Mission: Episode 99 - Exordium / Epilogue
Location: Ross Quarters
Timeline: MD01 0735 hrs

Freya had just finished Hope's first feed of the working hours of the day, with a happy baby now snoozing and both Ariana and Kaden out early doing their duties she was surprised when the door chime rang. "Come in!"

"Hey gorgeous!" Andy walked into the Ross quarters, taking a quick look around the surroundings as he walked over to where Hope was sleeping. "So this is the little cutie I've been hearing so much about huh?"

"That's her" Freya nodded. "We're fostering her temporarily until her family can be found."

"So that husband of yours ever gonna get around to giving you that kid you always wanted?" He looked at Freya curiously, studying every emotion that she gave off.

"You trying to out counsel the counsellor Andy?" Freya looked at her ex-boyfriend curiously. "What brings you to see me anyway?"

"Oh just thought I'd drop by is all" He sat on the arm of the sofa.

"Oh come on Andy!" Freya stood with her arms folded across her chest. "There's more to it than that and you know it. Is there something you need to talk about?"

"You always were the perceptive one Frey" he nodded. "I'm afraid I've been a bit of a smart mouth."

"Not again Andy!!" Freya shook her head. "What did you do this time? I'm guessing you want my help in digging yourself out of trouble...again?"

"Well they'd only send me to see the Counsellor so I thought I'd bypass the order and come here first!" He grinned. "So Counsellor...where do you want to start?"

"Well I'd like to start in my office in a couple of hours!" She gave Andy a stern look. "Counselling sessions do not take place in my quarters, so I'd appreciate it if in future you come there for my advice and not here."

Andy gave her a peculiar look before a wide smile crossed his face. "Yes Ma'am! Your office in two hours it is!"

"Thank you" Freya nodded. "You're still a friend Andy but I have Hope to think of and I know Kaden wouldn't like it if he knew you were here."

"Ah Kaden!" He nodded and grinned a wry grin. "He's the seriously uptight sort isn't he? The a-typical tough marine, built like a brick outhouse!"

Freya nodded. "One of the many reasons why I like him." She smiled. "Don't forget who you're talking to Andy, I'm a marine too and we marine's stick together."

Andy stood raising his hands. "Whoa there Petty Officer Ma'am!" He grinned as he made his way towards the door. I'll see you in your office Counsellor."

Nodding Freya watched him go as the doors closed behind him. Little did she know just what Andy was planning for the future and just how much if it he planned her to be a part of.
