Just the facts.

Two weeks later, as arranged, Alison and Longshot were back in Dr. Crusher's office in the Nexus. Alison was anxious to hear what the doctor's scans and tests had concluded. She was hoping with the technology Dr. Crusher had that the doctor would be able to tell them definitively whether or not her previous miscarriage had just been a tragic combination of stress and environment as she had always thought. Or if the situation was much worse and her DNA was not compatible with her husband's. Alison would be inconsolable if that were the case.

Now, she waited -- as patiently as possible -- as Dr. Crusher set up her medical files and gathered her information for their visit. She sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk. Longshot was beside her in the other chair and she had a tight hold on his hand. Her thumb rubbed restlessly against the back of his hand.

There had to be good news. She needed good news.

Alison was torn in two directions. On the one hand, she knew how important it was to Longshot that he get all his memories back and be 'whole' again. On the other hand, she really didn't like the idea of anyone mucking around with his brain any more. She had no reason not to trust Dr. Crusher. But, the whole idea made her nervous.

She said nothing, though. Only held tightly to her husband and let him make this decision for himself. If he asked her, she would give him her opinion. But, the choice was his.
