---Flashback---
Larim got home at 0400, with orders to pack. He left the Admirals office and sensed Lwaxanna was still awake. His hear sank. He didn't expect to be gone for three hours. Granted most of that time was spent commuting to and from his office. He figured he was in for a tongue lashing when he entered. His own senses told him different, He sensed a calm about her. "She never ceases to amaze me!" he thought.
"Thank you!" Lwaxanna replied telepathically. "Everything go well with the Admiral?" she asked. "What'd he want anyway?"
"Well to promote me to Lieutenant for one thing. Why he couldn't do it at a more decent hour is beyond me."
Lwaxanna shrugged her shoulders. "Admirals." she said, getting a coffee for each of them out of a freshly brewed pot. "Cream and sugar?"
"Yeah." he said. "Admirals, almost as unreadable as a Ferengi!" he said. They both shared a quick laugh.
"So just that?" she sensed something more.
"Well, he did offer me a shipboard posting. Intrepid class." He replied. "He made a convincing argument."
"I"m happy for you." Lwaxanna said But she sensed something more. "Theyre making you leave us behind. Typical of Starfleet." she laughed.
Larim joined in. "Yeah well, whaddaya gonna do? I still have time to say no." he offered.
"You'll do nothing of the kind!" She said. "You've been wanting this for so long." she added. "And we've been apart before."
"We didn't have our child then." raising one finger in the air.
"True." she said. "But don't forget. Our betazoid portion, telepathic link Imzadi."
Larim facepalmed. How cold he forget something so simple. He kissed her squarely on the lips. "I love you." he said
"I know." she replied. "Now go before I get a phaser and make you!"
"Yes admiral!" he said, hoisting his duffel, finishing his coffee and stepping out into the unknown.
