Lost in Space
Paradise Gain
It's been three years since the Jupiter Two finally arrived at Alpha Centauri. Even though it's been very difficult for everyone involved to finally settled down on the planet. After being greeted by those settlers arriving earlier to meet up with the Robinson's family.
When the Jupiter Two were able to find there way back. They had to go through a two week briefing to go over every detail of there mission.
Including for the fact that Dr. Smith had to be placed into prison for his actions of trying to destroy the entire journey, and for where he died six months later from an massive heart attack.
There was no remorse from any of the Robinson's family, including Will Robinson and the robot.
And the only good thing that had come out of the journey after six years of being lost in space. Was the fact that Judy Robinson finally was able to admit her feelings for Major Don West. After she tried for years to steer clear of him and his over all actions towards her.
Even her own mother and father had tried to get her to change her feelings for the pilot. She was young at that time, until things started to change over the years.
Judy Robinson was becoming more and more mature with each year that had gone by.
And in a few weeks will be her 29th birthday. There was a possible chance that her parents, Penny and Will would be planning a surprise birthday party.
But then again her husband Don wanted to spend a nice quiet evening together at there apartment complex several miles away from the main Alpha Centauri Space Port.
Ever since the Jupiter Two had arrived. The colony has been thriving with more and more settlers from Planet Earth, and other planets from different solar systems.
Meanwhile at the apartment complex
Judy was walking back and forth of the kitchen having to make sure that all was in order with the dinner. She was able to stop off at the vendor shopping mall a mile away from the complex. She picked up two rib-eye steaks, bake potatoes and a salad with rye bread.
Normally the both of them wouldn't be eating this way. But it was a special occasion never the less. And she needed to tell her husband Don that they were going to be parents for the first time.
Judy was surprised for when she had gone to see the doctor a week ago to confirm the pregnancy. Even though they have been married a year. They have been trying during all that time to have a family.
One thing for sure...
Judy's sister Penny is going to be very happy that her older sister is going to have a baby. Currently Penny and Will Robinson are working for Space Central in the Communications section to greet new vessels arriving to the colony.
While John and his wife Maureen are involved with the scientists for Space Central. They are currently working on a problem in regard to the recent rise in the heat around the planet.
There seems to be a problem with the planet's rotation, while the scientists would like to use the Jupiter Two and other vessels to investigate the issue with the sun.
Anyway...
Judy having check with everything with the food. She heard the front door opened knowing that is was her husband having arrived home from Space Central. Since he's been busy working with John Robinson and the other scientists.
There was a possible chance that Major Don West just be picked as a pilot for the project. But he's not going to know for sure, for at least four days once the meeting is set to take a vote on the choices of pilots for the mission.
Walking into the apartment. Don went looking for his wife, even though knowing full well she would be in the kitchen. While making sure that dinner was ready for the special evening.
