Personal Log – That’s the big news?

 

Desdemona sat in her quarters. “Computer please open a channel to the Levy residence on Earth.” The computer took a few seconds to work and then reported, “Channel open”. A face appeared on the screen. It was Mona’s mother Katharine. She looked the same as always, blue tunic, hair haphazardly pulled up into a bun and dirt on her face. Mona laughed. “Hello mother. I see you have been working in the greenhouse.” “Yes dear, you should see my monkey puzzle tree, it’s beautiful. When will you be able to come home?” A small smile crossed Mona’s face. “Not for some time I am afraid. Is dad around, I have some great news.” Katharine’s eyes widened. “You met someone? Your getting married…No your pregnant, when are you due? Is it…” Mona shook her head. “No mother just get dad. I want to tell you both.” Katharine just smiled and nodded. “He’ll be her in a sec” she heard some noise in the background and then her father appeared on the screen. Mona smiled “hey dad” Garrett Levy looked a bit confused as he answered, “hi doll, nice to hear from you. Your mom said something about you getting married or something.” Katharine looked at her husband as Mona rolled her eyes. “No dad, mother is just…” she paused noticing the two were still looking at each other. “Hey…hey” her parents both looked back to the screen at thee same time. “Could we talk out loud please, it gets really annoying when you do that. Anyway my big news is I just was promoted to CMO on the Agincourt” There was a pause as her parents looked at each other then back to the screen. Then together they both started talking enthusiastically “that’s great, wonderful. Such and honor” Mona shook her head slightly “you have no idea what that means do you” Both of them shook their heads no. “it means I am going to be the head of the medical department, it’s a really big honor” Once again her parents looked at each other then back to her Katharine was the first to say something. “I am so proud of you…so there’s no other news” Mona replied dryly “Nope, no other news. That was it” Katharine gave an awkward smile as Garrett put him arm around her and said, “ That’s great doll, we’ll tell the boys. But you should tell Min on your own.” Mona nodded “I’ll do that. Well I have to go. Love you both. Bye” She turned off the computer and sat down on a nearby chair. “Well, that could have gone better” she thought.
