Swindle
She seemed a little nervous about going home. She wanted to go, but she also wanted to stay. Once her mother's procedure was done, it was time for us to go.
"Three more days, Andromeda. Just think of it" I told her.
"Yeah, it's gonna be awesome".
A thought came to me. What about us having…sparklings? I knew it was far too soon to be worrying about that, but I wanted to know how Andromeda felt about it.
"What do you think of us maybe having sparklings once we're married, Andromeda?".
"I don't know, I never really thought of that. I've been so worried about going home, it's not even funny".
"What's worrying you?" I asked.
"How much it's probably changed now. It's only gonna change more when you step in".
"Don't worry about it, Andromeda, we'll make it".
Andromeda smiled. "Sure we will. We'll make a living on your peddling, Mr. Peddler".
"Hey, once you're married to me, who's that make you?".
It was an obvious question and I couldn't resist answering it for her: "Mrs. Peddler".
She punched my arm. "You're such a brat, Swindle".
"Yeah, but I'm your brat, my dear, so….you're stuck with me".
"Shut up and kiss me, you big brat".
You know that feeling you get when you know you're being watched? Yeah, I was having that feeling right there, and for good reason: Lockdown was watching us very carefully. I knew he didn't approve of me getting with his daughter, but…he'd just have to get over it. I loved Andromeda, and there was nothing that could be said or done to change that. So, just to tick him off, I did as she asked. Yeah, only then did the feeling of being watched go away.
I knew that this happy ending was gonna be hard to come by at the beginning, but now he was just being flat out ridiculous. But, I didn't know what to do about it.
"Let him mingle. He'll have to get over it eventually. It's just an over protective dad thing. If you ever have a daughter, Swindle, you're gonna feel it too" a voice in my processor assured me, "It's the whole Daddy's Little Girl thing".
But Andromeda wasn't a little sparkling anymore. She was my girl, my future spark mate, and all mine…And we couldn't see it any better way.
A/N: So, how was that? Yeah, I'm awake now since it's 11 in the morning now. See ya next chapter.
