Yova and Ellie spent all their waking and unawakened first day loving and falling back in love with Scotlands highlands and each other.

Walking back down the road of a nearby hollar Yova turned to Ellie. "I am going to butcher this what say we go and find the parson?" Yova attempted to propose.

Ellie stopped in her tracks and looked at Yova wide eyed. “Did I hear you correctly? Did you just....did you...just ask me to marry you!?”

" We are on the same ship...you have made me a descent person....if you love me as much as I love you then baby we’re really in love. " he bowed to one knee. "Will you be my wife? My ahkayah?"

Ellie stood looking at Yova in sheer surprise before smiling the biggest smile yet. “I...Yes, YES!!” She bent down and hugged Yova before kissing him. “Let’s do it!”

Yova picked Ellie up and spinned her around with a great smile and laugh.

" What do we have to do to do this? On Bajor one of the Ranjen perform weddings." Yova replied.

“Fortunately we’re in Scotland, there’s a place we can go called Gretna Green. It’s the wedding capital of Scotland for those wanting a get away wedding.” She grinned. “All we need to do is jump on the shuttle and go!”

" Well what are we waiting for ?" Yova replied.

Having stopped off long enough to get herself a suitable dress and shoes, as well as wedding rings Ellie stood outside a wedding chapel still in shock at the fact that she was getting married. She smiled as she looked at Yova. “You look so handsome!”

" I know I do but you are so beautiful ahkayah. Where is this minister?" Yova replied. His suit was nicer than even a Starfleet dress blue.

“Right through there” Ellie grinned as she pointed to a wedding chapel not far from them.

A beep on the communicator sounded in Yova's pocket giving him a dreaded lump in his throat.

The caller id was Starfleet which meant it was official.
" Yova here." he greeted. " I see I'll get back there as soon as possible."

He then turned around and looked directly at Ellie in that beautiful highland dress. " The ship was attacked and has sustained some damage. I've been recalled as I am Acting Chief." he told her.

Ellie’s smile faded away replaced by a solemn nod. “Well then I guess you’d best get going.” She suddenly didn't feel very happy.

" Nooo nooo nooo.... let's get this done please. I dont have to get back until tomorrow morning. Please Ellie I promise we can come back here after I clean up the damages." Yova begged.

“I thought...” Ellie’s smile practically shone. “Let’s go...” she grabbed his hand and lead him to the wedding venue.

As they bagpipes played the parson pronounced them wedded in the Church. Yova then rushed his beautiful bride back to their house and prepared for the next chapter that would be their life.

Ellie was the happiest woman on Earth! In-fact the whole universe, if that was possible! “Silly question...” Ellie looked at her new husband. “What surname do I use now we’re married? I don’t know how Bajoran customs work.”

" If we were on Bajor we would use mine. Can we use yours? " Yova asked back.

Ellie looked surprised. “Of course, if that’s what you want. What about your family name? Don’t you want to keep it?”

" This is a new life for me. I want to take your name my love. Odac Yova Kees will be sufficient."

Ellie smiled the biggest smile yet. “I love it!!” She cuddled up giving him a passionate kiss. “So how soon do you, or rather we, have to go back to the ship?”

" I need to as soon as possible. But I will be back I want to know more about my new homeland and you my beloved." Yova replied.

“Then I will be here waiting for you my love” Ellie smiled as she leaned closer and kissed Yova lovingly. “We have the rest of our lives together from now on.”

Yova hated leaving as this was an awesome life were it not for that job thingy and all .

Ellie smiled as she lay on the bed teasingly naked. “I’ll be right here waiting for you when you return. Let me know when you’re on the way back to me okay?”

" You are making this incredibly hard to leave." Yova replied.

“I know, I’m sorry” Ellie smiled pulling the covers around her. “If you need me for anything just call, I’ll come right up. The plus point of transporters, two second journeys!”

" I'm taking a shuttle."

“Well you know what I meant!” Ellie grinned. “I know it would be a two shunt transport to get to the ship from here without taking a shuttle. Longer if I did the shuttle trip as well. Either way I want you back to celebrate our honeymoon as soon as you can.”
