Talia Kaji: Difference between revisions

Their relationship was strong from the beginning.  Talia's enthusiasm and Kyo's stoic strength complemented each other well.  He was a very simple and honest man, so her telepathy didn't bother him very much, and he adjusted rather quickly.  Talia's greatest struggle was the difference in their species, particularly their different life-spans.As Kyo and Talia's relationship grew more serious, they began to discuss a more permanent commitment.  Kyo was interested in the Rodulan bond-pairing.  Though he couldn't sense Talia's thoughts, they believed the commitment of sharing and creating a  thought, a dream, was the most intense vow they could imagine.

Before their move, Talia found out she was pregnant.  It wasn't planned, but she and Kyo were thrilled.  Rodulans very much discourage unplanned pregnancies, and the Kaji Family tried to force Talia to return home so her older family could raise the child.  Kaji and Maeda decided to leave Rodul to make a new life on their own.  Talia  joined Starfleet to give her the freedom she desired, and Kyo requested a transfer to a new ship. The process took about a year, and meanwhile, they welcomed a newborn Benjiro Maeda Kaji into their family.

Benjiro Maeda Kaji was born on Stardate 238706.11.

As Maeda was in Starfleet already, they were able to get him stationed at the Starfleet Academy afilliated campus on Aldebaran, where Kaji took her courses. Ensign Maeda was promoted to LtJg and transferred to the Duranis II Embassy about a six months before she graduated.  Kaji kept Ben with her, and Maeda went ahead to the Embassy.
