had four more months to go, before their sixth birthday and they had spent the last couple years being shuttled back and forth to one parent's home to the other. They never complained and were always glad to see their parents, but when Will saw them approach the screen, he could tell they were not happy.

"Hi, Daddy." Said Will Jr.

"Hello, son."

"Are we going to see you soon?" he asked his father.

"Yes, you will, soon." Will promised. "How are you two?"

"Fine." Stated Will Jr.

"Kestra?" Will addressed her. "I heard what your brother said, but I want to hear from you."

Kestra looked at him briefly and then looked away. "Kessa is quiet these days, Daddy." His son told him. "I can't even get her to talk to me."

"Are you being good to your sister?"

"Yes, Daddy." His son said. "I'm trying to take good care of her."

Will smiled. "That's good son, but let Aunt Chandra take care of the big stuff for her. OK?"

"OK, Daddy, but if she won't say anything how is she going to get what she wants?"

"Don't worry, Chandra knows." Will told his son. "Listen, I have to make another call, before I have to go back on duty. You two be good for your Aunt Chandra and I'll see you soon."

"We will Daddy." Will Jr said sadly.

"Your mother and I love you two."

"Daddy?"

"Yes, Will?"

"We miss you."

"I miss you two, too."

"When will you and Mama get back together?"

Will sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know, son. I wish I could give you an answer, but. Well, let's just say, your mom and Kestra have a lot in common."

"Mother doesn't talk to you, either?"

Will's head popped up sharply with his eyes in a puzzled squint. "Has your mom spoken with you since she left?"

"No." Will Jr. said sadly. "It's been a long time. She calls Aunt Chandra after we go to bed at night, but..."

"Well, Earth and Betazed have a different time. Days and nights are different. Maybe she's still trying to adjust to that." Will tried to comfort him. "I'm sure she'll figure it out soon."

"What did we do?"

"Son, you two didn't do anything." Will informed his son. "Listen, I really have to put this call through before I have to go back on duty. I will see you soon." Will emphasised the will very strongly. "And you two did nothing wrong, I promise you that."

"OK, Daddy, We love you."

"I love both of you, also."

Will disconnected the call and hurriedly put a call into San Francisco Acadamy. "Yes, I need to speak to a Deanna Riker please. Tell her it's her husband calling."

"I'll put it through, sir."

"Thank you."

Deanna's face came onto the screen. "Hello, Will."

"Deanna! What the hell were you thinking! You left the children behind on Betazed, while you go off and do whatever you want as though you haven't a care in the world!"

"I would hardly say that." Deanna said, in a controlled voice.

"You know, this could affect them for years to come. They'll feel abandonment issues for a long time."

"I really don't think they feel abandoned." Deanna said. "They just need time to adjust to living with Teb and Chandra."

"Have you talked to Chandra, lately?"

"Yes, I have and I disagree with Professor Xerx." She informed Will, adamantly.

"Deanna, the man's had more years in psychology than you have." Will reminded her. "I think you would listen to him. I know I do and I've spoken with the children. At least to Will. Kestra won't talk to anyone. Much like you."

"I'm talking to you aren't I?" She asked a little taken abacked.

"No, not really, Deanna. You dodge the issues everytime I talk to you and I haven't seen you in person for two years now." Will stated. "I had hoped that when the children came, you would have come at least part of the time."

"Well, I couldn't. I had to study. You know that, Will." This time she had a slight touch of anger in her voice.

"Deanna, go get the kids." Will said. "Spend some time here on the Hood with me before you go wherever it is you're assigned and let's try and work something out here."

"I will send for the children when I can. I even told Chandra this."

"Fine, Deanna." Will said angerly. "Do what you want. When you're ready to talk you know where I am. In the meantime, I will see the children as usual and for God's sake, Deanna! Talk to the children! They think all this is their fault!"

"Oh, Little Will was just trying to get your attention, that's all. He's fine."

"I don't believe you!" Will stated in astonishment. "Any other child you would be listening and trying to do something as a psychologist, but your own children you don't do a damn thing with! You're also the empathic one here and yet you even deny the obvious!"

"They are fine, Will!" Deanna said more strongly than she had anything else in the conversation.

"I don't have a degree in psychology nor am I empathic, but I can see they are not at all happy and they are hurting." Will informed her. "Now, I'm going to tell you this once, Deanna, if you don't do something with the children, I will!"

"Will, I assure you, they will be fine." Deanna said, slightly alarmed at Will's last statement.

"Fine. I can't believe this. I really can't, Deanna, but if that's what you want to believe, go right ahead."

Will cut the link and went to his captain to ask for time to speak with him at his earliest convenience.



Will finally got a chance to speak with Captain DeSoto and he was very passionate about his request to the captain.

"Well, Lieutent, I understand you want them here tonight, but I can not get the accommodations for them that quickly. It takes time."

Will sighed a deep and heavy sigh. "OK, I guess that's all I can ask for. I appreciate that you are willing to have them aboard. Thank you, sir. They are good kids and I think you will not mind having them aboard."

"Oh, I'm sure, if they are anything like their dad, they are the best kids in Starfleet." DeSoto said with a laugh.

Even Will had his first good laugh for today. "Well, I'm glad to see you laugh, Riker. I know you have been under a lot of stress lately."

"Ah, I can't deny that, sir." Will said.

"Even so, your work has been exceptional and I feel you deserve a promotion."

"Thank you, Sir." Will replied.

"You deserve the rank of Commander." DeSoto said. "You've worked hard, even under stress and pressure. You also have an exceptional service record. Gone beyond the call of duty in many cases, these past couple of years. You really deserve the promotion."

"I appreciate that, Sir."

"You're dismissed, now." Captain DeSoto stated.

Will left feeling a little happier with the news of his promotion. He felt at least one thing was going right in his life, even if his family was not doing to well.

Chapter Forty-one

It was six months later and Lwaxana Troi was at Teb and Chandra's home visiting with her grandchildren. Garth Xerx was also there, but he mainly observe the situation, even though Deanna said they were fine and asked him to not counsole the children. He and Lwaxana figured his presence would be good for them, if nothing else.

"Kestra, please say something to your grandmother." Lwaxana sent to her granddaughter's mind. Lwaxana shook her head sadly. "Well, at least eat some lunch, dear."

Kestra shook her head.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" Chandra thought.

Chandra went to the door and when she opened it her eyes got wide. "Will!"

"Daddy!" Will Jr. shouted and ran to his father to hug him.

"Ah, William!" Lwaxana said. "Please do something with your daughter! She won't talk and she won't eat!"

"I'm planning on it, Mrs. Troi." Will said to her. "Chandra, would you mind getting their things together. I am going to take them to live with me on the Hood."

Will's statement got Kestra's attention. She got up and went to him. Then looking up to him with questioning eyes, she stopped in front of him. Will knelt down to her and hugged her. "Yes, honey. I'm taking you to come live with me."

For the first time in months Kestra smiled and without a word, she threw her arms around her father's neck.

"Does Deanna know anything about this?" Chandra asked.

"I told her, but not in exact words."

Lwaxana smiled approvingly.

"Mrs.Troi." Chandra began. "Aren't you going to do anything? Or at least say something?"

"Oh, no!" Lwaxana smiled while placing a hand on her chest, and then added, mocking Deanna. "I don't want to meddle! After all, Deanna told me to stay out of how they raise their children!"

"So, you approve of Will taking the children without talking to Deanna first?"

"I don't see any problem, especially if Deanna knows how Will feels. Nor do I sense any ill intent from him. Do you Teb?" Lwaxana asked turning to the other men in the room. "Garth?"

Both of them shook their heads. "In fact, Chandra, I highly recommend it as a theraputic measure." Garth smiled at his daughter. "I think it is just what the children need. Now, go get their things so they can be with their father."

"After all he is their father." Lwaxana added.

"OK, but I will call Deanna and let her know where they are." Chandra said not knowing exactly what to do.

"That's fine, Chandra." Will told her. "I was going to do that myself once we got back to the Hood and they got settled."

Chandra went to get the children's things together, as Will turned to Lwaxana. "Thanks, Mrs. Troi. If you had not told me what was going on, I would not have known." He informed her. "I don't know what's going on with Deanna, but she has pushed me away and from the looks of things, everyone else too."

"What!" Lwaxana said in mock shock. "You are actually thanking me for meddling into your family's affairs?"

Will smiled. "I guess we had that one coming, but yes I am and I know you did it because you care about the children and their well being."

Lwaxana looked as though she could cry. "That's all I ever wanted to do, is take care of my family. I know I may seem over bearing at times, but I only want what's best for them. For my whole family, actually, and you're family too, now. From what I can see, this family needs to be together. You two are Imzadi and I know Deanna will come to her senses soon. She has to."

Will sighed. "I hope you're right, Mrs. Troi."

"OK, I have the children's belongings together." Chandra said as she came down the stairs to their home. "Has anyone gotten Kestra to eat anything?"

Lwaxana looked around. "Where is Kestra? She was right.." As Lwaxana walked into the dining area she saw Kestra at the table, slowly eating her lunch. Lwaxana smiled, then turned back around. "She's going to be fine. I can feel it."

"We go now, Daddy?" Asked Will Jr.

"Well, let's wait for Kestra to finish getting ready. OK?"

"OK."

When Kestra was satisfied with lunch, Will gather up their things and loaded them into the shuttle craft. "Oh, cool!" Will Jr. said. "We get to ride in Dad's shuttle craft!"

"Well, it's not really mine." Will said.

"That's OK." His son said. "You're driving!"

"Well, say good bye to your grandmother and hop aboard." Will said.

The twins hugged and kissed their grandmother. "Now, you be good for your father." She said.

"We will." Said Will Jr. Then he literally hopped on to the shuttle craft.

Kestra started to climb aboard, then she turned around and ran back to give her grandmother another hug. "I love you, Grandmother."

Tears rolled from Lwaxana's eyes as she smiled and said into Kestra's mind, "Those are the best words I've heard in a long time, Prescious!" She held her granddaughter for a few seconds softly crying and then she kissed Kestra's cheek and told her, "Now, run along and don't keep your father waiting."

Garth Xerx watched Kestra release her grandmother to get on the shuttle and thought, "For once Lwaxana's meddling has done a lot of good."

"Oh, you be quiet and let me enjoy this moment, Garth!" Lwaxana sent to him as stood. "If I hadn't helped Will and pulled some strings with Starfleet, the children would still be moping around here."

Will started the engine to the shuttle and departed to go back to the Hood.



Chandra called Deanna on her ship, after everyone had left. "My mother did what?" Deanna was furious. "And you allowed Will to take them to the Hood?"

"Well, Father and Teb insisted on it." Chandra told her. "In fact they supported Lwaxana in her decision. Deanna, I had no idea. I mean, Will said he told you he was, but not in exact words."

Deanna took a deep breath. "Yes, he did, Chandra."

"Oh." Chandra responded.

"I just didn't listen at the time." Deanna said, then added with anger. "However, my mother had no right to get invovled in the situation and I'm going to give her a piece of my mind!"

"Deanna, now." Chandra said. "Don't do anything rash. You've hurt her enough."

"Now you're taking her side?"

"Well, you have been rather mean to her at times and for quite a while now." Chandra stated. "I mean, she can be rather hard to take sometimes, but.."

"I don't believe you!" Deanna said, stunned.

"I'm just telling you the truth, Deanna." Chandra said. "It was good you finally did tell her how you felt, but there have been times.."

Deanna disconnected the link to Chandra. Then she called her mother.

"How dare you!" Deanna verbally attacked her mother.

"Wh...Wh.. I.. I.." Lwaxana stammered.

"I wanted the children to be on Betazed, not riding around all over the galaxy!" Deanna shouted. "Then you had to butt in again and pull some strings with Starfleet to hurry and get them aboard a ship!"

"It.. It.. It's not just a starship, Deanna." Lwaxana finally said. "It's where their father lives!"

"I did not like being dragged all over the galaxy as a child and I don't want my children to be either! I will not have you...."

"Kestra finally ate and spoke." Lwaxana interrupted.

Deanna paused with shock. "What? I had no idea. I was told about Will, but no one told me about Kestra. At least, I don't remember anyone saying anything about Kestra."

"Well, how can they if you keep closing your mind off to everyone. Even Garth tried to tell you, but you just refused to drop your mental blocks." Lwaxana told her daughter. "Honestly, Little One, I have no idea what's gotten into you lately."

"Mother, I'm sorry." Deanna said softly.

"I'm not the only one you need to apologize to." Lwaxana informed her. "Now, I can't see how in the world you can do your job and not take care of your family like you should and on top of it all I, as the matriarch of this family, have to intercede where I'm not wanted just to."

Deanna broke the connection again and just sat in the quiet of her quarters for a long period of time. She finally fell into a fitfull sleep where she was sitting.

"Here we go again. I don't relish going through that portal."

Deanna stirred and finally woke to see her older self again. "Yes, It's me again." The older Deanna said with her arms crossed in front of her. "You would think you would get a clue the first time, but no you're too stubborn and thick headed. I guess it comes with the territory."

"I've had a long day. I really..."

"No, Will had to only see his younger self once and he got it together. Not you though, and so I don't have to come back a third time, you are going to listen and figure this out one way or another this time."

"Oh, I got it. You didn't have to come back here again."

The older Deanna rolled her eyes. "No, you apparently didn't or things would not have gone this far. Will is your Imzadi and that is forever. So, you better start working on what ever it is that you need to work on and this time do it right so I don't have to come back and beat you over the head!"

The older Deanna was there for three hours that night. It took that long to get through to the younger Deanna. She finally conceded to the fact that Will had been trying to reach out to her. Now, it was she who needed to stop pushing him away and actually talk to him and work things out with her Imzadi.

Chapter Forty-two

Will got back to the Hood a few days later, with two happier children. The captain and a few other crew members were in the shuttle bay to great them.

"Welcome back, Commander." Said Captain DeSoto.

Then Will suddenly got a kiss on the cheek. "Welcome back, Billy Boy!"

Will tried to take Marie's smile and gesture for what it looked like and let it go as he turned his attention back to the captain.

"Well, well." Said the captain as he kneeled down. "Are these two little crew members the famous ones we met a few years ago?"

"Yes, they are, Sir." Will said. "You remember Will Riker Jr. and Kestra Riker?"

"Oh, yes." DeSoto affirmed. "My, you two have grown!"

The two children giggled. "We're six now." Said little Will.

"Oh, my, you two are getting to be big officers, now aren't you?"

More giggles came from the Riker children. "We're not officers yet!" Kestra finally spoke.

Will smiled as he watched how happy his children were now. For the last few months all he had seen were sad faces every time he called to speak with them and now he saw brighter faces.

"Well, on my ship, you two are the youngest crew members aboard."

Little Will stood up straight and proud. "Thank you, Sir. We will do our best to serve this ship!" Then Will Jr dropped his posture and the twins giggled again.

Then DeSoto stood up and started to address Will. "Commander, there have been three messages from your estranged wife. I'm guessing she started calling sometime after you left Betazed."

The word estranged brought Will up short, for he had not really considered Deanna was estranged from him. However, the realization of that fact was starting to dawn on him, now that his captain said it.

Kestra tugged at his pant leg. "Daddy, are we going to get Mama and bring her home, too?"

"Oy!" Will thought to himself. "How do I explain this." Then he kneels down to her and tells her, "Honey, we'll call your mother later and talk to her, but for now." He paused and looked around. "Lieutenant Reilly?"

She was starting to leave when she heard Will call out to her. "Are the children OK?"

"Oh, yes. They're fine." Will said to the young nurse. "I was just wondering if you would take them to the lounge for some ice cream or something, while I speak with the captain."

"Oo! Daddy! Can I have chocolate chocolate chip, with fudge topping and chocolate sprinkles?"

Will chuckled. "Like Mother, Like Daughter! Yes, you may, Kestra."

"Sir?" Asked the nurse. "Isn't that a lot of sugar?"

"I'm just glad to see she is eating something, Lieutenant." Riker stated with a smile. "Besides, she's eaten that since before she was born. Something she inherited from her mother, I guess."

"Well, I'll gladly take them for ice cream." She said with a smile.

"OK, kids." Will said. "This is Lieutenant Reilly. She's a nurse on this ship and she's going to take you for some ice cream while I talk to the captain. OK?"

"Oh, goody!" They both shouted and they went with her for ice cream.

Will turned back to his captain. "Did she say anything when she left the messages?"

"No, just that she wanted to talk to you." DeSoto informed.

"Well, it's a start." Will said. "She hasn't initiated any conversations with me in a long time."

"Why don't you take the time to return her call and then get your children settled into your new quarters, before you officially return to duty?"

"Thank you, Captain." Will said. "I'll do that."

"Well, then, I'll see you early in the morning." DeSoto began with a smile. "Dismiss, Commander."

"Aye, Sir." Will smiled back and departed from the shuttle bay.



Will was walking to his newly assigned quarters when he was called over his com badge by the communications officer. "Tigart to Riker."

"Riker here."

"There is another communique for you from a Deanna Riker."

"Thank you." Will said. "I'll take it in my quarters."

Will arrived at his quarters and as he entered he saw the light signaling a call was being put through. Will took a deep breath and gazed around the quarters briefly. His new quarters were meant for a family and somehow, it still felt empty. He was not quite sure why at this point, but just the same the feeling of emptiness was still there.

Will finally sat down to answer the communique. "Riker here."

"Will." Deanna looked tired and as though she had been crying for quite a while.

Will suddenly got a look of concern on his face. "Deanna, are you OK?"

"No." She said and tears started to fall from her eyes. "I had no idea and I'm sorry."

Will repositioned himself in his seat. "I'm not sure I understand."

"I've been awful to everyone these past three years and I'm so sorry." She sobbed. "I also didn't listen to anyone about anything. I didn't even listen when it concerned our children."

Will sat up straight and searched for something to say, "Deanna, I'm not sure what to say."

"I know you are very angry and must hate me. I don't blame if you do." Deanna said.

"Deanna, I could never hate you." Will began trying to let his love for her show. "What I think is more important is where do we go from here?"

"I don't know." She said softly. Then she looked away from him. "I can't, I can't."

She had his complete attention. "You can't what?"

"I'm here and I, well I."

"Deanna, damn it. Would you just say what's on your mind. I'm not a mind reader."

"I can't leave this ship yet." Deanna said. "I was assigned here not too long ago."

Will was not sure if she was making another excuse or if that was reality. He did realize, given the fact she was now a Starfleet officer, it could be the honest truth or it could be a mixture of both.

"Well, Deanna." Will said. "I can understand that."

"The other thing is." She paused for a brief moment looking down at her hands. "I'm.. I'm not ready yet."

Will tried hard to control his frustration with her as he asked, "What do you mean you are not ready yet?"

"I'm not sure." She said. "I guess, right now..." She paused to find the words.

"Go on." Will coached.

Her lower lip quivered as the tears were about to flow, again. She tried hard not to start crying again. She did not want to continue with the tears, but they kept coming as though a damn had broken.

"You hurt me, Will, when you walked out that door three years ago and I just could not bear to see you go!"

"That was not my intention, Deanna." Will told her. "What I don't get is, why you have been taking it out on everyone, including the children. They had nothing to do with it."

"I know and I guess I'm not ready to come home yet, because I'm angry with myself, now." Deanna said with tears still in her eyes. "I don't know, yet at the same time, I just can't leave where I've been assigned, either."

Will realized, she was finally speaking the truth and being honest with herself now. He had no idea how to counsole the counselor at this point. His own wife, also. She succeeded in becoming a counselor, but at the expense of many. However, he felt that was not what her intentions were when she set out to reach her goal and now, he had no idea how to reach out to her.

"Deanna, I love you." He said.

"I love you, too, Imzadi." She cried. "And I do love our children."

"I know you do." He said softly.

"A part of me wants to be there with you three, but I'm scared right now." She admitted.

Will felt that may have been the most honest thing she had said so far in this whole conversation.

"Deanna, we have all the time you need to work this out." Will tried to encourage. "You know you can call me anytime. I'll always be here for you."

"I realize that now, but I..."

"When you're ready." He said gently. "I'll be here."

Will so desparately wanted to put his arms around her, to hold her and reassure her. He felt a million miles away from her, not just physically, but mentally too and he felt helpless to do anything for her.

"I have to go." She said with tears still in her eyes. "I..." She paused. "I don't know how to do my job anymore!" She cried. "I have patients to attend to and look at me! I'm a complete basket case!"

"When was the last time you took some time off, Deanna?" He asked.

"Not since I was accepted at Starfleet." She said, with not only sorrow in her voice, this time, but exhaustion. "I haven't even slept in a couple of days."

"Maybe you should take some time off for yourself and talk to someone."

Anger started to erupt in her voice along with the tears. "I'm fine!" She insisted. "I don't need to talk to anyone!"

Will just realized he had said the wrong thing. He felt like a real heel for even suggesting what he just did. He then thought to himself, "She's still here and didn't disconnect the link, like she has done in the past. So maybe, I'm not doing too badly."

"Will?" She softly sobbed.

"Yes."

"I can't sense what you are feeling." She sobbed. "It could be my feelings are getting in the way, but what are you feeling?"

Will took a deep breath and tried hard to concentrate on putting words to his feelings. "I don't know. I guess, I'm angry and hurt, too." He stated. "But that does not take away from how I feel for you. I want to hold you in my arms again, but I can't."

She looked down and was silent for a few moments. Then she lefted her head without looking at him and softly said with regret in her voice, "I'm going to be late."

"Yes, and I need to take the children off of Lieutenant Reilly's hands." He stated. "I asked the ship's nurse to watch them while we talked. I was about to return your call when..."

"How are they?" She asked softly, but this time she looked at him.

Will nodded his head. "They're doing better. Kestra is eating the chocolate ice cream concoction you two like so well."

Deanna chuckled. "That's my girl."

"Yes, it is." Will smiled and was thankful to finally see a smile on his wife's face.

"Well," She looked away from Will again. "I have to go. I'm running late."

He heard the comm on her side of the communique. "Bridge to Counselor Troi."

"You're using your maiden name?" Will asked a little shocked.

"Um, yes." Deanna said, still not looking at him. "But I'm known by both in Starfleet."

"Bridge to Troi-Riker."

"Troi here." She said in her Betazoid accent that Will loved so much.

"We need you on the bridge."

"Yes, Sir." She said. "I'm on my way, Sir."

Then she turned back to Will. "I'll call you." She said and then broke the link between them.

Will stared at the view screen for several minutes, before he rose from his seat to meet the twins in the lounge.
