"Can we go and play in the . . . the . . ." Cassie tried to remember the word she was looking for. "The big bath tub?"
"Big bath tub?" Dylan asked as they played with her blocks, Beka was still asleep, her new favorite pass time.
"You know, the one on the planet with all the fishes."
"Oh, the ocean."
"Yeah. Can we?" she asked as she looked up at him.
"I dunno, I think so." he said as we watched her knock down her tower and start again. "We'll have to wait and see."
"Wait and see what?"
"Well, what every one else wants to do."
"Oh." she thought about things for a moment. "I need to go and see Trance and Harper. Right now." she said as she jumped up.
"About what?" he asked.
"Stuff. Can I?"
"Yeah, okay." he said as she ran out to find them, still in her pyjamas.
"Rommie," he called out, "look out for her."
"Always Dylan." was his reply. He just chuckled as he got up, stretched and then walked back to the bed room and slid into bed.
"Hey." Beka said.
"You're up." he said as he got comfortable.
"Oh yeah. Where was she off too?"
"To convince Trance and Harper they want to go play in the ocean with her."
Beka laughed.
"Like that will be hard. Harper's been on about surfing here and Trance wants to study some of the sea life."
"Well, I guess we're hanging out on the beach today." Dylan said.
"I hope she doesn't expect me to get in the water and further then my knees." Beka said absently.
"I'll give you a good push."
"You wouldn't! Would you?"
"No. It sounded like a good idea though." he said. She could feel his smile against her neck.
"Damn."
"What?!" he said as he sat up. "What's wrong?"
"I just got comfortable and I have to pee. Again." she said with a sigh. "I hate you." she mumbled as she pulled herself out of bed. He just sighed as she left the room.
"It's fine that you almost gave me a coronary. Feel free to do it again." he mumbled.
"Okay, I will." she said as she got back into bed.
"Do I get a warning?"
"No, I think I'll try and make in in the middle of the night."
"I hate you and you suck." he said, using her new favorite things to say to him. She just laughed as wrapped her arms around his waist again.

"THEY SAID YES!" Cassie cried as she came barrelling back into their quarters. Dylan and Beka jumped awake and prepared for the hurricane of energy that was about to jump on them. "Trance and Harper said they'd come and play with me in the water! Can we go now? Please?" she begged as she jumped on the bed and sat on Dylan.
"What about Tyr, Rev and Rommie?" he asked. Cassie went quiet for a moment.
"Oh yeah! Rev said he was gonna stay here an' medicate an' Tyr wanted to do some scaring and I don't know what Rommie wants to do." she said.
"Medicate and scaring?" Dylan asked.
"Meditate and sparing." Beka translated.
"Oh. That's good stuff to do." he said with a nod of the head. "Well Miss Cassidie Hunt, I think we may be able to go today."
"YEA!" she yelled out.
"Guess what we have for you." Beka said.
"What?"
"A middle name."
"Oh boy!"
"Yep, you are now Cassidie Morgan." Dylan said.
"Am I gonna be a Valentine again when we leave the planet?" she asked.
"Well, only for a while."
"Why?" she asked as the two proceeded to share their news with her. "What's married?" she asked and with a smile and sigh, the two tried to explain marriage to a five year old. Fortunately, it went over better then the "how did the baby get there?" conversation.
