"Yep, it's official add sugar and eat, you're lunch Harper." Beka said
putting sugar on the back of Harper's neck and licking it. Angel and Beka
laughed. They were on their way back from a supply run. They were sitting
in the kitchenette of the Maru. Harper had temporarily died his hair blue.
"Ha. Ha. You're the funny one now aren't you?" Harper asked wiping his neck
off. "And I can't believe you actually licked my neck."
"Harper chill out. I could have done worse." Beka said. Harper handed her a
sheet of paper.
"Oh yea?" He asked then spoke some horrible Spanish.
"Umm actually, 'baby is your snack.' Thanks for playing come again." Angel
said with a smile.
"And how is it you know this?" Harper asked.
"I picked Spanish up as a hobby growing up. It's a nice language when you
know how to use it." Angel said.
"Sorry Seamus, you are still horrible with conjugating common. Stick with
that for now." Beka said heading up to the cockpit.
"You know it figures she would tell me that." Harper said picking up the
sheet and sitting on the counter next to Angel.
"Love you Angel."
"I love you too Harper."
It had been two years since the twins were all born. Dylan and Tyr were
left to watch all of the children. The Maru was being used for a supply run
and Rommie and Trance for were using the Maria for a trip to visit Archduke
Charlemagne for diplomatic business. Rev had Shay with him the entire time.
That left Tyr and Dylan to care for three sets of twins. Both of the cargo
ships docked at the same time. Harper was ready to go do his upgrades and
Angel told him to go and do it. It was the only way to keep him quiet.
Trance went to medical to do some much needed cleaning that needed to be
done. Tyr and Dylan finally got the children asleep in Tyr and Beka's
quarters'. They went to Dylan's office to talk.
"Tyr I'm telling you Beka is just fine. She can handle Harper. She has before." Dylan said. They were sitting at his desk. "Shh, or they'll here us." Rommie whispered as her, Beka and Angel crawled through the conducts. Harper suddenly came running into Dylan's office. "Can I help you?" Dylan asked. "Didn't you tell Andromeda that you needed to see me ASAP?" Harper asked. "No. Why would I need to see you? Other then your choice for a hair color. I hope it isn't permeate Mr. Harper." Dylan asked confused. Harper shook his head no. Just then the girls fell out from the conducts. Rommie landed in Dylan's lap, Angel landed on Dylan's desk on her back and Beka landed on top of Angel. "Beka I didn't know you swung on that side of the fence." Angel said laughing. "I don't but whatever you do don't move." Beka said she let out a small giggle. It was truly funny to see the look on Tyr's face. "Uhh Rommie what is the meaning of this?" Dylan asked a blushing Rommie. Before she could answer Rev and Shay came in. Harper covered Shay's eyes. "Nothing Dylan, honest." Rommie said. "Why shouldn't we move Beka?" Angel asked. "Or the desk will-" Beka started but before she could finish the desk broke from under them and they hit the floor. "Never mind." Beka said getting up helping Angel up. "Will someone please tell me what that was all about?" Tyr asked standing up. Angel and Beka were laughing to hard to answer so that left Rommie to answer. "You two really are cruel when it comes to this." Rommie said getting off Dylan's lap. "Sorry Rommie," Angel started as she wiped tears from her eyes, "but that wasn't suppose to happen that way." The three of them started laughing. "I don't think I've seen Tyr so- bewildered before in my life since I've known him." Beka said. Harper took his hand off of Shay's eyes. "Talk." Tyr said to all three of the women. Which wasn't a good idea because they started telling the whole scheme at once. The only thing they could get out of the gibberish was the conducts and falling out. "Stop, one at a time please." Dylan said. He was still wondering what happened to his desk. If looks could have killed than Angel would have been deader then a dead duck right than. "Fine, it was my idea for us three to listen to you and Tyr, which didn't work because we fell to early. We were than suppose to fall out and into our husbands arms, and of course that didn't work neither." Angel said. "And what about my desk?" Dylan asked. "That wasn't in the plan, Dylan, we weren't suppose to land on the desk. Like I said we fell too early. And we didn't hear much out of you three either." Angel said. Dylan nodded. Angel picked Shay up; he was now three and getting heavy. "Were you a good little boy for Rev?" Angel asked. "Uh huh the best I can be for him." Shay said. Angel smiled and looked at Rev he just smiled back the best he could. "He is an amazing learner Angel, don't ever doubt you or your family of that. I suspect you were just like him when you were born." Rev said. Angel nodded smiling. It had been about a week since she had seen all of her children; it was the same for Rommie and Beka. They went to Tyr's room and watched the children sleep. It alternated boy girl. If Rommie's twins had bone spurs too then it would be difficult to tell whose child was whose. Grace and Michael had both grown in dark red curly hair and had gray eyes. They had her mothers' eyes. Victoria had wavy curly dirty blonde hair and Ahren looked almost exactly like Tyr, only he had a lighter skin color and had amber colored eyes. Daniel and Anastasia both had medium brown hair, dark brown/green eyes, and had their mother's complexion. They had three pictures taken. "I think that they think that they don't have one set of parents but five sets." Rommie said. "Six if you count the ship apart from you." Angel said. Rommie nodded. Trance walked in to talk to Angel. They went into the corridor. "Angel I was just informed that your brother has escaped form jail and is being followed. He is headed straight for us. I think he wants all of your kids dead." Trance said. She was scared. Angel got fear in her eyes and ran into the room. "My children my family isn't safe I've got to hide them all of them." Angel said frantically. She was almost in tears. "Calm down Angel what's wrong?" Beka asked. "Her brother." Rommie said. "What about him?" Beka persisted. "He's coming to kill my family or attempt to. He escaped from prison and is headed straight for us." Angel said. A meeting was called into the room they were in. The entire crew, Shay had become part of the crew by now, entered in a panic because they didn't know what was going on. She told them what happened. "When and if he does show up I would like to hide the children, just my children, you can hide yours if you want but it is my children he wants. I know where I am going to hide them." Angel said. "Where?" Harper asked. "I can't tell you. I am going to hide as well but away from the children." Angel said. "Tyr I would like to hide the twins also, we can't both protect them and deal with her brother." Beka said. "I would like to hide ours too Dylan. Her brother is a little on the crazy side." Rommie said. "Hey my brother may be a lot of things but he isn't crazy." Angel said. Even if she didn't get along with him, he was still her family. "Sorry, where will we hide them?" Rommie asked. "Trance do you know where they were when you were contacted?" Angel asked. "They were about two slipstream jumps away. That was about 30 minutes ago." Trance said. "Ok then the kids need to be hidden now." Angel said picking her twins up. Beka and Rommie did the same and followed Angel out. "What should I do?" Harper asked. "I want you to help everyone else and protect us. I love you Harper." Angel said. She was crying but also trying to stay strong for the children. They left and went down near where she used one of the old crew quarters. It was never repaired upon Angel's request. She opened a panel. "Rommie do you think you could stay in here with the children and help Shay if he needs it?" Angel asked. Rommie nodded. Angel and Beka each took one of her twins and Rommie climbed in. The twins were handed to Rommie one at a time. Angel knelt down in front of Shay. "Hurry Angel they are asking to board, Dylan can deny them for so long." Rommie said. Angel nodded. "Shay I want you to be strong and protect all of the other children if they find you ok. Help Rommie keep them calm and quiet." Angel said kissing his forehead. He nodded then was lifted up into the conduct. The panel was put back on, they moved further into the conduct. Beka went to command and Angel went and hide in the conduct behind the panel she painted on. Dylan allowed her brother to hail. He then informed the guards that they would get him under custody then hand them over if that is what Angel wants. The guards agreed and stayed near the Andromeda. "Where are those children? I know you have them somewhere on this huge ship of yours!" Desicreed snarled. "Andromeda where are my twins?" Dylan asked.
"Tyr I'm telling you Beka is just fine. She can handle Harper. She has before." Dylan said. They were sitting at his desk. "Shh, or they'll here us." Rommie whispered as her, Beka and Angel crawled through the conducts. Harper suddenly came running into Dylan's office. "Can I help you?" Dylan asked.
