Mission: Point of View
Location: Arboretum
Timeline: After "Harry" was dropped off.

Victoria let out a slow breath as she sat on a bench, admiring the beautiful flora from all over the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Moments like these helped her to relax after the last mission. Thankfully all of the ship's systems were returning to normal. She soon felt a familiar presence approaching her direction. "Stalking me, Arnon?" she grinned, turning in his direction

"Can you blame me?" Arnon replied. He leaned in and kissed Victoria, lingering a moment before rising. "May I join you?"

"Oh? You mean you're not going to kidnap me and take me back to your quarters and do evil things to me?" she chuckled as she patted the seat next to her for him to sit.

Arnon grinned as he too a seat.

"Oh I absolutely intend to kidnap you, take you back to quarters, and do not only evil, but also unspeakable things to you," he said. "But it's nice here so I thought we could sit and hold hands, maybe even kiss, and do some of those mushy things I've heard women like."

Arnon took Victoria's hand and kissed it, then leaned in and nuzzled and kissed her neck before sitting up again.

"Such a naughty boy," Victoria said, smiling. "Did I tell you my little sister is aboard?"

"Markos mentioned something about your sister being aboard," Arnon said. "I was planning to ask you about her just now but I was distracted by a wanton woman. Do I get to meet her? Your sister I mean. I've already met the wanton woman in question and she has seduced me completely with her ravishing good looks, feminine wiles, magnificent mind, and nearly insatiable desires."

"Yeah, you'll meet her," Victoria smiled. "How is your son doing?"

"Actually," Arnon said with a smile. "Both my son and my daughter just arrived aboard the Calypso! They've been posted here. Carlos is settling in with the marines, and Rhiannon is going to make time to introduce herself to you as soon as possible. She's a nurse in your department now!"

"That's wonderful!" Victoria smiled. "I look forward to meeting them."

Arnon frowned.

"I'm a bit nervous," he said. "I haven't lived this close with my children, over an extended period of time, since the first five or so years of their lives. I saw them regularly, though, whenever I could, and communicated with them regularly. They knew I was their father even though their mothers were married to each other and not me. I wanted it that way, and I encountered no resistance from Rachel and Shannon. In fact, they insisted that I continue to be a part of our children's lives. Others would have...gotten the genetic material, used a turkey baster, and then advised me not to let the door knob hit me in the backside on the way out. Ours was a much more...loving arrangement. Nonetheless, I worry! What will they think of their father once I become a part of their regular lives again?"

"Well, you're a trained physician, a psychologist, and rather handsome so I think they'll like you," Victoria said, placing her arm around him.

Arnon chuckled.

"I'm rather proud of them," he said. "And I've not been shy about letting them know that I'm proud. They're good kids, if sometimes so like me it's oddly disturbing. Carlos has Rachel's toughness and Shannon's compassion. Some say he has what they call my charm, but I am not so arrogant as to brag about that. Rhiannon is compassionate like her mother and can be tough like Rachel, but also playful. Some people call her a flirt, sometimes with negative meaning. Then they realize she has actual designs on many of the people she flirts with."

Arnon looked at Victoria and laughed.

"After all," he said. "They are my children!"

"Sounds like I am going to have my hands full," she laughed. "One of you is bad enough."

Arnon laughed.

"They are both going to be jealous of me," he said. "And I will be insufferable, having successfully wooed arguably the most attractive, inside and out, woman on the ship. I can't wait."

"Flatterer," she accused with a smile.

"Guilty," he said. "But just because it's flattery doesn't make it any less true, my love."

Arnon leaned in and kissed Victoria. He did that a lot, but she didn't seem to mind. He was very physically affectionate. They kissed for a bit, then sat with each other, cuddling close and holding hands.

"So...I thought you were going to do unspeakable things to me," she teased with a smile. She enjoyed Arnon's affection--it made her forget about the hardships of the day.

Arnon grinned.

"Would you prefer those unspeakable things be done to you here or in the privacy of your quarters?" he said.

"Best to go to my quarters," she grinned.

Arnon held out his hand for Victoria.

"Shall we?" he said.

"Lets," she said, standing as they walked out of the arboretum.
