AUTHOR'S NOTES: at first I thought I'd just make this another one from the Drabble Series, but then I decided that Harm's wife's temper is just right for Loren.
SUMMARY: the Vette has got to go.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Harm was looking thoughtfully at the 'Vette.
"What's wrong, Harm?" asked his wife.
Harm'd been in the garage for a while now and she was curious what was keeping him.
"This. The Vette."
"What wrong with her?" she'd taken over some of his habits, among them the one of assigning the Vette a gender, female gender.
"She's not safe enough."
"What does that mean?"
"We're getting rid of her."
"What!? Why!?" he loved the Vette, which was just normal since he had spent so much time and money on her.
Harm explained patiently. "Sweetheart, you mean everything in the world to me and losing you would destroy me. And now with the blind passenger on board, the Vette has become just too dangerous to keep."
She snorted. Leave it to Harm to refer to everything with Navy terms, even to call their child a "blind passenger". Well, okay, she was Navy too and she sometimes called their baby that name. They'd decided they didn't want to know the gender so they were still calling it "the baby".
"But you love the Vette!" truth was, she loved the Vette too and didn't want to see it go.
"But I love you more and now with you hauling the precious cargo..."
"Oh, so that's what it's about! Let me tell you something, Rabb, I'm pregnant and not an invalid!" she turned and stalked off, throwing over her shoulder. "If you're so obssessed with safety, why don't you just get an APC!?"
Harm's head snapped up and a light came to life in his eyes.
Later, upon much reflection, Loren decided she shouldn't have said that.
THE END
