Cam and Abby's Relationship (Part 1)
By: Cam Locktight Date: January 11, 2012, 5:14 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Lock smiled at Abby and chuckled. "Was I that obvious. Sorry, I
feel like I should be here serving you all instead of mingling
with you all. Just, I don't know, my training kicking in with
being low man on the totem pole and all. Don't worry, I will
relax and enjoy the experience." He offered her a warm smile and
took another drink.
returns the smile "only to those with Empathic abilities Lock
and I was uneasy around Commodore Tellok when I first came
onboard even though I've known him and Admiral Phaserman for
years"
He chuckled at that. "I'm not that worried really, things could
be worse, I could be here with the all the Head Honchos of
Starfleet in my boxers, and be more nervous. Now I can just
imagine that, a Lt Jg standing there in his boxers like nothing
is wrong. "No Admiral, my uniform is quite fine, just felt like
I needed some cooling down. Fine day isn't it." He hoped that
his joke wasn't to overboard, and didn't insult Abby, she was a
great lady, and he would love to get to know her more.
Ruanek: Philip Armstrong come here at once
"oh hi daddy"
Ruanek: what were you doing near my fighter?
"trying to get back to the Veroto, I have some match making to
do"
Ruanek: you are not going back to the Federation for 2 months,
there's a reason your mother has a crate of Romulan Ale
"Romulan Ale she can't drink daddy, mummy was almost kicked out
of Starfleet because she has a drinking problem"
Ruanek: thank you for telling me Philip I'll make sure to send
non-alcoholic Romulan Ale to her when you go back but that won't
be for 2 months, don't you want to spend time with your brother?
"you mean cousin daddy and I really want to go back to mummy she
might need me"
Ruanek: ok but only for a week understand Philip?
"yes daddy, that should be heaps of time for me to set mummy up
with Lock and deliver the non-alcoholic Romulan Ale"
Ruanek: good, make sure you inform your mother of your arrival
or I'll set up a training session for you
"yes father"~mummy I'm coming home for a week, warn Lock~ done
Ruanek: *takes Philip to the nearest transport station to the
Neutral zone in his fighter* I'll see you when you get back
Philip and try not to go too hard on this Lock, you don't want
to scare him off
"oh don't worry daddy he's not easily scared" boards the first
transport home with the crate of Romulan Ale
smiles at the joke, "that could be rather embarrassing" receives
the message from her son "here comes trouble, Ruanek has just
put Philip on the next transport here ~and he's also sensed your
emotions Lock so he's coming here to play match maker, should I
tell him there's no need for him to play match maker?~" looks
down a little knowing Philip's also sensed her feelings.
Lock looked at Abby with a smile. "I would love to meet Phillip
anyway, and it's up to you on whether he actually needs to play
matchmaker or not. I will admit that I like you Abby, and would
love to get to know you better, but I'm sure you already can
tell my feelings about this. So does he need to play matchmaker,
or do I just get to meet him now?" He lifted her chin up and
gave her a winning smile.
places her arms around him"I have and you'll get to meet him
when he comes home and I hope that Kira or Baj won't mind
babysitting him at least one night~Philip unless you're bringing
more Romulan Ale with you there's no need for you to play match
maker I'm sure Lock and I will hopefully have had our first date
by the time you arrive~"
P. Armstrong: "~I'm bringing some non-alcoholic Romulan Ale with
me mummy and I want to get to know Lock a little~"
"~after you've spent time with your father and you've delievered
the Romulan Ale mummy can drink~
P. Armstrong: ~I'll be there in about two days~
"he'll be here in two days and I told him that we'd hopefully
have had our first date by then"
Lock smiled and nodded. "Sounds like a plan. We can go do
something tomorrow if you like. Oh and I'm sure you already know
this from files and stuff, but the names Camden, but you can
call me Cam or Lock if you want to keep with the Code Names, at
least in private." He wrapped his own arms around her, and
looked around. He wasn't sure about certain things, but he knew
that this felt right for some reason. He had nothing against
kids, or women who come into relationships with them.
"You can tell Phillip that I look forward to meeting him when he
gets here, and when he gets back from visiting with his father
this time, we will do something together, see how things go."
"code names only while on duty, in private you have my
permission to call me Abigail or Abby ~Phillip Cam is looking
forward to meeting you and doing something with you after you've
spent time with your father and Vaebn~"
P. Armstrong: ~yes mummy and I might forget that I have to be
home in a week~
"~Philip if you spend time with your father Cam and I can get to
know one another better and you won't have to spend time with
Lela~"
P. Armstrong: ~ok I'll go home in a week and mummy it's about
time~
"~good boy~ we could do something after our shifts?"
"Sounds like a plan. What would you like to do, dinner or
something? I don't know exactly what there is to do on this
ship, but we can figure out something." He looked into her eyes
and smiled. He could get lost in those eyes, --boy I want to
kiss her, but I don't want her to think I'm moving to fast.-- He
thought to himself with a small chuckle.
kisses him "dinner, then maybe the holodeck and it sometimes
pays to be with a telepath"
Lock blushed a bit, but then smiled. "That sounds like a great
time for tonight." He kissed her back at least, and then turned
to the others in the room, wondering what they might be
thinking, or even if they had noticed yet the change in what was
going on. He didn't care, he was happy.
"~a couple of them are happy for us, well Baj and Kira are and
the rest~ kisses him again "~don't care about them I'm only one
rank above you and we'll be leaving ranks at our stations~"
Lock smiled, he liked kissing her. "Good to hear, and your
right, ranks don't mean a thing, and we will leave them with
work." He kissed her on the nose now and smiled.
smiles back ~I could get used to this Cam~
"Me to Abby, me to. I wonder if they would even notice if we
left?" He smiled mischeviously at her.
"probably not, but much as I don't want to we should stay"
"Ok we stay, and I promise you a massage you will never forget
later tonight if you would like." He smiled and kissed her
again.
kisses back "now you're making me want to make a quick visit to
a holographic Risa"
Lock chuckled at that, "That does sound like fun, maybe find a
secluded spot for a picnic or something like that." He nuzzled
her neck a bit more, loving just being in contact with her.
"Hmm, what's this perfume your wearing, it's delightfully
fragrant."
"just something I sprayed on, didn't really look at the bottle
and if you're trying to get me to the holodeck it's working".
"Good to hear Abby, because I would love to see what kind of fun
we can get into on the Holodeck we can get into. Shall we go?"
"Risa awaits, ~Kira we'll be back when you or Baj get to the new
mission~"
Lock smiled and offered Abby his arm before saying his good byes
and see you all laters to everyone and heading out the door.
"Anything you need before we head out?"
"just the picnic basket otherwise I'm all set" kisses him
Lock smiled and went by one of the near by replicators and
ordered up a picnic lunch in a basket, and then took Abby's
hand. "Shall we go then?"
"~Baj do you know why my mummy has blocked me from contacting
her?~"
Baj looked around and saw that everyone still at the briefing
had finished eating their lunch and decided that he had given Lt
Armstrong and Lt Locktight enough of a chance to come back on
their own. He knew instinctively what had been going on for the
past hour or two since he had know Abby for years. Baj shook his
head and looked to Kira. She nodded motioned her head toward her
desk. He rose and went to the terminal. As he sat down, he got a
message from Philip:
"~Baj do you know why my mummy has blocked me from contacting
her?~"
He replied with a brief, slightly censored idea of what Abby was
most likely doing. When he got no immediate response from
Philip, he began to work at the terminal.
In Abby's quarters, just as Locktight and Armstrong were
entering the sonic shower, holoemitters built into the
bulkheads, just as they were throughout the ship, came to life.
Baj seemed to suddenly appear to Abby and Camden. "Both of you,
get dressed, now, you are late for a briefing and have skipped
out on a lunch with your commanding officers." The hologram
turned and looked back into the rest of the quarters and saw Lt
Locktight's belongings strewn about. "And isn't it a little
early to be moving in together Abby?" He gave her a look that
said not to push anything when she opened her mouth to respond.
"Make sure to approve the move with Quarters Assignment. Get
dressed and get back now." He walked over to Abby's dresser,
picked up a picture of Steve Armstrong, stared at it a moment,
then gave Abby a not quite sad, not quite stern look as he put
the picture face down on the dresser and dissappeared.
Back in Kira's quarters, Baj stood from the terminal after
closing the hologrid manual controls and program interface. He
stood just behind and to the side of Kira as she announced that
the briefing would begin as soon as some missing staff appeared.
~So how long have they had these holo thingies inside quarters?~
Thinking about how many times that he could have been
caught doing some things, and just exactly what the commanding
officers knew, or worse, his boss in intelligence knew.
"~it's based on the prometheus class and they have holo-emmiters
everywhere~" Abby goes over and puts Steve's photo the way
it was "~Baj doesn't seem to approve of us if him putting
Steve's picture face down is any indication~"
~No it doesn't seem like it. Is there something I should know?~~
Lock walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
*the picture of steve had changed, it had a holographic layer
over it, and now showed a very different looking Steve*
**Cam looks at the picture of Steve, wondering what the
Commander was so worried about.**
~only that I once told Baj that I had feelings for him~ Abby
runs a finger over Steve's face remembering the last time they
were together before his death.
Cam smiles thinking this was interesting. ~~So should I be
jealous, or is he the jealous type that can't see when things
aren't what they seemed at one time?~~
*the steve seems to look up at Abby and Cam, then dissolves from
the frame, leaving only the background*
~the only person you should be jealous of is Steve, Baj and I
never acted on those feelings he was too busy commanding the
Veroto~ Steve just because I'm getting married again doesn't
mean I'm not going to still miss you like crazy, any guy after
you has to share me with you
Cam understood. ~~He sounded like a wonderful man, but why
should I be jealous of a dead man?~
~because you have to share my heart with him, I'm still very
much in love with husband number one~
P. Armstrong: ~Baj it makes sense for them to live together,
they're engaged and I approve of their marriage he's worthy of
my mummy~
Cam took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok I can live with that,
since you love me also, I will live with the fact that you love
another also. I hope to learn more about him also through your
recolections and memories.~~
Baj shook his head slightly as he heard philip in his head ~They
are just moving awfully fast, barely know eachother, especially
to be engaged. I'm just looking out for a friend~
Abby looked to Cam ~I love you as much as I love him~
P. Armstrong: ~Steve?~
Cam smiled and kissed her. ~~Glad to hear that my Imzadi, and I
will happily take that part of your heart as my own. You are one
incredible woman who has enough room in her heart for the men in
her life.~~
*Steve's picture then did something it was not designed to do.
It burst into flames and proceeded to shrivel like old,
burning paper, til there was nothing left.*
Baj shook his head again. ~No Philip, not Steve, though he was
my friend too. I'm trying to look out for your mom.~
Abby kisses him back "computer replicate another picture of
Steven Armstrong, both of you belong here"
Cam smiled and just held her. ~~I hate to say this, but we do
need to go back and face the music. And your right he does
deserve to be here also.~~ He then said a prayer up to the gods
that were out there. "I promise you Steve, I will take care of
our girl."
Baj tapped his combadge, =/\= Commodore Tellok to Armstrong and
Locktight, get up here, NOW.=/\=
P. Armstrong: ~Baj he'll look after her and he wouldn't have
proposed without my approval
Cam sighed ~~Well orders are orders love, let's get dressed and
head back to work.~~ While she was getting ready, he went over
to the replicator in the room and whispered something to it
which materialized Then walked back over to Abby and knealed
before her. ~~My Imzadi, let's make this official for everyone.
Will you be my wife and be with me for the rest of our lives.~~
He held out a simple engagement ring, one that was elegant in
it's simplicity and style.
"~I will~" Abby replaces the photo that burst into flames with
the new one "the computer chose Steve on our wedding day, he
always did look good in uniform"
Baj sighed and responded to Philip: ~I am sure that your high
opinion of him is justified, even if you don't know him either,
but its not Cam I'm worried about~
~~I can see that, great choice in men you have.~~ Cam slipped
the ring on her finger, then finished getting dressed.
~thank you~
Lock kissed her and then waited for her to get ready
P. Armstrong: ~at least he's better than the last guy that she
slept with or offered her heart to Baj~
~Then why are you talking to him Philip?~ Baj blocked Philip
from his mind.
Abby gets back into her uniform "Steve you would've been here if
you hadn't died, I would've insisted on it" looks out at Cam
knowing Baj's fears are unjustified.
Cam smiles at her and offers his arm. ~~Shall we go face the
firing squad now~~
Abby smiles back and takes it~yes we shall~ the two of them go
back to the briefing "Commodore you and General Hardfighter had
your chance"
Cam chuckles at that and nods. "Yep she's all mine now, for now
and forever."
"that I am" Abby kisses Cam.
Cam kisses her back, pouring his love for her again into it
letting the others know from his actions that she was his and he
was hers.
Baj looks at Hardfighter, then to Lock, "You can keep her Lt.,
but you two will not display yourselves like that while on
duty."
Cam reluctantly broke the kiss. "Sir yes Sir."
Abby replies "aye sir and Philip prefered you over Hardfighter
je"
Cam couldn't help but smile at that.
Kira looked at them "Now sit down both of you, or must we wait
while you go off for more of eachother?" and raised an eyebrow
while letting her fangs show without smiling.
"Yes Ma'am, sorry for keeping the meeting held up." Cam held a
chair out for Abby and then sat down next to her.
Abby replied "you don't have to wait Kira and you know how I was
with Steve on the Slipsteam"
Baj moved over to a small control panel built into the table and
keyed up the briefing. A starchart appeared over the table and
began to move and rotate until it came to a fixed position on a
single star system.
Cam went into professional mode and looked at the star system,
wondering why they were so interested in one system over all the
others that were out there.
Abby asked "why that system ma'am?"
Baj started "We are to investigate a minimally charted star
system, hasn't been mapped in something like 5 years."
"what was the last ship that visited it?" asked Abby.
Kira broke in, "This is just a shakedown cruise, a mapping
mission to get the hang of our new ship"
Cam nodded, taking notes in his head about what they might have
to go through and what intelligence they would have to gather.
"some of us already have a hang of it" Abby glares at Baj
slightly.
Baj answered Abby's question, but ignored her comment "There was
a small survey mission, a few vessels, most of them not named
properly. They barely scratched the surface of the system."
Cam nodded as he listened. "So we're going to be mapping this
system and seeing what's out there. Is there anything you want
me to tell my boss about this, or has he already been informed
of what we're going to do?"
Lela looked up from where she was sitting, glancing between Baj,
Abby, and Cam, wondering what had been going on. She was only
able to grab bits and pieces since baj was trying to block her
from detecting the tension and thoughts in the room.
Cam looked over at Lela and smiled. "How are you doing Sparrow?"
P. Armstrong: ~my mummy and Lock are getting married and Baj
doesn't seem very happy about it, maybe they'll ask you to be
flower girl~
Lela lit up at the sound of her code name. "I am doing good
Lock! How was your break-" she made quotations with her hands
like she had seen the adults do when Abby and Cam had
left,"-with Stormer?" She liked using the code names.
"It was very relaxing, and fun." Cam chuckled at that, not
hearing what Phillip had said to Lela, so he didn't say
anything.
~Philip told her what happened and had a good idea, want to talk
to Lela about being flower girl?~ Abby turned toward Lela
"actually Sparrow something happened during the break that I
would like you talk to you and your mummy about later"
Baj looked around to see if there were any more questions before
he dismissed everybody and went back to his own quarters and
Mara, who had been patiently waiting for him to come back.
~~Sounds like a good idea.~~ Cam, looking between Abby and Lela,
said, "Yah Sparrow, big happenings now, but we can talk about
that later"
Lela, looked to Abby and Cam and nodded, then saw that Baj was
finishing up and looked at him.
~~Show her the ring later, she might think it's pretty~~
~I will my love~ Abby smiles at Lela "Sparrow I hope you won't
avoid Philip too much he's on his way back here to get to know
Lock"
Baj saw that there were no questions and dismissed everybody,
",except those who live here, of course." He said at Kira's
look. "By the way, Lt's Armstrong and Locktight, you both are
working double shifts tonight. Don't leave a briefing like that
again, and don't make me come get you, ever." He turned and
headed for the door.
Cam groaned about the double shifts but nodded. "Aye Aye sir."
As Baj reached the door, Abby said "aye sir and if I didn't know
better I would say you were jealous"
P. Armstrong: pilot increase speed please, I want to get to the
Veroto sooner
Before leaving Baj turned back to Abby, "Not at all, after all,
I have an Orion waiting for me in my quarters. I just don't want
to see you hurt." And he left.
