"Daughter I just wanted to see if you were safe and that child of yours was
safe too."
"My son is safe and alive." Angel said showing her father the infant boy.
Her father just looked at her then at Harper then at the infant back at
Harper than finally rested his gaze back on the infant.
"He looks just like him." Her father said pointing to Harper.
"How can you tell?" Trance asked.
"He has the ability to do that just as I have the wolf ability." Angel said
cradling her son again.
"Please come home daughter." Her father pleaded.
"No" Angel said running out.
"Angel" Harper said running after her.
"She went back to her original name captain?"
"Yes she did. Why do you want her to return home?" Dylan asked.
"Her and her son, so her son can learn the ways of his ancestors when it is
time."
"You mean something else don't you?" Tyr asked.
"What do you mean?" Her father asked.
"Yes Tyr what do you mean?" Dylan asked.
"I know about your planet. If a woman gives birth to a child who has a
parent whose origin isn't of your planet you kill the child." Tyr said.
"Is this true?" Dylan asked. Angel's father nodded with a slight smile.
"That is truly disgusting." Beka said. Trance and Rommie both agreed.
"Fine you can keep them both, but when her son starts showing some kind of
power the only one to help him is his mother. Don't come looking for me
when she can't handle it." Her father said closing the hail and exiting
into slipstream. Dylan just sighed.
"This just keeps getting better and better doesn't it." Dylan said.
Harper finally caught up to Angel. For carrying a child she sure could run fast. He entered hydrophonics a moment after Angel. "Angel?" he asked cautiously. "Yes Harper?" she asked looking up at him. "You ok?" he asked walking over to her. "Just peachy. Wanna hold him?" She asked. Harper hesitated for a moment, Angel saw him hesitate. "Sure." "I think I know what to call him." She said as she watched Harper happily hold their son. "Really? What?" Harper asked looking up. "Shay" Angel said. "Shay? I would like that very much" Harper answered looking down at his son. "I know, Harper, I know." "So," Harper started looking up, "why don't you want to return home now?" "Do you really want to know?" Angel asked him. He nodded. "I guess I kind of have to explain what my people are first, it's complicated though." "Try me." Harper said. They both smiled. "Ok, my people are bone bladed elves, each with their own power, or ability. What his will be I don't know, if he'll get one I'm not sure of that." "Bone bladed elves? You might as well say you guys are elf Nietzscheans. Will he get bone spurs?" Harper asked. "What?" Angel asked. "Will he get bone spurs?" Harper asked. "I don't know, we'll find that out when he is one." Angel said getting up. "He'll develop fast, he won't pass as a normal baby in his growth, he'll look older then he really is until he is probably one." Harper stood up too. They began walking out. Andromeda's hologram blinked in. "Are you going to tell him why your father came to bring you back again?" She asked "Oh yea, he came back to take me and Shay home so he could kill Shay and make me watch it." "WHAT?!?!" Harper asked jaw wide open. "Harper it's the way of our people, you're not of the Zodiac system origin. They want us to have pure people, not mutts or anything." "But you said that your planet started accepting outsiders." Harper said. "Yes, allowing them to trade with us and visit our planet, not to mate with the people. I'm only the second one who has mated with a non Zodiac system person, but the first to keep the child." Angel said as the entered the corridor. "Trance was right you do speak in worse tongues then Harper himself." Andromeda said. "Oh gee now I know who really loves me on this ship." Harper said with a smile. "Speaking in tongues, it's a favorite habit of mine." Angel said. "Angel when are you going to feed Shay?" Harper asked. "He doesn't need to eat until tomorrow, he is able to eat food you and I eat." Angel said has she walked away humming. "Angel what the hell are you saying?" Harper asked making stop and turn around. "I told you my people are a complicated species. Since you aren't of Pisces origin I cant expect you to take care of him for 2 months without help so I have to learn to be a human mother." Angel said leaving Harper bewildered in the corridor. "Well that went well." Andromeda said blinking in next to Harper. "Yea sure" Harper said heading to command.
