{ON}

Sky was lying on her ‘bed’ when reading a book when the doors to the security section opened, she’d kind of been expecting people to drop by.

"Hiya." Tony said holding a fleece blanket and some comfy pillows. "I thought you could use some more comfort."

Sky grinned as she sat up. Soran had made sure she was comfortable, but extra comfort was always welcome. “Thank you Tony! You know me, a person who loves creature comforts!”

"Yes and you need it now being pregnant. Is Ren taking care of you?"

Sky nodded. “Very good care of me” She smiled warmly. “I’m the most pampered prisoner security has ever had!”

"Not so loud ladies you'll ruin my reputation," Soran said as he stepped through the door.

"Hey Ren." Tony smiled. "It is good to hear." She gave him a quick kiss.

Sky smiled. “You two make such a lovely couple you know that?”

"She's lovely I'm tough as nails," Soran said.

Sky giggled. “If you say so, but I think we both know otherwise!” She gave Tony a smile, then looked back at Soran. “I’m glad the two of you got together, I really am.”

"Thank you. It took us a while, but I am very happy. And I am not that tough, just stubborn."

Sky grinned. “Like someone else I know” she was talking about Xavier. “I really hope I haven’t caused any problems for Xavier where Starfleet is concerned. When we started out with me volunteering to have a baby for Tal and Xavier, I never expected to be preparing to marry Xavier and become the second Mrs Carey.”

"I am glad it is working out so well for you. Don't tell my granddad though, he would frown on relationships like that. Did you talk to Nick again?"

Sky shook her head. “I haven’t had chance, plus the fact I’m torn. I spoke to your grandfather, he genuinely cares for Nick but I can’t condone Nick going there to be talked into going back into the military.”

'He's not going to stay with granddad. That's for sure." Tony said. "I love the old man and he can talk to Nick but my brother is not staying with him. We have to find another arrangement."

Sky nodded. “It’s probably for the best, but perhaps the counsellor’s at Starfleet Medical should sort that out. My judgement has already been called into question where Nick is concerned.”

"I've contacted Wain and Denise, Nick would be more comfortable dealing with Denise. Soran explained. "So that's what we're gonna try and make happen."

“I’m glad, I need to know that Nick will be okay when he leaves here.” Sky smiled as she looked towards Tony. “You’ll keep me up-to-date won’t you?”

"Ehm yes but are you sure you don't want to keep treating him until he leaves? That could be days even weeks and he needs someone." Tony asked. She had not known yet that aunt Denni had agreed.

“Don’t worry Nick won’t be without help, that I promise you.” Sky smiled warmly. “I just...don’t want to make Xavier’s life any harder than it already is.”

"So who do you have looking after him then?" Tony said. "Xavier did not say you could not treat him. Please Sky, he is my only brother."

“I believe Soran just said that Denise would be helping Nick” She looked at Soran just double checking her facts. “Until then I’ll do what I can for him.”

Soran nodded, "Yes Denise said she would help."

He paused choosing his next words carefully, "I think we should consider giving him a little space, I suggested that he talked to his mother and he was receptive."

“That’s wonderful” Sky smiled. “Let’s give him the space he needs.”

Tony nodded. Part of her was disappointed he wanted to talk to mum and not her but this was about Nick. "If you both think it is enough. Will you continue to visit him Ren?"

"Of course," Soran said. "I'm sure he'll talk to you when hes ready."

"Yeah. Well I am glad he is talking to someone at least."

Sky stifled a yawn, she didn’t normally get tired that early but with not a lot to concentrate her mind on it was starting to catch up.

"Maybe I should let you catchup on some sleep. And make sure you treat her right." She smiled at Ren.

Sky grinned. “He’s been treating me like a welcome guest. Thank you both for all this, it’s like a fun night out camping or something.” She fluffed her pillow and put the blanket out ready for use.

With that Tony left them alone and headed to her own quarters.

Giving Soran a warm smile Sky looked around. Now just where should she change into her nightwear?
