Getting to Know You Again (CH4)
By Obi's Girl
"So, how old are you?" John asked Kara.
She looked up at him and shrugged, "Thirteen," Kara fidgeted, "I know, last time you saw me I was a baby, but in Sebaccans, we have this gene that allows us to mature faster than a normal person."
John frowned; he really couldn't believe he missed half of his daughter's life or that she had grown up really fast. "Don't feel back if you missed out, dad. I'm here now."
John looked at her; she was so beautiful, just like her mother. Only when he looked at her, instead of seeing Katralla, he saw Aeryn. If he hadn't met Katralla, Kara would be Aeryn's child. His thoughts returned to Scorpious. Scorpious knew Kara existed; if she was there it was possible some peacekeepers were. Of course, he was probably just paranoid he might lose his daughter again or maybe, he was hopeful he would. John really wasn't sure.
John huffed, looking down at her again, "So what are you hobbies? Dislikes? Likes? What do you chat with your girlfriends about during sleepovers?"
Kara shrugged, not really understanding the last part of his question but answered the first part. "If you mean am I bonded with someone? No, I haven't. I'm still too young." Mentally, John cheered yes. He'd kill whoever tried to ask out his little girl.
Little girl. His little girl. His baby. Well, she wasn't exactly a baby anymore, was she? He signed.
She looked at him again, continuing, "I don't have any real interests or hobbies, as you call them."
He stopped walking, facing her, "Why not? You're a kid. There has to be something you love to do?" The way he looked at her, Kara blushed. He really was different. A human, her mother called him, although she really wasn't quite sure what that meant. Or how similar humans were to Sebaccans. "Don't you like anything?" he asked.
Kara shrugged, "Mom and Tyno really don't allow me to have any fun. They expect me to act like an obedient little princess. Protocol, manners, everything." She paused, biting her lip, "I guess I've never really been able to me; to experience being a kid.... or have my biological father around."
John huffed, rolling his eyes, "That sucks." He threw up his arms, pacing around, glancing at her every once in awhile. He stopped, tapping his foot then turned back to her again. He smiled, "Well, we're going to have fun, sweetie. You can guarantee it." Before Kara could say anything, he grabbed her hand and vanished.

Aeryn bit her lip as she stood up from her bed, tapping her COM, connecting to the surface. She was expecting to hear from John but was surprised when only D`Argo answered. The Luxan didn't seem to be in a good mood and was constantly mumbling curse words. Aeryn rolled her eyes, clearing her throat, "D`Argo, where's John? Isn't he supposed to be with you?"
~~Something came up and he took off. He's still on the planet, I know he is. ~~ He drifted off.
Aeryn tapped her COMM again. Only static. She grabbed her jacket and repulsor gun, opening the door to her quarters, "D`Argo, static's interfering with the COMM systems. I'm going down to the planet in my Prowler. She listened for a reply, but all she got was static. Aeryn shrugged and left her quarters.
~~
D`Argo cursed to himself, shutting off her COMM. He wasn't sure but it sounded like Aeryn was coming down to the planet to look for John. The Luxan banged his head against the bulkhead, growling, "John's screwed!"
