"How are you feeling Angel?" Rommie asked from a console.
"Better. Just anxious."
"For what?" Rommie asked.
"To," Angel fell from a contraction.
"Are you ok?" Trance asked.
"Yea its just I'm havin-" she had more they were really close together,
"contractions- lots of them"
Beka picked Angel up. For being pregnant, she was fairly light. As a matter
of fact you couldn't even tell she was pregnant.
"Come on delivery time." Beka said walking out of command being followed by
Trance, Rommie, and Harper. Dylan rolled his eyes and Andromeda appeared on
the screen sticking her tongue out at Dylan. Tyr chuckled.
"You've become such a smart ass you know that right Andromeda." Dylan said.
Andromeda didn't bother answering him.
When they got to medical; Beka placed Angel on the closet bed and began
helping Trance prep Angel for delivery. Rommie stayed up at Angel's head to
watch her vital signs.
"What can I do to help?" Harper asked.
"Talk to her, coach her." Trance answered him.
"Coach? I've never helped with a delivery before!" Harper said.
"Calm her breathing down Harper" Beka snapped.
"Geesh remind me to never help with deliveries again. Ok Angel calm down."
Harper said. Angel had a death grip on his hand that he lost blood
circulation in it and it was almost broken.
"Make them stop!!!" Angel yelled.
"Angel please calm down," Harper said.
"Ok Angel you ready?" Trance asked, she nodded, "Ok push." Angel pushed. A
screaming hour and a half-later Angel had given birth. She had passed out
from the pain. She slept for an hour. When she woke up she immediately
asked for her child.
"Here comes your healthy baby son." Beka said with a smile. She handed
Angel her son. Angel smiled at her and Harper's new life they had created.
In the hour that she slept she healed from giving birth which only
surprised Rommie and Beka. When they entered command with Angel behind
everyone, Dylan wasn't expecting them back- especially Angel.
"Well that was quick 2 and a half hour delivery. And why aren't you resting
Angel?" Dylan asked.
"Because I heal differently then you." Angel said.
"And remind me not to be a birthing coach ever again." Harper said.
"Why is that Harper?" Dylan asked. Dylan, Tyr, and Rev looked at Harper.
"I think she almost broke my hand, and she cut blood off from my hand."
Harper said still rubbing his hand.
"Sorry Harper." Angel said quietly.
"It's ok I know you were in pain."
"Dylan we're being hailed." Rommie said.
"Bring it up" Dylan said turning to face the screen.
"May I speak to the captain?" The elderly man asked.
"Which one?" Beka asked stepping forward, and trying to keep her giggles
in.
"The captain of the Andromeda."
"Ok speak." Dylan said hushing Beka.
"How many captains do you have on your ship?"
"Part of my crew or may I include visitors too?" Dylan asked.
"Excluding visitors"
"Oh in that case, just two, the second captain is my first officer." Dylan
said. "How may I help you?"
"I'm looking for my daughter, Admiral Sheall as she now goes by."
"What makes you think she's here?" Dylan asked.
"She went in search for your ship about 3 weeks ago, has she met up with
you yet?"
"And what planet may the both of you be from?" Beka asked.
"Pisces."
"Why can't you let me be father?" Angel asked stepping forward.
"You mean that is the guy who called you back seven months ago?" Harper
asked. Angel nodded.
