Coral Yamaguchi-Antilles smiled as she emerged from the shower, her sex-toy in her left hand as she felt much better then she had twenty minutes earlier when she had stepped into the shower, she placed her toy back into the drawer where she stored it, before lifting a towel which she wrapped around the upper part of her head, to start to try her long mane of hair before she slipped on a towel-dressing gown. She moved into the master bedroom in silence as she regarded the space, her husband was out in the main living area, learning the fine art of Klingon cuisine and needless to say, it had been something of an educational experience for all involved.

The girls had gone to get some sleep, after picking out their rooms earlier, and they were both shocked and surprised at being told they had their own room each other than to share a bed and a room with thirty other children. Coral and Lee had taken each of them to get some new clothing as he had decided that neither had enough clothing each, let alone between them for anything other than to look dirty. So now with ten sets of clothing each, including socks and underwear, they had both bathed and now looked clean in addition to having new clothing.

Coral had been in to check on them just a half-hour earlier., both girls were fast asleep in their beds, Coral smiled as she departed, leaving both girls to their rest, which in her eyes. both had earned the hard way, no privacy and no sense of security.

Coral finished drying herself off as she smiled, she truly felt amazing but then a long hot shower with amenities always took care of nagging issues, problems and concerns with stress. Coral knew that it was the same with her various siblings as they often did the same stress relievers that she, herself did.

Coral hung up her gown before she donned her clothing, she found herself wearing a pair of jogging pants with a light grey shirt, she looked every bit the consulate civilian and very little like the professional Starfleet officer she was by day, before she gently placed the combadge onto her chest, this was something she almost never took off, ever. A moment later she stepped out into the main living area where she found Lee standing at the kitchen table, helping himself to what looked like a slice of meat pie.

"How does it taste?" Yamaguchi-Antilles inquired of her husband.

"It's bland actually," Antilles answered in a light tone of voice. "This Rokeg blood pie is bland, its just plain dull... I'm going to introduce the girls to some English coking, cornish pasties and the like. Either way, we will know soon enough..." he answered with a gentle smile on his lips. "You recall my last attempt at cooking Bakewell tarts.?"

"I do... I recall eating like a pig and being sick for two days..." Yamaguchi-Antilles answered with a soft grin. "I also recall how that led to Warrick coming along, the sex that night was simply amazing..." as she let out a sigh. "Then a year later, we had that damnable mission and then we end up here..." she sighed as she shook her head.

Suddenly the comm system beeped. "Bridge to Captain Yamaguchi-Antilles?" came the voice of the Beta Shift as this ship had a four shift rotation which was something Coral greatly preferred as a six-hour shift rather than an eight-hour shift. This would give more people, more flexibility with their time off and it would also allow other people to serve in postings they would normally not see on a ship with a three-shift rotation. Many of her siblings did a four shift rotation and she knew from personal experience that a four shift rotation often worked best for larger ships. Yamaguchi-Antilles lightly tapped her combadge. "Yamaguchi-Antilles here, go ahead?"

"Sir, you got a personal message coming in from the USS Coral Sea, do you want to take it?"

Yamaguchi-Antilles shared a grin with her husband. "I do, go ahead and pipe it down here," she commented. "Thanks, bridge... What else is happening up there?"

"We're back on our shakedown course, everything is routine." came the expected answer.

"Thanks, Yamaguchi-Antilles out." and with that, she went over to the wall monitor, with a gentle tap of her finger, it activated as the face of her daughter appeared, her spouse beside her. "Hey, ladies, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" Coral proceeded to sit down in the chair before the large wall monitor. Antilles came over as he nodded to his daughter and her spouse. "Ladies... What's up?"

"Well... You see, it kinda goes like..." Autumn started before she stumbled over her own words.

"Autumn, just say it," Ajal commented with a nod. "Say it and be done with the matter before you." the Klingon added.

"You tell them, you tell it better then I do," Autumn answered.

"Nope, this is your news to share..." Ajal answered with a smile.

"Ladies, the universe grows old, what's going on?" Yamaguchi-Antilles inquired with a gentle smile.

"Well mom, I'm pregnant again..." Autumn answered with a soft sigh. "It was unplanned and a little earlier then I was expecting but... I can't say its bad news..."

Antilles grinned at his daughter. "Congratulations honey..." he answered as Yamaguchi-Antilles regarded her daughter with an expert eye. "This wasn't what you wished... Was it... too soon, too quick... You wanted to wait for a little..." she explained for her daughter's benefit.

"Am I that obvious?" Autumn asked of her mother.

"No, I just know you," Yamaguchi-Antilles answered, a smile on her lips. "Besides, the girls will be awake soon and I know they will wish to see you Ajal," she added with a smile. "The twins are... interesting."

Ajal's countenance brightened considerably. "You succeeded? you have them with you?... now?"

"Yes, I did... They are presently sleeping. Lee and I decided to let them rest..." Yamaguchi-Antilles answered with a nod. "They are children, we don't plan to raise them as Klingons, we plan to raise them so they are themselves... Not slaves for the empires furnaces or wars of glory," she added, almost as a declaration of intent.

Antilles interrupted. "Kosleht and Khalest will be safe with us." he paused. "Though they don't seem to like our version of Klingon cooking... But that's okay, I plan to try other foods with them."

"They are children, they will understand someday..." Ajal answered simply. "We do this for them... Not for us..."
