Disclaimer: None of it is mine. But you guys know that!

Author's Note: Ok, first thing I have to say is that the idea for this story came from a friend of mine. She told me the idea and asked me to write it for her. So all credit goes to her! Thank HER for this FABULOUS idea! Now technically, this isn't my first Farscape fic, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it is because my other one I started, no one has read and has been put on pause since I'm writting this one right now. So...this is my first, so BE NICE! Originally, I wasn't going to post this until I was at least half way done with it, but I've written fanfictions before and so I'm too use to having constant feedback for every chapter. Right now I've only gotten through half of chapter 2 written. Oh yeah, and just a little warning...this isn't exactly....a happy story...there's no death but um...yeah ok I've said enough! Oh yeah, my spellcheck is broken, so there may be little grammar or spelling mistakes that I missed. I had to read it over like 10 times to make sure I didn't miss any, but I still might've so please forgive me for any you come across!

So anyways, on with the story!

PROLOGUE

She stepped out of the transport pod onto the hard sand. Wincing against the bright sunlight, she was already regretting that she had come. Looking over at the old woman, she said in an irritated voice, "This better be quick."

Noranti dismissed the comment with a small wave of her hand. "Oh it won't take long at all. All we need is -"

"Medicines and food." Aeryn finished for her. She had heard it ten times already.

With a sigh, she was beginning to wish she had let her husband do this instead. He had insisted on it, but she had refused. Since demanding it wasn't working, he had tried to reason with her.

"What if he gets hungry? I can't breast-feed him ya know!"

"That's what the baby food is for." She reminded him.

John wrinkled his nose. "But he won't eat that stuff. He hates it."

"Then just force it down his throat." Aeryn said with a shrug.

"Aeryn, you can't force a baby to eat something."

"Look, I just fed him and he's asleep. I'll only be gone for an arn at most."

She squinted as she scanned the horizon. Already she could feel sweat breaking out on her forehead. Frell, she hadn't expected it to be this hot. She knew there were three suns, but two were on the other side of the planet by this time of day. She didn't think one sun would be this extreme. This better not take any longer than an arn.

John had agreed.

"I'll be counting the minutes." He slid his arms around her waist from behind. "Any longer and you're gonna get it."

She smiled. "Oh really? I doubt that."

"Don't." He muttered, sniffing her hair.

"Whatever you do to me, I'm sure I'll enjoy it."

John let out a small groan. "Hurry up and get outta here so you can come back."

Placing her hand on her pulse pistol, Aeryn said to Noranti, "Let's hurry up and get this over with."

"Yes, yes." Noranti agreed enthusiastically. "Now remember, we need to find -"

"I know what we need!" Aeryn snapped. This heat was already getting to her. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and began walking towards the settlement. "Let's just go get what we need and get off this frelling planet."

Once they reached the settlement, it took them a quater of an arn to find a shop with the correct medicines Noranti needed. Inside the building was even hotter and stuffier than outside, and Aeryn was getting tired of listening to the old woman demanding lower prices. She decided to go buy the food while Noranti dealt with the medicine, otherwise this would take well over an arn.

"Noranti!" Aeryn barked it out so that her voice could be heard over the merchant and Noranti's angry voices. Once Aeryn had the old lady's attention, she said, "I'm going to locate a place where I can get the food we need. Meet me back at the transport pod, and don't get into any trouble."

Noranti nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, yes. Fine." She didn't seem to be paying very much attention at all to Aeryn.

Aeryn didn't really care though. And as she left the shop, part of her hoped the crazy woman would get in trouble so she could leave her behind.

She walked along the street looking for a place that sold anything but food cubes and moldy fruit. She had so badly wanted to get off Moya and stretch her legs, but now she had a growing longing to go back. Remembering John's reaction to such an excuse to leave made her smile.

He tightened his arms around her waist. "Why do you have to go?"

"Because we need supplies."

"No, I mean why you

"Because Chiana is in no condition to do anything yet, Rygel won't go, not that I'd trust him anyway, and I definetly do not trust Noranti to be able to take care of herself incase she gets in trouble." She leaned back into his warm chest and closed her eyes. "Besides, I wouldn't mind getting off Moya for a while."

She felt John's body go stiff and he snapped his head up away from her neck. "You don't want to stay here with me?" He asked softly into her ear, his lips brushing against her skin and sending shivers down her back.

"I would ask you to come, but you have to stay and watch our son."

"He's asleep."

"He might wake up."

"Chiana can take care of him."

She shook her head. "You know she's not up for a task like that yet, John."

John replied with a quiet moan and slipped his hands under her shirt and across her stomach. "Stay."

His warm touch seemed like a distant memory from down here. His plea to stay had sounded good at the time, but now it sounded irresistable and she hated herself for not complying. Well, she'd be back soon. Then she could let him know how much she regretted leaving him to come to this stupid planet.

Aeryn took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. She rubbed a hand across her burning forehead again to wipe away the hot sweat. It was dangerously hot down here and she knew she couldn't stay for much longer. She needed to find the food she was here to get and get back to the transport pod where the temperature was normal. Hopefully the food wouldn't be too hard to find. And for the love of Cholak, Noranti had better not be getting herself into any trouble.
