An enigma wrapped in a riddle with Dylan in the middle
By Natta
Summary: Rommie reflects over the recent occurrences and how to deal with them. In the mean time, Beka does the same but in a very different way.
A/N Hey see the smart title? Lol, self-esteem is glowing. Anyone who can find a quote from the show and episode place it gets a gold star.

Ever since Trance addressed the delicate matter of Dylan causing Beka's injuries, I haven't been able to think about anything else. I may have the brain the size of a planet, but yet.I have looked over all possible explanations and I still can't get how it happened. I can't accept what everyone else thinks. That Dylan did it. He is my captain, and my friend. He has always treated me very well. I can't remember that he ever unnecessarily hurt anyone. Why would he hurt Beka? I don't think it can be true. There has to be another reasonable explanation.
What's so strange is that she claims that she walked into a door. Just like she always did. We are not stupid and I know she's not either. That much damage could not be achieved from a door, besides my doors are a little hard to walk in to in case they malfunction. Is she trying to tell us that Dylan did it by being incredibly stupid? I shake my head. But Dylan didn't do it. I know he didn't.
There must be something else. Something she's not telling us. I will have Trance check her up again, maybe for unknown DNA. Maybe it's someone else, someone that goes undetected to my sensors. That could be a possibility.
When I'm on my way to med deck I see a certain nietchzean walking toward me. A certain *angry* nietchzean.
"Ship!" he roars, striding up to me. I stand perfectly still, my hands behind my back with a professional look on my face.
"Yes Tyr, what do you want?" He snarls and his eyes look dangerous. I am a warship though and he doesn't frighten me. I could kill him anytime.
"You know exactly what I want. You're letting your personal feelings for Dylan cloud your objectivity." I tilt my head to the side, silently asking for an explanation.
"Why are you denying it?" he asks suddenly. "You are jealous of Beka because Dylan chose her as his mate. Now you can't make yourself believe that he's hurting her. In a way, you're thinking he hurts you if he hurts her because you'd like to be in her place." I feel confused. This was a very.far-fetched explanation.
"I don't think that we should discuss my personal feelings," I said simply, not averting my gaze. He steps closer to me.
"Then may I ask why you're so stubborn in thinking it wasn't him? It's so clear and we can all see it. All except you." Suddenly, things aren't so simple anymore.
~Beka~
God. God, god, god. Now what? They've almost found out. And what can I do? Just keep denying it, it's all I can. Dylan is letting me stay here, why I don't know. I just hope it lasts for a while and then when I'm better, I'm going back. I know everyone expects me to leave him but if I don't, maybe they'll believe my silly door-explanations. Ok, so they're not stupid. But what else can they do? I don't want them to leave the ship because of me. I'd rather stay with Dylan then letting them suffer so I can be better. Making them leave the Andromeda, it just isn't worth it.
Trance is in the room with me, but I've been trying to avoid all conversation. Suddenly, she walks up to me.
"Beka, your injuries are almost healed now. It's confession time or you have to go back." I just close my eyes, not answering. She sighs.
"Beka.you're pregnant." My eyes snap open and horror rises in me. Trance must've seen it because she strokes my hair slowly and looks at me with compassion.
"If he isn't hurting you, why are you so afraid?" I don't know what to answer. I don't have to, because in that moment Dylan comes in.
"If you don't mind, I'll be taking Rebecca home now," he says and walks up to me. I get off the bed, I'm good enough to walk now. Trance looks surprised that I'm going with him, but there's not much she can do since I've healed.
"Beka are you sure?" I look at her to reassure her but Dylan answers for me.
"I suggest you keep your golden nose out of this. I don't see why but I think both Rebecca and I would prefer you didn't.think so much." He takes my hand and pulls me out of the room. I know hell is about to begin when he finds out about my condition. But frankly, I don't really care.
~Rommie~
I'm going to med bay again. Maybe Tyr is right, I'm going to have a talk with Trance about it. I should apologize to her too, I was rather rude when we last spoke. When I come there, she sits slumped at one of the beds, staring right ahead of her.
"Trance?" I ask, "are you all right?"
"He took her back," she says in an empty voice, deprived of all emotion. "And she went with him. She's pregnant again too, did you know?" I see how she's hurting from this and a pang of guilt hits me. I sit down next to her and puts an arm around her shoulders.
"Well if she is, maybe it will change things," I say, no almost whisper. She looks up at me.
"So you believe it now? That it is Dylan?" I wait a moment before answering, I hadn't even realized it myself. But yes I think I believe it.
"Trance.I promise you. We will do everything we can to help Beka."
