chapter 4 - bed time chat

Trance was walking down a corridor. She was smilling and softly humming to herself. It had been X months since she and harper told everybody that she was pregnant. In her hand she read a flexi while she walked.

So she didn't notice harper until she walked straight into him. He also had a flexi in his hand.

When they bumped into each other they both dropped their flexis.

"oh my God trance you ok i didn't hurt you did i?"

"Im fine harper honest"

"You sure? we could go to medical to check"

"I'm fine harper. what that?" she asked pointing at his flexi trying to change the subject.

Trance had picked up the flexis they had dropped and handed harpers his.

"Just the enginering supplies we need" he looked at the flexi in her hand.

"Medical supplies, i was just going to command to give the to dylan"

"I'll go with you then"

"ok" said trance feeling defeated she new better than to say no to harper. Since he had found out that she was pregnant he had been very protective of her. Too protective of her in her opinon. But she thought to herself its only because he cares.

They went to command and gave dylan the lists, and then headed down to the mess.

"so have you thought of any names yet?" trance asked. leading to harper to suggest every name a member of his family every had.

***************************************************

It was 0200 hours. Trance was laying on her bed in her courters. She couldn't sleep her back ached so did her feet and because of the bump she couldn't get comfortable. After harper had found out that she was pregnant he had insisted that he would share a room with her - just in case something bad happened to her. Harper was asleep on a matress on the floor. Her back was really starting to become really pain probably form lying down on the uncompfortable crew beds and because she had a sudden urge for chocolate melted on chicken so she decided to go for a walk.

She quietly slipped out of bed and carefully stepped over harper. She reached for aa dressing gown and put it on.

"Oh god trance, you ok? it isn't time is it?" damn she thought to herself - she woke him. Harper sat up and was now looking very very worried.

"harper i'm ok just got some major urges thats all" a look of relief spred across harpers face.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"well you looked so sweet and peacefull" harper blushed. He pulled back his sheets and stood up.

"ready?"

"yeah, but i suggest you put some clothes on" harper was only wearing his birthday suit. He went a even brighten shade of red and covered himslef with his hands.

"Good idea"

*****************************************

The next morning:

Even after her mid night binge or chocolate, chicken and liver she was still very hungry. As harper would say she was eating for two now. Harper had gotten up early to fix something, so trance walked alone to the mess. When she arived she was pleased to see that she was not alone. Tyr was sitting in the corner eating his breakfast. Good she thought she had been meaning to talk with him. She picked up a plate and loaded it with food then went to sit with him.

She placed the plate on the table and carefully lowered herself onto a chair.

"hi tyr"

"hello"

"i wanted to ask you something" tyr raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly there was an explosion and the whole ship rocked and the room filled was smoke and sparkes flow out of nearby control consoles. Alarms started to go off. Trance and tyr fell of their chairs and were now on the floor.

Trance let out a small groan and placed a protective hand over herr belly.

"are you alright?" tyr asked sounding a bit concerned.

"Yeah i think so, what just happened?"

"i don't know" said tyr helping her back to her seat.

"Andromeda what just happened?"

"we were just attacked by some unknown ship, it has disappeared, but it caused a lot of damage"

"I'll be up on command in a minute"

"I'll come with you"

They started to walk up one of andromedas very long corridors toeards command. The ship rocked again as the unadentified ship attacked again.

In fornt of them was an almighty flash of light. Bits of metal went flying across the corridors and they're were explosions all around them.

Tyr pushed trance out of the way of some falling bits of metal support beams, one smashed right on top of him. Tyr layed on the floor, unconcious and bleeding.
