“You got it. And all your things are there already. One of the perks of being in good with the Ops Chief.” Daggum said with a smile.

The lift took them form Deck 1 where the Conference Room was to Deck 4 where the Department Head quarters were. He led her down the passage until they came to a door marked simply 4/5 Alpha. The door slid open to reveal a large room with a door off to either side. “So since we are both Department Heads, we each are allowed a DH room. So I asked and between Ops and Engineering we just made those two rooms one. Besides… they design those rooms for human-sized people. It was corwded with just me in mine.” and he chuckled. “We have a bedroom, bathroom with a hot tub, living area and small kitchenette. No stove or oven; but we do have a two place induction burner, cold storage, and a sink. I’ve stocked dishes and the fridge.”

Faye stepped in and looked around, a soft smile on her face. “All we need is my pizza oven,” she said, tossing a glance over shoulder. “I did bring it you know,” she added with a gleam in her eyes.

Daggum said “Cochrane and Wynter both said not to let you plug that thing in anywhere we didn’t want to burn down.” and he laughed.

“No way. Don’t believe it. They never gave me any grief even when I cooked for them using it. They can’t get mad at me after the fact,” she retorted.

The room they were in had a large couch and low table in front flanked by two large chairs big enough for Daggum to sit in comfortably. Along the walls were transparent frames holding old comic books, but with space left open for Faye. The kitchen area was partially separated by an island with the sink. The door to the left led to the bedroom and bathroom, the door to the right was locked. “That’s a secure comm station. Didn’t make sense you having to run halfway through the ship to take a call.”

Tess lifted her head from her cat bad, took note of Faye and promptly went back to sleep. “Nice to see you too,” Faye said with a chuckle before she continued circling the room, taking in the details.

She turned back to Daggum, a mix of emotions in her eyes. “You really did think of everything, didn’t you?” There was room for her yoga stuff to be stashed out of the way too and room enough to roll out her mat. There was wall space for their mystery painting from Nadine as well. She knew he was changing things in his life too, but perhaps this was the most obvious sign of it as well.

“Well… thats kinda my thing, you know.” Daggum said softly and smiled down at her and said “Welcome home, wife.” and wrapped his arms around her. He held her for a few moments and then said “But your first priority is to unpack your stuff in the bedroom. If you don’t, you will have to sleep on the couch because there won’t be enough room for us both.” and he laughed.

Faye laughed as well. “Fine, but we need to follow my sister’s instructions first and unwrap the painting. If I can find it,” she said, her eyes skimming her belongings. Nadine had been very specific that she had painted something for them and she wanted them to wait till Faye got to the Athena. Why, she had no idea, but all she knew is that her sister was rather bossy and that that air of authority that either came from being a teacher or Shara’s daughter. Or both.

Finding it carefully leaning up against a wall, Faye brought over the piece and set it on the sofa, layers of fabric protecting the canvas from any bumps. “Ready?”

“Do it already.” Daggum said with a grin.

Micah had told her about Nadine’s work in her apartment, so it didn’t surprise her that the piece was a slightly abstract ocean scene, but between the cliffs and the sweeping cove, the location was one she knew instantly and she sucked in a breath. There was a card there and when Faye read it, she passed it to Daggum without comment.

Faye & Daggum, I hesitated to paint Muir Beach but couldn’t explain why I felt it was necessary. Maybe it is because it’s a place that meant a lot to Faye at a time when she needed respite. Or perhaps it’s because if that night where everything became revealed on the holodeck and that led you two to having a future together. The hows and whys don’t always matter but through any hard times you might endure, remember that it’s together that you shine, that you rise above. I love you both,

~Nadine

“She’s really good,” Faye said, reaching out to brush her finger along some of the brush strokes.

~Faye

Daggum eyes the picture and said “Yeah, she really is. That’s… something else.” He looked around the room and said “Ok… in here or the bedroom? Your call.”
