"Are you sure this is it?" Beka asked Rommie. They were standing on the porch on a large white house with blue trimming.

"Yes, Beka, I'm sure" The android replied. Just then, the door opened to reveal a young woman.

Dylan decided to be the first to speak, "Hi. We're looking for Seamus........."

"Harper." Reily finished for him, "Come on in." She motioned them to enter. They came inside and Reily closed the door behind them.

"You must be Reily." Trance observed. (A/N. She's gold now. She was purple when Harper left.........I just don't know why she turned gold.)

"Yeah. Uh, Shay's in here." She said leading them into the living room. Harper stood when he heard them come in and a smile lit his face when he saw them.

"Hi guys." He said breaking the silence.

"Oh, Harper." Trance squealed, running up and giving him a hug.

"Trance?" He asked, pulling her away from him so he could look at her. He folded his arms and stroked his chin thoughtfully, while looking her up and down. "Something's different, I just can't put my finger on it. New shoes?" Trance giggled and hugged him again. "You look great Trance. Different, but great." He pulled away from her and held her shoulders, "You always looked good in gold." He kissed her cheek as he pulled her into another hug.

"I missed you." She told him quietly.

"I missed you too." He said, rubbing her back. "I think we should let someone else have a turn. Besides, I think Reily's getting a little jealous." He said stealing a glance at his wife. Trance reluctantly released him as Reily walked over next to him. He kissed her head as he pulled her into his arms.

"I wasn't jealous." She mumbled into his shoulder as she hugged him.

"Sure you weren't." He said as she pulled away from him.

"Why don't you make yourselves comfortable. I have a few things to do in the kitchen. Uh, do you guys want anything?" Roily asked trying to be a good hostess.

"I'll have a beer." Harper said. "Guys?"

"I'll have a juice." Trance said.

"Okay, what kind?" Reily asked sweetly.

"Apple if you've got it."

"Alright. Anyone else?" Reily asked.

"Boss, you want a sparky?" Harper asked Beka.

"Sure." She replied.

"Dylan? Tyr?" Harper asked, checking if anyone else wanted anything.

"Just water." Dylan replied.

"Nothing." Tyr said in a very Tyr like way.

"Okay. So, water, apple juice, a sparky, and a beer. DO you want anything? I'm sorry I don't know your name." Reily directed her question at Rommie.

"Nothing, thank you." The android replied.

"Okay." Roily said before leaving and going into the kitchen.

"Uh, sit down, make yourselves comfortable." Harper said motioning them to sit. They all took seats; Harper sat on the end of the couch next to Rommie.

"Harper, you look good." Rommie observed.

"Thanks." He replied smiling at her.

"Yeah, you two dress alike often?" Beka said jokingly, just as Reily came back in, expertly carrying all of the drinks. She set them on the table by Harper and handed them out. After doing so, she made a hasty exit.

"So, boss, how does it feel?" Harper asked Dylan.

"How does what feel, Mr. Harper?"

"Come on Dylan, you restored the Systems Commonwealth. You're a hero."

"It wasn't the same without you Harper." He replied.

"Boy, where's your mate?" Tyr asked pointedly.

"She's not in here?" Harper asked.

"No." They all replied in unison, after looking around.

"Uh, could you guys help me find her?" Harper asked pleadingly.

"Of course we will Harper." Trance told him. They all spread out and searched.

"Reily?" Harper called, searching their bedroom. "Okay, she couldn't have just disappeared." He said sitting on the bed. "Now, if I was the wife of an amazingly sexy super genius, where would I hide?" He mused.

"Harper?" Rommie called.

"Rommie? Where are you?" He asked startled.

"The Com link, Harper." She replied.

"Oh. Yeah, I forgot it was there." He realized.

"Just come down here, please?"

"I'm coming." He said getting up and going down stairs. He found Rommie waiting patiently outside Reily's office.

"She's in here." She told him then let to join the others, who had gathered in the living room.

"Reily?" He called, knocking lightly on the door.

"No!" She yelled back, and promptly a shoe hit the door.

"What'd I do? It's like one minute we're talking about kids and the next you're mad at me."

"I'm not mad.........I'm upset. There's a difference!"

"Can I come in?"

"No. Go away."

"Now it's my turn to say no."

"Shay........."

"I just want to talk."

"We are talking."

"Please?"

"Fine." She caved. He opened the door and found Reily sitting at her desk with her hack to him. "What?" She asked when she heard the door close behind him

"Will you look at me, please?" He asked coming up behind her.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I know if I look at you, you'll be all cute and adorable and I'll forget why I'm upset."

"Reily, please turn around?"

"No."

"Okay. Why are you upset?" He knelt down beside her, but she refused to look at him.

"Your friends hate me." A few tears escaped her closed eyes.

"They don't hate you." He wiped a few tears off her cheek.

"Yes, they do, but that's not why I'm upset." She looked at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Then why?" He gently brushed the tears away.

"Because, they want you back, they you'll leave, and I'll be all alone again." She slid down onto the floor and hugged him like her was her only lifeline. "I love you so very much and I want you to know that whatever you decide is fine with me and I hope you're really happy." She confessed sincerely, her tears wetting his shoulder.

After a few minutes, he gently pulled her away from him and looked deep into her eyes. "Baby, how could you possibly think that I would ever leave you? I love you; I'd give my life to protect you. You're my wife, the woman I pledge my life to," He placed her hands on his chest and pulled her close, "Without you, my heart wouldn't beat and my lungs wouldn't draw breath. I don't' know how I would live if I went to bed every night not telling you I love you, I don't know what I would do if I didn't wake up to your beautiful face, and I don't know how I would survive if you weren't beside me, pushing me to be better than I am."

"Now you're just quoting your wedding vows." She smiled, remembering.

"Would you prefer I quote yours?" He rested his forehead against hers.

"No, that's alright. Yours are so much better. Just one question though."

"What?"

"Why did you quote them?"

"Because I mean it. I meant it then and I still mean it today."

"You're so cute." She kissed him softly and snuggled into his embrace.

"I know." He hugged her tightly and kissed her shoulder. "And if they do ask me to come back then WE will discuss it and WE will decide. Okay?"

"Okay." She mumbled into his shoulder.
