Professor Lara Barclay de Tolly had just dropped off her granddaughter Lara with Captain Mira King. After she had done so she decided to go for a nice walk. She might of been five feet two but she knew how to take care of herself. Now by some Quantum Miracle, she was a mother with two grown children named Victor and Nichelle plus she had a granddaughter named of herself.

Lara was glancing in a jewelry store window. She knew the real gems than ones manufactured by a spaceship. She sighed knowing those kinds were not the real ones. She heard a voice behind her, "Professor Lara Barclay de Tolly."

She turns around because she was expecting this person soon and she sees him with a young lady. "Pyotr Zhukov. I heard you were going to show up today. Judging by this young lady's looks, I bet you are Nichelle."

"That I am Mom," Nichelle says giving her a hug. "Can I call you Mom?"

"Of course you can," Lara says looking in Nichelle's eyes. "You have my father's eyes."

Nichelle blushed a bit. "Thank you and you have told me that many times but I never get tired of hearing it."

"And you Pyotr," Lara says wth her arms folded. "You have some explaining. First, I had no idea you had a crush on me and second, how on Earth did you seduce me in that other Reality."

"Well on the crush thing," Pyotr says grinning, "You were the most beautiful woman I ever saw and the way you wore your dresses, one could not just sit and not admire your figure and breasts."

Lara blushes a bit and pokes him. "Not in front of our daughter. Now how did you seduce my younger self?"

"I have no idea," Pyotr shrugs a bit. "The first trip when I went back in time, that one seduced you. That mission failed, so the Department of Temporal Investigations sent myself from the altered time line and another guy back to the moment I arrived in the past. They told me to stay put. They stopped the bad guy before he changed the timeline and ...."

Lara stopped him right there. "I can figured out the rest. So not to be blunt, you are about forty now and I am in my fifties. Would you date an older woman?"

Pyotr was speechless. Finally he spoke. "Only if that older woman was you and for the record, I am thirty-nine and I am at my peak."

"You two need to get a room," Nichelle says looking at them both. "Mom, the reality version of Mom told me how he seduced you. He caught you on a day you were very vulnerable. You too had a nice weekend and then he split. Some how the authorities contacted you when his version dead body was found and there were clues where you two went. He gave him his wrong name. Few months go by and you find out you are pregnant. Starfleet assigns you from the Academy to Starfleet. Rest you can figure out." Nichelle glanced at her chronometer. "Mom and Dad, I have a meeting I must attend. Well if you call it a meeting. Several of the crew are playing in a volleyball game and I promised."

"Have fun," Professor Lara says to her daughter. "See you at the family supper."

"Look forward to it," Nichelle says winking at them both. She really felt her parents needed to bond more and she was like a third wheel.

After she left, Professor Lara says looking at Pyotr. "Now Pyotr, what is your definition of dating?"

"Holding hands, going for a walk, finding a place to sit and talk, stealing a kiss or two, nice meal, maybe dancing, another walk, walk to your room, maybe a nite cap," Pyotr says offering his hand."

Professor Lara takes his hand as the two went for a nice walk. "I like this but what do you mean by a nitecap."

"Whatever the lady desires," Pyotr says in his suave voice.

As they walked, Lara looks up at his manly physicque. "Never thought of you as a big softie. Weren't you the student that blacksmithed and he had his own forge."

"That is correct," Pyotr replied. "In my Quarters, I have a massive collection of blades I have made by hand."

"Oh don't tease me like that," Lara responded by placing her hand that was free over her heart."My father and both grandfathers had many blades. Something about blades that is so macho. You know my family history. My ancestor defeated Napoleon in Russia."

"Yes and are a descendant of one of his daughters and during World War III, an ancestor of yours takes back on the Barclay de Tolly name due to he made many enemies during the war."

"This is true," Professor Lara says proudly. "Do me a favor. Let's not tell the kids I am going to your Quarters. I know they have their hopes up but I still want to do everything on my own terms."

"Agreed," Pyotr says kissing her cheek as they walked hoping the best was yet to come.
