Great chapter. Lucy I never said she wouldn't be happy about the pregnancy. Maybe just concerned, if the baby would be in human form??? You know given Horatio's original state. Although, I am now concerned for Horatio, what is happening? Is his body rejecting human form? What does this mean for Horatio and Ehleina, I am on the edge of my seat now! Jen Ah, ok Jen - I got you now.... Me being brain dead.... @ Sanne - You sure got it right - a shell is exactly what Ehliena is thinking H is right now.... Lucy

Great chapter Lucy. I think you ladies may be right. If I remember correctly, he was talking (I think with Will), several chapters ago, when he was dating Ro Laren, and all that about his being intimate with someone, I think it may have to do with that 'joining' stuff that he was talking about. I forget the technical terms he used, but I understood the bottom line of it all.
Anyway, great chapter Lucy. Can't wait to see where you take it next. Hopefully it's not a boulder in the road for our couple.

Why would you want to climb out of the gutter...? It's such a nice place to be...... So.. What else can we find out about Horatio's 'condition'? Enjoy Lucy Chapter 56 Horatio was quiet. He could sense that Ehliena was worried about something and he had a pretty good idea what it was. Sighing, he ordered drinks from the bar waiting for her to arrive. “If something is bugging you, you should say something you know.” Horatio gave a half smile at Guinan’s voice. “It’s not important. Just something I have to deal with. It’ll pass.” Guinan was not impressed, “Horatio, you’re not the Sentinel anymore. Part of the reason why we have friends is to share our thoughts – our concerns – you’d be surprised as to how much it helps to be able to talk. Ehliena is better than most at listening…” Horatio shook his head, “No… I can’t burden her with this; it’ll worry her too much. Besides – I told you, it’ll pass.” Guinan frowned, “and if it doesn’t?” Horatio turned slightly, spotting Ehliena walk in, “then I’ll deal with it. Please don’t say anything to Ehliena…” As his partner joined him, he gave her a warm smile, “Ready for lunch? Better have something filling – we have the Cardassians and the Klingons this afternoon – could be a while.” Ehliena returned the smile, Horatio glad to see that she seemed less concerned than she had that morning, “Hmm good idea. Any suggestions Guinan?” The older woman nodded and moved away to get them something, telling Horatio with a glance that she did not agree with his decision. &&& Deanna was worried, after exchanging pleasantries with her mother – a trying situation at any time – she had carefully approached the situation. Lwaxana Troi was as puzzled by the circumstances as much as her daughter had been. “I haven’t heard anything little one. Let me speak to Manager Mandela about it and get back to you. He’s currently at a conference in Australia of all places. Something to do with plate tectonics or other geological matter, I’m really not sure.” Deanna hid a smile; her mother could be guaranteed to shy away from anything scientific, though the fact that she even knew the geological terms was already impressive. “Thank you mother, I’d appreciate it. Ehliena’s trying not to show it, but she really is worried.” Lwaxana gave her daughter a smile, “Don’t you worry, Deanna. I’ll look into it, in the meantime, you look after your little cousin – she and Horatio are quite the heroes down here you know. Can’t let anything happen to them.” Deanna smiled and after a short goodbye she cut the link and went looking for Beverley Crusher. && Horatio sighed and leant back in his chair; finally after a week of moving back and for, seemingly getting nowhere he and Ehliena had managed to get the Cardassians and Klingons to agree. Ehliena was currently sweet talking the two diplomats in the bar, but he had excused himself for a moment. Once again he felt weakened and wondered if he dared steal a little more energy from Ehliena that evening while she slept. He had come to rely on her life force more and more over the last few days, but knew she was getting suspicious. He had to be careful – now the negotiations were over, his Human energy would build if he rested, but there was no telling what would happen next. Life on the Enterprise was anything but normal and boring.

OMG, that doesn't sound good at all. So what is happening to Horatio? Hopefully he will get some much needed sleep.

You're right ladies, this does not sound good at all. Hopefully now, he'll be able to rest and recharge his energy.
Terrific chapter, Lucy, although it leaves more questions than it answered. (That was the plan, right? LOL) Can't wait to see where you take it next.

Poor Horatio.........resorting to stealing. Come on tell Ehliena she may be able to help you more than you think......perhaps she has the answer to this problem.
