"Beka, we're going to be late." Dylan called.
"Well, then we're just going to be late. Nothing fits anymore." she complained. Dylan came into the room and scaned her closet.
"Here." he said as he pulled a couple of things out. "You'll look fine in either of these." He watched as she stared at the outfits then sighed. "You know, I'm not the best person to be askng about this. I think you look beautiful in anything you wear."
"You have to say that." she mumbled.
"Well, no. I could break your heart, but I don't feel like ruining both our lives. Ever. I'm happy with what ever you look like. As Tyr would be quick to point out, you're giving me the best gift any woman could give some one. You're loaning your body to a small person for the first nine months of it's life and then you're going to bring it into the world. I couldn't ask you for anything else."
"Honey dripper." she said a she wipped a tear from her eye.
"Better believe it." he said as he swept her into his arms and kissed her.
"Wear the blue one." he whispered. "I'll round up the tornado." he said as he left the room. Beka sighed, composed her self and slipped into the blue one, swept her hair up in a loose twist on the top of her head and touched up her make up. She slip in to Cassie's room and braided her hair then ran a
scanner over her.
"The nano bots are high enough to track her now."
"Oh good."
"My arm still hurts." she said with a glare. She hadn't been pleased when they had injected her.
"Hey, this way we can keep track of you, just about anywhere. The pain was well worth it." Dylan said. "Come on, we still have a chance at getting there on time." he said. As they walked to the observation deck, well, Cassie skipped ahead of them, Dylan reached behind Beka and lightly pressed
his hand to the small of her back.
"Thank you." she said quietly.
"See, I am getting good at this fatherhood thing." he said with a smile.
"Ah, don't get too pleased with yourself." she whispered in return as they entered the room. The crew of the Andromeda smiled as Cassie came to an abrupt halt in front of a royal gaurd that towered over her and turned tail and ran straight behind Dylan. He bent down and swung her up on to his hip.
"King Midean, welcome to the Andromeda Ascendant." he said.
"Captain Hunt, my family and gaurd are honoured to be here." he said with a smile. "You're little one is quite the runner."
"That she is. She keeps all of us busy." he said with a smile.
"And your wife. It's a good thing we're both married or I would make it my mission for the night to steal her away from you." Beka just smiled at his compliment and let him take her hand. "Take care of your second. They know, even before they see the world, if they are loved or not."
"I place their lives above mine already." Dylan said. Beka didn't say anything but remembered what he had said and had begun to let it run around her mind, where it would stay, for the rest of the evening.
"Beka, we're going to be late." Dylan called.
