“Not a problem. Just be careful. You’ll have access to the cabin and the refresher, everything else is locked down. And Vanessa is very particular about who touches what.” and he chuckled. “I’ll go make it up. You girls say goodnight and I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

For a moment after Micah had left the two women just gazed at each other. Mirrors of each other and yet still very different. It was Shara who made the first move and reached for Nadine’s hand, giving it a firm squeeze.

Gazing back, Nadine blew out a breath. “What a day!” she said with a laugh.

“Indeed. But plenty more tomorrow,” Shara said, releasing her hand. She started to put things back in her trunk. “I’ll have my meeting tomorrow, so don’t feel you have to stick around if you want to explore.”

“What, worried I’ll overhear more colourful conversations?” Nadine teased.

Shara laughed. “Nah, anyone who knows me knows that that is what me angry looks like and if you don’t want to be subject to it, don’t make me angry.”

“Noted!” And yes, there was a gleam in Nadine’s eyes, but at the same time, knowing what little she really did of Shara, she was also serious.

Micah walked out to the ship and set up the security protocols. He then made up the cabin and made sure the replicator was unlocked and the comm terminal in the cabin was accessible to Nadine… recording everything, of course. As he was about to step outside, he paused. He stood still for a moment, then turned and went to the cockpit. He activated the comms, composed a message, and sent to to the Manhattan and to Faye.

=/\= Hey. We’re turning in for the night. Your sister is sleeping in my ship. I’ve keyed the comms so any call from you goes right to her bedside. I thought, if you want, that may be a good time to talk to her if you want. Just the two of ya. No third or fourth parties involved. Comms are open. Use ‘em if you want. =/\= and there was a pause.

=/\= You’ve taken a lot, these past few months. Lotta bad shit… Im glad you are getting some good shit to balance it out. I’ll watch out for Sha. Later, Faye. =/\= and he sent the message priority.

Micah walked back into the house slowly, and as he came through the door said “Ok, you are all set.”

“Yeah,” Nadine said as she grabbed her bag and turned back to gaze at her birth mother. “I never gave up, but there was a point where I stopped looking. I figured maybe the timing was wrong. I’m so glad I was right about that. I don’t know if now if better than any other time, but”-she looked between Micah and Shara-“I can tell you’re happy here together and well, I really like having this all happen at a good time. As for Faye and the rest of it, well, one day at a time, right?”

“Always the way,” Shara said.

“Day at a time, kiddo.” Micah said with a smile.

Nadine grinned at both of them and heading out the door to the ship.

~Shara & Nadine

Micah made sure she got inside and the hatch was shut before he looked back at Shara. “So… if this is just our second day married… imagine what’ll happen tomorrow!” and he laughed as he walked over to her and put his arms around her.

“As long as it doesn’t involve moonshine, we’re probably doing pretty good,” Shara quipped as she nestled her head against his. “Promise me it’s going to be okay?” she whispered. Today had been a lot… for everyone. But not so unlike that moment after visiting Faye in the brig and telling her she had been the one to help her escape from that Tal Shiar prison cell, everything felt off-kilter and she was struggling to find her footing. But Micah’s presence was solid and steady and she could admit to herself she needed that more than ever right now.

~Shara & Nadine

Micah held her close and said “Honey… Sha… I love you more than air. And I promise you that I will do everything in my power to make sure this is all ok. Now… let’s go to bed. And for once, I won’t put these moves on ya before hand.” and he grinned and clapped and did the worst impression of a burlesque dancer ever.
