Where to go now... Sorry if updates on this and ‘Matchbox’ are a little scarce (or short) in the coming couple of months but I have exams soon and need to focus more on that.

Dylan was napping; he had decided it was his favourite hobby. It was not messy, confusing or, and this was always a bonus, fatal. Unless it goes on for too long and someone comes up to him in his sleep and tries to strangle him. In which case it would be fatal.

An energetic beeping on his door rudely awoke Dylan from his slumber. He had a visitor, he never had visitors, not on the Andromeda at least. She was a dead-ship.

“Who is it?” He mumbled into his pillow. Silently adding, go away.

“It’s Beka. Can I come in?” She asked, not waiting for an answer. She burst into his room and raced over to his bed, a wide grin on her face. She was getting bigger, there was a definite bump underneath her top and it was going away anytime soon.

“Yes, Beka. You may come in.” Dylan said sarcastically, smiling up at her. He moved over slightly so she could perch next to him on the bed. She smiled insanely at him again and bode him good morning.

“You’re unusually chirpy for someone who is not... usually chirpy.” He frowned and so did Beka- that made no sense.

“ Why?” He asked suspiciously.

“Well, I had another scan.” She said excitedly, jumping around to face Dylan.

Dylan’s face fell.

“Are you not going to include me in these events, Beka? ‘Cause I would kind of like to see the kid too.” He said, the words coming out harsher than he wanted them to. He wondered why she was so eager to do that alone, to not include him in things unless it suited her. But his momentary anger at Beka dissipated when he looked back at her. He almost forgot to breathe when he realised that this was his family. Not very well far along and not planned but still- this is it, Hunt. This is yours.

“You were asleep and I was impatient.” She argued, pulling herself up off the bed. She stopped as Dylan’s arm came out and she felt his hand grasp at hers. She flopped back down again and stared at the floor. I won’t say sorry, she thought stubbornly to herself.

“Impatient?” Dylan’s voice was softer this time. His hand still clasped around hers.

“To see our son. Again. We need to think up some names.” She said absently. Beka handed a flexi to Dylan and lay down on the bed next to him, not much caring for personal space. Anyway, they had been a lot closer than this before.

“There you go. That’s your baby.” She said and promptly fell asleep. Dylan lightly kissed her forehead and smiling to himself he looked at Beka’s flexi on which he could see his son.

Marika watched in the shadows, her face contorted in anger as she realised that she had another obstacle to overcome if she wanted her husband back. That woman would die.

Something is actually going to happen in this story now, well that’s the plan... I never got though why the same actress played the black hole/Marika as played Andromeda’s sister-ship. Did they run out of actresses?
