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.

Beverly settled down in her chair and almost frowned at how cushy and bouncy her seat was. That ... was not very comfortable. She shifted a bit. She had spent any spare time she had in the past two weeks going over the scans she had of both Alison and Longshot. Both were fascinating. Alison's more for the gene that Beverly surmised gave her those powers; Longshot's was so perfectly foreign and ordered Beverly could understand why they had said he was created. Though the brain damage she had seen on his scans did give her some worry. But right now, it was time for babies. Because both of the anxious parents on the other side of her weren't thinking of much else Bev wagered.

"I've gone over all the data I collected on your last visit, trying to determine compatibility as well as if Alison is in any danger of miscarrying again." She calmly folded her hands on top of the desk. "Longshot's DNA resembles a sort of mixture of different types of DNA I have run into. Klingon, Romulan, and so on. All of those races are compatible with human DNA, which is what Alison has by and large. I've compared and run simulations. I've come to find Longshot's DNA is as compatible to yours, Alison, as any other human's would be."

Longshot stared at the schematic of his brain. The dots that were flashing were the most troublesome to him. He had Alison beside him, but he felt so alone. It was his head that was messed up. "These ... blocks..."

He was hesitant. The doctor didn't look like someone who would steal anything from him, but he had been messed with too much. He cleared his throat and tried again.

"These blocks that you found... if I... what you said was healing naturally... would it be stopped by them?"
