Hannah had finished her meeting with Gauth and McBride. She knew from experience, the best thing to do was to get to work, stay busy. It filled the empty hours until she found her rhythm again. Fayth had offered to do her medical check, but Hannah wanted to see how the department worked and meet some of the other officers instead. She made her way down to the main floor and across to the nee medical suite. She entered and looked around, taking it all in as she waited.

Asimina, AMO

It took a few minutes for someone to notice her. A fleet medical officer stopped and looked at her. “Can I help you?” He asked. By the pips on his uniform, he was an Ensign. He looked maybe thirty, Betazoid, about 5‘5. He offered Hannah a friendly smile.

~ NE Doctor

Hannah smiled and hoped her queasy stomachs didn’t show too much. “Hi. I’m Lt Asimina. I just arrived and need my physical.” Hannah was bubbly and pretty. She didn’t know if people knew she was arriving yet. She hoped her position didn’t make things awkward.

Asimina AMO

The doctor smiled again, “Ah, I think I remember Doctor Fayth mentioning a Lieutenant Asimina,” he commented, beckoning her towards a room. “Have a seat on the biobed, it’ll only take a minute. I’m Doctor Samon Tai.”

~ NE Doctor

Hannah slipped up onto the biobed. “It’s nice to meet you, Dr Tai. How long have you been here? I heard the colony used to be under a biodome.”

“About… three years?” He said, thinking back. “There was a biodome. I think it’s much better without it. The colony is huge, there’s something here for everyone. Does take a little getting used to though.”

“I like to get out, anywhere I should start?” Hannah knew she probably wouldn’t have rime right away, but she would eventually.

“Hmm… Maybe the central square? It’s right outside the main hospital. Good place to start.”

“Oh, you should pick up antinausea meds in my system. I have never gotten space sick, I’m sure it’s nothing, but it is unusual for me.”

Asimina, AMO

Tai nodded. “Thanks for letting me know.” Then he started the scan, being very thorough about it. “No other unusual symptoms…? No recent illnesses? How about injuries?”

~ NE Tai

Hannah shook her head. “No, other than that everything has been fine. I haven’t even had issues with my implants.” Which a glance at her medical record would show a history of minor complications with the implants over the years. Hannah had been sleeping a lot, but she was grieving so that was expected, and she couldn’t talk about it, so no need to mention it.

Hannah

He nodded. The medical fine started there had been numerous issues with the implants in the past. He looked at the scan results again, and then at Hannah. “Can you lean back a moment, Lieutenant?” He asked, and then once she had, he scanned her lower abdomen again.

Hannah laid back, and as he scanned her abdomen figured he was being thorough about the nausea. Maybe she had picked up a virus or something. She kept her hands to her side and just breathed - unconcerned.

He looked over the results and then, unsure whether it was good or bad news, put on a solid poker face to deliver the news. “Lieutenant, you’re pregnant. About twelve weeks. Looks healthy, so far. I’m going to have to write you a referral to the hospital’s maternity ward, alright?”

~ NE Tai

Hannah blinked once. The announcement not sinking in right away. Then he would feel shock, disbelief, panic, grief, and denial. She sat up quickly, and her stomach made her regret it, “What? Maternity? No. No Dr Tai, I am meticulous about my contraceptives.” All the while leaninh around to see his tricorder to see for herself.

Then as the results on the tricorder blinked at her she went numb. Her hands started moving, slowly, Tai could deduce she was using some sort of sign language. After a moment she nodded. “Yes…a referral…can, can I still get cleared for duty or do I need to go there first?” No…no…this could not be happening. Daniel was gone. She could not be pregnant.

Asimina, AMO
