as long as you need."
"Somehow, I think you just want to have me around so you can keep an eye on
me. I think you need to be worried about the rest of the clan. I am just a
scientist. The rest of your children are in Security, Special Ops, and
Intelligence."
His maman eyeed Gabe. "I did not realize that it was a crime for a mother
to want her children close enough to see them. I understand that you all
have careers that keep you far away, but since you are so close now...."
Ariel smiled. It was going to be tough for Gabe to get out of this one.
"Now, you've done it little brother. You are gonna make her cry."
"Oh, Maman," said Daphne as she rested a hand on her mother's shoulder,
playing up the scene. "I am sure that he will make time to visit even if he
isn't willing to live with you and Papa."
Gabe's eyes tightened as he sneered at his sister. He had no desire to get
into a fight with her or anyone else about where he is going to live. "To
be honest, it is pretty futile until I know exactly where I am going to be
assigned. I don't even know if my being on the station is a temporary thing
so it might mean just getting quarters on the station until I head back to
Io."
His mother smiled. "I was just kidding. With all of my children in
Starfleet, I know the demands that service requires. I just want you to
realize that it would be nice of you to visit. This type of lunch is a
wonderful way to do that."
Just then, the waitress arrived with the bill. Lucien pressed his thumb
into the PADD to register his ID. "How soon before all of you are back on
shift?"0
Daphne and Ariel both looked at each other. "To be honest, Papa, both of
us are here during our lunch break."
"The same for me," replied the sole Engineer of the family, It has been
wonderful being able to get together as a group like this again," she
replied before turning to Gabe. "You know, you could stay with me and the
kids until you know how long you are going to be stationed in the area.
There is no reason that you need to get settled into a hotel room or
something and then having to move on. We have enough room."
