I do not own Robotech….
Two months later Amy was sitting in the bathroom with the pregnancy test in her hand. She had picked it up on her last trip to the store that was hours away. She had missed her period last month and this month again. The test was positive. "Positive! Positive! Dear God, it's positive!" she thought. She had the mixed emotions of happiness and sadness. Sadness because the love of her life is leaving in two months and will not be here for her or their baby and happiness because she will have something that belongs to them. She will always have the baby.
Amy walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where Brionic was assisting in preparing dinner. "He has become quite the cook," she thought, remembering the first meal he ever prepared. What a disaster that was! Everything was burnt and smoke was everywhere. They had to open ever single window and door to air it out. He had been trying to surprise her when she was out tending the horses. She came out of the barn to see smoke coming out of the kitchen window. She ran into house to see Brionic in the middle of the kitchen looking around as if he was trying to figure out what to do next.
"Brionic! Where's the fire," she asked in a rush ready to pounce on where ever the flames were.
"No fire," he said. "Um, I was trying to cook you dinner and well, it kinda burned up. I hate to admit but I don't know what to do."
Amy smiled and said, "First thing is open all the windows and doors, my love. Next we will clean up this mess after it clears a bit and we will try cooking again."
"Shall I get the fire extinguisher?" she asked with a grin coming back to the present.
Brionic looked up and smiled at her. "Ha ha ha very funny darling. I will have you know that I have become an accomplished chief. With your hands on instructions of course."
Amy smiled and sat down at the table. Brionic put the food down in front of her and in front of his place at the table then sat down himself. They began to eat in silence. Finally about ten minutes later Brionic looked at Amy's plate and saw that the food was hardly touched.
"Everything okay?" he asked in concern.
"Hmm, oh, yeah. Everything is fine." She said, trying to smile. The past ten minutes she was pushing her food around her plate contemplating on how to tell him she was pregnant. They already had the talk about babies, children, and childhood in general.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Um, remember when we talked about babies?" she started. "Remember when I told you how they came?"
"Yes," he said. He wondered where she was going with this.
"Well, I am not sure how to tell you this, but um, well," she chuckled nervously. "I'm pregnant."
Brionic's eye brows shot up, his eyes got really big, and his mouth dropped open. "Pregnant? Are you sure?" When Amy nodded he said, "Wow!" His face lit up. "Wow! That's great! A baby…No Zentraedi has ever had a baby. A baby. My baby, our baby!"
Amy smiled. "Then you're happy about this? I mean, I am happy and sad because I know you'll be leaving soon."
Brionic stopped. "My God! They can never know! There is a prophecy among the Zentraedi. It states that a Zentraedi that is not all Zentraedi will end our way of life. They child will have amazing gifts. Gifts never seen before by Zentraedi. More like powers. How can a Zentraedi not be all Zentraedi? Now I know. Half human and half Zentraedi." He looked down at Amy's belly in wonder. "No, they will never know. Prophecy or no prophecy, I will protect our child with everything I have. This I promise, Amy. I love you and I love our child." He looked down at Amy's belly in wonder. "No, they will never know. Prophecy or no prophecy, I will protect our child with everything I have. This I promise, Amy. I love you and I love our child."
Amy started crying. "Oh Brionic, I love you and our child. I will protect our child with everything I have too. I have a feeling we will have a girl. A beautiful baby girl."

Two months later they were saying their goodbyes. Brionic put his face next to Amy's slightly rounded belly. "You be good for your mother, Rhyanna. Your mother gave me a locket with her picture and she has a picture of me so you know who I am when the time comes. Don't you worry daughter, when I get back to my full height the locket will be to small for my people to notice. I love you." He kissed Amy's belly and stood up. "I hate to leave you like this." He said, looking into Amy's eyes. They kissed a long, loving, beautiful kiss.
"Our child will want for nothing," Amy said as she looked deep into Brionic's eyes. "I love you so very much. What are you going to do now that you have human emotions? How are you going to hide that?"
"I am a Zentraedi through and through, Amy." Brionic began. "I will have to hide my human emotions because if I don't then they will know that I have had micronian…er…human contact. If they never know then they will not try to hunt the person down and destroy them and their child." He finished looking pointedly at her belly. "We must keep our child safe. As safe as we can. It hurts to know that you will be doing the most protecting of us, but I am protecting her in my own way. The only way I know how. This is also the reason why I go alone now. They must never see you, my darling." He kissed her again.
"I understand," Amy began, "why we are doing it this way but it doesn't make it any easier." She began to cry. "OH BRI!" she wailed in despair. "After all these years I finally find love. We create a child with our love. Now you are going forever! I will never see you again!"
Brionic held her close. "We have our dreams, Amy. They can never take that away. Remember I love you and Rhyanna more than life itself. Isn't funny, how can you love someone you have never even met? I must go now."
"Must you go now?" asked Amy. "Can't we just have five more minutes together? Just five more minutes?" Amy grabbed on to Brionic's shoulders and wrapped her arms around his neck in a fierce hug, burring her face into his neck and crying.
"Five more minutes." Brionic said. "But, only if you stop crying. I don't want to leave here with my last memory being of you crying, okay? I want it to be of you smiling."
Amy calmed her tears and regained her smile. "I love you with all of my being, Brionic."

Brionic reached the open field alone. He looked up towards the sky. He could see the little blimp in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger with passing time. Within minutes the ship had settled on the ground. The hatch door opened and out popped the pilot.
"Commander, it is good to have you back." The Zentraedi said. "We look forward to hearing you report on this micronian world."
"Yes, it will be good." Brionic said climbing in the ship. "I will fly."
