Jez didn’t know what to think, she had no idea on how to raise a child, she was so young barely out of her childhood herself. When Commander Talion said that she was safe, she had to admit that here in Talions quarter she truly felt safe, the love between Commander Talion, Cindy, Reyna and the loveable Thor made her feel relaxed.
Commander Talion seemed to go into what Jez would describe as fatherly mode, "If you're worried about Star Fleet, don't. They're going to take care of you, one way or another. The first thing that is going to happen is a light duty, because no matter what needs to happen next, you're going to need a medical profile. You have several options, but you will need to confirm with the CMO about what they themselves are willing to do and what you might need to have a specialist for."
Jez wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, She wasn’t sure how comfortable she was Star Fleet being so entrenched in her personal affairs, but on a more fundamental level it was reassuring; knowing that someone had her back,
Commander Talion spelled out the possible options available to Jez, "First option being carry the baby to term, being a single parent. Jez wasn’t sure if that would be the best option, being a single mom raising a child on a star ship, maybe if she was on a Star Base or a planet.Add to it that Renkarn would demand visitation rights and Jez didn’t want that and knowing the laws of the Federation and especially the laws of Betazed Renkarn had parental rights which meant that he would be entrenched in her life for the foreseeable future.
The Second option,an abortion, to terminate the baby. But Jez was conflicted as she considered all life sacred and to kill an unborn baby was just unthinkable, but she didn’t want to necessarily raise a child that could grow up to be a cruel sadistic clod like Renkarn.
The third option would be to put the baby up for adoption, but how could she carry a baby and then put it up for adoption, Betazoids develop very strong bonds with their children while they are in the womb, but there was still the possibility that the child could be a sadistic bum like Renkarn
The fourth option, freezing the fetus or putting it is a long term stasis with the possibility of a surrogate carrying the baby or a, synthetic option Jez wasn’t knee on the idea of a computer raising a baby, it was like abandoning the baby on a doorstep like some wicked step mother in a fairytale the only thing missing was the wicked witch.
Thor came over and laid his big head in her lap. He gave a groan and looked at her with overgrown puppy eyes. Causing Jez to smile. She likes him very much.
Reyna said to her, "Thor likes you."
Jez smiled and said. “Oh, I like him as well. He is adorable. He reminds me of your father. ” Said Jez, with a playful smile on her face.
Jez let the option process in her brain for a few minutes. She had no idea what the best options were for her. Jez’s emotions were all over the place, She felt like an idiot that this whole thing ever happened, she felt miserable at the idea of aborting the baby, but she felt even more horrible at the idea of raising a child without a husband , or even worse giving the baby away to a total stranger. She knew that she couldn’t give the baby to her parents or they would ignore the baby, they would raise the baby the way they raised her, they would ignore the baby and focus on their careers.
As Jez sat there she watched Reyna, here was what appeared to be a well adjusted child, being raised by a single dad and what she could only describe as a very unique collection of Nannies; that only added to her confusion she had no practical experience raising children, she didn’t even have a pet as a child to care for. Maybe if she had she might understand how to care for something that required care.
Suddenly another option occurred to her, she could have the baby, she could have the baby and leave it with her Grandmother, that way the baby would be safe living on a planet, being raised by a comfortable environment with an amazing woman. They do say that one is a product of one’s environment and her Grandmother was wonderful, cultured, caring and loving.
Jez’s emotions were churning going from sadness to regret to anger, to uncertainty. It’s not like Star Fleet had classes, Unwed Mothers 101, or Advanced Child Rearing
“Well I think the first thing would be to confirm Cindy’s diagnosis, then depending on what Doctor Lim finds, I would then inform Commander Kurasa. “ Said Jez. “ Commander Talion, I want to thank you for all your assistance, friendship and kindness." Added Jez. Jez whipped away a few stray tears.
Jez got up, she took a deep breath, Jez and Commander Talion had discussed a great deal of options, but it was getting late.
“Commander, it is getting late. I want to go to my quarters, get some sleep, I need to think about what I’m going to do. Tomorrow morning I will go see Doctor Lim and confirm Cindy’s diagnosis. “ Said Jez. She quickly gave Commander Talion a quick peck on his cheek and a gentle hug to show her gratitude for all that he has done.
