When it comes to DC - I don't need dragging in to any gutter.... I jump in willingly... So... Where did Ehliena disappear to? If she thought the surprises were over - Horatio has another in store... Lucy Chapter 51 Horatio didn’t need the computer to find Ehliena, his senses told him exactly where she was, though he could have guessed easily. What did surprise him was the location she had chosen on holodeck 3. Why Symehk?Ehliena smiled softly as Horatio emerged from the wooded path and joined her on the rocks overlooking the bay. Because it’s more peaceful than any other place I know. Horatio smiled and sat behind her, arms wrapped around her waist head resting on her shoulder as he felt her lean back into him. I’ve asked the Captain for larger quarters…Why?Because Deanna will want her office back and we need somewhere to work. I’ve asked if it would be possible to have rooms normally given to a small family – Then the second room can be converted into a small office area.Ehliena nodded her head slightly, it was a good idea. She was just about to say something when a wisp of thought caught her attention and she realised that Horatio had not told her everything. Is there anything else you want to tell me?Horatio paused, he had allowed the thought to escape to peak Ehliena’s curiosity. Well, I’ll be moving in there of course – and Geordi will be putting in the shields for me as I have at the moment. He hesitated slightly, hoping that his next move wasn’t too soon. You know, larger quarters mean more space… Ehliena turned her head slightly trying to see the look on his face, but in the evening light that she had requested, she couldn’t quite see anything. So you’ll have plenty of room to move around in.Plenty of room to feel alone in…Ehliena sighed softly, she had a feeling where this was heading, but wasn’t sure how far Horatio was going to take it. What are you saying?Horatio took a deep breath and for a moment switched to verbal communication, “I guess I’m saying that if we were on Earth, I’d be asking for you to move in with me…” Ehliena bit her lip nervously, on top of the day’s other surprises, she felt a little overwhelmed. Cautiously she asked a question, how long have you been thinking about this…?Horatio chuckled softly, knowing that Ehliena would not like to think she was pushing for anything. Since the moment you accepted my feelings for you… and I would also like everyone to know that we are together.“They already know that, we don’t need to say anything.” “I would just like to make it… official. Nothing formal, but it would be nice to escort you to a concert or play being presented, rather than arriving separately…” Ehliena turned slightly, giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. I think that sounds like a great idea… When do we start?How about now? Everyone is enjoying Deanna’s party – we could go and get changed and I’ll pick you up. Then we can go back to the party together.

What a wonderful chapter. I had a feeling that is why he wanted the bigger quarters. I am also happy she has accepted. So they will finally come out as a couple, I bet this will be a big relief on the two of them, not having to hide it anymore. Not that everyone didn't already know.

Terrific chapter, Lucy. I loved the surprise that Captain Picard had for them. He did plan just that way on the series, with Wesley, so you were right on the money with that. I also loved Ehliena's reaction, almost missing what else the Captain was saying.
I knew Horatio had bigger plans than just for 'office' space when he asked for bigger quarters. One did not need to be a telepath to see that ulterior motive a mile away. I'm also glad that Ehliena has said yes to moving in with him. Glad to see their relationship moving on to that next level.
Very well done, Lucy. Can't wait to see where you take it next.
Your friend NV Oracle

i could tell that horatio wanted bigger quarters for other reasons other than work! im so happy that ehliena said yes! but working together and living together isn't always a good thing (i know this from experiance) so i hope that everything works out and it doesn't get too much for them! great chap lucy! luv sam x

So... How is Horatio going to 'announce' that his and Ehliena's relationship is 'official'? Enjoy.... Lucy Chapter 52 Approaching 10 Forward, Ehliena began to feel nervous, she had put on the red silk dress at Horatio’s request and taken her hair out of its usual ponytail. Horatio caught hold of her arm and looped it through his, sending her a phantom caress along the arm as he did so. Ready?Ehliena took a deep breath and nodded her head. As Horatio escorted her through the doors, she saw a couple of heads turn, broad grins indicating that they’d been noticed. A small ripple of applause came from the corner of the room making her blush when she saw that Will and Deanna were leading that small group. Behind the bar Guinan was grinning and pouring two identical drinks that looked a little unusual for 10 Forward, though she found them looking familiar. Bringing them over Guinan chuckled, “it seems that everyone is going 21st century retro these days, so I thought I’d join in… Mojito?” Ehliena chuckled and the smile on Horatio’s face showed that he too was enjoying the joke. The next moment they were joined by their friends, Will leading the teasing as Ehliena knew he would. “About time you two sorted yourselves out. You’ve been keeping us waiting.” Geordi joined in, “Data and I were trying to work out if we could make something electronic to drag you together – but Horatio could have probably been able to undo it, or break it with that energy manipulation thing that he can do.” Everyone was chuckling when Worf, quite out of character grasped Horatio firmly by the shoulders. “Congratulations my friend, you have found what many Klingons search their whole life for; a mate that compliments them perfectly.” Catching Ehliena in a gentle hug he astounded his friends further. “You will bring honour and joy to this ship and your family Ehliena, should you ever need help of any kind you will know where to find me.” “Should either of you feel the need for security during a negotiation, and my duties permit it, I will provide that service myself.” Will nodded agreement, “An excellent idea Worf, the Ambassador and his aide will certainly require an official warrior escort on some worlds to be treated with the respect they deserve. I will make a note that it becomes part of your duties.” Worf straightened in pride and nodded his head, making his friends smile, Will continuing the conversation. “Horatio, we’ll start preparing your new quarters tomorrow, hopefully they’ll be ready within a couple of hours and you can move in. Ehliena we’ll start to prepare your new quarters too, Lieutenant Commanders deserve better than Lieutenant’s quarters.” Ehliena blushed as Horatio began to chuckle, “that won’t be necessary Will, but I would like a hand or two to help move Ehliena’s things into… our… new quarters.” A few eyebrows raised, but the smiles that accompanied them were genuine, Deanna pulled Ehliena to one side to give her cousin a hug, “I think it’s wonderful that you two are together and staying on the Enterprise. At least you can show your relationship out in the open.” Ehliena chuckled wickedly, startling her older cousin with the confidence she now had, “You could too you know…” Dropping her voice to a whisper she continued, “You just need to give Will a good nudge…” Deanna’s eyes opened wide in amazement, her tone light and happy, “Hmmm, you could be right there…” She moved closer, whispering conspiratorially, “Race you to the altar…” Ehliena shook her head, “No… not yet… give me a year…” Deanna burst out laughing; somehow I don’t think Horatio will wait that long judging by the look on his face… Ehliena grinned and the two of them rejoined their friends for the rest of the evening.
