Posted by Lieutenant Miriam Cross (Chief Medical Officer) in The Dragon bar -
Cross along with Kate who was carrying a pile of female’s clothes entered the Dragon bar she glared at Joe ,then looked around for the Orion female who by the look of things was happily eating blueberry crepes ..both women approached her .Kate spoke first ‘’ Hi D’Nesh how are feeling this morning ?’’ the Orion looked up and smiled she had blueberry smudged around her mouth ‘’Joe made them for me he’s nice now ‘’ was her simple response. ‘’ Look I have brought you nice and decent clothes to wear ,we are your friends now and what you use or make made you do is in the past ‘’ D’Nesh frowned apparently she did not quite understand but was elated to see the clothes which Kate had put them on an empty chair ‘’They are all yours now to take to your cabin’‘.

Cross on the other hand was thinking *Huh he even made her blueberry crepes while he did not even care to say good morning to me when he rushed in sickbay and took her away without my permission! *

The CMO sat next to her ‘’D’Nesh why do you think the doctor is a beast ?’’ Cross asked ‘’ Cause..cause he got angry , got hold of Joe’s shirt and pulled him’’ she replied licking her fingers ‘’Why did he do that ?Do you know? ‘’ the young female shrugged her shoulders and pointed at Joe ‘’I heard him say Miri , to look after her for a baby ..I think ‘’ Cross took a deep breath while putting a hand over her shoulder’’ Good girl just help Joe ‘’.

Now she stood up and headed towards the father to be ‘’ Can’t keep a promise eh,you had to tell Hunter!’’ Cross then turned to Kate who seemed to want to be anywhere but standing there ‘’ Tell me Kate what he told you ‘’ and with barley a whisper she replied “Just take care of her and tell Hunter he should be more worried about what might happen to himself ‘’.

The female doctor told Kate to leave and once he did turned to Joe ‘’ We need to hold a meeting ,I do not expect you and Hunter to be best buddies that will never happen but you took a dislike to him the first time you saw him in sickbay .The only thing you two have in common is the capability of being ignited by your explosive temper ‘’.

Cross CMO.

” Joe looked at Miri and said quite simply. ” No, we do not need to have a meeting. You and I are here right now. I’ve not done anything to be sorry for or be concerned about. I was only looking after the health of my child and the woman I love. Your mister Hunter is an alleged doctor on this ship, and he’s supposed to be a good one. I repeat his job here is as a physician. If he can’t do his job, then get rid of him. Hit him in the head and toss him in an empty torpedo tube is something I’d recommend.” Joe then turned away from Miri and walked back into the food prep area and soon appeared with another plate of blueberry crepes which he sat in front of Cross. ” Here your sugar is low or something. ” He said.

Joe then said as he tapped his fingers on the counter. ” Look Miri I’m not in Starfleet anymore. The only things I have to do is to treat people the way they deserve to be treated. He then nodded toward D’Nesh and said to Miri ,” In one day he’s frightened this poor thing to death turned your sick bay into a madhouse and caused trouble between the two of us. I don’t trust him anymore. I’m sure we can find someone else to look after you who isn’t going to stress you out. Personally, I’d rather have the Dentist care for you. “
