Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Location: Doc's Diplomatic Ship, Ambassador's.Ark, Somewhere between Omega 49 and Ontario.

Doc was sitting in a recliner in his ship's chamber, drinking a glass of Gallic Wine, dressed in his bathrobe as he watched the news on his coms while he waited for Midori to finish her shower. Initially, he was headed to Honshu to make a visit with his in-laws.
As he watched the news reports, a live broadcast came over about an assassination attempts on Alvin Katz. Stunned by the news, he sat up and listened. His instinct to yell to Midori to come and listen was suppressed by the fact that he knew she would be very worried. After all, it was Alvin who went above and beyond to find her when Doc himself to ill.

"Bastards!" John said aloud to himself as the report continued. He did feel relieved that Alvin wasn't hurt more than he was but he was still concerned enough to call the command staff of his ship.
"Nichole, this is Doc," he called, "if you haven't done so already, take a route to Honshu that includes stopping at Toronto Station in Ontario. I have an aquaintance I need to check in on."

"Will do, Sir," Nichole replied, "We'll have to double back a bit but proceeding to Honshu via Ontario. Nichole out!" Afterwards, Doc instructed his commander that unless it was an emergency, no one was to bother him for the trip. With that, he turned off his system, got up and secured his chambers.

Finished with her shower and taking a few minutes to freshen up, Midori emerged from the bathroom in a traditional Kusari evening robe tied only at the waist which was rather revealing of her body inside. Her smile was as radiant as always.

"You like?" she asked of her husband who stood in awe, his wine glass still in his hand.
"No, Dahlin, I love," he responded. He then kissed her and handed her a glass of wine.
"To good health," she toasted as she raised her glass.
"And to good fortune," he replied as he raised his own. They "klinked" glasses and drank.

Putting down their glasses, he held her in his arms, his arms around her waist as they faced each other in discussion. "So, where we going?" she asked.
"Well, since I only need com links right now for what work I do have," he explained, "I figured we'd spend some time together and make a trip to Honshu. I'm sure your folks would approve."

"Hai," she said with a quick head nod and a smile of approval. She then laid the side of her head on his chest to which he just held her tightly to him. They just cherished the moment before they continued chatting.

"On our way," he continued as she looked back into his face, "we're making a stop at Toronto Station. I believe you wanted to thank someone personally for finding you in Stuttgart."
"Alvin?" she asked only to have Doc smile and nod.
"That will be nice," she said.

He then placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face to his but now, his face was one of sincerity.
"Mrs. Holliday," he began, "we just finished a very trying time, a time where you stuck with me and nursed me back to health."
"It my job," she interrupted, "I your wife and very proud I am to be."
He put his finger over her lips to shush her, "I told you I went through with it for you."
His hand were at her waist again only this time, one undid the belt of her robe and both hands began to caress the body within.
"You asked me for someting, Dahlin'," he continued, "maybe it's time we began trying."
A tear fell down her face, knowing what he was acknowledging. She smiled her approval.
Nothing more was said as each disrobed the other and dimmed the lights. They wouldn't be seen or heard of until arrival at Toronto Station.
