Amu slowly opened her eyes, she gelt groggy and tired. 'Was I asleep? Where am I? Why am I so tired?' she asked herself as she slowly began to wake. The unborn baby inside her kicked hard, the sudden holy against her belly woke her up. It was then she realised she was restrained, on some strange type of bed set at a forty five degree angle.

"What the..." she began to look around. This wasn't the Tokyo. Then it all came back, she had been in the Flight Deck sickbay. Then she had woken up here. There was only one explanation, the Elachi must have somehow beamed her into their 'nursery'.

To her left she saw another bed also set at forty five degrees. On it was Counsellor Johnson. Amu then realised that they had been separated from the others, probably because they were pregnant already. "Counsellor!" She called out. "Talia!"

In response came a wretching sound to Amu's right, followed by the sound of something splashing onto the floor, likely due to the 45 degree angle.

That caught Amus attention. There was Beurling. "Beurling? Are you awake?" She called out.

There was a coughing sound in Liz's tone.

"Awake? Yes. Covered in vomit? Also yes. Restrained at a nauseating angle?" Liz made an awful sound as if she was holding back more vomit. "Also yes..."

"Remind me to sort that out once we're back on the Tokyo..." Amu said with a nervous smile. "Any ideas where we are?"

"No idea;" Liz responded. "The angle's got my head spinning and I've been feeling too crappy to case our surroundings..."

At that moment a door opened opposite them and two tall aliens strides in. They were clearly Elachi, although didn't look like soldiers, their clothing was different and they looked more like scientists. They carried strange equipment.

The one in the middle led them over towards Talia. It held out a strange device and hovered it over the counsellors rounded out stomach as if scanning the baby inside. Their comm badges didn't take long to lock onto their language, instantly translating their words.

"This one has mixed offspring. Betazoid and Human confirmed. Unsuitable for experimentation." The Elachi said. The other two seemed to record this down on their equipment.

Mixed offspring? Liz thought.

The group of Elachi then moved over to Amu.

A cold sweat ran down Amu's neck as they began to scan her stomach. "Human. This females off spring is Human. The off spring is Male. This one is ideal for experimentation." The Elachi said.

"I didn't know I was having a boy!" Amu said out loud. "It was supposed to be a surprise you bastards!"

"Note the female Human may be hostile. Most likely protective. Mark this one." The Elachi said in response to Amu's outburst. The Elachi to the left simply reached out and grabbed Amu's uniform and with a strong tug ripped the fabric away. It then attached something that resembled a tag to her now bare stomach.

Amu simply sobbed, the Elachi had ruined the surprise she had been looking forward to for months. She couldn't act now as if it's a surprise when/if she gives birth now.

The group of Elachi then moved over to Liz. "Another mixed offspring." The middle one said as it scanned her stomach. Once the others had finished with their 'note taking' they turned and left the room leaving the three women alone once again.

Liz felt guilty at the sound of the sobbing doctor. If the Elachi knew the Amu was having a boy, then they very well knew...

"You know, doc;" Liz said in a sympathetic tone. "If it makes you feel any better... I'm having a boy too..." She made a sad sound. "I was going to have a gender reveal party and everything..."

Amu sniffled. "Maybe we can do one together, if we ever get out of here..." she said in a sad low tone. "What do you think this tag thing is that they put on me?"

"I don't know." Liz responded. "Kinda hard to get a clear view:"

Talia opened her eyes to hear the voices of Amu and Liz. “How did I?” She shook off the foggy head she had trying to remember how she got to this room. “What did I miss?”

"Well, we're in the Elachi nursery and they seem very interested in our babies." Amu explained. "I don't know why."

Talia was immediately alarmed by the fact that the Elachi were interested in their babies. “Ohh Hell no! We have to find away to get out of these restraints! They’re not touching my baby!”

"They seem more interested in mine than yours or Liz's. They said something about 'mixed offspring'," Amu replied. "But we really need to get out of here..." she looked back over towards Liz.

"Can you break free? Vulcans are usually stronger than others." Amu asked.

"Ergh..." Liz strained against the restraints. "Nope; they must have accounted for that and tightened them accordingly."

"Damn..." Amu muttered.

Talia was moving trying to test out her restraints for any weaknesses. “Amu, You said they were interested in our babies? What exactly did they say?”

"They said..." she swallowed. "Experimentation..." Amu finally said. "I don't know what they want to do. But it can't be good."

“No, it can’t” Talia looked around as she continued to struggle against her restraints. “I can’t...get loose...but we can’t just stay here.”

The doors of the room opened again and a single Elachi walked in. It approached Amu and held out a hand. Slowly it began to run it over Amu's bump. Amu shivered, the strange feeling of the Elachi touching her belly made her feel sick.

It seemed satisfied once the baby kicked against it's hand. Then it tapped a device on its wrist. There was a clunking sound as Amu's 'bed' began to slowly descend through the floor along with the Elachi.

"Get away! Where are you taking me?!" Amu asked frantically. After only a few seconds the bed had disappeared and the floor closed up leaving Liz and Talia alone.

"Holy shit:" Liz muttered, once again beginning to try at her restraints.
