Cross made her way to the dragon bar,she had not seen Joe for a couple of days ‘’Maybe he’s been busy ‘’ she muttered to herself ‘’Or flirting with the female crew ,guess I should have listened to Hunter ‘’.

Entering the bar ,she sat on the first available seat next to the bar wondering how long it would take for Joe to actually see her .The CMO was fed up with juices what she really wanted was a shot of vodka, after all just one was not going to harm the baby but would Joe serve her one?..she very much doubted.

Joe was at the other end of the bar taking an inventory of some of the supplies they had there. He heard someone walk in but he didn’t get into much of a hurry. There wasn’t much of anything but a skeleton crew on board and none of them were in any hurry to do much. After Joe finished the shelf he was working on he stood up to see Cross standing at the bar. A forced smile appeared on his face as he walked down the bar. ” Been a long time Counselor.” Joe said in a neutral voice. ” What can I get for you?”

Cross picked up on the forced smile after all she knew the man inside out ‘’ Yes long time no see ‘’ she replied ‘’Something tells me you ain’t that elated to see me and I can’t help but wonder why ‘’ .

” I’m sure you could figure that out doctor if you put your mind to it. It wasn’t that long ago that we had our last chat. Or could it be you have forgotten? Considering what we were discussing I can’t rightly say which would be worse. Whether you forgot about the subject of our talk or you forgot about me. ” It was Joe. If you wanted to wander into the pen with a grumpy bull, then one must consider that he might charge you. Joe was plain and blunt.

Her mouth was not exactly a smiling rosy flower ,she was unfazed by his grumpiness .

’’ Whether you forgot about the subject of our talk or you forgot about me. “.
She looked at him with penetrating eyes ‘’ Had I forgotten about you I wouldn’t be here would I’’ Cross retorted ‘’ And I have no idea what you are talking about, so do please enlighten me ‘’.

Having said his piece for the moment Joe reached under the bar and pulled out a shot glass and set it onto the bar. He looked Cross square in the eyes with not a bit conciliation in them. Setting the glass down on the bar rather loudly he asked her. ” So, what’ll it be doc. What’s your poison?”

That feeling she had managed to subdue for quiet some time was rising but the little voice came back Calm down. Just calm down.
‘’Poison ? Apple juice would do just fine ‘’.

Joe knew that Miri was holding back her anger at him. He wasn’t as dumb as she thought he was. It was just that she most generally began to throw things at him instead of trying to talk. Which in the end would have probably shown her an entirely different side to him. He was not angry with her now. He was angry with himself. His own weakness. His own weakness about the way she could make him feel. About her and the baby. Joe was a man who would most usually not care for anyone or anything that he didn’t want to. But Miri he swore had put some kind of witches, curse on him. One which of late felt like blade in his spleen being twisted slowly.

Joe set the apple juice in front of Miri as he cast about for thing to say. At first the only thing he could think of was the history women seemed to have with apples. He tore himself away from that one though and instead leaned on the bar and wiped his hand across his tired looking face. He then asked simply. ” So how you been Miri?”
