Julien rang the chime to La’kia’s quarters.

The pregnant Zaharan was sitting on the floor on a blanket watching A’naad play as she read through various reports that the Ambassador was behind on. “Enter,” she said simply, acutely aware it was Julien and naturally curious about his visit.

Julien came in, dressed - quite unusually - in civilian clothes, black loose slacks and a black shirt. As soon as he saw them he smiled and immediately sat down next to them, hugging and kissing his son, he was by now apt to navigate the lighter gravity. He greeted her looking into her eyes and inclining his head while playing with A’naad. A probing glance also went down to her belly.

For a while he just played with A’naad, it was obvious he wanted to say something, but he kept smiling. Then when A’naad had settled down again a bit between them, his mismatched green eyes met hers again.

“So I thought about it all again. Even though we are currently at different places as to which kind of relationship we want and need, there is no doubt about the fact that you and A’naad and Flavia need me. This second birth could be even more complicated than the first one medically and nobody except for me and Sage can make sure everything goes well. I can’t leave you alone with this. ” he said calmly.

“I’ve talked with Starfleet Command about it, they can’t delay the Genesis’ mission just because of me, so I’ve asked to be relieved of duty for an indefinite amount of time. They’ve accepted. Tomorrow a cargo ship can bring us back to Earth.” he said and his smile widened.
