Mackenzie stared at Mala and Nani as they gossipped endlessly with Cynthia, his niece. Shaking his head at their non-stop banter, he turned to his mother. "Josh is going to have the time of his life." He said grinning. "Can you imagine how much they're going to talk when they are in the same room?" "Reminds me of your sister and her friends." "Oh, please!" He said rolling his eyes. "These girls have nothing on Julia and her buds. My brain would go numb listening to them chatter on and on." "Oh look!" Nani said, pointing. "Here they come!" "Finally." Nancy Kirk said, feeling slightly dazed at the constant chatter of the girls. "Now we can find out what the news is that Josh has for us." "Big news!" Joshua said as he stepped before the camera. He grinned when he saw his daughter in armor. "Hey! You're playing football?" "Yep! Best quarterback in the girl's league." Mackenzie said with pride. "And I'm her coach." "Don't get them in trouble, Mack" Joshua warned his brother. "What? Now what would make you think I would do something to get these girls in trouble?" "Your favorite player was Conrad Dobler! That's what!" Joshua grinned. "But let's get back on track, shall we?" Turning to his daughter, his grin faded to a smile. "Cyn, I have someone I want you to meet." "Oooo, another long lost cousin?" She said with a giggle. "Even better! Boz Octavian Kirk." Looking up at his mother's shocked face, he continued. "Yes, the doctor called that one wrong. Where's my father?" "Ferenginar. He's signing a deal with DaiMon Trod. Ralph Offenhouse was in heaven negotiating with the Ferengi. The Grand Nagus even made him an honorary Ferengi, they were so impressed with his business accumen." "Smartest business move you two did was hiring Offenhouse." Kirk told his mother. "Yes, but enough about business, let's talk about this little boy here." Nancy said pointing to her newest grandson. "Mother, are you blind?" Mackenzie said with a short laugh. "That boy's huge!" "Sixteen pounds, ten ounces." Peenk said as she heft the baby. "And I think half of it is that hair of his. I've never seen a baby with that much hair when they were born. But then again, I've never seen a baby who was born with a complete set of teeth!" "Where's his Mother?" Cynthis asked. "My mother is recovering from the delivery." Mala said. "She had a very rough time of it." "I imagine!" The tall Starfleet officer said. "That's a pretty big baby to be coming out of a Norm." "Well, now we just have to wait for the twins, then you'll be done for a while, huh Daddy?" Cyn asked. Joshua smiled and glanced over to Peenk. Nancy grinned and turned to Peenk. "Oh, by the Force no! Not me." The blonde said quickly. "My sister and her partner wanted a baby and asked me if I would let him give them one. There are no babys in my future." Joshua just smiled. "Forget it!" Peenk said when she saw him smile. "It is unavoidable." He whispered to her. "It is your destiny." You've been talking to Pehn?" Peenk demanded. "No. Ivory told me." "I'm going to kick my sister's traitorous ass!" She shouted. Looking down at Boz, her anger faded. "Yes, I'm going to have your children. I'm just not happy with it. I've seen what my mother went through with this guy." May all our veterans, past and future, have a great day. And I offer a prayer to those who gave all.
