Lt Commander Odessa Smithers was wearing a spaghetti tank top and a pair of shorts, slowly blinked her eyes as she felt a wave of contentment wash over her, she was sitting on the lap of her on again-off again boyfriend as he gently massaged her shoulders, he always started at the top and worked his way down, and this was what started their relationship together, she was sure the man should have been a therapist but then she knew he did double as one, hers. Jorge Yamaguchi-Tienn who was also the son of her former commanding officer. Tienn-Yamaguchi Chesna and while she had gotten along well with her former skipper, she also liked her leadership style which also stretched to her children, one of whom Odessa was now dating.

Jorge gently kissed her on the side of her neck as she sighed softly, yes he did indeed know her well as she felt a soft sigh escape her lips. Suddenly as if determined to ruin her mood, the com system beeped at her. "Coms center to Lt Commander Odessa Smithers?"

Smithers suddenly wanted to scream as she knew that the interaction's between her and Jorge would lead to something she greatly enjoyed with him in about fifteen minutes or so. Jorge sat back as the half Bajoran woman climbed to her feet, she tapped her combadge affixed to just above her left breast with her right hand. "Smithers here, what is it Com Center?" she asked quietly.

"You have an incoming transmission from the USS Prinz Eugen. It's marked as personal. Do you want to take it.?"

Smithers nodded her head. "Yes. I'll take it." as she tapped the large wall monitor once, it came to life as she was talking. "I'm ready to receive the message now." as an image of a woman's face appeared, the woman in question looked like a mirror for Smithers herself. "hello... i hope you don't mind my calling like this but I heard about you and I figured it was time that I met you."

Smithers regarded herself on the display. "Yes, I would agree," she answered before she nodded her head once.

"Mom." came a child's voice from nearby as both women turned to see the source of the voice, it was a young boy who was bringing his mother something, she accepted it from him. "Thanks, sweetie." as she gave the PADD the once over. "Give me a few minutes okay, sweetie. I'm talking to your aunt."

"Hello." the child said to Odessa Smithers. "I'm Nathan... You look just like mom." the child addressed her.

"Your mom and I were twins sweetie... I'm Odessa and now we have been reunited at long last." Smithers answered the young boys statement with one of her own.

"Yay!" the child answered. "I'm gonna go find Mommy k?"

"Sure, go find Tiris... Actually, ask her for her thoughts on this." as she handed the PADD back who what was clearly her own child before he departed.

Kira Smithers sighed ever so softly. "I'm sorry about that, I should have locked the door." as she let out a sigh. "Nathen isn't good with respecting other people's spaces. I will impress that upon him."

"No no. it's fine... Because now that I know you and I are truly not the same person in two separate realities... Our lives were different and so will be our personalities. You are the version of me, that's native to this reality... How much of my situation were you briefed on?" Odessa inquired of her new sibling.

"All of it, you are from another reality and now are stranded here," Kira answered quietly. "What will you do now?"

Odessa paused. "Try to carry on as best as I can, take my boyfriend to bed and let him have his way with me... and you?"

"Take my wife to bed and make her scream," Kira answered with a smile. "Simple enough for us both right?"

"yep..." Odessa answered. "Starfleet will let me continue my career in the service so there is that little issue that's not an issue anymore," she added by way of explanation. "So I will go out into the field and see how your Starfleet operates and does things... Maybe it'll bring me some clarity."

Kira smiled as she regarded her twin before her. "Well, if we can help. The rest of our family and I will be there for you."

"Thank you," Odessa answered. "I was an orphan in my reality of origin... so actually having a family will be nice to have..." she paused. "Sorry.." she added in a sheepish manner. "I didn't mean to unload all of that on you like that."

"No... It's okay... At least you'll get to know mom and dad... in addition to Melissa and Nathan... You'll love him, he's always making stuff in his forge... Thrills me to no end to know that he's working with far more deadly things then I am."

"You're a tactical officer?, I went Engineering..." Odessa slowly grinned. "Its good to know what while we might be twins, we are unique to ourselves."

"That's great. When we're at the same port together, we should get together for dinner. You bring your boyfriend and I'll bring my wife and son."

"Sounds great..." Odessa agreed with a wide smile on her lips. "I look forward to it."

Jorge regarded his girlfriend as he went into the next room, he knew she would be a while yet and so he opted to start looking into where his sibling was stationed, sitting down on the bed and picking up a PADD, he went to work.
