Oenone- this is all for you. I was going to be too lazy and update in a week or so but seeing as I have caught a damn cold and u were so…enthusiastic, I update now!

Chapter 9

"Yeah, ok, there are people with the exact same ship as us, their captain is named Gaheris and looks just like Rhade who want to come aboard. And we are letting them why?" Harper asked as he reached command and Dylan filled him in. "And am I the only one who finds this freaking creepy?"

"No. Andromeda, tell Beka and Rhade to meet us at Hanger deck 12."

Andromeda closed her eyes.

"Rhade…" Andromeda's hologram popped up in Rhade's quarters. "Beka?!"

Both Beka and Rhade's eyes shot open. Beka went red and Rhade just sighed and closed his eyes. Beka was laying with her head on Rhade's chest and were obviously naked. You didn't have to an AI to figure out what had happened.

"Dylan wants you to meet him at hanger deck12. And I assume he wants you both to be fully clothed." Andromeda said, raising and eyebrow and blinked out.

Dylan watched as Andromeda raised her eyebrow before she opened her eyes and said "Beka and Rhade will meet you there."

Beka and Rhade arrived a few seconds after Dylan and Harper.

"Dylan." Beka acknowledged the captain.

"Beka."

"Dylan." Rhade nodded.

"Rhade."

"Harper!" Harper yelled.

"Dylan, three slipfighters have docked and six people have departed." Andromeda informed them.

"Ok, let them in."

Beka, Dylan, Harper, and Rhade stood in awe. So did the six strangers. Dylan couldn't stop staring at the two blondes. One of them, the girl, looked a lot like him, but also not. And the boy looked almost identical to the girl.

Harper couldn't stop staring at the gold girl and at the alien girl. It was so…weird.

Rhade and Beka's eyes were glued to the two Nietzscheans. They looked so much like them…

"I am Gaheris Rhade II, out of Rebecca by Telemachus," Beka's eyes bugged out as Rhade looked at his son in a mixture of disbelief and pride. "And this is my sister Oenone." Beka glanced at her and did a double take, realizing they were wearing the same clothes.

"And I am the Captain of Andromeda. This is my first officer, Alexander Hunt. My Engineer, Shalimar Hunt. Unfortunatly, she has been injured in a battle against the Magog. Broken ribs, nothing serious but our medical equipment was damaged and we would appreciate it if we could have Trance help her."

Dylan just stood there with his mouth hanging open.

"Oenone is my pilot. This is Joy Gemini, my medical officer." Gaheris continued, ignoring the silence. "And last Maria Toshiba, life support and sensors. It is wonderful to see you all again."

"I…have…have we met?" Dylan asked.

Gaheris smiled. "Yes we have."

"Who are you?" Harper asked.

"We jut told you that." The one called Maria said. Harper got the idea that it was taking a lot of self control for her not to come running and hug him, though he didn't know why.

Oenone apparently couldn't take it anymore. "Look, we just went back in time about twenty years to warn our parents about Magog attacks and dammed Peaches!"

They all raised their eyebrows. "Peaches? What are we going to die in a food fight or something?"

Everyone's attention shifted as Trance came running into the room. "JOY!" She shrieked and hugged her daughter.

"Mother it is so good to see you."

"So, so you are my crew's children." Dylan said.

"Yes." Joy answered.

"Ok, then."

So, so Oenone and Gaheris are…mine and R..Rhade's." Beka started. "And Joy is Trance's, Shal and Al are Dylan's and Maria…"

"Harper's adopted daughter." Oenone put in.

"So, Rhade and I have kids?" Beka asked, appalled.

"Yeah. Mom…Dad….we thought we would never see you again." Oenone said, tears in her eyes.

Trance looked over and Joy, horrified. "Beka and Rhade didn't survive?" She asked.

Joy looked down. "No."

"Who did?"

"No one. But us."

"So this is why you are here." Trance said more to herself.

"Yes."

"Well I am sure you can imagine how happy I am to be back here but if you don't mind, Shalimar needs to get to medical." Alex said.

Dylan nodded.

Joy and Trance led the party to med-deck.

"Mother, would it mess up the future terribly if we were to spend some time with our parents?" Joy asked

Trance frowned, thinking. "Well, I believe you have two days until you must leave, I suggest you make the most of that time."

A/N really suck-y I know.
