Well, here's chapter 2.

I would have updated sooner but, to be honest I was a little disappointed in the lack of reviews. I figured even if people don't like it I do so ill keep writing! I know their short but I'm working on it, this is my first fan fic.

Once in Sickbay Phlox got to work on the DNA test. It was a match for Commander Tucker and Jonathan Archer. Archer sighed, as if he didn't already know that.

Now came the 'fun' part...telling Trip. Jon let Malcolm take T'Lana on a tour of Enterprise (which he assumed she was humoring him, having grown up on board and all) and he walked back to his quarters and commed Engineering

"Archer to Engineering."

"Tucker here Cap'n, what'cha need"

"Trip come to my quarters we need to have a privet discussion."

"Give me a sec cap'n I'll be right there. Tucker out."

When Trip got to Archer's quarters he could tell something was off about the man. He was fidgeting. In the 10 years Trip had known Jon he could remember him fidgeting exactly two times, the first was when they had been dating for 3 years and Jon had forgotten his birthday and the second was when the man had told him that the first officer position in Enterprise was going to a Vulcan. This could not be good.

"Trip sit down we nee to talk."

"Jon, nothin' good ever started with that sentence."

"Trip, its nothing bad per say, but it is an enigma."

"Just spit it out Johnny. Stop beating around the bush."

John sighed. He truly didn't know how Trip would react. Trip had always wanted kids but This girl was from a different universe or time period or something it was a totally unpredictable situation. He supposed he should just come out with it then take Trip to meet her and let things go from there.

"Trip the commotion on the bridge earlier was a girl transporting onto the bridge. Phlox has tested her DNA and it matches her story, she's our daughter Trip. I don't know how, but it is true."

Trip thought about this for a few seconds. He knew John wasn't kidding because he looked completely serious but, he didn't know what to think.

"Where is she?"

"With Malcolm he's giving her a tour of Enterprise, mind you I think she's just humoring us because she apparently grew up here so she probably knows it better then he does.

"Well lets go find them and talk to her find out what's goin' on."

Trip never stopped amazing him. John stood up pulled Trip to him and kissed the day lights out of him

"Thank you for not blowing your lid before we have all the facts."

"I've always wanted kids even if this is unconventional."

"Well look on the bright side, I think she's an engineer!"
