Jez followed the senior officers into the Captain’s inner sanctum; she could feel her pulse starting to race. "Help yourself from the replicator if you want anything." Said Brooks.
Jez made her way over to the replicator, “ Ice water with a twist of lemon and a touch of cinnamon .” Said Jez.
Jez took her water and sat down before the Captain's desk. Her nerves were firing, her stomach was starting to knot; this was an important decision
"So, before we get to the debrief of what happened on the surface, what is you matter that you want to talk to us about, Lieutenant?" he asked.
Just say it, Jez, the worst that they can say is no.
“ Well, sir, Commander Velaul knows of my legal issue, but to bring you up to speed, the last couple of years I was involved in a relationship with Devyn Ukinix, a member of the Ninth House of Betazed. The Ninth House is known as the House of Wealth. Things were going well, but he changed; he began spouting Telepathic purity, how aliens were polluting Betazoid blood. He then became abusive. One night, while we were on a Holiday, he beat me and called me a filthy mongrel. The authorities on Bressa Prime helped me out; they took a report, but he used his family's wealth and influence, and the authorities on Bressa Prime did nothing. No arrests, no fines, nothing.” Said Jez, her voice sounding distant,
Jez took a sip of her water and then continued, “ As you know, I am with child. Ukinix found out that I’m pregnant, he wants custody of the baby, as he claims that I’m unfit to raise a child of the Ninth House.” Said Jez, her voice filled with a mixture of regret and frustration.
“Commander Talion is helping me with the custody battle, but it has forced me to make some very difficult choices. As you know, a Star Fleet Officer’s career can be unpredictable at best, especially a Star Fleet Security Officer. I was hoping that you and Commander Velaul would consider being godparents to my baby, I can’t leave my baby with my family, it just wouldn't be practical, my parents are Archeologists, traveling from place to place, ideally not the best situation for a child and my grandparent, well lets just say that the rest of my family would be unable to give a child the attention and care that it would need. Ukinix’s family, well, they are Telepathic supremacists, and I wouldn’t allow my child to be raised by them,” Said Jez.
Jez knew she had just dropped a bomb shell in the laps of her commanding officers; she knew her family would face backlash from the Ninth House, they were wealthy and powerful, and if her baby was under the care and protection of High ranking Star Fleet Officers, her baby would be safe if anything happened to her. Jez had peace of mind knowing that her roommate and friend, K”Vada offered to be Gin’tak to her baby. Jez wasn’t sure if a Half Klingon, Half Vulcan godmother would be a bad thing, but definitely offer a formidable protector.
“ Sirs, please feel free to decline, but it would mean a great deal to me if you would at least consider it.” Declared Jez, her tone hopeful.
