Let It Be
Author's Note: Here ya go, Raven! Andy tells Beka...Please read and review, look
for another part coming soon!
Chapter Nine: Insanity
Insues
"You're what?!"
"Getting married," Andy whispered to her
cousin. It was happening all over again. Beka would get mad and Andy would say
something wrong and then they'd be apart again and Andy would have to go live
with Rafe again.
"I can't believe it! Getting married! Married! Are you
two insane? I'd always expected you to find someone nice someday and get
married, but not Harper!" Andy suddenly found herself swept up in a crushing
hug. "I'm so happy for you, Andy! Oh, I know you can make it work, and if Harper
ever hurts you I'll kill him, but he'll be good Andy, he can't help but be
good."
"You-you-" Andy stuttered, not quite able to believe what Beka was
saying. "Harper was gonna come tell you with me but Dylan Hunt needed him and
we're really sorry about getting engaged and everything-"
"What's there
to be sorry about? I'm happy for you!" Beka repeated, smiling.
"I don't
have to go away?"
"What?" Beka looked confused. Andy supposed she had the
right to be. They shouldn't have taken advantage of Beka when she was sick. Beka
probably didn't even remember that night, or what had happened leading up to
it.
"Well...I...thought you wouldn't like us getting married...at least
not so soon," Andy mumbled, head down.
"Hey, Andy. You are my favorite
cousin. Harper's my favorite engineer. Two of my favorite people, getting
married. I personally don't believe in marriage at the moment, but it's great
for you two!" Beka insisted. Andy looked at her, and decided that Beka was
telling the truth for the moment...she wasn't being sarcastic...
Andy
smiled. "Thank you, Beka."
"Hmmm...don't thank me," Beka said, grinning
and putting an arm around Andy's shoulders. "Just name your first kid after
me..."
"I feel sorry for the kid if it's a boy," Harper exclaimed, having
just walked in.
"Well, look who finally decided to show up," Beka said,
putting her other arm around Harper.
"I take it that it went well, since
you're not screaming at me to get out and Andy's still here?" Harper asked,
rolling his eyes at Andy, who giggled.
"Yes, it did," Beka said, and gave
Harper a kiss on the cheek. "Now you two have fun, and no sex before you get
married."
"But Beka, we--" Harper and Andy started at the same
time.
"I don't want to know!" Beka called over her shoulder as she exited
the room.
Andy and Harper looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Things couldn't have gone much better.
