A Med Force Wedding

[Doc Holliday]

//This is an MFE RP. If someone wants to join in, ASK for an invite. NO FIGHTING!!

There is an old rule somewhere that talks about not dating co-workers. When an organization spends most of existence in space and turnover within the organization is at worst, light, it's a common thing at Med Force Enterprises. Dating, marriages and families are nothing new.
There is also an old rule about medical staff not getting involved with patients. When it happens to the founder of Med Force Enterprises, the rules were changed. While most still don't, it has also become a reality but in very small amounts.

John Holliday spent the last many years as a widower. He managed the day-to-day operations of the enterprise while he had trusted members running departments and bases. By doing so, he was able to raise his remaining two children by his former wife, Midori, Aiko and Henry. He had a third, his eldest daughter Emiko. They hadn't spoken in years when she joined the Chrysanthemums. It was a subject he never spoke of and chose not to.
Aiko and Henry were a joy and had given their blessing to him when he mentioned his engagement. They would soon have a mother figure.

The relationship had begun some 3 years earlier, probably slightly more than. Isabella was a patient. Battered, bloodied, bludgeoned and near death when she arrived at his Baffin facility. A brutal ex-husband and an assault upon her ship left her that way. Had he not been at the facility doing some unplanned work that particular day, she would have been treated and released back to her lifestyle. Who knows what would have happened to her. Somehow though, fate put him there and he saw her through the worst of her injuries but that was a beginning.

As she healed and her confidence buried a shaded past, she worked hard on herself. She healed her body and through physical therapy. She healed her mind, taking that past and turning it into a reason to help others who suffered with mental illness. As she healed, she grew. She was young but John Holliday took notice. Quietly, so did she of him.

He still suffered from the loss of Midori. It plagued him at times. He was still angry with the Bretonian Crown for genocide on Gran Canaria. She learned to soothe his anger, comforting him when he needed it most. He found himself her patient as much as she was his. Together, they healed. Healing turned to friendship. Long walks on a base or a Med Force clinic vessel and at his Erie retreat. After she had become head of mental health, daily board meetings would turn into a lunch meeting or an evening meal. Eventually, he broke his own rules. He had fallen in love with both a patient and a co-worker and he couldn't stop himself.

She was young but mature for her age, smart and beautiful. Half Cretan and half Kusarian, she had a nice mix. It was never a secret that he had a thing for Kusari women and she was no exception. He doesn't remember where they first kissed but it caught them both off guard. Even in love, they knew how to separate their work from relationship. He was, after all, still her boss and he expected much from her professionally as a department head. The only thing he couldn't teach is diplomacy. That is something that is learned.

One kiss turned into another. One date turned to many. Even in their travels, they arranged to meet in space somewhere at a Freeport or wherever. Of course, those kisses finally led to consummating their relationship. Finally, one day, on a Baden Baden beach, he popped the question and she accepted.

It had been 8 months since then and the wedding was planned on Med Force One where the entire Med Force family would gather. Jill Xi would be Isabella's maid of honor while John's son would stand in for him. This is where there life as John and Isabella Holliday would begin.
