A/N: Many thanks for the Reviews! And Enjoy :-D
"Hey, you're home early" Alicia said in surprise, she hadn't expected him home for at least another hour. Taylor kicked off his boots and moved to the lounge area where he deposited a black duffel bag on the floor.
"I dropped in to see Carter's estimates on Kate's place" Taylor said as he moved furniture and rolled up the rug to open the bunker he had below.
"And?" Alicia asked as she placed the roast she had been preparing in the oven before she turned to watch Taylor disappear into his bunker with the bag.
"At least a month, maybe more" Taylor said from below. Alicia could hear him placing at least three guns away and wondered how many Kate had been hiding in her house to begin with.
"That long?" Alicia asked as she moved over to the hole in the floor and looked down watching as Taylor placed Kate's old sig on the bench.
"Well there are some things that need replaced like the kitchen cabinets and some floorboards" he said as dismantled the weapon and placed it into a drawer.
"The blood" Alicia surmised as it usually had the bad manners to stain wood as if to serve as a bad reminder. Alicia hadn't seen the place but she just assumed it had been a mess from the state of Taylor's clothing there had to be quite a lot of it at the scene. Taylor held up the empty bag to her which she took from him and stepped back as Taylor came back up and closed the door.
"Yeah, I'm making it top priority for the contractors to get the house completed as soon as possible" Taylor said as he punched in the code before he and Alicia righted the rug and furniture.
"Baz will love that" Alicia said dryly. Taylor quirked his lips in a faint smile as Baz always found it insulting when he was told to do rush jobs as if Taylor was telling him he was lazy normally which was never the case.
"He loves Kate so it works in our favour. How was your visit with them?" Taylor asked, he hoped that Alicia's visit was more uplifting than his. Judging by the smile on Alicia's lips as she went to the fridge it had been good.
"Amusing, Kate tried to negotiate an arranged marriage between her unborn son and Ava" Alicia said as she pulled out a bottle of chilled white wine and poured two glasses.
"What's wrong with Ella?" Taylor asked her. She chuckled and shook her head at him.
"I like how you're more concerned about Ella being left out and not about Kate organising our daughter's future marriage" Alicia said in an amused voice before she passed him a glass of wine.
"Well I figured that's what all women do when they have kids they play match ups as a joke or something" Taylor offered as he secretly preferred the idea of Kate's son marrying his daughter than Carter getting his old lecherous hands on his beautiful girls in the future. But really he didn't want to think about it at all.
"I wouldn't know either way she said Ella looked too much like her so Ella and her son can never marry as it would be weird which lead to an amusing conversation in itself" Alicia said as she put the bottle back into the fridge. She then picked up her glass and they clinked glasses before taking a drink.
"Good wine" Taylor murmured as he looked at Alicia from across the kitchen island. He took in the sight of her in as he really like how domestic and relaxed she was looking in her tank top and loose cotton pyjama pants. He had noted all the changes over 3 months, Alicia has shrunk considerably from her pregnancy days as her body bounced back into good shape thanks to her gruelling exercise regime. She was still softer and curvier than before her pregnancy but her muscle definition was definitely coming back as was her confidence.
"So anything else amusing happened during your visit?" he asked before taking a sip of wine.
Taylor watched her and listened to her recount of the visit laughing at hearing Malcolm being uncomfortable with Kate finding Taylor attractive and the direction of the conversation to how Kate plotted out a whole future for Ava and her son but then gave up on it saying the kid will probably turn out to be some lanky nerd and Ava will be too interested in buff soldier boys. Something Taylor also laughed at but made a mental note to make sure when that time came all his men were too afraid of him to even consider going within a 5 metre radius of the girls. It was slightly worrisome he was already thinking that fair down the line.
"Malcolm's in pretty good shape, it won't take him long to heal from the surgery but the broken ribs will give him pain for a few weeks" Alicia said as she had watched Taylor circle the island to stand next to her.
"And Kate" Taylor said Alicia raised a curious eyebrow at him. "Shannon and I visited them to tell them that there were no other killers on the loose and that it was only Caetano. When we opened the door they were pretty cosy" Taylor remarked as he leaned a hip against the bench and took a sip of wine looking relaxed.
"Cosy?" Alicia asked him.
"Yes" he admitted in a reluctant manner so she would get the wrong meaning.
"How cosy?" Alicia asked in a rich tone as she did enjoy how prudish Taylor could get when it came to sex and other people.
"Come on, I don't want to know and just cosy enough to make Jim blush but as far as I concerned hands were in view and I know they both have enough meds in them nothing could happen and anyway-"
"I wouldn't say so" Alicia said cutting Taylor off before he could tell that Kate looked anything but amorous. Alicia wore a teasing smile that said she was going to explain the mechanics to him which he didn't need to hear especially about Kate and Malcolm.
"Don't, I know there is no way he-"
"He might not be able but that doesn't mean she can't" Alicia said with a grin.
"I don't want to know" he told her, he wanted to only think about them getting cosy.
"No?" she asked innocently as he took their wine glasses and moved them to the other bench out of the way.
"No. The only person's sex life I want to know about is yours" he told her as he turned back to and placed his hands on the bench fencing her in.
"Hmm well I don't have much of one" Alicia murmured looking up at him as she leaned back a little.
"You're being neglected by your husband?" he asked her leaning forward maintaining eye contact with her and giving an inviting smile. She nearly laughed as him speaking in third person about himself but his close proximity was intoxicating as heat radiated from him. Electricity sizzled between them as the sexual tension amped in a matter of seconds. Both of them holding off enjoying the tension and feeling the anticipation.
"Mmm no my husband is very attentive but you know having two babies makes a woman a little self conscious" Alicia said in a teasing yet slightly vulnerable manner as ran her hands slowly up his chest skating over the gun holster. He had to admit he found the mix intoxicating not because she made herself look weak but because she had the strength and trust to confide her vulnerabilities to him. One of them being her vanity.
"I hear you but I have to say for a woman who's had twins you got a great body" he told her as the temp kicked up a couple of degrees between them. Alicia was having a hard time concentrating since all she wanted him to do was to get naked very quickly and have him take her on the kitchen counter.
"You know I wasn't fishing for compliments" she told him, she didn't need him telling her she had a great ass as she had seen him checking her out on a daily basis and his gaze was anything but disapproving.
"I know, tell me what are our beautiful babies?" he asked her leaning in close that their noses were nearly touching.
"They are currently asleep in the nursery" she answered him in a husky and inviting tone, it was exactly what he needed to hear as he groaned and finally caved in and pressed his lips against hers.
He kissed her with all his pent up sexual and emotional frustration. It was hard, demanding kiss that she welcomed, she welcomed the thrust of his tongue into her mouth and returned his passion in kind. He gripped her hips, lifting her onto the kitchen bench behind her.
Alicia wrapped her legs around his hips closing what little physical space there was until she could feel his erection between her thighs. Alicia's world collapsed in on itself until it included only the space between them, the sounds of pleasure and the scent of Taylor's skin and her own arousal. She could feel the heat moving between them, there were too damn many clothes in the way. She needed to get them naked now.
She felt his hands squeeze her bottom, sending tremors of electric current along her limbs. She ripped her mouth away from his to find the salty heat of his throat. She loved the way he tasted. She licked and bit gently, right below his ear, where she knew it would make him growl in pleasure. She loved the feel of his body, the way his hands clenched on her bottom as she neared his favourite spot with her tongue.
His arms held her tight, his hips pivoting slowly, grinding against her in a way that made her blood catch fire. "Need you inside me," she panted against his neck. "Now."
Malcolm woke up with a start when Kate smacked him in the face with her hand. He would have grumbled for a moment and laughed but not this time as he heard Kate mumbling, he reached out and found her shaking, her skin fevered and covered in a light sheen of sweat as she was having a nightmare. He had seen her in the state many times before and it always made his heart twist in concern for her as he wondered what kept haunting her. The nightmares only seemed to crop up when she was stressed or so he assumed as she starting having nightmares after their back windows had been painted with blood.
Her words were so jumbled it was hard to tell what she was saying but he knew soon it would change. He raised the back of his bed so it matched hers as she could only sleep comfortably in a seated position.
"Wake up Kate, come back to me" he coaxed softly trying to rouse her. He touched the side of her face and continued to talk to her in a soft and coaxing tone. Kate gave out a low agonized moan and tears stroked down her face. She turned her head away and groaned as she shifted.
"It's ok, you're safe, just open your eyes" Malcolm whispered to her as he moved even closer to her, she vainly tried to push him away but he pulled her into his arms. He ignored the pain of her hand pressing against his sternum as he grabbed the wrist of the hand carefully while he stroked her cheek with the other.
Kate's eyes fluttered and finally opened. Terror was plain on her face, and he saw her trying to sort out the reality of him sitting there from her nightmare.
He smoothed her hair back from her sweaty forehead with one hand while he stroked the inside of her wrist with the other. She went stiff for a moment, then slowly relaxed as the dream lost its grasp. Her breathing was still laboured, and he could feel her pulse speeding beneath his fingers. She closed her eyes for a moment and pulled in a deep breath before exhaling slowly.
"You okay?" he asked, knowing what a stupid question it was but couldn't help asking.
"Just give me a minute" she said and he did watching while she tried to calm herself. It seemed like she had no control on her emotions or body as tried desperately to not cry. Her nightmares were a nasty mix of old memories from 2016 and the occupation mixed in with the delights her overactive imagination. It was not a good mix. In fact she wished she could breakdown and cry but she was so tired of being in tears and being consoled mainly just being weak.
"You know I prefer you only dream about me" he told her with a smile gently teasing her, watching her closely. Kate couldn't help but smile at the comment, she liked how he took the route of humouring her first before asking the question she hated hearing. "Do you want to talk about?" Malcolm asked her seriously as his eyes skated over her face taking in the sight of her.
"Do I ever want to talk about it?" Kate asked him with an exhale as she shifted into a more comfortable position.
"No, but I'm hoping one day you will" he said looking at her in the soft glow of the chem. lighting used in the infirmary at night time so the night staff could do their jobs without being blind.
"I'm hoping one day you'll kiss me" she told him with a teasing smile trying to lighten the mood further. She knew he didn't like the unknown or secrets but she didn't want to rehash her history or what she had dreamed about when she wanted to forget.
"I kiss you every day and if you had it your way it'd be every hour" he told her in a trying tone, Kate smiled.
"Nah every four hours at least as I need to have my own life and get some sleep" Kate told him with a smile before she kissed him. He ran his hands through her hair and kissed her back leisurely and slow. After a few seconds, a soft beep sounded and Malcolm broke the kiss knowing Kate would fall asleep in a matter of minutes. Kate made a murmur of protest which he smiled at.
"As much as I'd love to indulge you further our time is limited" he told her before she kissed him.
"Then turn off the machine, I don't want to sleep I want you" she mumbled against his lips as the medication wasn't giving her a choice. He indulged her in one more kiss before pulled his lips away from hers, he slid his arm under her head.
"Come on" he said as he pulled her closer.
"I don't want to hurt you" she murmured as she was now curled up into his side with her head on his shoulder.
"I'll be fine" he assured her as he gently stroked her back, he felt his shoulder grow damp and Kate slightly tremble against him. "Kate-"
"I'm ok, just stupid hormones and drugs not physical pain" Kate told him with a sigh as she shifted her left hand up and wiped the tears from her face. She tucked the hand away and moved closer to him yet again, her slightly protruding pressed against his flank.
"You know you can tell me anything" Malcolm said to her.
"I know just not here, the walls have ears here" Kate told him in a hushed tone.
"Speaking of walls that have ears, I can feel him moving in there" Malcolm commented before he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. It was true he could feel the slightest brushes of movement from her stomach. He also understood she was afraid of being overheard and her words ending up as town gossip. So he felt it best not to argue and to keep conversation light until she fell asleep.
Kate gave a soft chuckle "wait until he's out and about running around, you're going to have to chase him" She told him as she was doing her best to tamp down on the tears.
"Lucky I've been getting in shape so I can catch up with him" Malcolm said.
"Mmm you'll also have to keep up with me too" Kate murmured in a salacious manner as she was slowly drifting between consciousness and sleep. Malcolm chuckled.
"I'm an idiot" Alicia said breathlessly as she was flat on her back on their bed next to Taylor who was on his side with his head propped up looking down at her. They were both shamelessly naked with the lights on they hadn't even managed to get under the sheets or close the bedroom door as they had been so frantic for one another and to finish what they had started in the kitchen. "Don't look so smug" she told him as she saw the starts of his smile.
"I'm allowed to be smug"
"No, you're a prude. You wouldn't do me on the kitchen counter"
"I wanted our first time to be in bed and you're not an idiot" he told her as he took advantage of her current state to roam his hand over the front of her body in a slow and relaxing motion. Their love making had frenetic, slightly aggressive but definitely worth the long months of abstinence. Not that he would ever allow them to go back to that state again. He definitely was not going to go without sex with Alicia ever again if he could help it.
"I am, I love you and I'm an idiot to freeze you out because my own issues of inadequacy and lack of control" She told him as tears burned her eyes.
"I'm every bit imperfect as everybody else in this colony even you. But in saying that you are perfect to me and I won't have you calling yourself an idiot. We have kinks-"
"Hmm I noticed I have mine"
"I meant outside of our love making and if you're that hell bent on it I'll bend you over the dinner table later" he told her, Alicia gave a chuckle before settling back into a thoughtful expression "back to our other kinks we'll work them out while raising those two squawky kids of ours. I think you woke one of them up" he said as one of the babies was making noises from the nursery. She wasn't crying yet so Alicia hoped whichever girl it was she would settle on her own and fall back to sleep. Taylor leaned down and kissed her shoulder.
"They are growing so fast" she murmured as the twins had hit their three month mark and were excelling in their development even though they had been prematurely born.
"I know, I'm thinking I need to spend more time around the house so I don't miss out on anything" he said ...and baby number 3 he thought as a soft smile spread across his face. They were both waiting for the full blown cry to bring an end to their interlude.
"Well you are your own boss" Alicia reminded him as she wouldn't mind having him around the house.
"True, I do have a lot of sick days accrued" he added with a smile as he slowly trailed his fingers down her stomach he was barely past her navel when the sounds turned into genuine cries.
"Well I should go that's a hunger cry" Alicia told him.
"We should think of names" Malcolm said a week later, he had been reading over reports for his department when he realised they had no names. Not that there was a huge rush they had time but he figured it might be topic that would safe to discuss since Kate's emotional state was currently like a roller coaster of happy times and crying jags that were the result of the nightmares she was having on and off for the past weeks.
Kate refused to talk about the nightmares with him but he didn't take it personally as her excuse was that they were in the infirmary with barely any privacy. He had to agree that the infirmary was not the most conducive place for a private conversation with staff coming and going and thin walls. So he did his best to support her and hoped the rest would work out for the best.
He lowered the plex in hands to his lap and looked at Kate. She looked completely exhausted and bedraggled than usual because she insisted on going through her morning routine of a shower and washing her hair every two days. The whole exercise exhausted Kate to the point that once she was wheeled back to bed she was already asleep compared to when she just had a sponge bath. He woke her up for lunch and she dozed through the afternoon until tea was served.
"Isn't it early to be thinking about names?" Kate asked between bites of her afternoon tea which was a cup of herbal tea, a piece fruit pastry he could see she was struggling with just the idea of eating it and keep it down as the pain meds were making her ill but Dr Hastings said there was nothing to be done since it was her physiology. He had inherited the position as senior physcian in the infirmary after the last one's demise during the occupation, Malcolm would have preferred to keep Elisabeth as their doctor but Hastings felt there was a strong bias and Elisabeth general productivity was hampered by treating her close family and friends.
"No, I don't think so" Malcolm said as he placed the plex he had been reading to the bedside table and watched her. He hoped he hadn't picked a subject that would make her cry.
"Oh good because I have a name that I'd like to call him" Kate said casually as she looked at the pastry with more interest than it deserved. In fact she knew it was delicious but she felt like she was in a neverending spin cycle of a washing machine. She told herself she had to eat
"What name?" Malcolm asked her keeping his tone light as he was inwardly dreading that Kate would go back to calling their child a 'parasite', 'tick', 'bug' etc. to be amusing instead being serious.
"Caleb" Kate answered hesitantly. Malcolm was shocked initially that she actually had given a name and especially the one she had chosen. He gave soft smile before nodding approval and rubbing her left arm getting her to look at him when she bit her bottom lip looking at him, her eyes bright with joy.
"After your grandfather, I think it's great name" he told her, he watched her break into a smile as he knew it made her happy to name their child after her grandfather.
"I was also thinking he could have your name as his middle name" Kate said turning her attention back to the pastry, he knew she was dying to pull it to bits and eat it in segments as that was how she liked to eat it but with one arm laid up it was not an easy task. She of course being pragmatic gave up and picked up.
"You've been giving this a lot of thought. Haven't you?" Malcolm asked her.
"Well isn't it tradition with your family? You have your father's name as your middle name" Kate said she took a quick breath and steeled herself before she took a bite of the pastry. It did taste good but her body just didn't want it.
"I suppose so I never really gave it much thought as I was named after my mother's father. If it makes you nausea you shouldn't eat it" Malcolm said watching her grow pale as she forcibly as if she were eating something incredibly disgusting.
"Growing baby needs food. now back to names We can always break tradition and not have a middle name or pick other names" Kate said before she took her second bite of the pastry.
"I don't know, my ego is liking the idea of my name enduring on" he said stroking his chin thoughtfully Kate chuckled as she put down her pastry to playfully shove his arm. Malcolm feigned a pained expression as if she hurt him.
The door to the room opened and the couple turned to see Taylor and Alicia come into the room with the twins.
"You know you guys don't have to visit us every day" Kate told them as she returned to eating her pastry like it was a challenge and not a pleasure. It was true that Alicia and Taylor made a daily visit with the twins for the past week in the hopes of keeping Kate's spirits up. For most part it worked but it was her nightmares that were getting to her and the medication making her feel miserable.
"You want us to go?" Taylor asked in good humour as he was happy either way but Alicia poked him in the side making him move.
"And not give me bonding time with my future daughter in law away? No way" Kate said with a smile as she took another bite of pastry.
"You really have to stop that" Malcolm told her as he referred to Kate's assumption that Ava and their boy would get married.
"Why? It's so much fun" Kate said teasingly to Malcolm, she offered him a bite of the pastry to which he indulged if only stop watching her torture herself sooner. She kissed him on the cheek before she turned her attention back to Alicia and Taylor who were settling into their chairs.
"You're both in good spirits" Taylor remarked as he noted that Kate was still pale but her eyes were brighter than the usua; glaze they had from the drugs. Malcolm was his usual self, Taylor was incredibly proud of the man as he knew it couldn't be easy for Malcolm handling Kate with her current state and his own injuries but he was hanging in there and didn't show any signs of fatigue.
"Well pain meds and doing nothing but sleeping and being lazy will do that" Malcolm said as he ran a hand down Kate's back as she sat up still eating her food. While Kate made a derisive noise and rolled her eyes at Malcolm.
"Please, he's doing work on his plex when he thinks I'm asleep" Kate said as she gave up the last bite of the pastry not able to stomach it.
"Well it's the only work I can do until I'm released next week" He told her. Kate's face fell a little but then she gave a tilt of the head as if she dismissed whatever thought had chased through her mind.
"I wasn't knocking it, I'm just saying you can't claim you're being lazy when you're still working" Kate told him as she ran a hand down his arm and interlaced her fingers with his. He smiled at her and squeezed her hand gently in his as a reassurance and comfort to her.
"She has a point" Taylor said as he readjusted Ella in his lap. He and Alicia had well and truly rejuvenated their sex life and marriage while they still have a few hiccups here and there for most parts it was good. He had made a start on cutting back his 70 hour week in the command centre to roughly 40 hour week something he had never done in his life but he like the change of priorities as he spent more time with his family. He felt incredibly spoilt and a little lazy for not spending so many hours in the command centre and it had only been one week.
"You're getting released early?" Alicia asked surprised they wouldn't keep Malcolm in the infirmary until he was fully recovered but then he had Dr Shannon as his doctor and she was a firm believer of slowly getting out of bed and back to life unlike Dr Hastings who was old school in his treatments which still perplexed her as Alicia prescribed to Elisabeth's methods. But then Every Doctor had different styles.
"Well when I say 'released' it's just half days to start. I want to get back on my feet as soon as possible and maintain a presence with my staff otherwise they'll run riot" Malcolm said.
"Which means we'll be able to talk about sex and girly stuff without him getting uncomfortable" Kate said to Alicia, Malcolm gave a closed smile as he rubbed the back of his neck from embarrassment and gave a shrug as if to say 'I'm not sorry, I don't want to hear that stuff'. Taylor was in the same boat with Malcolm as he would rather be blissfully ignorant to most of what Kate and Alicia discussed in their own time.
"That's good" Alicia said wriggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"So, did you bring something wonderfully delicious and not healthy for me to consume?" Kate asked with a hint of hope. Alicia chuckled as she reached into the satchel she brought with her and pulled out a thermos.
"Yes, it's probably still a little too hot too consume" Alicia said as she held Ava in one arm and placed the thermos on the table which Malcolm opened for them as he still have two functioning hands. He poured out a cup of the contents and aroma of miso soup filled the air.
"Oh, miso soup. I love you, marry me" Kate said to Alicia, she hadn't been allowed Miso soup due to it's high sodium levels or so Dr Hastings said thus not allowing her any of the foods she normally liked to ingest because of their sodium or sugar content.
"You're already married to me, remember?" Malcolm asked Kate in a mocking fashion.
"No divorces in Terra Nova" Taylor added.
"Not yet" Alicia said to stir the pot with the men.
"I still got a shot" Kate said as she shakily lifted the cup and took a sip giving a satisfied sigh as it tasted delicious and her body amazingly didn't revolt on it either.
"Meds still giving you grief?" Taylor asked watching the obvious muscle weakness, he and Alicia exchanged looks of concern as it was not easier to watch one of their friend's be so stricken health wise.
"Yes along with Dr Hastings dietary restrictions" Kate said before taking another long pull of her soup. She could feel the colour returning to her and her nausea subsiding for the first time since waking up in the infirmary. Alicia got up from her seat pulled the plex from the end of the bed and read Kate's charts.
"Well everything is looking good, though your iron levels are a little low but still within parameters" Alicia remarked before she slid it back into it's holder at the end of the bed.
"Hey would you be able bring me some more soup this week?" Kate asked, Alicia smiled as it wasn't the first time Kate asked for food. She felt the woman being on bed rest and not allowed to have any control on her diet or medication regime due to pressuring from her doctor.
"I'll bring you some of that weird rice soup like in the morning tomorrow, hopefully it will help settle your stomach" Alicia said as she moved to Kate and placed Ava in her lap and leaning into Kate's left arm. Kate smiled happily down at Ava and played with the baby's covered foot. Ava sat in Kate's lap and looked around the room with interest. He was amazed at how she and Ella had their own individual personalities so young. Ella was definitely the fussiest and she was very selective with who she would allow to hold her unlike Ava who didn't seem to mind as long as she was comfortable as long as she had a good view of the room.
"I assume you've spoken with Evan?" Taylor asked Malcolm. Normally he'd not discuss anything Lucas or Portal related around Kate but she was currently distracted with Ava making faces and talking to the baby girl while tugging on her foot and smiling that she wouldn't take too much notice of the conversation. Or so he hoped and if she wasn't he knew a cute baby was the quickest way to stop Kate from getting too upset with him as Alicia made a rule of no 'negative energy' around the children.
"Yes, he visited yesterday morning and we talked apparently the project it coming along well. He says the repairs are almost complete which means we're just waiting on the calculations to be finished" Malcolm said as he watched Kate with Ava, he knew talking about 2150 and anything Lucas related made her uncomfortable but he knew there was no other place for him and Taylor to have the conversation with some semblance of privacy either. Alicia sat in her chair looking relaxed as she listened.
"Same, you'll have to go out to where the rift is and use the Terminus to rope it in" Taylor said.
"No, you and Evan will. I'm not leaving the colony to go OTG for any length of time in the foreseeable future" Malcolm told Taylor.
"Why not?" Taylor asked
"I'm not going to risk the chance of missing out on watching my son be born" Malcolm said, Alicia smiled as it was rather touching that Malcolm would give up going OTG just on the slight chance he might miss something with Kate and her pregnancy.
"I wish I could" Kate said joining the conversation the others gave her an odd look of confusion. "Have you seen what a natural birth looks like? It's not pretty" Kate explained keeping her voice light and fun as she looked down at Ava who giggled and smiled at Kate's attention.
"I think it's different when you're having your own baby" Alicia offered, not that she could talk from experience but she hoped if they decided to have a third child she would be able to have a natural birth then.
"I don't know, it all kind of grosses me out at the moment" Kate said sceptically as she looked up and scrunched her nose while Malcolm, Taylor and Alicia smiled and chuckled at her.
"You're entitled to your opinion but I still want to be there and I am not leaving this colony just in case. Anyway you don't need me out there. I'll only get in the way" Malcolm said which was true between Evan and Lucas they had the project covered.
"We'll discuss it later down the track" Taylor said as he didn't like being dictated to. Something all of the people in the room knew very well.
