Captain's Thoughts

Mission: The Captains Child
Location: Captain's Quarters

Akeno pulled on her uniform, it fitted a little snugly around her belly. After giving birth she had gained a little bit of baby fat from when Junior had occupied her womb. Her belly button was still sticking out a bit too, but the medical staff had assured her that it would all go back to normal in a couple of weeks.

"I never thought that I'd appreciate a flat tummy as much as I do now" she said to herself as she looked herself over in the mirror. She was about to head back onto duty after spending two days I sickbay. Luckily the crew had managed to regain control of the ship and they were now back en route to Federation Space.

She sighed and decided to update her log, no doubt Starfleet will be wanting to know what had happened with the ship and crew.

" Captains personal log. I am returning to duty today. Spending two days in sickbay was hard, but necessary. The Wayfarer is now back under our control and heading back to Federation Space.

I can't help but wonder what happened to Junior, the entity that invaded my body. The baby the entity created was a perfect clone of myself, however unfortunately upon arrival into this world 'she' only lived a few minutes. Somehow Juniors consciousness couldn't inhabit a Human body and we don't know what happened to it.

The whole experience has been strange. I never imagined that being pregnant could feel this way. Granted the entity did control my actions and commandeer my ship, but I think there was more to it than that. Junior, as the entity named itself had been trapped in that Nebula for thousands of years. Exiled by their own kind as a punishment, I believe that the anger it felt was due to it feeling trapped, lonely and unloved.

I know how it feels to be alone. My parents perished on the USS Pegasus and my only living relatives on the attack on San Francisco during the Dominion War. I can't help but wonder if Junior had survived if she would have been able to become a daughter to me. This may seem strange but I did feel an attachment to Junior after birthing her, maybe it's the paternal side of me, or maybe it's because I shared her pain? I don't know, but carrying her inside me, even for only a few days has shown me how precious life is and how delicate we really are.

I only hope that now wherever Junior is, the feeling of loneliness is gone. Physically I am doing ok, I don't think Junior ever intended to really hurt me. However this experience will last a long time in my memory. This is not how I wanted my first mission as Captain to go, I feel embarrassed as when Junior had control of me, the dignity wasn't exactly there.

I can't believe that I was forced by Junior to do what I did. Walking out onto the bridge with my huge belly exposed all to see and then threatening my crew. It's shameful and I'm worried that some of the crew won't see me in the same light. Hopefully they'll understand that it may have been my body, but it wasn't me they were seeing.

I just hope our next mission goes more smoothly. We're due a stop at Starbase eighty three, hopefully Starfleet will send us some replacement crew and supplies before we head out again. Let's see what happens. End log.

With that she checked her hair was straight and tied up nicely in the mirror before leaving her quarters. Now she could get back to commanding her ship.
