Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Kate O’Neill (Chief of Security) in Grecken’s Quarters - Mrs. Shaun Grecken....Maybe?

Glancing at the clock Kate’s eyes got wide. There was no way she could be late to this. “Shoot. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot,” she mumbled rolling out of Shaun’s arms before he could grab her. Snagging her pants that were piled on the floor, Kate pulled them on quickly jumping to pull them up.

“You and I are going on a date. Get dressed,” Kate said throwing a shirt at his face. Her aim was great and his t-shirt from sometime over the last two days landed squarely over his eyes. Kate had no reason to think Shaun would refuse to come with her babysitting but sometimes it was just fun to pretend to convince him to do something. Tonight was that kind of night.

“What now?” Shaun asked her, unsure as to what she even meant. He had just come home after a long day that had been tense as it was, he just wanted to curl up with his Katie Bug.

Kate crawled across the bed and straddled Shaun sitting on his hips. “Come on Hero,” Kate said taking his wrists in her hands and raising them above his head. Leaning her face down close to his she whispered, “I will make it worth your while. We can play house. I will make fish sticks and mac n cheese for dinner. You can play with the kiddos before dinner.” Eskimo kissing him with the tip of her nose, Kate shook her hair enough that long strands fell around his face tickling his cheeks.

“What on Earth do you mean? Play with the kiddos? What have you gotten us into?” he said as he looked at her wide eyed. He didn’t remember plans, especially with kids. The ship had maybe a dozen or so kids on it, so he wasn’t even sure whose kids she meant.

“You know…pretend we are Mr. and Mrs. Grecken with two kids…like I always wanted.” Pausing for a second she looked deep in his eyes. Because I have never stopped wanting that. “So,” Kate sat up, “put that shirt on,” she leaned over and zerberted his tummy, “and let’s go babysit the Captian’s kids,” she finally told Shaun of their destination.

Lt. (j.g.) Kate O’Neill, CoS

Taking the shirt Shaun put it on slipping out of his uniform. “Wait Captain Calin and Commander Salazar? Their kids? Why the devil are we babysitting their kids? I am not a pediatrician here love.” he said, seeming to know that there was no stopping here though.
