{ON}

Walking into Sickbay alongside Thoros, T’Mia was grateful that Kristian would be bound by Doctor, patient confidentiality as she slowly and tenderly sat on a biobed waiting for Kristian to appear.

“I’m sorry that I ...” She motioned to the bite wound Thoros had. “I don’t know what got into me ...” she blushed.

" Plak taw a Vulcan mating ritual. Your endorphin's were activated during the battle. My Klingon blood was too much for you I guess," Thoros joked " It is not uncommon for two Klingon mates to make love after a battle."

"The Vulcan mating ritual ..." T'Mia looked perplexed. "I maybe half Vulcan but I do still experience Pon'farr though the time for mine isn't yet."

" You are probably right . I am irresistible, we don't have to label it." Thoros said licking his lips.

Kristian walked in and took one look at Thoros and T'Mia and the injuries and she knew what had happened. T'Mia was dating the marine exec and Thoros had expressed interest in her and yet Thoros and T'Mia had been intimate. Not letting her disappointment show Kristian couldn't help but wonder How Greg would react when he found this out. Grinning "I don't need to ask you two what happened. I know Klingon mating rituals end up with injuries and by the bite marks it's clear. So who wants to go first?" Kristian asked

T’Mia nodded. “I will. I have something I need to do.” She offered Kristian a guilty look. “This wasn’t meant to happen, it was just a sparring session.”

Picking up the necessary equipment Kristian set to work mending the bruises, bite marks and the other injuries that had happened during their love making. When she finished Kristian scanned her and nodded "Your good to go, but I have questions for you. First one is what is Greg going to do when he finds out, what are you two going to do should you wind up pregnant and why did you give me a guilty look?"

“Why did I give you a guilty look?” T’Mia sighed. “I’m involved with Greg and here I am making love with another man! As for Greg I intend to be honest and tell him. Where pregnancy is concerned my birth control is up-to-date so that’s not a worry.”

"Birth control is not fool proof. I have a kid brother, my mum was on birth control as she was deployed at the time and came up pregnant so it does and could happen," Kristian commented "What will you do if Greg dumps you over this?"

Thoros listened to the two women bantering and reflected back to the lesson with the mek'leths. It was fortunate that neither ladies had one now.

"That's a matter between Greg and myself." T'Mia stood ready to leave but not before waiting for Thoros to be treated.

"It is," Kristian agreed turning to Thoros "How is your back feeling? Are there any injuries from your love making that I need to take care of?"

" Love making? I have no interest in the Counselor Doctor. As for my back your skills are very good . I am now more flexible and unimpaired. If you desire a bat'leth class I would welcome the challenge." Thoros replied. " Am I free to go?"

Kristian nodded "Your free to go,"

Thoros stood up and looked to T'Mia and smiled pausing to speak to Kristian but then walked out of the room without saying a word.

T’Mia looked towards Kristian. “Forgive me doctor but is there something I missed? You seem ... upset.”

Kristian put the equipment away before responding "Not upset, more like disappointed and hurt. Thoros made it clear he had feelings for me and wanted to pursue things, imagine my shock and hurt when the two of you came in after a lovemaking in the holo-deck between the two of you. It's been a very long time since any man has shown interest in me since my boyfriend was killed."

T’Mia nodded. “I’m sorry! I never intended for this to happen, it just ... did. I’d understand it if my Pon’farr cycle was due but it’s not time yet. I have no intentions towards Thoros, none at all.”

"It doesn't matter, what could have been between him and I cannot and will not happen. I won't be able to trust him. That's why I asked you what you'd do if Greg dumped you over this," Kristian said "There is no way to tell that this won't happen again."

“Trust me, it won’t happen again. I was ... unprepared, I will be wary of sparring with Thoros in the future.” T’Mia paused. “As for Greg, I am going to tell him the truth and hope that he’ll find it in his heart to forgive me.”

"I hope he will, but let me ask you this. If it was him who cheated on you with say me, would you be able to forgive him?" Kristian asked "And I ended up pregnant, as I said birth control is not fool proof. My kid Brother Raffie is an example of that. Mum was deployed, met up with dad for a three day pass still on birth control and my kid brother was born ten months later."

"If that happens then I'll have to face up to it but how many part Vulcan Klingons do you know?" she offered a brief smile. "I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't trust me, I'll just have to earn that trust back again."

"I've served with a few over the years," Kristian said "One of my instructors at the academy was Vulcan, Klingon. She was a tough instructor and one of the best I knew. I believe the commodore may know her. The commodore does keep her teaching license up."

T'Mia's heart sank a little. "Then I just have to hope that my birth control is robust enough to handle this." she sighed offering a brief smile before turning to leave. "Thank you for your help Doctor."

Waiting on T'Mia to leave Thoros returned to sickbay to speak to Kristian.

" I am in need of your attention Doctor. "

"Your welcome T'Mia, I wish you luck and hope he is understanding," Kristian said turning to Thoros "Are you okay?"
" I am not sure. When I came aboard you became the first person I really met. You even saved my life. I do not generally allow petty feelings to bother me but I think you are mad at me. Am I wrong?" Thoros asked the Doctor.

"No I'm not mad just disappointed. Your the first man who has shown an interest in me in a long time. Then you and T'Mia come in here after a love making in the holo deck," Kristian commented.

" There was no love making It was all part of the program. She never would have with stood a real session with me. " Thoros replied .

"What about the bite marks?" Kristian asked "I did over hear her mention Plak and Pon'farr which I know is part of the Vulcan mating ritual and just before I came into the room I heard you say it's not uncommon for two Klingon mates to make love after a battle. Or did I hear wrong?" Kristian asked.

" You heard right. Plak tow is a state of mind for Vulcans. Not Pon 'Farr. We did bite but no real intercourse was done. I am irresistible but that only fueled the mood. She does not need to know that Doctor. I told her not to mention the sex but she did not listen." Thoros explained.

"I'm aware of this," Kristian commented "As for you asking her not to mention the sex and not listening, she is seeing the Marine XO and she should confess to him what happened. It's only right."

" Right under whose judgement ? Yours? Star Fleet preaches non interference but there is always that judgemental factor. Grown ass people have to make grown ass decisions Kristian . " Thoros leaned in closer to Kristian his own phermones raging as their conversation boiled " Doctor I should warn you this conversation is starting to make me be turned on."

"Her judgement, I only suggested it," Kristian replied "Should I be worried?"

" We never did get to have that Waltz. Perhaps another time?" Thoros answered.

"Another time, the ship does have holo-decks," Kristian replied

Thoros smiled and again reexited sicbay. It had been a very busy two days for the ships new operations officer. He had served on two other ships and each had their own dramas but the Amandora clearly was going to be the most dramatic of them all.
