Chapter 13
"You wanted to see me Beka?" Bobby asked as he walked into medical to see Beka.
"Yes," Beka said. "Don't waste your time on me Bobby!"
"What?" Bobby asked perplexed.
"I'm still recovering from my stroke," Beka said. "I won't be ready to leave medical in a few weeks let alone Andromeda. You should just leave."
"What about the girls?" Bobby asked.
"You aren't taking them with you," Beka said. "You see Bobby! I know about the other girl you have back on Topeka Drift and that you are only trying to get me to come back with you so that she can be a mother without actually having to give birth. I also know that you knew of my pregnancy before you left and that you left because you where scared. Being afraid of me while I was carrying them is the same thing as being afraid of them. Besides, they where born on this ship and I'm raising them on this ship. They have lives here."
"I'm sorry you feel that way," Bobby said as he turned to leave medical.
"You know if you had known about my pregnancy the least you could have done was be at their birth," Beka said as Bobby left medical.
She shook her head as she heard the doors open and Dylan come in. "I just saw Bobby walking out of her in a rage," Dylan said.
"I told him I'm not going with him," Beka said. "I'm staying; me, the Maru, Katie and Cam. We're all staying."
Dylan hugged Beka tightly. "Glad to hear that you finally figured out that he was jerk but the least you could have done was let him take that old bucket of bolts with him." Beka hit him on the back of the head. "OW! Or you can keep it here."
Beka laughed. "Hey I'm dying to get out of here can we pay a visit to my quarters?"
"I don't see why not," Dylan said as he helped Beka into her wheelchair and began pushing her out the door. %$# "Girls look who I helped escape frame Auntie Trance's clutches," Dylan announced as he stepped into Beka quarters surprised to find that the girls weren't there. "Katie! Cam!"
"Dylan what's wrong?" Beka asked concerned.
"Nothing Beka they're five year old girls playing a game," Dylan said. "Andromeda," Dylan ordered as holo-Rommie blitzed in, "Locate Katherine and Cameron Valentine."
"Locating," Rommie reported. "Katherine and Cameron Valentine are not onboard Andromeda."
"Locate Bobby Jensen's ship!" Beka ordered panicked.
"Bobby Jensen's ship has left the cargo bay," Andromeda said.
"Track that ship and set a pursuit course," Dylan ordered as holo-Rommie blitzed out. He looked down at Beka to see her crying and he knelt down to look her in the eye. "Beka it will be okay. We're going to find them."
"No it's not!" Beka said through tears. "I told him he couldn't take them. That I planned on raising them alone for the next sixteen years. God why is he doing this?"
"We'll find them Beka I know it!" Dylan said as he kissed Beka's forehead.
"Katie and Cam are the only real family I have!" Beka sobbed as Dylan held her close to him.
