Jez felt a surge of pride while looking at the Cryo-Stasis Pod. She had thought about being a mother. When Jez was younger, she would often watch the younger kids of her parents' Archeological Dig teams. While the adults were in the field, Jez would play with, read, and tell the younger kids stories; she even taught them to read. They would play school, but as she grew older, she developed a need for physical outlets: running, swimming, but especially martial arts. She remembered, the ever presence of Mike at the dig sites, setting up portable force field generators, surveillance camera, Jez smiled, as she recalled as Mike seemed so out of place in the 24th Century, in that he would always say, “Here let me help you with that Ma’am,” if a woman was carrying something heavy, or holding doors open for them, which she found funny, because doors in the 24th Century had motion activate sensors, making holding doors open unnecessary.
Yes, Mike was truly unique; he read actual books, books with covers and paper pages, not Data Padd’s. His prowess in the Martial Arts was amazing; he was powerful. She had sparred against him many times; he hit like a photon torpedo; his roundhouse kicks like a tsunami.
“Andrea, I am going to have the zygote implanted, but I want to talk with Dr O'Shea about removing Devyyn’s DNA and replacing it. I don’t want my child growing up with that kind of hate in her genome.” Stated Jez, while she was looking at Mike, imagining her daughter having Mike’s DNA attributes.
“No, Andrea, I will never lose my child, I don’t care if the Federation Supreme Court orders me to hand over custody to Devyyn, I would rather die first, this is my child, she will be raised in love, enlightenment, not hatred and bias, Devyyn is a horrible man, His family is horrible, I would never subject any child to that kind of environment.” Said Jez, her voice firm.

Mike didn’t know of Jez’s pain and difficulties with Devyyn. He knew she had been in a relationship, but had no idea pregnancy was the result. Mike placed a hand on Jez’s shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. “Hey, everything will be alright, Min lille kanin(My little rabbit)” Said Mike, using the nickname he gave her when she was a little kid.
Mike realized he made a mistake calling her his little rabbit. "Looking at Jez: Don’t say it…Don't say it,” instructed Mike. A mischievous smile pulled on Jez’s lips. “Oh, thank you, Ole Brumm, min store, lubne bjørn (Winnie the Pooh, my big chubby bear)” Said Jez, doing her best to suppress a laugh.
“Really, you went there,” said Mike, “ And in front of family.” Referring to Andrea and the zygote in the cry-stasis.
Mike turned to Andrea and said, “ So, do you believe this one, Ole Brumm, min store, lubne bjørn (Winnie the Pooh, my big chubby bear.) the nerve," said Mike. "Do I look like a Child's toy with a Honey addiction?, The nickname makes no sense." Protested Mike.
Mike’s heart broke at hearing how upset Jez was over this custody battle. To take a child from its mother was beyond horrible.
“Jez, you know if, or when, you have the baby, my mom and dad would be more than happy to take care of her? At least until things calm down and you know what you want to do.” Suggested Mike.
Jez was so touched; she had met Mike’s parents a few times. They were kind, sweet people who would give you the shirt off their backs. Not to mention that if they could raise Mike, they could handle anything.
“Let’s see what Commander Talion’s legal team can do. You know, submit their motions and whatnot.” Said Jez.
