Return Part 2
I know this has been a long time coming, but it finally is here!
"Open," Garibaldi called as his door chimed. He was in the kitchen
when they arrived, and a spicy Italian aroma filled his quarters. "Hi Susan,
you here to tell me you will?"
"I won't," her voice was grim as the other visitor entered his
quarters, and stepped into view. "You have some serious explaining to do
Michael, so you better get to it. Either that or I'll have you arrested,
tampering with people com messages is illegal you know."
"How'd you find out, and where the hell did you come from?" the older
man pointed an accusing finger at Marcus, and slammed his dish towel down on
the counter.
"I have access to almost all files in the computer. The only person
with higher security clearance than me is the Captain," she was angry, and he
knew it.
"Also, since I was the one who sent the messages I can access them,"
Marcus interjected.
"Shut up!" Garibaldi screamed at the bearded man.
"Marcus reacted by very obviously putting his arms around Susan's
much expanded waist stubbornly saying, "I will not."
Susan's scowl disappeared for a second as she relaxed into his
embrace, but she seemed bitter as ever when she spoke. "Michael, Marcus is
back. That's a very obvious fact, and that's important to me. I am not here
about you damn proposal, that's the last thing on my mind right now, though
the answer is a defintie no. I am here because of the messages, didn't you
think I'd find out?"
"It's nothing like that, Susan I," Michael was interupted.
"Stow it mister. Let me guess, you thought if Marcus and I couldn't
talk, I'd just put him out of my life, and marry you?"
"Something like that, yes."
"Aah, but like an idiot you forgot that abscence makes the heart grow
fonder. Especially when your dealing with your child's father."
"Indeed I had a pleasant surprise to come home to," Marcus rubbed her
stomach lovingly.
"Michael, I'n neither going to charge you, nor marry you. I've never
loved you, well maybe as a big brother, but now. How can ever trust you
again?" she blurted out before turnign around and running out. Before Michael
could say anything, the pair was gone.
