Timeline: One Month Before Joining Pioneer
Seated upon a chair gazing out towards the planet Aquil, Tatiana contemplated on the events that had taken place on Poseidon Station. She was still on the station, and with the changes that had taken place, she needed to consider where she needed to go next. A signal came to Tatiana, upon her padd, she opened up the message and noticed that there was a code. Her eyes widened and she gave out a small gasp, she'd not seen the code in such a long time. It was from Lucian!
With great haste, Tatiana left her chair and hurried to her quarters where she had been staying. She activated the computer, keyed in a return code which opened up to an image of...
"Lucian!" Tatiana's voice cracked with emotions, her eyes brimming with tears. "I-I wasn't certain if you'd want to contact me as of yet."
Lucien, the spitting image of his younger brother, Stefan gave a bit of a smile. "Surprise, Mom. And boy do you have some surprises coming your way."
Tatiana looked a bit confused. "Uh, can you tell me what that surprise is?"
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I gave you spoilers, now would it." Lucian stating the fact rather firmly. his green eyes having a determined expression. "There will be a runabout waiting for you, and we'll be rendezvousing with the SS Wyvern. Also I have sent a message to Stefan and Camelia to rendezvous there as well."
"Wait, what?! Lucian, please you've got to tell me more!" Tatiana pleaded with him.
"Sorry Mom, can't tell you anymore. Be there or you will be losing out on an important event. I am signing off now. Hopefully you won't want to kill me once you find out what is going on." Lucian closing the communication.
Tatiana hurried to change, then grabbed her go bag, which had her essentials in it. She headed to where the runabout was waiting for her and it headed towards the rendezvous point.
Tatiana was feeling restless, as the runabout made its way to where the Wyvern was at. Tatiana ran her hands through her hair feeling like she had gone a little bit insane. What was Lucian involved in and what was he up to? Tatiana watched from the front view port as the SS Wyvern drew near. Communication had arrived for her to transport to the Wyvern. Which she did, when Tatiana materialized upon the transporter pad of the Wyvern she saw Lucian, Stefan and Camelia waiting for her.
Stepping off the transporter pad, the go bag that Tatiana held, dropped to the deck and she took two steps forward giving out a cry of joy, then was swarmed by her nephews and niece in a group hug.
All speaking at once finally Lucian called out. "Okay, okay let Mom breath, lets go to the mess hall, she's going to need a strong drink for this next part."
Tatiana was baffled by this piece of news. "O-okay, what do you have in mind what is going on?"
Camelia wrapped an arm around Tatiana, "Don't worry, I think you'll like it Mama. You'll like it a lot. we hope."
Lucian led the way, with Stefan linking his arm with Tatiana.
Tatiana's mind was in a whirl as to what was going on. What will she be liking?
In the messhall waiting with anticipation and nervousness, Annabelle was just setting the last part of the family dinner that she had planned. Annie and Marcus had just finished setting the table. Mindy was in the quarters eating her own dinner.
Annabelle didn't want the tortoise shell cat get in the way of the reunion. She could be introduced to Tatiana at a later time.
When the Zamfir triplets and Tatiana stepped inside the messhall, she stopped for a moment, glancing at the set table, and the two kids who were there, then the blonde woman who had a nervous and yet hopeful look in her eyes. The two kids who were there, Tatiana noticed that the boy looked like Lucian and Stafan when they were that age, then her gaze went to the young girl, who looked somewhat like Camelia when a small girl.
"Lucian, um is there something you'd like to tell me." Tatiana fixing her gaze on him.
"Well you see, this is Annabelle and these are our kids." Lucian started to say when the little blonde girl with bright blue eyes cam running up.
"Grandma!" Annie exclaimed, then gave Tatiana an embrace.
Tatiana was touched by the little girl, kneeling down. "Hello Annie, nice to meet you."
"I didn't know I had a grandma until just well a little bit ago. Well I have two grandmas And I have an Aunt, and an Uncle, and I've got my brother back. And... and..." Annie started to sniffle, "Now my family is bigger. Just Auntie Audie isn't here and neither is Buster."
"Aunt Audie? " Tatiana looked over to the others.
'Yes, Audie's been adopted by us." Annabelle answered. When we were living on Poseidon Station now though we have to find another place to stay and well." she looked over towards Lucien. "Maybe resume a life together with Lucian. Just don't know where that will be happening though.
Camelia who had been silent during the meeting of Tatiana and Annie, plus Annabelle. Cleared her throat.
"hey mom." walking over and pulling Tatiana into a heartfelt embrace, sniffling a little bit. "I've missed you a lot."
"I've missed you as well, love. You look well." Tatiana wiping away her own tears.
"I am, I'm settling in my new ship. its been a bit rocky to say the least but I'm managing." Camelia responded.
"Have you started making friends on your ship?" Tatiana raising an eyebrow towards Camelia.
Camelia looked slightly uncomfortable. "Uh not as yet. I've been sort of keeping to myself." giving a chagrined smile and a slight shrug.
"You could transfer to where I will be transferred to, the USS Pioneer." Stefan speaking up at this point.
"Nah, I don't think that the ship could withstand another Zamfir, even if I took on Mom's last name. We do need to lead our separate lives, even if we were womb-mates." Camelia giving a giggle.
Stefan and Lucian let out a groan. "There you go again trying to do puns."
Camelia laughed.
Just then a signal came through, Annabelle went to go check on it, then gave out a squeal, "Oh my gosh, its Max!"
Annie gave out a squeal as well. "Uncle Max! He's coming here?"
Marcus came up to Tatiana and tugged at her hand. "Might I have a hug too, Grandma?"
"Of course you can, Marcus, It is a pleasure to meet you." wrapping her arms around him.
"Son of a gun, what a gathering." Max stepping inside where the others were.
Annie came running over. "Uncle Max! Where have you been!"
He looked towards Annabelle then to the others. "I've been around."
"Can't believe you and I were on the same station and never really met. And you're related by marriage to my sis. Small world right?" looking towards Stefan.
"Yup, definitely." Stefan answered having a bit of a grin.
Max walked up towards Lucian, "Nice to meet you , Brother, and what the heck, wish I had known of you and I don't know if I should punch you , shake your hand or give you a hug."
Annie gave out a cry. "Uncle Max, don't you dare punch Daddy! Or I am going to kick you in the shins." her blue eyes blazing with fury.
Max held out his hands as if to fend off Annie's ire.
"Hold on there pumpkin, I was wanting to tease your daddy." he squatted down to look into her eyes. "What do you want me to do."
"i want you to give Daddy a hug that would be a good thing, as he is your brother now, Right Mommy?" Annie turning towards Annabelle.
"Yes that is right, you now have a brother, Well make that two brothers, Max, and a sister."
Max rose up from his crouched position. "Well Annie says we've got to hug so, shall we?" Annie had him wrapped around her little finger.
The triplets gave out a laugh and came in for a group hug,
Annie gave out a squeal and ran over to join in, Calling out "Mama c'mon!" pulling Marcus and Tatiana into the group hug.
Laughter at this, moisture being wiped away from the eyes, when the family hug was ended.
Max saw Marcus, and said. "Hey Champ, good to see you, and dang how you've grown. How are you doing? "
"I-I am okay I think." Marcus sniffling. "I thought I'd never get to see you, and Mom again or even Annie. I was just a little smaller. Dad found me, he rescued me." giving a hiccup then started bawling.
Max lifted Marcus up in his arms. "Its all good buddy, its all good. You're safe now."
Tatiana saw the signs of a little boy becoming a little bit overwhelmed with all that was happening. "Say Annabelle, shall we get two individuals off for a rest? I'm sure they would like a nap?"
Annabelle nodded, "Yes, I think that would be a splendid idea. C'mon Annie I think Mindy would like some play time."
Annie nodded, "Okay Mama. "She turned to her new found family. "I hope to see you again and stay in touch."
The kids received hugs before Tatiana and Annabelle took them to their room.
The three men and Camelia watched as they left, all showing concern for the young ones.
