Daise tr’Jeth Dabi was with Captain Chirakis. He considered that there are only two women on the station that could take him from a 10-point irate to a calm, cool and collected Rihan, one of them was standing there. The other, he had just remembered, was somewhere on the station - much in need of a deserved apology for the way that he got pretty nasty. Torate finished with Kirel, “Then I will get back to securing the station, Captain, unless there is anything else?”

 

The Captain was finished with him and he with her. It was the other calming female on the station that he had to go make nice with. He contemplated his next move while admiring the way Kirel was supporting his position during this serious time. The Captain was being firm, ordering that ‘that those who do not cooperate with security will be arrested’, which was satisfactory for Torate, though if they had been on ch’Rihan, the uncooperatives would have been severely and swiftly met a disruptor’s sting.

 

Though he had not finished deliberating how to correct his error with wife number one, the call was initiated by her first thru the COM. ”Torate, I'm in Security. I finished scanning to identify those in custody. I would like to treat them now.”

 

He opened his end of the COM while he stepped off the turbolift, took long strides towards her, and responded, “Can we discuss this in my office?”

 

Before he reached her side, she responded, “Of course I'll be waiting on your arrival.”

 

Torate knew he did not have the time for a full-out apology, so he had to cover things for the time being, because Feretti’s science guys were getting their equipment ready and were going to head up to wherever the Security teams were, so this had to be quick.

 

Stealth-like, he came up behind Mimi, lifted her up and carried her into his office, secured the door behind him, started with a kiss of an apology.

 

. . .

 

Torate had been ordering Mimi around most of this shift, demanding that she send medical staff here and there. He was under a lot of pressure and certainly did not take into consideration that her department was also under the gun.

 

Mimi had been running around sickbay for the good part of the day, treating both friend and foe. Her mind was accelerating more than she had liked, but that comes with being in charge of medical. On top of that, she was being told to send personnel to help security with identifying those who were friendlies and who were renegades, particularly those in the holding cells and down in the temporary containment cells set up on a couple cargo bays.

 

The amount of work, topped with the amount of stress was certainly a situation that Starfleet and the Romulan Star Empire had trained both of them to be ready for, however, when it hits two married folks, the strain on the situation was certainly not something they could have prepared for.

 

. . .

 

His lips finally released from hers, though he continued to hold her tight. “My wife, I have na had Au in my arms for weeks.” He looked down into her blue eyes, his jaw softened slightly, and his lips turned up to form a rarely seen smile. “And such a beauty to be without for so long.” He meant every word, but his purpose was to apologize, though the specific apology words were just not coming out. All he could do was oogle at her while he held her in his office. He was putty in her presence.

 

“I’ve missed you. I think the stress of this whole situation has been getting to the both of us,” stated Mimi.

 

There was no way that Torate wanted to admit that the stress was a lot for him, but it certainly was not something he wanted to endure for very much time.

 

The world was swimming around them in a frenzied rush to clean up the station, fix everything, identify all of the criminals, but suddenly for the love birds, it froze.

 

It was all of 10 seconds... a refreshing 10 second kiss that put the world back in focus for both of them.

 

He released the kiss and looked into her eyes. “Mimi, I am in error. I can correct it and make the meal for au after we set the departments in order this evening.” He hoped this would show his true love that he was seriously sorry for the terrible way he ordered her around during the last couple shifts without a hint of love. In his heart, he knew the orders were valid, however, he was going to make an effort to find a better way or different tone with Mimi.

 

Mimi was starting to feel the exhaustion starting to set in. “Definitely, after this shift, I’ll see you in our quarters.”
