Allegra stopped and jumped down. The girl was spirited and knew exactly who she was. She was the perfect mix of Andros and Alicia. She ran to the door and opened it up to see her dad, of course she didn't know him too well at all. She folded her arms over her little chest. "Who are you? Auntie Piper! Uncle Erebus! Some strange dude is here!! Want me to kick him away?" She yelled in. The little girl had more balls than she had brains.
Piper grabbed the door and opened it wider. "Legra... Go sit with your mommy over there. I will see whats going on." She swatted at the little girl's buttom which sent the girl laughing towards Erebus. She jumped up and clung to his arm and began swinging again. She looked up. "Dear God you look like someone I used to know way back when! Come on in Andros. I just made a pot of coffee. Do you still take it black?"

Andros immediately knew who the girl was. He could see Alicia in her as well as himself. He remained quiet though. Not sure what to say. What did one say when seeing their child that they had not seen in years? In so long in fact the child had no clue who you were.
"Yes. Black please." Andros replied calmly. He felt a bit weird but giddy as well. He slowly removed his bag as he stepped in. The house seemed the same but different as well. The pictures on the walls. Some old, some new. Showed the changes the children had underwent over the years.
"Strange..." He said more to himself then anyone else really.

Allegra looked over at Andros. She and Taylor were finished hanging on Erebus and wanted to investigate the new guy. Allegra hopped up on a stool near the breakfast nook and Taylor followed after her. She stared at Andros for the longest moment as if he was something alien and foreign. She pointed her tiny finger and was ready to poke him as if it would help her figure out where he came from. Taylor was watching Allegra intensely. Piper handed Andros his cup of coffee while chuckling. "You're their new experiment. You are going to have such fun..."
Alicia slowly walked in. She eyed her daughter who hadn't seen her come into the room. She was good like that. She always knew when Allegra was getting into something. "Allegra! Do not poke him! I have told you time and time again not to poke people... Its not polite." Allegra froze and looked at her mother. Alicia was looking at Andros then went for the coffee pot and poured another cup for herself.
When Alicia wasn't looking Allegra poked Andros and stared at him. "So who are you?" The little girl looked at him curiously. Taylor was looking at him as well.

"I'm the little blue horse man from space." Andros said calmly before taking a sip of the coffee. "Oh yeah....missed coffee...." He looked the kids over. He gave Alicia a quick glance then focused on the contents of his cup.
He took a large mouthful before he lifted his bag up. He began to pull out small packages. All wrapped in the same boring plain paper. "I brought you all stuff. Though I am afraid Erebus will be the one who truly enjoys his present." He brought different trinkets. Jewelry, toys, gadgets and technology. Stuff Erebus could use to help him make or program whatever he may be working on at the moment.
"If I may....have a word with you Alicia...outside." He motioned back toward the door. He did not like the fact that there were so many little ears about.

Allegra wrinkled her nose. "Mommy told me to never take stuff from strangers and I don't know you." She crossed her arms. She did have the old Andros' attitude when it came to things. Stubborn.
Alicia stared at Andros. She definitely not going without her coffee so she quickly fixed it to the way she liked it. "Of course you may." She took a sip of her coffee and walked towards the back door and right out.

"That is true. So then don't accept it. It's fine." Andros drained his cup quickly and put it in the sink. He then went out the way Alicia did.
Once outside he was quiet a long minute. Trying to word things in his head properly before he opened his big mouth. Finally he started after clearing his throat.
"First I would like to apologize. That is number one. So I am sorry for my actions. Second I don't expect my presence to change anything, I don't have any illusions of things being as they were. Or picking up where they were left off. It's....just good to be back."

Alicia just stared at him. She crossed her arms. She had loved Andros at one point but she was so pissed he ran off and left her to raise Allegra alone. It was hard there was no doubt about that much but she did it. She looked down at the ground a minute. "In all honesty. I don't forgive you. You left when I needed you. Our daughter has no idea who you are because how could I possibly tell her that her daddy decided to run away." She sighed and looked up at him. God it was hard to do this. She had pictured him coming back in her head a few times and every time she had smacked him in the nose a few times. "What are you talking about? Illusions of things being as they were? Picking up where we left off? What are you talking about... Seriously? You are just as confusing as you were when were dating and married... Just keep it simple. It makes things so much easier." Gawd Andros could be so confusing!!

"I didn't expect you to forgive me. I'm not asking you to forgive. I don't need your forgiveness. I apologized because I wanted to. Because I know what I did was wrong. It was crappy. I know it and had to apologize for me." Andros shook his head. It's why he could never understand women. They think everything is about them always.
"I was merely trying to explain I didn't come here under the pretense that we can rekindle things. That we were going to give it another go. No. Not at all and I'm am completely fine with that. I am not pushing for that. I'm not trying to change things or complicate things. We're on the same planet now. That's it. I'm not trying to change things.". He grew silent.
"I know she doesn't know me and I don't know her. Honestly I am glad she doesn't know me. There isn't a good thing she could have possibly learned from me back then. I was in no place to be any sort of role model." He shrugged.
"Not saying I am much better now but I understand myself a lot more."

Alicia sighed. She nodded. "Allegra should have a father figure other than Erebus... She adores him very much and a father is just as important as a mother. Plus I think you would adore her... She's a tomboy. Can beat up the boys like you can't believe. Erebus has really taught her to fight." She turned and began walking towards the door. "Come on. I'll introduce you to your daughter..." She opened the door before adding "Im glad your back." Then walked inside and too her daugher. She ruffled her hair.

Andros followed Alicia in the house. At yet another beginning. The beginning of a possible relationship with his daughter. He hated new things. Beginnings. Always made one so unsure of their self.
He closed the door and took only one step into the room. Away from the door. It felt both normal and weird to be here. Like Piper and Erebus yes. Alicia yes. The children no.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and squared his shoulders. Well....here was to new beginnings with old characters. Seemed to be the story of his life.

It was obvious that Alicia had told Allegra that Andros was her father. She stared at him then gave a mischeivious smirk. It was almost a mirror of an Andros smirk. Alicia couldn't help but hug her daughter and laugh at her. Andros' and Allegra's expressions were exactly alike. Piper walked in and laughed then she looked at Andros. "Well, good news! There's absolutely no need for a paternity test." She joked with him.
Allegra hopped down and walked up to Andros. She poked him again then again. "You're not going to go all star wars on me and be all like "Allegra I am your father!" If you do Im going to kick you." She looked at him and smirked. The girl had guts. "You're not going to leave again are you?" She asked so quietly it barely was heard.

"Yeah. I noticed. Apparently I have very dominant genes. Wait to you see Orion....don't he has anything of Summer. Well....except her personality. He is very quiet and observant like her. Always brooding." He should his head. Good thing he was a sexy b*****d otherwise it would be an unfortunate thing that his offspring looked so much like him.
He stared down at the little girl. "Hey! I'm not your nose so quit poking at me!" He was quiet as he thought over her question.
"I will stay as long as I can. Technically I have been assigned here. I go where my work tells me to. I pushed to come here and stay but if they happen to call me away. I have to follow orders. Though I am suppose to be here for good."
He looked up at the others. "I will fill you all in on the latest development later." He assured the adults. His attention was back on Allegra.
"Glad to see you have hair and teeth now. You were toothless for so long I was starting to grow concerned."

Allegra just stared at her dad. Her features were furrowed with a mix of concentration and uneasiness. "So... you're not here to see me?" It was obvious that she was displeased with his answer. She was doing an usual Andros frown and she moved closer toward her mother. "Well you better stay long enough because I want a little brother or sister! Rosie, Matt, and Taylor are all brothers and sisters. I want one for me!"
Piper busted out laughing loudly at Allegra's declaration. Alicia was rubbing her temples because of it. "The girl definitely knows what she wants!" Piper said laughing. Alicia just shook her head at her friend.
Allegra looked at her father when he made a statement about her teeth and hair. "All it means is that I can bite..."

"I am here to see you. I am here aren't I? If I didn't want to see you I could have come to Earth and simply stayed away." This was true. Earth was at least a semi big planet. A semi big planet with many other locations he could have chosen to make his base and area.
He shook his head. "Sorry. That is not going to happen. I am not here to have babies and do all that. Babies....are nice but are not for me. I have other things I am here to do."
"Heh. You could use those gums to bite before...."

Allegra frowned. She didn't understand. "But you said you were here because you are assigned here." She stared at him pouting. She wanted to be a big sister so bad. "I was a baby once. Did you not like me when I was a baby?"
Alicia looked over. "Allegra..." It was very obvious that she was warning her daughter not to push things too far. She looked at Andros. "Be careful. She has a tendency to push things too far... She's stubborn like her daddy."
Allegra furrowed her little brow as she looked at her mom and then back to her father. She wasn't happy about the situation. She stared at her father again waiting for his reaction.
