On
Isabelle sat on the comfy sofa in her office, the last of her current day appointments were done and she was now adding her notes from the various sessions to the various personnel files. That and putting together over all reports for Starfleet. It was a never ending flow of paperwork.

Taking a break she got up to check on her son who was sleeping peacefully in his Moses basket not far away, she still couldn’t believe that she had him back. When he was so cruelly stolen from her she thought she’d never see him again, yet here he was safe and sound. Her rumbling stomach reminded her that she needed to get herself and the newest life growing within her, something to eat.

Making her way over to the replicator she got herself a tray of food, and a strawberry milkshake. Walking across to her desk she picked up another PADD before resting the tray and sitting down to eat. Popping some food in her mouth she smiled at the contents of the PADD, the plans for her wedding to John. So far they hadn’t managed to get as far as the ceremony her father was conducting, she could only hope it would be soon. She wanted to be married before their baby was due, admittedly they had a good nine months or so before then.

She had plans for dinner with Sureth and John later on so she could ask about it then. Fingers crossed that things would work out for the best.

~ A couple of hours later ~

With the dinner table set, Isabelle sat feeding her son while she waited for the arrival of her father and John.

Sureth and John met up on their way and discussed moving the station to Yellow Alert.

" I'm not so sure this is a good idea sir. Too many variables."

" Mr Dallas we have to move on. We can not sit stagnantly and live in fear. I abhor a bully." Sureth replied.

Arriving John tapped the chime.

Isabelle smiled as she answered the door. “You know the two of you could have come on in, you are my father and fiancé you know!” She grinned as she motioned them inside.

" We didn't know the nursing schedule. Where is my grandson?" Sureth replied.

“He’s right over there” she pointed to the playmat on the floor by the sofa. “He’s just finished feeding so be careful he doesn’t make a mess on you.” She grinned.

John moved closer and kissed Isabella. "How are you doing?" Dallas smiled.

“Tired, but I’m okay.” She returned his kiss. “I’m going to have to learn to cope with having two young children, tiredness comes as part of the whole experience.” She grinned. “That and a little queasy, looks like morning sickness is starting to kick in.”

" Is that normal?" John asked

Isabelle smiled and nodded. “Very normal unfortunately! I had severe morning sickness when I had Connor so I’ll have to talk to Doctor Williams about it.” She offered an encouraging smile. “Don’t worry I’ll be fine.”

" Perhaps you should go to sickbay. I will stay with Connor." Sureth replied.

“I will take you up on that later father, right now I want to enjoy some time with you and John. We still need to discuss the wedding, besides we’re supposed to be having dinner together as well.”

" That is why I am here also. Since the time of old Captains of vessels have been extended the authority to join men amd women into matrimony. Do you John Dallas love my daughter and take her to be your forever wife? replied Sureth.

" I do sir." said John

" Isabella do you love and take John to be your forever husband?"

Isabelle looked at her father in surprise, this wasn’t a ceremony, not that she was wanting to wait any longer.

“I .. Yes! I do!!” She smiled the biggest smile yet as she took hold of John’s hand.

Sureth then handed both 2 Vulcan engraved rings.

" Place these on your fingers as a symbol of your love for one another. I will not join both of you in Betazoid fashion mentally." Sureth said as he touched boths temples.

((( You both are now one )))

Isabelle smiled the biggest smile yet as she and John exchanged their rings, and looked into her new husband’s eyes. “I love you” She kissed him lovingly not letting herself get too carried away with her father in the room. She then looked towards her father.

“Thank you father, I will be officially changing my surname to Dallas from here on in.”

" Or he can change his name to Veran." Sureth replied.

" I think Veran-Dallas works too." John said kissing his wife.

Isabelle grinned at the two men in her life both giving her ideas. “Then Veran-Dallas it will be. That way I can keep my family heritage as well.”
