[ON]

The only thing signifying the exhausted Doctor of 30 minutes ago was the still rumpled uniform which Pola had pulled on when the Captain called her out of te blue. For the second night in a row she found herself hurrying towards Cyrus' quarters but this time for such a different reason to last time.

The uniform weighted on her like it hadn't before, but the weight was good. It would take some getting used to but she couldn't be any happier. This happy feeling would also take some getting used to. All she could think was there was one person in the world she wanted to share this with and right now he lay behind the door she had just skidded to a stop outside of, her hand automatically moving to press the chime.

Twice in two days? He thought as he moved up. Like before he wasn't asleep. "Come. " As the door gave way to Pola he instantly lit up. "Aren't I popular one for your late night visits." He rolled off the bed, bare chested like before. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked smiling.

Grinning, Pola placed her hands behind her back. "Grab a shirt. It's mine tonight or Ill be in direct violation of an order and then you'd have to lock me up. And it wouldn't be to have your wicked way with me either." It was very obvious Pola was very happy but she couldn't exactly tell Cyrus why just yet.

Intrigued, Cyrus could only grina nd raise an eyebrow. "Well, this is certainly a different Irish woman than last night. Give me a moment." He found his Security Sweater and pulled it over his head. "What's going on here?" He asked as he placed his last arm in the shirt sleeve. "Some kind of celebration or something?"

Grinning as she backed out the door, her hair purposely loose over her shoulders and hands still behind her back. "We'll there's all one person in the world Iwant to celebrate with right now. I figure if I'm going to keep you around I had better share the good aswell as the bad."

"I'm okay with this. Lead the way Doctor." He smiled and began following Pola out of his quarters.

Falling into step with Cyrus, Pola fidgeted with her fingers behind her back as she headed for the turbolift. "So....I got a call from the Captain about an hour ago to report to her ready room. I don't think. She was very impressed when I turned up in this uniform and half asleep. Thankfully she didn't ask why...I don't know how I'd explain the reason for lack of sleep last night."

Cyrus chuckled. "I'm sure she would understand. " The Captain was Orion afterall. "It's also almost three in the morning. I believe a little fatigue is excusable."

Freeing up one of her hands, Pola moved it across to take Cyrus' hand in her's as they entered the turbolift and she gave instruction for deck two. Moving in, she leaned up to kiss him very lightly before smiling. "I missed you."

He kissed her back, smiling all the while. "Missed you too. " They were going to her quarters from what he had gathered, but he still didn't understand why. " So why did the Captain call you in anyways?"

Given the extremely short journey, Pola tugged Cyrus' hand with a grin as the doors reopened and she lead them down the corridor. "Hum...do you really really really want to know?"

"No Lieutenant. I'm just asking for the sake of the Ferangi beside me..." He replied sarcastically, a grin growing wider. "Telll me!" He laughed quietly.

Smiling as they reached her quarters, Pola thumbed the door open before stepping inside backwards, as she tugged on Cyrus' hand and lead him into the dark. "What if I said, you can't call me Lieutenant anymore?"

He looked at her puzzled for a split second as she lead him into her quarters..." Then I guess I would be adding a Commander to that Lieutenant now wouldn't I... ma'am ?" He broke out into a wide smile and picked her up effortlessly, twirling her around slightly. Setting her down, he gave her kiss, sot and tender. "Congratulations are in order Lieutenant-Commander Pola Ni Dhuinin."

Grinning wildly as Cyrus caught on, Pola kept her arms wrapped around his neck as she placed her back on her feet and returned the kiss. As their lips separated, she rubbed her nose against his in an eskimo kiss. "Well...it could have been that I was demoted or sacked but I guess I under estimated you're intuition. The recommendation came from an old tutor in starfleet medical, a woman who was my mentor and it seems she's continued to track my career. The Captain backed it up. She said..."

Pola realised her eyes were welling up with happiness as a pure laugh left her chest and it took a moment to recover. "She said me and my team were invaluable to Galileo and it is a direct result of my leadership and medical skills and she couldn't have asked for a better CMO."

"Well, I'd hate to say it..." He couldn't stop smilling. "But I told you so. If anyone deserved the promotion it was you Lieutenant...Commander." He wrapped her up in a giant hug.

Squeezing Cyrus around his waist tightly, Pola moved up onto her tippy toes as she buried her face against his neck and another laugh escaped her lips in her giddiness. "I'd noone last time...this time all I knew is I would risk forsaking an order because I wanted to share this with you."

Forsaking an order? "I'm so proud of you Pola. You totally deserve this." He smiled and sat her down on her couch. "What would like to drink? " He made his way to the replicator. "And while your at it, what order is this?"

Pulling her legs under her, Pola rested an elbow against the back of the couch as she cupped her cheek in the palm of her hand. Her chest filled again with an emotion she'd been suppressing as she watched Cyrus move around her quarters. "If I told you, and I ended up in trouble, that would mean you'd be in trouble for aiding and abetting. Surely It's better that I don't tell you?"

"That's up to you, love. I was just asking. I'll push the issue. " He smiled wide at Pola. "You still didn't answer my question? What would you like to drink to celebrate?"

"Champagne? Can it really be anything else." Cyrus smile was infectious and she couldn't resist moving from the couch to walk up behind him. Wrapping her arms around his middle, she rested her head against his back. "You're wonderful mo mhuireann."

"You're pretty wonderful youself. " She came over as the champagne finished replicating. Giving her a glass he raised it in toast, clinking it lightly against her own. "To an extraordinary doctor and an even more beautiful woman."

Blushing at the praise, it still couldn't wipe the smile from her face as she took a sip from her drink and then leaned up to kiss Cyrus very lightly. "My order involved something about going to bed and getting plenty of sleep. Fancy bringing the bottle with us?"

Cyrus grinned ear to ear a and snatched the bottle off the replicating stand. "Is that an order Lieutenant-Commander?" He eyed the young woman in admiration.

Walking backwards, Pola loosened the collar of her jacket as she tried to hide the broad smile. "Does it need to be Mr. Kiwosk?"

"I think we can forego the orders this time Doctor." He started forward, bottle in hand, his eyes alternating between her hand to her jacket and her face, a grin splayed across his face.

Watching Cryus' eyes, Pola couldn't help but smile broader as she finally got her jacket unzipped. "Aaaaawwww...do we have to? It could be so much fun though..."

Cyrus pulled his sweater from over his head and chuckled. "You are the boss Pola. I'm not likely to say no either way." He was only two steps away.

Realising his closeness, Pola playfully took a big step backwards as she widened the distance, still watching Cyrus and his reactions. "Hum...so all of the power is in my hands?"

His blood starting to pump furiously he restrained himself from running over and placing her on the bed. "You know ma'am it's not polite to tease the Non-commisionned staff like that...it's against regulations." He kept walking forward at his easy pace. He could almost forget the throbbing of his hand.

Grinning at this, Pola started to loosen her polo shirt from her trousers as her eyes never left the man she felt so much for. "And what are you going to do about Mr. Kiwosk? Disapline me? Lock me up until I've learned the proper regulations?"

He chuckled, his eyes locked on hers. "No need to lock you up Commander...I have something else in store. " He reached her and helped her out of her polo his hand gentle as he carressed her bare shoulders.

Feeling her breath catch in her chest, Pola's body language softened at Cyrus' touch. Moving a hand, she pressed it in a gentle caress against the area of his chest above his heart. Leaning up, she stopped a a hair's breath away from his lips. "Show me.."

"With pleasure..." He bent forward, kissing her deeply, and enveloped her in his embrace.
