EPILOGUE

The crew of the Enterprise enjoyed their unscheduled R&R at Clairmont Academy. Bevy and Wesley placed 2nd place at the dance competition, which was impressive considering it was their first year competing at the professional level. Before departing, Beverly and Jean-Luc decided that the best way to get to know their daughter and help both Bevy and Wesley with their jealousy issues would be to have daily sub-space communication.

Shortly after departing from Clairmont Academy, both the Captain and Dr. Crusher arranged to have 150 days of shore leave beginning the day of the graduation. During the four months between the incident at Clairmont Academy and the graduation, Beverly and Jean-Luc developed their relationship, giving the ship plenty to gossip about.

The Enterprise returned to Clairmont Academy in June to attend the graduation of the class of 2370, which included Wesley, Elise, and Gabrielle. The Enterprise departed without its captain and CMO the day after the graduation. Beverly and Jean-Luc settled in a house conveniently located on the outskirts of the main campus. It was a large 4 bedroom house which they purchased with Elise and Gabrielle's parents so that they could all live together. Everyone shared a bedroom: Wesley and Elise, Bevy and Gabrielle, Jean-Luc and Beverly. The fourth bedroom was prepared as a nursery for the baby. Dr. Crusher became Elise's new doctor at the request of her parents and was granted full access to a clinic at a nearby town. On November 1, 2370, Elise gave birth to a healthy baby boy which they named Robert Gene Crusher.
