**** This chapter is based on Season 5 Episode 7 & 8 Unification Parts 1 & 2****

A few months later as the Enterprise visits Vulcan for a little while Dezirae beams down on her own accord to visit her friend Sarek and see if he once again needed assistance meditating which is what they ended up doing the whole time she was there because he not only missed it but missed her and her surprising.... quiet.... she never rushed, she never overly worried or at least she never hounded or coddled him because she worried she just let him be the best him he could be even if it was "too Vulcan for her taste" as she would constantly tease not only that but she never lied or kept things from him once she returned to the ship Picard went to visit him and once he returned the Enterprise went in search of his son another of her very few and far between Vulcan friends since she only had 2.... a few days later Dezirae transports to a Klingon vessel with Picard and Data who once again tried to get her to stay "I made a promise Data.... I promised Sarek that I would help bring his son home safely and I will do it with our without your permission!"  she tells him he raises an eyebrow at her but says nothing and nods in reply "I'll make you a promise Data.... that I will never leave you side!.... at least while we are on the ship once we get on the planet..... if Spock needs me for any reason I will go to him!"  she tells him he nods and replies "I find that agreeable"  she smiles at him and he returns her smile with one of his own..... Dezirae stayed at Data's side and acted as though she did not understand Klingon and yet she made sure none of them came anywhere near her.... "Data.... come here"  Dezirae says softly as she stands in the opposite corner of the semi-large room they were given for sleeping quarters she reaches out for him and he tilts his head at her but takes her hand and walks over to him "I believe your standing there is making him about as uncomfortable as the "shelf".... unlike us he does not share his quarters with anyone and might not sleep easily with someone standing over him like you were.... I'm not saying he finds your presence uncomfortable and I am sure he's grateful that you looked away but...."  Dezirae tells him she pauses then asks "would you mind sitting!?"  he nods then sits down she sits sideways in his lap and places her head on his shoulders he tilts his head and reaches his hand up and combs his fingers through her hair "as you pointed out there is only one sleeping area and though I like Jean-Luc I would find it awkward sleeping next to him myself and unless you wish for me to sleep while standing"  she says softly "no.... I much prefer this way"  he replies she chuckles softly then closes her her eyes and says softly "goodnight Data"  he replies "good night Dezirae" .... Dezirae had given Picard the cloak she was wearing to use as a pillow to try and make his "bed" slightly more comfortable and though he was grateful for her attempt the shelf was like sleeping on bare concrete or stone and not comfortable at all she had laid part of her cloak down under him so that it acted like a small thin mattress which helped a little but as she said having Data stand over him like a guard made him uncomfortable and even though she was able to "remove" Data from where he stood Picard was still quite uncomfortable on the slab he was laying on and not because of the added cloak which was quite comfortable.... much to his surprise..... Picard unburied himself from the comfort of her cloak and stood up then walked over to where Data was sitting and subconsciously combing his fingers through Dezirae's hair.... he was going through files within his information banks.... and had Data go through the information with him so that he would have something else to focus on though he did smile when he saw Dezirae asleep on Data's lap though Data did have to wake her once Picard was called to the Bridge.... she did say she wouldn't leave his side and neither Data nor Picard trusted the Klingons when it came to her safety as a matter of fact her being the only women on board made them even more anxious and they did not wish to see what the Klingons would attempt to do to her.... Dezirae stood inbetween Data and Picard at all times while on the Klingon ship and they acted like a protective shield for her keeping the Klingons greedy hands and eyes away from her.... "well, Mister Data? what do you think?"  Picard asks after Dezirae helped them put on their Romulan disguises he hands Data a hand mirror and Data looks at himself astonished by what he sees "I would not have thought it possible, sir I am eager to test the success of our efforts it does remain to be seen if the Romulans will accept us Captain, you have seemed unusually pensive since we received the news of Ambassador Sarek's death"  Data replies "Sarek and I share a particular bond our lives touched in an unusual way I admit I feel the effects of his death the tenor of this mission has changed, Mister Data, at least it has for me we were sent to confront Spock about his disappearance now, I also have to tell him that his father is dead"  Picard says "I do not entirely understand, sir as a Vulcan, Ambassador Spock would simply see death as the logical result of his father's illness"  Data replies "it's never quite that simple, not even for a Vulcan certainly not for Spock who is half-human years spent in conflict and now the chance to resolve all of those differences is gone"  Picard says "considering the exceptionally long lifespan of Vulcans, it does seem odd that Sarek and Spock did not choose to resolve those differences in the time allowed"  Data replies "father and son-- both proud, both stubborn, more alike than either of them were prepared to admit a lifetime spent building emotional barriers they're very difficult to break down and now the time has come, it's too late it's a difficult moment it's a lonely one it's a moment Spock is about to face"  Picard says "Data.... do you remember what it was like when Jeremy's mother died!? (Season 3 Episode 5 The Bonding).... how it affected you...."  Dezirae asks Data nods "for Spock it would be similar to that but with the emotional weight of the Tasha you knew (Season 1 Episode 22 The Skin of Evil) just in a different way since he was family and not a lover"  Dezirae says "I believe I understand"  Data replies "death is something no one ever truly understands Data just like life"  Dezirae says with a smile Data tilts his head curiously at her.... a few minutes later they walk onto the Bridge and the Klingon Captain laughs when he sees Data and Picard "don't you two look sweet be careful, android some Romulan beauty might take a liking to you"  K'vada says as he walks over to then around Data he hisses then continues "lick that paint right off your ears"  he walks over to Desiree and asks "what of you my beauty!?! where's your Romulan look!?!"  she replies as she knees him in the groin.... hard.... and he bends forward from the impact "right here!"  she leans down and slithers into his ear "that wasn't very Klingon of you calling me a "beauty" with a coo in your tone.... and I'm pretty sure I could grant their attention without having to look like them.... after all just look at the way you and your crew have acted since I came aboard.... I don't know about you "Captain" but I'd say you've become soft and I know for certain that Spock would never let HIS father down as you have yours!"  he growls then walks over to Picard and asks "you! do you know what the Romulans will do to you if they discover who you are?"  Picard replies "I have a good idea we're ready to transport down to the surface"  K'vada says as Dezirae takes ahold of Data's hand "just so we understand each other, my orders don't include rescue missions!"  Dezirae replies "why would we want to be "rescued" by a Klingon as soft as you!?!.... if we DO need as rescue we'll be sure to contact someone else.... someone harder and more "manly" then you could ever be!"  K'vada hisses a growl then he leads them to the transporter room where Picard, Data and Dezirae were beamed off the ship K'vada was disappointed he wished she had remained aboard he found out from his crew that they tried to keep her aboard but were somehow unsuccessful which made him mad and yet curious as to how it was possible....
