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.

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.

“Oh there really isn’t any difference between adult and kid medicine except everything is…smaller,” she said. It sounded logical to her. “It’s not like kids grow extra organs. You will be fine. What’s the worst that could happen? A skinned knee because they tripped on the carpet. ” Stuffing her feet into the pair of shoes, Kate continued. “It is also good to do nice things for people. When my dad was on the Tie no one ever wanted to watch us because they totally freaked at the thought something would go wrong and the CO would hold it against them. There were times I think my mom would have let a rogue band of Ferengi Traders watch us for an hours peace. Besides,” Kate got a bit more solemn. “I…I loved it when we did this sort of thing back home. It was,” she shrugged a bit uncomfortable for the first time with him. She started the topic and needed a way to get out. “You know I loved the idea of pretending we were married and they were our kids once upon a time. Now we can do it because ......it is a nice thing to do. So let’s go,” Kate said quickly heading towards the door.

“Wait..” Shaun said softly, grabbing her wrist as he pulled her close to him as he took her into his arms. Placing his arms around her hips he looked down in her eyes as he leaned in closer as slowly let his lips find hers as he brushed back a strand of hair across her face.

“We don’t have to pretend to be married… you are not for one second no longer the love of my life. Our past is just that, in the past. I want you just as much as the day I asked you out that night for the prom when no one asked you. I realized back then I loved you more than just my best friends plucky little sister. You are everything for me, to me, and I don’t for one second want you to ever think you are not enough.” Shaun said as he held onto her a bit longer, letting his words sink into her.

Kate kissed him with a smirk. “Oh I know I am enough the question is can you handle all this,” she made a swirling gesture with her hands over the front of her body. “Now come on. We cant be late. It is the Captain’s kids we are watching.”

==============================================

Kate held Shaun’s hand until the reach Rivar’s quarters. There she shook herself free. It would not look good for her and Shaun to be arriving like some love-struck teen couple. Reaching forward she palmed the lock and waited for the Captain or his wife to open it.
