/A.N./ I loved the reviews! Thanks especially to my friend Chelsey for reading this and reviewing and also to my friend Kimberly for making the bet with me that I could/couldn't fill 140 pages with this story (motivation). So now on with the story!

Trance breathed a sigh of relief and dropped her hands tiredly to her sides. Even though she didn't require much sleep, Trance was completely drained.

"Trance?" Rommie addressed her quietly.

"Hmmm?"

"Why don't you go and get some rest. I will monitor her life signs and inform you if there is any change." Trance nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your help. All of you." Trance said warily while looking at all of them, then leaving the room.

"Yah know. I don't know how Trance does this." Sighing Beka continued, "I think I'll go and tell Harper that she'll be ok." Beka finished then also left.

"I guess it's just you and me now Rev." Rommie said as she turned to look at the monk.

"Yes, I guess it is. Do you require my assistance any more Rommie?"

"No Rev; actually I think I'm going to go report to Dylan on her condition."

"Very well. I think I will go and meditate on this event."

"Pray for her, would you Rev?"

" I will." Rev and Rommie then left together. Leaving the young lady all alone on the medical bed.

Beka walked quickly to Harper's room. His quarters weren't far from medical, for obvious reasons.

"Why the hell would he care so much if some girl, he didn't even know, is gonna live or not?" Beka asked herself aloud, not expecting to hear an answer. But you don't always get what you expect.

"Because he's lonely." The disembodied voice of Andromeda echoed through the hall that Beka was in.

"How can he be lonely? He's got us."

"Yes he does have us, but what he doesn't have is someone he can relate to; someone."

"Someone like him." Beka cut her off sadly. She stopped in from of the door to Harper's quarters. She was about to knock when Andromeda's hologram appeared next to her.

"He's asleep." She stated matter-of-factly.

"Oh. Okay." Beka said then silently entered Harper's quarters. 'What a mess!' Beka thought as she made her way to Harper's bedroom. As she entered she saw Harpers small (but adorable) body curled up on his bed. 'God I hope he's wearing cloths!' Beka thought as she approached his bed. She sat on the edge and gently shook his shoulder.

"Whatever it is I ain't fixin' it" Harper complained as he rolled over and buried his head in his arms.

"Harper."

"Hmmmm?"

"GET UP!!" Beka screamed in his ear.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" Harper yelled as he rolled off of the bed and onto the floor with a thud.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry."

"No your not.hand me that shirt there, would yah?"

"Here." Beka replied while tossing Harper a black shirt from off of the floor.

"Thanks." Harper said as he pulled the shirt on. "So, what'd you want?"

"Huh? Oh.I.uh.come to tell you that the girl you saved is going to be fine."

"She is?" Harper asked hopefully.

"Yes Harper, she is." Harper breathed a sigh of relief then looked up at Beka, anger evident in his eyes.

"What?" Beka asked noticing his look.

" You woke me up just to tell me that!?!" Harper was practically screaming.

"Ummm.no."

"Then what?"

"Uhh.I love you." Beka said with a smile, hoping to calm the childish, but overworked engineer. His eyes softened at her comment.

"Sure yah do." He replied sarcastically with a smile. "Can I go back to sleep now?" Harper asked pleadingly.

"Sure Harper; you can go back to sleep." She replied getting up off of his bed and leaving his quarters.

"Jeeze! Talk about a rude awakening." Harper said as he dragged himself up off of the floor and back into bed. "Hey Rommie?"

"Yes Harper?"

"Will you tell me when that girl wakes up?"

"Of course Harper. Now go to sleep."

"Ok. Thanks." He replied as he snuggled in under the blankets and fell back asleep.

In command:

"Dylan?"

"Yes Rommie?" he replied turning toward the android.

"The young woman's vital signs are now stable. She will be fine."

"Thank you Rommie." Dylan was about to say something else when Tyr came through the door.
