On:

Leroy was cleared for duty after that world that he had been injured on. The Caly had stopped at Typhon, and Leroy decided to call home and see how the family was doing. His mother had remarried after his fathers death in some sort of freak warp accident. The man had been a Marine and had gone to his doom with a laugh on his lips. The man had always been laughing. Stopping at a comm station, Leroy pais for hid time and waited.

"Hello?" His mother said coming to the screen. The house behind her looked different but the tears could do that.

"Hey Mom, I just wanted to see how you and Adam are doing."

"Me and who? Who are you Captain?" Jensen thought it was just a joke, so he laughed like his father used to when Jensen would pull the same thing.

"You know who I am Mom."

"Are you one of Sandra's friends? I swear the only reason that you guys call me Mom is-"

"Who's on the comm Jane?" A voice from Jensens past said and walked up. As his father came into view, Jensen began to feel tears grow in his eyes.

"Dad?" Jensen said looking at the man. "But your dead, you've been dead since I was ten..."

"Dead? No, my ship vanished but I had been called home for the birth of my daughter. It being my only living child, my CO let me come home for some leave."

Jensen was almost in tears, they were growing but he wouldn't let his family see him cry. "I'm your son, Jensen. I joined the Corps because of you."

"We had a stillborn son that we named Jensen, only because the Doctor said we should never bury a child without a name." Jensen cut the link and looked around. His family didn't know who he was, and he had never been born. What was going on?
