Chapter 13

Beka was going to kill him.
How dare Telemachus do this to her?
And she just had to find out about it today didn't she? Today of all days.

Their anniversary.

It was supposed to be their day.
The rest of the crew were keeping Cassandra entertained while her parents spent some quality time together.

But not now.

She couldn't think of anything other than the torrent of thoughts and old emotions from years earlier.
Was this just another freak occurance or would he do it again?
Beka had to congratulate herself though, she was dealing with this better than the last time...at least part of it.
Storming into the room she shared with Rhade she pinned the Nietzschean with a death glare.

"I can't believe you did this to me!"

"Wha?"

"And don't give me that I'm-so-innocent-and-confused-look, you knew what you were doing didn't you? Didn't you?"

"Beka what's..."

"And don't you ask me what's wrong! You know what's wrong don't you? How long have you known for huh?"

"What? Beka you're not making sense."

"I can't believe this..."

"Believe what?"

"You know what!" she snapped.

Rhade groaned. What in the universe could he have possibly done to upset her like this? And on their anniversary too. He was completely lost and was starting to wonder if she had finally lost her mind.

"For the Divine's sake Beka what's your problem?"

"I'm pregnant!" she yelled, "...AGAIN"

Rhade stared at Beka and blinked.

She huffed, turned on her heel and left the room as Rhade slowly come out of his trace.

Pregnant?

A smug self-congratulatory smirk formed on his face.

Pregnant?

No wonder she was mad.

A/N: Oh Beka...Thinking Cass was the only child they'd ever have. I thought I should post this before I go finish my Philosophy...
Thanks so much for the reviews! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm working up to another one of that calibre (I hope) as soon as Beka and Rhade get to Tarazed...
