Elizabeth Yamaguchi gently sat back down behind her desk as she regarded the small, heavily pregnant Bolian woman before her. "Now.. that you helped me... Its my turn to help you." she regarded the pregnant Bolian as she spoke, she then indicated the chair while she spoke.

Siaxx slid her small body into a chair. "I wasn't expecting that to get out of hand the way it did... We were not here to help you. I apologize for derailing your work."

"Do't worry about it Siaxx... Its fine. I feel better actually.." Yamaguchi answered quietly. "I appreciate you taking the time."

Siaxx smiled. "So... What now?"

"Now... I attempt to help you how you helped me." Yamaguchi answered quietly. "So you've been facing this pregnancy more or less alone... Has Phoenix been helping you?" Elizabeth inquired.

"She's... well trying in her own... limited way I guess you could say?" Dvald answered quietly. "She's more or less been enabling me to deal with various other things." the small Bolian female sighed softly.

"With getting angry and or emotional?" Elizabeth inquired gently but in a knowing tone of voice.

"I wouldn't put it quite like that.." Siaxx answered.

"I personaly would.. Maybe you read your own report on the situation that happened ten days ago with Rachael..." Elizabeth tapped a PADD with her finger. "This report to be specific... Then there was the sex joke incident with Saki... I know all the specifics of who reported her to child services by the way.."

Siaxx regarded the massive woman with a guarded look. "You knew.... and you couldn't tell me?"

"I was informed two days ago Siaxx... Not being able to tell you was one thing... You think I wanted to sit on what that bastard tried to do to my niece.." Elizabeth asked softy. Siaxx was many things and she could read between the lines, there was no mistaking the dark rage that clouded the younger woman's eyes. "I wanted to tear his head from hs fucking neck... For what he did to my own blood. I was... forced to not do anything untill Fleet Captain Omakan releived your second officer of duty this morning." Elizabeth glared at Siaxx, raw fury and hate in her eyes. "For it was he... Who caused this entire mess in the first place."

"I'll fucking kill him..." Siaxx hissed softly. "Elizabeth... I regard Saki as if she was my own child."

"No, you won't." Elizabeth responded quietly, before she smiled. "You and Rachael have been friends a long time... Why didn't you two try to resolve it..?"

"I wasn't sure how... I've never had my thought processes scrambled with all the pregnancy hormones..." Siaxx ran her hands over her bald head, a sign of frustration. "I hate it... Not being able to think rationally."

Elizabeth regarded her, a gentle smile on her lips. "You'll get used to it.." the massive woman responded. "Considering I'm just starting on my second pregnancy now... I'm about a month along."

"Elizabeth.. thats wonderfull news... I assume this was planned?" the older Bolian female responded, as she tried not to smile and failed dismally.

"Oh yes." Elizabeth answered. "This one was carefully planned... I'm not rushing into anything and I wouldn't be attempting a pregnancy this soon if Kameron wasn't behind me a hundred percent. He's giving up his flying career for this... The least I can do is help support him while he trains for a new career in the sciences." The taller woman explained. "But you Siaxx do need to decide what you are going to do at this point... You are not getting a lot of help, this is your first pregnancy and you are clearly not having the best time of the issues before you."

"I don't know what to do.." Siaxx admitted, the small Blian sounded flustered and frustrated.

"Thats why you come to me... I've been where you are now... Granted it was unplanned and my relationship between Tom Lasky his son, my mom and myself has always been complex... the fact remains that Kurt Lasky is my half-brother... But at the end of the day Siaxx.... I'm the one who gave him life.. otherwise Mom would have aborted... and I know it bothers her to this day... and I doubt its a demon she'll ever be rid of."

"Your mom is a brave woman.."

"My mom was reckless and highly irresponsible. She thought twenty minutes of mindless sex with Tom Lasky would cure him of his issues." the tall woman sighed softly. "Her heart was in the right place but... were it not for Nalla..." Elizabeth growled softly. "and Peeves.." now her anger darkened her voice. "I hate that fucking little piece of shit hologram. If I ever get my hands on his core matrix... I'll crush it in my gauntleted fist."

Siaxx regarded her young friend. "They say I need help... But maybe you should seek a counselor for yourself too." Siaxx responded, not unkindly. "It might be worth you talking to someone not connected to you about it... an outsider's perspective may do you the world of good."

"Yeah Siaxx... You're right.." Elizabeth Yamaguchi responded softly. "Some therapy for myself would be good... and my husband could use attention too.. Considering he has his own issues he can't talk about.."

Siaxx nodded her head. "Fortunately. I know a few people I can put you in touch with. I however... will come and see you.. If you are okay with that?"

"Of course Siaxx.. You are my friend.. and my mom's best friend."

"I didn't know she thought so highly of me." Siaxx sighed softly.

"Siaxx... You delivered Rachael when mom was pregnant with her, you also saved mom's life several times due to wounds. I heard you also saved more then a few crew members on the Courageous when she was damaged at Coridan."

"I was lucky Elizabeth.. Your dad was too." Siaxx sighed softly. "I always wondered why I got the Courageous..."

"Dad requested you, mom did too." Elizabeth explained. "Mom had a serious thing for you. Then you helped Rachael give birth to Saki and me give birth to Kurt. You seem to be the one my family always turns to when we're giving birth... I heard you were present for Gabe too with his first child."

"I was present for both his pregnancies.. Savannah had a lot of hassle to go through just to become pregnant, it was... quite invasive for her both times.." Siaxx explained. "I didn't like doing what I did... But she and I both knew it was necessary because her husband was ...." Siaxx regarded Elizabeth. "Please don't think less of your brother.."

"I know he's shooting blanks." Elizabeth answered softly. "I don't think any less of him for it... In fact I respect him as he's a man I can respect in my eyes... I see how seriously he takes their relationship and her. He treats her like a queen."

"You envy Savannah?" Siaxx inquired.

"No... I have my own marriage and my own family I'm busy working on... of course its nice that Kameron is gentle with me most nights... Sometimes I want to be gentle while other nights I prefer its Klingon style. Sometimes I find there is nothing better than him grabbing me, holding me down as he makes me scream..."

"Hey, you should try Bolian water wrestling while you're bedding your husband... It'll be educational for you both.." Siaxx sounded like she knew exactly what she was talking about as clearly she had tried it and enjoyed it.

"I can only imagine." Elizabeth suddenly grinned. "I'll try it.. After I look up the information I need for the subject."
