Disclaimer: Ok, in this fic. I own Shay, Kaltina, Shayvern, and the king. I don't own Andromeda. A/N: Trance is basically what I think her to be. This was actually written and typed up roughly about a year or so ago. So please be nice about it.

Learning to Love (part 2)

"Mother!?" Why do I have to be in here?" the young child asked.

"Because, daughter, not only is your father to busy to watch you but the rest of the crew is too. Be patient and Shay will be here to play with you." Her mother answered her.

Kaltina had her mothers' features except she didn't have the purple color or a tail. She could pass as an elf. She had bluish silver hair; it was beautiful on her. A few moments later Beka walked into Med. Bay with her son. Both children were the same age.

"Morning Trance and Kalie." She said as she let Shay go and play with Kalie.

Trance didn't understand why Beka and Tyr had named their son that but it reminded her of Harper's nickname that he had said that he was called back on Earth. She was glad Kalie and Shay never had to see the torture that people had to go through on Earth. Beka had left Med. Bay and went to command. Tyr was there as usual doing his weapons work. It had been a slow week and the crew was getting bored and they needed something to do. Harper of course was always busy with repairs and upgrades and such. Tyr had refused to go off and start a pride of his own. Beka and Shay were is real family now apart from the rest of the Andromeda crew of course.

"Morning guys" she said as she entered, they all greeted her too. She walked over to Tyr and helped him. Dylan let them show some affection while they worked.

Dylan walked up to Beka "aren't you suppose to have the children today Beka?" he asked.

"Dylan- Trance has them this week we need her to stay busy to keep her mind off of tomorrow and figuring out our plan." Dylan just nodded and went back to work.

Looking up "if you want to know what I think we should have an area for them play in and keep them monitored." Tyr said.

"And have them turn out like their parents?" Rommie said working at her console. Everyone in there laughed including Tyr.

"Tyr, since when did you care about them having a play area?" Dylan asked raising an eyebrow.

"It was a thought Dylan."

"Auntie Trance? Why hasn't daddy or uncle Harper watched us?" Shay asked.

"They are both busy Shay." Trance said kneeling down to them "How would you two like to go and get some ice cream?" She asked knowing that Dylan didn't want them to get spoiled eating that, she didn't care they have been good all week.

"YAY!!!" Both of them said in unison. Right then Harper walked in.

"Daddy!!" Kalie said running up to her father.

"How are you this morning?" he asked her.

"Great daddy. Guess what"

"What?" "Mommy is taking us to get some ice cream!" Kalie told her father.

"Trance" he said looking at her putting his daughter down, "you know what Dylan said about that."

"I know but they haven't had any in a week." Trance said. "Come on kids we better go now."

They walked out and Harper followed. "Wait up dear I'm coming too I've been wanting ice cream for awhile now."

They all went to the mess deck and ate some ice cream.

"What have you and Shay been up to today Kalie?" Harper asked her.

"What we do best daddy" she answered him.

"I sure hope that's not bugging your mother Kalie"

"Seamus-" Trance said, "If she didn't bug me then I would have to say she wasn't your child." He hated it when he was called Seamus, especially by Trance.

"Trance I'm sorry about that you know I was only joking"

"I know hun, I'm just a little tired that's all."

"Why wont I take both of the children and you go take a nap huh?" Harper asked.
