Commander Wesley Crusher turned around when he heard the doors to Engineering open and shut. As chief engineer, he was used to hearing those doors open many times during the day. But, what greeted him this time made him smile. There was Robin Lefler, his now wife of almost a year. She had declined taking his last name, but loved him nonetheless. In her arms was a little 4 month old redheaded infant. His daughter, Ann Morgan Crusher. Her red hair had surprised him at first but started noticing what a resemblance she shared with his mother.
Robin walked up to him and greeted Wes with a kiss. "Wes would you take her for just a few moments? The nursery attendant can only tolerate her crying for so long and if she's with one of us she won't cry."
"So why can't you take her Robin? I'm fairly busy here you know." Wesley complained as he took his daughter into his arms.
"Because if I bring her up onto the bridge one more time, Riker will have a fit. As much as he loves children, even she can become a nuisance at times. You know, I wish you would have told your mother what was going on. Maybe we could get her to come back and baby-sit when sickbay isn't busy." Robin had a sly grin on her face as she mentioned that.
"Robin, she doesn't even know we're married. Let alone have Ann around." Wes winced a little as he thought of his mother's reaction to it all and the possible pain he might face.
Robin had to toss a comment over her shoulder as she started to walk away. "Well then, I guess tomorrow would be the perfect time to tell her. I'll make sure you have time to be the one to greet when she gets here." She turned just slightly so she could see the shock on his face as she laughed and walked out the door and into the corridor.
