Thank you to everyone for your kind words, your support and your willingness to help with the girls. This is a hard time for all of us but I am so grateful for all of you.
[Discovery Crew]
I know Chris wasn't the captain that you remember but he felt that you were all part of his crew. As I told Michael he was working on a history of Starfleet and hopefully once we can get back into housing, I can find the manuscripts. He would want the stories to live on and I would like for the three of you to write your own stories in it, the stories of your journeys with your Captain Pike. We're all a family, no matter where or when we come from. I don't want that to change and neither would Chris. I'm so glad that I have to chance to know you.
[Jim Kirk]
You know how much you meant to Chris, you were a son to him and I know that you'll miss him. There are some things of his that he would want you to have and once I can get back into housing, I will put them together for you. Lauren has already asked me when she can see Uncle Jim, and I told her that hopefully soon. I have mentioned this to the Discovery crew and I'd like you to be part of it too. Chris was working on a history of Starfleet and I'd like you to write your own memoris in it too, memories of him and what he was like. I would be honored if you'd help me finish it because that's what he would have wanted.
Chris
I know you can't see this but we both know that Atlantis is magic and maybe by some miracle you can see it. One never knows.
First of all, I love you, I always have, I always will. I never thought I would lose you again so soon but I am so blessed that we've had this time together, that you got to know your daughter and that we had another beautiful daughter together. I know we had our moments, we didn't always agree but we got through it. We were a team and a damned good one.
Lauren is as always remarkably resilient. She misses you, she has asked me if you had to go and be an angel again and I told her that yes you did. She hugged me and said "Don't worry, Mommy, I'll take care of you and Emily. Daddy isn't gone, he's still our angel." I know she's right, you are still with us and I can feel you even as I write this. She's already telling Emily that when she's big enough, she's going to make sure that she gets to ride a Pegasus too because you taught her how and she loves it. Emily will definitely not forget you, she'll know you through the pictures we have, through the things that she hears from other people and also from her big sister. Luna misses you, she has been looking for you but she's settled down and has been sleeping cuddles with Lauren. I am busy working with the injured on Mako but that's the best thing for me.
There will not be a single day that I won't miss you. I still see you though, every time I look at the girls, especially Lauren. I stand by what I said, that one day we are going to see Admiral Lauren Chapel-Pike commanding her own Starship because there is no way she would fly a desk. I've asked the Discovery crew and Jim to help me finish your history of Starfleet. I want your memory to live on, I want those stories to be there for others to read.
I need to get to sleep but I want to close by saying that I love you. You died a hero and that's the way you would have wanted to go if you'd been able to choose it and I know that. I miss you, I would give anything to bring you back but some things aren't meant to be. You're never far away though, I know that wherever you are, you're looking down on us and your girls are going to be okay. Don't worry.
Godspeed my love.
