Lounge

[GeneralWallace]

:: He enters, looking around at the few people there. After sitting down at the bar, he orders himself a glass of Scotch on the rocks. Nodding to the Bar keep when he got the drink, he took a sip of it.::

[FMar J Weslynes]

::She walks in and seeing General Wallace she smiles and takes a seat. Motioning to the waiter she orders Betazoid Coffee and Uttaberri Crapes.:: We got a lot done tonight. Looks like we will open as planned by the start date. ::she smiles at the waiter who brings her order.::
How have you been John? Its been a little while since we both served together.

Crystal walked in and looked around finding Jen and John sitting at the bar... she thought to herself 'I could use a drink' and walked over to join the two officers. She took her seat and smiled at the two. "Evening Yah'll.... How is everyone?"

The bartender walked towards Crystal cleaning off a glass... "What'll it be?"

She took a second to think about it and smiled, "Just give me a Racktagino with a touch of synthetic Bailey's Irish Cream, Jack.... Cant be drinkin the real stuff or my doc would kill me," she laughed as she finished her order. The bartender smiled at her and went off to create her drink...[/i] [/color]

[FMar J Weslynes]

::seeing Admiral Stuart walk in, she waves:: Hello Crystal. How are you today?
::overhearing what she said about the drink, she develops a half smile.:: Humm No alcohol? Doctor's orders? Could that mean? ::soft laugh:: How are you and Robert doing?

[Capt Jim Harsting (Ret)]

::He entered slowly, glancing around, moving towards the bar... he moved down past everyone, nodding to them as he walked... he then ran his hand through his hair, sighing slightly::

::The tender gave Crystal her order, then looked to Jim... :: The usual?

No... I need something with more kick... ::Jim spoke somewhat softly, he thought for a moment:: Crown?

[radmcrystalstuart]

Jim walked in and Crystal gave him a welcoming smile, "Hey there Jim..."

Jack came back over and placed Crystal's coffee in front of her, "Here yah go, Crystal..."

"Thanks Jack..." She flips him a slip of latinum. Jack smiled and went over to Jim to take his order...

Crystal shed a coy smile towards Jen and couldnt help but laugh at her statement... "Yah know.. its not fair you being Betazoid and all. Can never keep a secret from you!" Giggles and takes a sip of her coffee, savoring the aroma and flavor. Places the cup back down still smiling and turns to Jen again, "We are doing fine...." [/i][/color]

[FMar J Weslynes]

:: Looking at Crystal :: You don't need to be telepathic to know a pregnant woman shouldn't drink. And add to that the slightly pale color you get sometimes only for a moment then it passes. One last clue all the time you and Robert spend together. :: smiles :: You don't get to this rank, without being somewhat aware of the things around you.
:: She reaches for her coffee takes a sip then takes a mouthful of uttaberri crapes half smiling at Crystal's expression. Swallows it. :: Congratulations.

[Capt Jim Harsting (Ret)]

::Jim smiled slightly:: Hey Crystal... ::Then Jim raised a brow, as Jack gave him his Crown Royale, looking over at Crystal, smiled then, and downed the shot, he pulled some latinum out, setting it on the bar, nodding to Jack to keep it coming:: Congrats boss. ::He smirked slightly::

[radmcrystalstuart]

Crystal looked at the two and a glow came about her and she smiled warmly, looking down at the new Claddagh ring that adorns her left hand.. "Thank you both...." She gives both Jim and Jen a hug and laughed a little... "Now how to tell my sister that she's going to be an Aunt, hehe" Her eyes scanned behind the bar, "Hey Jack?"

Jack poped out from behind the bar, it looked like he was putting some bottles away. "What can I do for yah?"

"Can yah get me a plate of stawberries?"

"Sure"

Jim and Jen looked at her strangely and Crystal giggled, "Sorry...cravings."[/i][/color]

[FMar J Weslynes]

:: Finishes her crapes and then looks at Crystal, smiling. :: This is your first child if I remember correctly. May the Gods bless you with a daughter. :: The wish had escaped without her thinking. :: I'm sorry, if that wasn't the correct wish. For a Betazoid, the first child being a daughter, is considered a very special blessing from the Gods. But what is truly important is baby is born healthy, and into a home that is filled with love.

::Looking at Jack:: Dalarian ale room temperature. :: She takes the ale and gently swirls it.:: You know Jhonn and I had planned on having children. His son was killed during the occupation. :: She is suddenly filled with sadness, taking a deep breath she reaches for her ale and sips it.::

[Capt Jim Harsting (Ret)]

::Jim just stared at the bar, downing another shot, sighing slightly... children... yeah, that would be great... his mind wandered, he glanced up at Crystal, smiling slightly... I wonder if... Ana... hmm... ::

::He then glanced up, rubbing his chin (which he noted that needed shaved... 12 hour shifts do that), and smirked:: Planning on a boy or girl, Crystal?

[radmcrystalstuart]

Crystal could see the sadness in Jen's eyes and she placed her hand on her shoulder giving her a look of understanding and support. She thought about both of the two's statements on her future child. Her thoughts were interupted by the plate of strawberries being placed in front of her and a small cup of cream. She smiled, "Thanks Jack."

"No problem..."

Crystal picked up a strawberry and tried to answer, "Thank you Jen for your wishes....I would love to have a daughter...however," she took a bite of the strawberry and turned to face Jim, "Robert would like a boy...." She giggled. "Call me old fashioned, but i dont want to know untill this little one is born...." Places her hand on her abdomin. [/i][/color]

[FMar J Weslynes]

:: Jen reached up and touched Crystal's hand, and smiled.:: Thank you, Crystal for your kindness. But, this will take awhile longer. Jhonn has only been gone for a few months now. It has and will continue to get easier.

But this is not the time to talk of such things. There is a beautiful child who will be born. When is the little one due? You two must be so excited. :: she swirled her ale and watched it turn the familiar green hue. While listening to to Crystal. ::

[Capt Jim Harsting (Ret)]

::Jim sighed softly, letting the ladies mingle, he simply was trying to wind down, having had a long day... he pinched the bridge of his nose, having gotten a slight headache... something he would have to remedy by going to sickbay... but later, he looked up to Crystal, smirking a bit, waiting for her to answer Jen, so that he might hear the due date::

[radmcrystalstuart]

Crsytal pondered the question. She had forgotten the exact date the doc had said but knew it was still a ways away. "It'll be a while yet... and dont worry, Im not planning on early retirement, heh. Have every intention on becoming a working mother...."

She took a strawberry and dipped it in the cream than ate it. She couldnt help feel like she was going through the motions when she was a child. Crystal could recall the summer mornings when she would wake up and run downstairs to the kitchen table to find a plate full of freshly picked strwaberries from thier garden and a cup of fresh chilled cream. She smiled at the memory and then reluctantly brought her mind back to the present.

"All I know is that An said he/she was healthy and everything looked fine.. which is wonderful." Crystal turned to Jim, "So how are you and the beautiful doctor lady doing..." she winked. [/i][/color]
