s they walked, Talion tried to answer her as best he could, "That is presuming a great deal. First of all, your grandmother is now much older and how she might raise someone at her current age will be different than you or your mother would. Secondly, that's something you're going to need to talk to her about and see if it is something she is willing to do. It takes a great deal of time and energy to raise a child. I've been doing it for a while now and it is a full time job in itself. Don't forget that it is going to take a number of very uncomfortable months before the child is born and there is very little that you're going to be able to do in your career field that will be permitted while on a light duty waiver on a ship. This is going to change your entire career track permanently. You would be sidelined not just while pregnant, but for a number of weeks after, while you recover. Fortunately, medical science has come a long way, so few women die in childbirth anymore, but it does happen. The process forever changes your body in the process. That said, many women are able to return to a fully active lifestyle afterward, but I want you to have no misconceptions about this being a process that will be life changing in many ways. Given your age and the timing of this, I would seriously suggest considering any options that might be available to delay this for the moment. At the very least, you should take time to evaluate your situation and your options, including having some touch conversations with your family. I might make it look easy, but I had lots of help and I still have help, their just...well...not real people while on the ship, that's all."
When they entered Sickbay, Talion let her speak first. When the technician appeared confused, Alex spoke up, "A simple scan will reveal that she'll require an exam by a doctor and a standard prenatal briefing with report to her chain of command, depending on what the young lady decides. I'm just here in support of a friend, as I'm sure you can understand."
This caused the technician to raise an eyebrow, give a nod and directed Ens Mala over to a bio-bed.
Talion then looked around with a eye for the technical aspects of the new Sickbay. He seemed to approve of all that he was seeing. He commented, "I was never big on the medical side of my research. It was necessary, as it involved neural implants to interface with the signals from the brain to control various functions, but I put most of my focus on the details of the hardware itself. Some of my prosthetics were revolutionary in how the user was able to feel as if they were the real thing. When a patient is able to forget that they are using a device instead of their original limb, then you're able to seriously give back some quality of life they might not have otherwise been able to have. It's hard to imagine now that it was that research that really got things going. Synthetics have come a long way since then."
