Tonya invited Lara over to her quarters for a sleep over. Lara was the daughter of Tonya from another reality. Tonya had been trying to accept she has a "daughter" she personally never gave birth. In fact, Tonya has never ever been pregnant.

Lara was now nine years old. She was ecstatic at times this reality had a version of her mother. Part of Lara saw Tonya as her mother but she also saw her as another person. Her father is dating Tonya right now, so potentially in the realm of possibilities, Tonya could become her mother.

The two of them we're squattingin Tonya's bed in matching flannel red pajamas. This was Lara's idea. Tonya looking at Lara saying with a smile as she gave Lara a petticure. "Lara. Kiddo. You know your relationship with Mira. It is an Aunt - Niece relationship. I have a feeling our relationship is kind of like that. To respect to your mother, I am not her exactly but genetically I am. So in a way she is my twin sister."

"I understand," Lara says watching Tonya. "Part of you is or is it are my mother. Kind of how Thomas Riker is towards Will Riker's children. Thomas is not their father. Will is."

Tonya cocked her head a bit. "Both of our realities have the same duo but not sure how many Admiral Riker children are there or what is the fate of Thomas Riker. I am not into knowing everything about people. But I am glad you see my point. So you are going to think of me as your Mom or Aunt?"

Lara giggled. "Both because you are both by your own definition. But if it will make you feel better, Aunt or until our relationship evolves to whatever it will be. You might be my stepmother one day."

"Possible," Tonya says smiling, "Your father is a wonderful man and he does love me very much. I can see myself married to him but our love has not evolved to that point yet. I am sure you know about the birds and the bees."

"I do," Lara says blusing. "Please let's not talk about it. I feel embarass when my father talked to me about it."

"Of course not. Sorry," Tonya says as she fineshes the petticure. "Now time to paint them."

"Aunt Tonya," Lara asks, "Are you going to want to have more children?"

"More?" Tonya's eyebrow went up. "I technically do not have any. If I want children of my own, yes, at least one. Every woman should experience the joy of childbirth. I watched the videos you let me watched you had on your IPADD. I six already, including when she gave birth to you and the wedding. She was a very lovely woman. Her personality was similar to mine years ago but she did not have the confidence I have. Something happen to her to cause her to suffer from vertigo. I do not suffer from vertigo. I have sky jumped several times, hang glided, wind surfed, bungee jumped, gone spelunking, scuba diving and space walked. When you get older, I might introduce you to some."

"I would like that very much," Lara says hugging Tonya. "I love you Aunt Tonya."

"I love you too kiddo," Tonya hugged back tighter.
