Second time lucky

OOC: This is a backpost from after Peter's last post but before all
the recent ones. To put it bluntly.
Who: Chris and Peter
When: After the remaining Space Corps Vessels had left the ship
Where: The hangar bay
<snip>
"What the hell do you think you were doing telling them that Jay
isn't
here!!, thanks to you, Jay has now got half the Space Corps Really
Really Brave Division heading towards him."
"er...im sorry sir it wont happen again" Peter mumbled
"You betcha it won't happen again. I'll tell you what your going to
do..."
<end snip>
Chris stood and glared at Peter before he sighed and his gaze
drifted off to other things.
"yes sir?" said Peter.
"Oh shut up" snapped Chris, "I'm not gonna be so harsh as to send
you to work in Seymour's resteraunt as that is a really inhumain
punishment. What you're going to do is you're going to introduce all
new members of the crew and get them accustomed to life here, ok?"
"How long for?"
"Meh, just make it tomorrow and that's it, I cant be assed to
supervise you so...just make sure you do it, there's a new science
officer coming tomorrow, I cant remember her name but meh, just see
to it that she's accounted for" said Chris as he walked off.
"What an asshole" said Peter, stalking off somewhere, no doubt in
the direction of Parrots.
As Chris walked off he debated what to do with himself. He
considered going to see Jenny as she was nearing the all important
day of Birth. Then he remember what he had done last Christmas and
decided to let the memory of his sweet Kanako go unaltered in his
mind. This was all before he realised where the Space Corps ships
were headed to and what he had done about it.
"Harris to FeBuggre"
"Yes Harris, what is it?" came the voice of Phil.
"Goddammit, sorry Phil, wrong FeBuggre" said Chris, embarassed,
cutting off the comm link.
"Chris to Jack"
"Yeah dude, what's up?" replied Jack's voice this time
"Those space corps ships are headed for Jay" said Chris absent
mindedly.
"So?" asked Jack
"So Blow them up dumbass" said Chris with a laugh.
"Oh right....yeah" replied Jack before he cut communications.
Chris laughed and decided to go and see Jenny. He knocked on the
door and a minute or so later she appeared at the door.
"Where did you go?" she said to him, staring into his eyes.
"To do my job" he replied bluntly, before entering her quarters
without waiting for invitation. He walked over to her fridge and
pulled out two beers, taking the lids of both and throwing himself
on her sofa.
"You do know i'm pregnant don't you?" asked Jenny.
"Really? I would never have guessed"
"Oh?" she said, gesturing to the two bottles he was holding.
"Oh right, they're both for me" he said, "Now, why have I come
here....Oh yeah, um, when's the baby due?"
"Tomorrow"
At this moment a large amount of beer flew from Chris' mouth onto
Jenny's floor as he gaggled in disbelief.
"Repeat that please?"
"Tomorrow"
"Right...lovely seeing you, I'll be off then..." he said as she made
for the door but she grabbed his arm.
"Stay with me" she whispered to him.
"Ok, i'm going to pretend to consider your opinion here before I do
whatever I want.....hmmmm....no!" he said as he walked out of the
door.
Then there was a screm from behind him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" came Jenny's voice.
"Son of a bitch...." said Chris as he turned around and Ran back in.
Chris hit the speaker, determined not to make a pillock of himself
this time.
"Harris to the Medi-bay, I need some people down to Jenny's quarters
please, she's in labour...and Melissa, could you please get some of
that bloody ointment for me?"
"Someone'll be right there" came the reply from the medi-bay with a
horde of laughter to follow it.
Chris closed the comm link and sat on the sofa, having his hand
broken by Jenny.
"Do you want this baby to be raised in a proper family" Chris
interjected amongst Jenny's random screams.
"Of course I do, single parenting isn't exactly easy is it" said
Jenny, astonished as to the purpose of such a random question at
such a difficult time.
"Then a one time invitation" said Chris, acting normally for him
again.
"What the hell are you on about?" asked Jenny.
"Marry me?" asked Chris, holding out a ring.
