Commander Celeste Yamaguchi emerged from the medical center, still wearing her uniform which was also covered in Caitian fur which she honestly did not mind, she gently brushed off her uniform as the hair fibers all fell off her uniform and scattered to the winds.

Captain James Yamaguchi regarded his elder sister while he approached. "Hey Celeste."

"Hey!. James!" Celeste turned before she greeted her younger brother with a big hug. "Its good to see you, James."

"You as well Cel." James grinned. "Dad sent me to find you. The entire family is meeting on the north plaza. Dad and Daniel are both cooking food. Apparently a few others are helping and Dad wants to give the masses a good home cooked meal."

"Unbelievable," Celeste responded. "Only Dad could seriously want to feed millions with slight of hand..."

"If he thought it would help... You know he'd cook it all himself." James responded. "So.. bring your lady and we'll cook dinner."

Celeste tapped her combadge and did just that. Say, Brianna. You feel like having a home cooked meal?" she inquired. "Well when you get a chance, meet me on the North Plaza and we can share some good home-cooked food... made by my father.."

"Alright I'll be there." Brianna answered, unsure why Celeste's father chose to have a cook out in a plaza. Brianna, however, had learned not to try and understand anything a Yamaguchi did.

Before Brianna left she had some unfinished business. In front of her was Lance Corporal Shalmar and Private Harrak. "So, you filled Lieutenant Stenwald's helmet live gagh?"

"Wouldn't be the same if it was dead gagh. Nothing worse than dead gagh." Harrak replied, which prompted Shalmar to giggle.

"That said," Brianna snapped, "Lieutenant Sternwald freaked out and ran to sick bay complaining about the snakes biting his head. Doctor Anjou is most displeased. You will make good for what you two did."

"What are we going to get? More time confined to quarters?" Shalmar asked.

"Oh, no. I have a better use for use. The two of you will report and help take care of orphaned Farasian kits." Brianna told him.

Shalmar and Harrak looked at each other. "Your kidding, right?" Harrak asked.

Brianna just looked at Harrak. "They are expecting you now. If your late I'll add more to your punishment." With that, the two quickly exited.

A few minutes later they reached their destination as John Yamaguchi was busy cooking food on a large BBQ, he had three others helping him in addition to the dozen or so replicators around. Celeste smiled as she spotted Brianna. "You thought Dad was going to cook food for a billion?" she inquired.

"Really? How is he going to do that?" Brianna asked.

"He's not." Celeste responded. "He's cooking food for several hundred people. The replicators will handle the rest."

"A Yamaguchi taking a short cut?" Brianna asked.

"I know, scary isn't it?" Celeste smiled at her fiancee. "Don't worry though. Dad will see to it you get a decent meal." she gestured that Brianna was to follow her.

Brianna followed. "Knowing a Yamaguchi, it will be interesting and I look forward to the grub."

"Well come on you." Celeste responded. "You get to meet my kin."

A few minutes later they reached their destination as a Vulcan woman came over. "Hello. I greet you.. I am T'Rae." she addressed Hobbs. "I am part of this family."

"Glad to meet you." Brianna replied.

T'Rae smiled warmly at Hobbs, a Vulcan smiling at times looked downright odd at times. "Come, the rest are over here." she turned as Daniel Yamaguchi came over, he grabbed Celeste in a big hug. "Hey Cel... You look bored."

"I look fat, you mean." Celeste smiled. "Daniel, this is Brianna."

"Ahh. So you're feeling brave enough to-"

James sighed. "Would you stop being a douchebag Daniel." as he came over, his greeting was much more restrained. "I'm James.. and I'm much better behaved then my older brother who should be ashamed of himself..." he shook his head as a human female came over, wearing Marine green. "Colonel Hobbs. Its good to meet you at mast. I'm Bronwyn Yamaguchi."

"Hello, I'm glad to meet you." Brianna replied. "It is never a dull moment with the Yamaguchi's is it?"

Bronwyn chuckled softly as she shook the other womans hand. "Nope. Dull moments never happen with this group." she responded with a wide smile.

Daniel regarded Hobbs. "Dinner is ready."

Celeste smiled as she spotted Marie, then the smile turned into a frown. "Marie!"

"Oh hey Celeste."

Celeste growled softly. "Stop fucking with my fiancee or I will really fuck you up!" she snarled before she turned and stormed off, heading for the large BBQ pit.

Bronwyn looked confused as T'Rae inquired. "What was that all about."

Daniel sighed. "Marie told Brianna that mom will eat her for lunch... she played the same stunt on you.. and on Bronwyn if you'll recall wife of mine." as T'Rae nodded. Daniel turned to Hobbs. "Would I be correct in assuming that is indeed the case?"

"You are correct." Brianna replied. "I'm going to go check on Celeste." With that chased off after her pregnant mate. When she found her she brushed up next to her. "Hey girl." Brianna smiled.

Celeste looked angry. "Ahh... I hate it when Marie opens her mouth. She causes nothing but shit!"

John Yamaguchi greeted his daughter. "Hey Celeste... Marie pranked you?" he inquired of Hobbs. "Let me guess... Jess would have you for lunch if you harmed Celeste.."

The look on Celeste's face said as much as John sighed. "Fucking hell Marie." he growled. "Anyway. I'm sorry about Marie... I'm John Yamaguchi.." he offered her his hand.

Brianna took John's hand. "Thank you, it is finally nice to meet Celeste's father."

John smiled. "Celeste has mentioned you to me. She explained her situation to me and Jess at length and your name has come up a few times. I'm glad to finally meet you at last."

"Yes, Celeste and you have quite the family." Brianna replied.

"Well. They are a handfull and all of my children have families of their own and they are producing grandchildren." John responded. "I'm thinking of adopting a few of these kits.."

"You?."

"Why not... Your mother and I do have all the time to devote to them."
John shrugged. "They deserve good homes... and we can raise alien and exotic children. Remember those three Andorian children we fostered for that six month period.. and there was your two Andorian children Celeste.. You're thinking about it too... I know how you think daughter of mine."

"Yes Dad.. I am thinking about it.. However Brianna and I are discussing it, no need to make any serious plans yet..." she indicated Hobbs while she spoke. "I don't want to have our lives get any more complicated then they already are... with me being pregnant and all."

"Your mom mentioned Jackson was going to be his name." John responded. "My uncle would have been honored."

"I hope so."

"Oh I knew the man.. You choose well.. If Jackson Yamaguchi is anything like his mother then all will turn out okay in the end." he smiled. "So.. Brianna, Do you have any preferences for your dinner?" he inquired. "Burger or Hotdog?"

"Oh, burger please." Brianna replied. "Yes, Celeste dropped that little bomb on me about the Ferasian kits. Still, if they don't have their parents they will need a good home and Celeste's heart is big."

John smiled as he peeled a rather large burger. "One or two?" he inquired as he lifted his flipper and yanked off four burgers then he peeled off four more and tossed the burgers onto the grill in their place. "Well.. We Yamaguchi's tend to not be subtle. I apologize for that."

"Just one please." Brianna answered. "No need to apologize, it does keep things interesting. Our home will now be home to three kits and three humans."

"Alright. If you need extra help with your children the rest of us will assist as needed... " as he flipped the burgers on the grill, before he selected a burger bun and he placed the burger into it, which he then handed to Hobbs. "Here you go,"

"I'll keep that in mind when they act up and I'm tempted to take them on a walk to the air lock." Brianna told him. "Thanks for the burger."

John chuckled softly. "Fair enough." he commented. "If you want more.. I have several thousand more and I'll happily cook for you."

Celeste meanwhile was busy preparing her own food. "Mmm.." as she eyed the two hot dogs in their bread rolls in her hands. "Brianna.. you wanna go sit down and eat?"

"Yah, I would." She told her. "I'd also like a beer to wash this food down."

Celeste nodded. "Okay." and she went over to where the small cooler was located, she retrieved the drinks and came back over. "One beer for you and a can of soda for me." she smiled. "No drinking for me."
as she handed Hobbs the beer.

"Your no fun." Brianna smiled at Celeste. "Does your father do these things often?"

"Not as often as I or my kin would prefer." Celeste sat down next to Hobbs. "Mmmm." as she took a bite of her food. "Yes.."

Brianna took several bites of food. "Your father can grill a good burger."

Celeste smiled as she took a bite of the hot dog in her hand. "Mmm... I've yet to have any issues with Dad's cooking." she sighed, clearly enjoying herself. "I may have to request bigger quarters."

"Your already a department head, I doubt your quarters can get much larger." She told her.

"Not I'm not exactly in family sized quarters." Celeste responded. "Besides. the sizes are much bigger then they used to be on previous classes of ships." she slowly smiled. "Maybe I could ask Nog't to come in and rebuild my quarters, giving me more rooms.."

"Maybe, I think I would run it by Zuko before you do any remodeling to the Dreamcrusher." She replied.

"No need...." Celeste responded. "I'll mention it to McKnight.. and proceed from there."

"Don't spend too much time on it. Otherwise, your starting to sound like Yoshi Baldwin." Brianna told her.

Celeste chuckled softly. "I am the Exec of Dreamcrusher these days.. Besides... If I need space, I'll simply request it and call it a day.. I do not need to beg anything from anyway.." Celeste took a bite of her burger. "I could get used to this... wearing red I mean... Instead of teal."
