"His name is Barry Allen," she replied. "He was one of the first friends I made when I got here. Actually I think he's been here almost from the beginning of the project. He helped me build my shelter and we became friends." Christine smiled at the memory. "I wasn't planning on having a baby right away, I wasn't even sure I wanted to at all but then I realized I wanted to something more to contribute than what I was doing in the Medical Center so I talked to Barry and he said yes and now' we're having a baby." It was actually a good deal more complicated that that but she'd get to that in a bit.
"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl. There's actually an ultrasound machine here so that we can check to make sure everything's okay but we wanted to be surprised." It was old fashioned but Christine loved it, the whole mystery of not knowing until the baby was bron. "There's actually a little more to the story......" she paused and then went on. "You remember that I told you I was seeing someone at home but I would never say who? That's because it was Pike. We got involved when I was working with him after the Narada. We were together for four years and then I found out I was pregnant. I was on my way to tell him when Khan attacked and he was killed." It still hurt to talk about it but she took a breath and continued. "that's why I didn't go when the ship went after him. I lost the baby, Nyota. A few weeks after all that. Then Arva came to me and that's when I came here. I needed to know that I could carry a child, I was so scared but so far everything's been fine."
