Posted by Commander Tabris Asam (Chief of Engineering and Operations) in Medical Checkups and all!
Tabris walked into the medical facility on OED V with his four adopted children in tow. Neltus, the El-Aurian boy, looked curiously at the surroundings, while Vedi and Mecona, the Cardassian siblings, whispered to each other excitedly. Julin, the Bajoran boy, gripped Tabris’ hand tightly, a little nervous about the upcoming medical check.

Tabris smiled reassuringly at his children as he adjusted his vintage glasses. “Don’t worry, kids. This is just a routine check-up. You all remember Auntie Sharah right? I hear she’s the head doctor!”

Vedi, the more outspoken of the Cardassian siblings, piped up, “Anutie Sharah is here? No way!!!!!”

Tabris nodded, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. “That’s right, kiddo last I heard Auntie Sharah was the chief medical officer here at the colony. I’m sure she’d be happy to take a pause on her busy schedule to clear you four for duty!” Tabris said with a chuckle.

Sharah was running a scan on a patient when a strong ping flashed across her mind. She couldn’t take the time just then to listen. It was probably Yavia, but it didn’t feel like her. Maybe someone needed her for a consult. They would call her when they were ready.

As they entered the lobby he tapped his combadge and said, =/\=This is Commander Asam to Lt. Commander Fayth. Please come in=/\=

Sharah paused as she exited the exam area. Commander Asam? Eldorin? No…no that was Tabris’ voice! Her presence shot across the hospital and Tabris and Neltus would feel the familiar contact of the Betazoid woman and the pure joy she felt.

Simultaneously she reached for someone else, Yavia, to share her surprise and joy and astonishment. She didn’t bother to answer Tabris. Instead she left the wing she was on and hurried to the lobby of the hospital.

After the line closed he bent down slightly and said with a smile, “Alright, kids, let’s get our check-ups done, and then we can go out for some ice cream to celebrate,” Tabris suggested, hoping to ease any lingering nerves.

Julin’s face lit up at the mention of ice cream. “Really, Dad? Can I get the Risan chocolate swirl?”

Tabris chuckled and ruffled Julin’s hair. “Of course, buddy. We’ll all pick our favorite flavors.”

The children’s excitement grew as they chatted about their ice cream choices while waiting for their turn with Dr. Sharah. Tabris couldn’t help but feel grateful for the sense of community and support they had found on OED V, and he knew that this was just the beginning of many more memorable moments with his family.

– Tabris –

Sharah appeared in a swirl of purple and blue and black - her blue and black Star Fleet uniform with the purple Sacred Heart Hospital lab coat. She didn’t pause until she almost collided with Tabris as she wrapped him in a huge warm hug. “Tabris!”

Her exuberant welcome drew attention. The medical staff were aware of Dr Fayth’s quirkiness if not the cause of it. She was not one to be overly expressive in her emotions and she didn’t hug people.

She looked at the four children and laughed out a smile. Neltus and Vedi had grown, not much but a little, but they looked good, healthy and filled out some. A hint of the teenagers they would become peeking through.Mecona had lost some of her baby softness, her hair was longer and braided, and she knew Tabris had done it. And Julin, her cuddle buddy was as hyper and excited as ever. She knelt in front of them and dragged them all into one giant tight hug. “When did you get here? How?” She looked up at Tabris, “Why are you here?”

Sharah

Tabris was pleasantly surprised by Sharah’s exuberant appearance and the warm hug she wrapped him in. He returned the embrace, a wide smile spreading across his face as he greeted her, “Sharah, it’s so good to see you again!”

As Sharah knelt down to hug all four children, Tabris watched the happy reunion with a sense of gratitude and joy. He knew how much his family meant to Sharah and was glad they could reconnect here on OED V.

When she asked about their arrival and the reason for their presence, Tabris answered, “I’ve been assigned to the USS Centurion as their Chief Engineer and at OED V as the Operations Officer. We arrived just a short while ago and wanted to come for our check-ups and, of course, to see you, our dear friend.”

His eyes twinkled with excitement as he continued, “We’re looking forward to being a part of this community and working together to make OED V an even better place for everyone. I think this will be my last assignment. I really want to settle down here with the kids and Geoff.”

The children’s faces lit up with excitement when they saw their Auntie Sharah. They all began talking at once, trying to share their stories and experiences with her as quickly as possible.

Neltus grinned, waving his hands animatedly, “Auntie Sharah! You won’t believe the cool stuff we’ve been learning in school! I’m so good at astrophysics now!”

Vedi chimed in, nearly shouting over his brother, “And Auntie, I’ve been taking holodeck martial arts lessons! I even won my first competition last month!”

Mecona, not to be outdone, added with pride, “I’ve been learning how to play the Vulcan harp, Auntie! I can’t wait to play you a song!” Mecona would be the most surprising of all, really coming out of her shell from the last time Sharah would have seen her.

Julin, bouncing around with a stuffed animal in one hand and a toy spaceship in the other, excitedly said, “Auntie! I can’t wait to go exploring on the colony! I haven’t made friends here yet, but I know I’ll meet some cool kids when we explore the parks and hidden places!”

The cacophony of voices filled the room as the children eagerly vied for Sharah’s attention, trying to share all their recent experiences and achievements. Amidst the chaos, Tabris couldn’t help but smile at the heartwarming scene, feeling a deep sense of joy seeing the bond between Sharah and his kids.
