Timeline: 0800Hrs - October 25th, 2393

Lt Commander Kameron Solusar-Yamaguchi regarded his spouse as the two slowly made their way into the medical complex for her checkup with Doctor Kadian Paris. This was going to be an educational morning, it showed too as Yamaguchi-Solusar had issues getting out of bed. Her muscles were cramping up due to not enough care and Solusar-Yamaguchi had decided that if Doctor Paris didn't sideline her. He then would need to take more direct steps to look after matters.

The massive set of double doors parted at their approach. Vanguard's hospital was a busy space, with all sorts of people coming and going. Today was nothing out of the ordinary with two dozen people all waiting on medical attention for various issues.

Yamaguchi-Solusar smiled gently as she went over to the main desk. "Hey Beth, How-" was as far as one of the Andorian nurses commented before she stopped, upon noting the look and state of the woman she was addressing. "I assume you have an appointment?"

"I do. Yes." Yamaguchi-Solusar answered as she gently nodded her head. "With Doctor Paris at the top of the hour," she explained why she was standing here and now.

"I see it now." the Andorian Zhen answered with a nod. "Let me page her for you." the Andorian tapped the display before her. "Doctor Paris, to the front desk, please. Doctor Paris to the front desk please?"

Meanwhile, ensconced inside her little den of sin. Doctor Kadian Paris was reading up on Elizabeth's medical history. She knew that her workmate sometimes had an issue with skipping meals amid a few other things. However, these circumstances were hardly normal and all involved knew it.

The com system beeped at her. "Doctor Paris, to the front desk, please. Doctor Paris to the front desk please?" as Paris rose to her feet. She knew what this was for and why she was being called now. The handsome female donned her lab coat before departing her office.

Paris reached her destination a few minutes later. She stopped at the desk as she nodded to Elizabeth Yamaguchi and her spouse who stood at her side before she turned to the Andorian behind the desk. "Need I ask?" Paris inquired simply, rather than ask a whole pile of questions when there was no need to do so.

The Andorian nodded her head. "Doctor Yamaguchi-Solusar here is here to see you," she explained.

Paris turned back to the two people before her. "Good Morning you two. If you'll follow me. I can see you now." and with that, she turned and walked back through the set of double doors. Elizabeth following, hot on the smaller woman's heels.

The three did not exchange any further words until they reached Paris's little domain. Elizabeth slipped off her uniform jacket and she slipped her pregnant form onto a table while Paris took a seat nearby and Kameron likewise took a seat in silence.

"Okay. Beth. I've been made aware of your issues and concerns... I've been keeping up with your troubles since your usual Doctor asked me for a consult six weeks ago. He wanted to pass you off to me. I agreed." Paris explained why she was here and not the usual Doctor.

Kameron raised an eyebrow. "That's because of the fact that you are a research scientist." he paused. "In addition to being a Doctor."

"Indeed Kam." Paris nodded her head. "Computer began scans of patient present seated on the biobed," she added as Paris opened her tricorder and went to work.

A few minutes later. Paris finished. "Okay. I'll get the stupid out of the way first..." she sucked in a lungful of air before she started. "I am going to be sidelining you, Beth," she explained. "Your stress levels are through the roof. Your blood pressure is way too high," Paris paused. "But that's because of your insane workload... This issue has been permitted to go unaddressed for far too long."

Kameron spoke up before Beth could. "What does that mean, exactly Kadian?." He addressed her by her first name rather than her rank or her posting. This was highly unusual for Kameron and Paris knew it.

"What it means is that the medical command has fucked up hard and they left your wife to work as a slave for way too long and what's worse... They let her carry on a workload that was not only unreasonable, it was also unsustainable." Paris indicated Beth as she spoke.

Beth then spoke up. "What are my issues?. Specifically," she commented.

"You've got deficiencies all over the place and your not getting anywhere enough rest." Paris sighed softly. "The fact that you have a one-year-old child in the house is further causing issues."

Kameron shared a look with his wife. Paris stopped talking as she knew that an entire conversation could be shared by a married couple with a language all of their own. It was subtle and cryptic, what was more was that it was also based on love and understanding. Kameron nodded and he turned to Paris. "We will ask for help from our family in regards to looking after Robert..." he paused. "How long will you be sidelining Elizabeth here.?"

Paris looked at Elizabeth as the two of them shared a look. Paris raised an eyebrow. "Until either her situation improves, she comes back from maternity leave or we end up going to war with the Tholians... Whichever comes first." Paris paused as she raised a hand, indicating that she needed a moment longer to finish what she was saying. "If I have my way. It won't be until after Beth here has had her baby and then come back from maternity leave."

"Alright," Yamaguchi-Solusar answered. "Any special instructions for me before I go home?"

Paris nodded. "Yes. I have several sets of instructions for you." as she picked up a PADD and handed it to the large female before her. "Your new meal plan. Also some bedtime reading for you about your issues and a way to resolve them... Also, Kam, take your wife to bed and be gentle while you bed her..." she paused. "As of now. I am relieving you of all of your assigned duties... Go home, go get some sleep... Your situation must improve Beth before I can even consider restoring your active duty status... Now don't look at this as a bad thing... For what it's worth to you... You need to rest girl... You are the badass that could do anything for as long as needed... It's time for that to end..." Paris explained. "I will be explaining this to Doctor Sokanon when I see her."

Kameron handed his wife's uniform jacket back to her. "Will you get into trouble for this?"

"Oh... I sincerely hope so." Paris suddenly grinned. Kameron felt the air cool by ten degrees as he almost cringed. "I'm going to make someone suffer most dearly for this travesty." Paris gave Kameron a malicious grin. "I am going to deal with this issue, once... and for all." as she smiled sweetly at Kameron. "I am going to ask Doctor Dvald to stick in requests for new people to replace you. I will update your records... Thank you for coming in... I will walk you both to the entrance." as Paris regarded Beth in silence.

Yamaguchi-Solusar donned her uniform jacket. "Kadian. Don't let your personal feelings get in the way of what you must do... Kam here already stuck Galiaan on notice..." as she gave her husband a gentle, appreciative grin. "Come on... I'm hungry again."

Kameron smiled. "Sounds good to me. Let's go eat..." he commented. "Grandma Rachael has already said she would take over looking after our son... So I have you all to myself..."

"I look forward to it." Beth gave her husband an impish grin. "I have been a bad girl recently."

"Come on you two," Paris commented. "Let's get going." as the smaller framed female let out a soft sigh. Paris reminded herself that she was never going to find her own Kameron Yamagucji-Solusar if she didn't make herself more available for others to get to know and maybe date.

With that, the three of them departed the medical office in silence.
