(USS Raptor - Level 5 - Sickbay - SFI/aFO - Lt. Michael Weston and CMO
Commander Quinna Solice - 0610)

Michael had practically run from the turbolift to sickbay. He watched as
Stev had pulled T’Mur back from death. Verin had been watching and pushed
past him when he was done.

He had to chuckle when the doctor called him Cap’n, referencing his time as
the Pirate Captain of the Rhyne. Stev quickly directed him to Quinna’s
biobed. Michael moved over and put a hand on her warm arm. Suddenly she sat
up

“I have patients,”  Quinna said, not looking at anyone.

Michael moved his hand to her shoulder to hold her steady.  “No sweaty,
this time you are the patient.”

Her eyes focused on him and she almost whispered, “Michael.”

“Well hello, good lookin’,” Michael said, pulling her into a hug. “How ya
doing?”

“I am fine, I need to check on everyone,”  Quinna said, looking concerned.

Michael held on to her a little more tightly, “Everyone is already being
taken care of. Stev has it all under control. It’s time to let them take
care of you, for a change.”

He looked over his shoulder and Stev made his way over, “Well, well, well,
the prodigal doctor returns.  How are you feeling, Quinna?”

“I am fine.  I need to get back to work.  T’Mur and Pex both have some head
wounds.  Piripi sustained other injuries with her implants.”  Quinna said.
“I need to check them out.”  Quinna again sat there on the biobed.

Stev chuckled, “Quinna, I have already taken care of Mr. Pex, and have
technicians working on Ensign Piripi.  Believe it or not I know how to be a
doctor even when left to my own devices.  As for T’Mur,” he looked over at
Verin and the Vulcan together, you can check on her once you’ve been
clear3e.”

“Oh Please.  Have you met me?  I am not wounded or need rest.”  Quinna
insisted

Stev sighed and pulled out his medical tricorder.  He ran the node over
Quinna’s head and chest and looked at the readings.  He harrumphed a little
and looked at Weston.  “You got some time?”

Michael shrugged, “I got all the time in the world. Why?”

Stev turned back to Quinna using a fatherly voice, “Alright young lady,
I’ll release you for light duty as long as you are under somebody’s
observation.”  He indicated with his head to Michael.  “He’ll do.”

Michael’s eyes narrowed, “Let me get this straight.  You want me to watch
her?”

“You got it,” Stev replied.

“I think I can handle that,” Weston’s eyes softened.

“Do you agree, Quinna?” Stev asked.

“I have no problem with that,”  Quinna said as she hopped off the biobed.
Quinna moved to the medical desk and picked up a PADD.  “I want to check on
the away team,”  Quinna said to Michael.  Quinna then stopped and turned
around.  She looked at Michael in the eyes, “Are you ok?”

“Me?” he sounded surprised. “I’m great. I wasn’t trapped in an alternate
dimension without food or air for two days.  Why should anything be wrong
with me?  However, you had me a little worried.”

He used his body to usher her into the CMO office and let the door close.
He made sure that the blinds were closed in the observation window before
he pulled Quinna into his arms. He held onto her tightly. Perhaps a little
too tightly. He buried his face into her hair, smelling her scent and
finally relaxing. He pulled back a little and kissed her lips gently.

“I just… missed you. That’s all.”  Finally, he turned and released her.
“Besides, I had a big dinner planned for tonight and was afraid I was going
to have to share it with Penn and Teller instead of you.”

“You would have enjoyed yourself differently then.”  Quinna smiled, “a Big
Dinner? What is the occasion?”

Michael hugged her again, “Do I need an occasion?  You, my darlin’ Quinna
are my occasion.”

“Who says romance is dead?”  Quinna commented.  “I should check on the
others before you make me go and rest,”  Quinna said.  Quinna however could
not seem to want to move from her spot as of this moment.
