“You said you needed that. We provided.” Sharah laughed and moved off the bed and reached into the wardrobe and then handed them each a bottle of water. They weren’t cold, but they would do. “Wait…just wait here. You gave me an idea.” She hurried out of the room, sans clothes and they could hear her going up the stairs and in the kitchen.

Sharah

Charles grinned. “I hate ta see her leave… but I loooove to watch her go.”

Yavia laughed, “Yes we did and it was thoroughly satisfying.” She watched her go, curls and well other parts bouncing. “She’s gorgeous. But what is with the two of you runningbout of this room with no clothes?” Yavia laughed and opened her water and rank a good portion of it. “She’s really excited. What do you think she’s done?”

Yavia

TK grinned and kissed her. “I told ya when you moved in, the house is fully clothing-optional. Just ‘cause you haven’t fully embraced that concept is on you, love.” and he chuckled. “As to what that one’s cooked up? No idea.”

Tenkiller

The loves of Sharah’s life had about 15 minutes of uninterrupted time alone before Sharah called them. “Come in here.” Here being her room.

She was sitting on a blanket that she had spread on the floor. She was sitting turned toward the painting Charles had put in the room, but was watching the door. There was a tray on the blanket with sandwiches, cut veggies and fruit, drinks and other snack/picnic like items. When they entered she pushed a button to close the door behind them. She held her hands out to them, “Come here.”

Facing the painting, Charles would recognize quickly, every plant in the room was from Earth and matched those he had placed into the painting or would grow in the same areas. The lights were off, but the room had the same dappled sunlight as the painting. Sharah had added mirrors to the solar tubes to catch the light and bring it in all day. Potted trees, vines uo the four poster bed, planters were mounted in the walls, flowers trailing down, shrubs, wild flowers. The wall by the door held the painting he had given her from the art gallery and placed in wall planters around it was a variety of succulents, moss, and air plants. The entire room was now a living extension of his painting.

Sharah

Yavia grabbed Sharah’s hand and squeezed it as she sat. She stared about the room. She didn’t recognize any of the plants and wouldn’t know what world they came from, except for one or two, but it was stunning. It was…Sharah. The way she had coaxed them to grow, even mounting a trellis on the ceiling provided a leafy canopy. It invoked for her stronge feelings of that very first day in the park. Finding Sharah and bringing her home where she belonged, with them. She remembered leaving Sharah in the room and telling TK she looked like a frest fairy. Sharah really was.

She looked up at Charles where he was standing, feeling his response to one of the plants. She got up and walked over to him so she could see at what he was looking.

Yavia

Charles stood, unblinking and mouth open, as his artist’s eyes followed the edges of the painting out and around the room. He turned slowly, taking it all in, until his eyes fell on pot with a small shrub with dark, almost black leaves with small white flowers on it. He stopped and stared at it for a moment and then said, very softly, “This isn’t in the picture. Why did you choose it?” A wave of nostalgia, homesickness, and memory of a deep and abiding love for family long gone spilled out him… but it wasn’t negative. It was as if the plant evoked feelings that he enjoyed experiencing… even if some of it was loss.

Tenkiller

Sharah stood and walked over to him, looking at it. “I was looking for plants that grew in similar areas as the others.” Here she paused, “I’m not sure you’ll believe me.” She stared at it for a long moment, “I…uh…the woman…I sketched her, from the circle…your grandma. She…um…told me I needed it. That it was important for you.”

Sharah

Charles smiled and said “I believe you, Sharah. This is White Snakeroot… my Granny’s favorite.” and he looked at her and smiled. “She had a big bunch if it growing out back behind the wood shed.” He reached out and held a small bunch of it in his hand, and he grinned. “Always reminds me of home.”

Tenkiller

“Then I’m glad I got it.” Sharah slipped her arms around him and stretched up just a little and kissed his cheek. She reached out and cupped his hand where he held some of it. “Let’s put her upstairs with Hope then. That way she doesn’t miss anything.”

Sharah

Yavia smiled, “I like that. A piece of your first home here in our home. Another circle.” She kissed him too and then sat on the blanket and started putting food on plates and setting them out.

Yavia

Charles took a seat and helped plate food and pour drinks. When the women were settled he said “I love you both so much.” and kissed one and then the other. “And I have some news for you. Sharah, I know you were already going, but V… you are going to the Vren welcoming gala, too.” He looked at her and then at Sharah and grinned. “Had to send in how we are gonna be introduced. Ours is ‘Doctor Sharah Fayth, Chief Medical Officer for Star Fleet, Nurse Yavia Crockett of Sacred Heart Hospital… and their partner Major General Charles Tenkiller of the Colonial Customs and Defense Agency.’ I figure that should sufficiently explode the nurses minds when they see it announced on the vids.” and he laughed.

Tenkiller

The two women looked at each other and laughed. Yavia looked at him, “You know for all your talk of it’s no one’s business you sure do make it oublic. I think you like makung sure people know.” She kissed him.

Sharah shook her head, “I told you, Yavia not to volunteer to work that night. Now I have to redo the schedule.” Then she grinned like she knew something. “That’s okay I bet Ilena would be more than happy to take your place.”

Yavia shrugged, “Well, you need the best working just incase. And we all know I am the best.”

Sharah leaned across and kissed her. “You are. And we know it. But I’m glad you are going. You will be the envy of everyone with two uniformed officers on your arms.” Sharah giggled.

Yavia faked a swoon. “Whatever will I do?”

Yavia

“Enjoy it and trade barbs with Jal’na all night?”

Sharah
