Part One

John Crichton watched as his daughter Arianna once again took D'argo in a game of old maid, he laughed as his daughter giggled and smiled at the luxan, that smile reminded him of Aeryn's, as a matter of fact the only way he knew for sure there was a little of him in her was, her eyes and her quick wit, everything else was Aeryn. Her long braided raven hair swung back and forth as she laughed at D'argo's playfully furious face. John walked towards them "When you gona give up big guy?" John smiled, lifting his five year old daughter up, taking her seat and placing her on his lap.

"She's to good." Zhaan the beautiful Delvian priestess said as she walked onto Moya's command.

"Yes I can see the little one is smart, I wonder if she gets that's from her mother's side of the family." D'argo grinned an eye raised.

"No I kick butt, that's from Mom's side." Arianna said with a shrug.

"See she gets her smarts from me." John smiled above her head.

"Mom calls it being a smartas..mm" John placed his hand over her mouth muffling the rest.

"You got to learn to stop listening in, when you shouldn't" He reprimanded her.

"How else am I suppose to know what's going on?" She smiled looking up at John.

"You'll find out what you need to know." Aeryn Crichton said as walked onto the command, after hearing the whole conversation from one of Moya's corridors, she kept herself from laughing, her daughter was right she had called John a smart ass on occasion. She scooped Arianna off John's lap. "I believe you should have been in bed already." She looked at John, who smiled. quickly and turned back to D'argo who was avoiding eye contact.

"Zhaan will you tell me a story again, about the Goddess?" Arianna asked.

"Certainly, but only if you quick about getting into your sleep wear." She smiled.

"I'm outta here guys." Arianna smiled as she took off to do what Zhaan asked.

Zhaan smiled to the others, " I shall find a story to put her straight to sleep." She knew how cranky Arianna could be if she didn't get enough sleep, rather like her father Zhaan thought.

"John, she was suppose to be in bed an arn ago." Aeryn said taking a seat next to her husband.

"Oh, it's just an arn." He shrugged, hoping Aeryn would let it go, but he knew better, when it came to Arianna, Aeryn was determined to do everything right.

"She needs her sleep, you can never say no." Aeryn shook her head smiling. "You as well." She looked at D'argo.

"Well, I think I should sleep as well." D' argo said getting up making a quick get away.

"Ok, I'll make sure she goes to bed on time." John smiled as Aeryn looked at him. "What can I say I have a thing for radiant Goddesses." He pulled her in to a kiss. His lips traveled down her neck and his fingers found the zipper of her leather jacket.

"John" She grabbed his hand. "Not here." She giggled.

"Right." He swept her up from her seat into his arms. "Our chamber, my goddess." He grinned as hurried towards their room.

John laid her gently on the bed and hovered above her for moment before he leaned down to kiss her. She grasped his head between her hands and kissed him back. He began once again to unzip the her leather Jacket and she assisted him covering his hand with hers. She pushed him back and threw off the leather jacket. Once she tore off the jacket, he pulled her up and their lips met once again as they kneeled on the bed.

"John." She whispered his name as she leaned her head back to allow him access to her neck and no sooner had she brought her head up, did a blaring alarm go off from Moya's command.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding." John mumbled against her throat.

"I don't think so." Aeryn said scrambling off the bed and grabbing her jacket.

"Man, it's like the universe has homing beacon on us when we're about to makelove." He said following her out to the command.

By the time they arrived at the command Zhaan and D'argo where already there. "What's up?" John asked.

"There is prowler outside." Pilot supplied.

"Well, Chianna's on Tayln and the rest of us are here, So I'm going to assume it's not mine." Aeryn said moving closer to the view window on the command.

"There are two sebeceans on board." Pilot replied as he masterfully went over Moya's controls.

"Peacekeepers found us, what a surprise." John said with a sideways grin.

"They are requesting permission to board Moya." Pilot looked up at them.

"No freakin way." John answered quickly.

"We'd better get down to the bay." D'argo said holding his luxan sword at his side.

"There is a communication coming from the prowler." Pilot said as he listened intently to Moya.

"What?" Aeryn asked.

"What do you mean what? Let's go before they show up here on the command." John said shaking his head at her.

"The communication says, sister shadow." Pilot answered.

"Codes, great." John laughed.

"Crichton let's go." D'argo said.

"Right behind you." John started to follow him, but stopped at Aeryn's words.

"Pilot tell them to dock." She said quickly.

"Are you outta your mind." John grabbed her arm.

"No." She said and then took off towards the bay. John and D'argo right behind.

Aeryn watched as the bay door opened in front of her.

"Aeryn." John shouted running towards her to pull her back into cover with him and D'argo, but the door had opened and Aeryn had stepped through to the two waiting peacekeepers, John brought up his gun and so did the other male peacekeeper.

"Alana." Aeryn said in surprise and shock.

"Aeryn." The female peacekeeper with similar looks to Aeryn smiled.

Aeryn turned to John. "Put the gun down, this is my sister." She smiled and headed for the Alana, hugging her.

"You heard her Braden." Alana said to the other peacekeeper still holding the gun as well.

"I thought I would never see you again." Aeryn said as her sister's shoulder.

"When Crasis said you were contaminated, I thought I would never see you either." Alana said pulling back. "It's good to see you big sister." Alana smiled with the same eyes as Aeryn's, her hair was slightly lighter then Aeryn's, but there was no mistaking they were sisters.

"Ah Aeryn, could I see you?" John said curiously.

"Be right back." Aeryn said to Alana as she walked over to John.

"What?" She looked at him, her sister was here, that's all she wanted to think about right now.

"When exactly did you get a sister?" John said eyebrows raised.

"I've always had a sister." She said, she had just never told him. "John I thought she was dead, I thought I would never see her again. I wanted to forget." She explained, hoping he would understand why she hadn't told him.

"You and I have to talk." He said and then looked at her for a moment. "Later, introduce me to your sister."

She smiled.

A half arn later they were all seated on Moya's command.

"Ever since you were consider contaminated, my loyalties haven't been with the peacekeepers." Alana said as she looked at her sister.

"They've been with us." Braden said, his dark blue eyes holding Alana's face.

"Who exactly is us?" John questioned.

"We are an underground movement against the peacekeepers." Braden supplied.

"Peacekeepers against peacekeepers." D'argo huffed.

"A bunch of yutz." Rygel supplied, curiosity at what was going on awoke the hynerian from his sleep.

"It's true." Alana defended.

"I believe you." Aeryn said taking her sisters' hand.

"Aeryn." John was about to warn, when a small voice interrupted them.

"Mommy, what's going on?" Arianna looked at her mother from the corridor of Moya.

"Arianna come here." Aeryn beckoned her daughter.

"Am I in trouble for being out of bed?" She asked expecting to be.

"Well you shouldn't be, but I have someone I want you to meet, but we will take about bed later." Aeryn said as she stood up and lead Arianna over to Alana. "Alana, this is my daughter Arianna, Arianna this is my sister Alana."

"Cool, an Aunt." Arianna beamed. "See I miss stuff when I'm a sleep." She said hands on hips, looking at her mother smiling.

Aeryn smiled and widen her eyes playfully, "I'll make sure you awake next time."

"Aeryn, she looks like us, when we were kids." Alana bent down to look at her niece. "No wait, your prettier." Alana smiled.

"Thank you, are you going to stay here?" Arianna asked.

Alana looked at her, "I don't know." She said honestly, right now she didn't know what she was going to do.

"By the Goddess." Zhaan said and everyone turned to look at her.

"What?" D'argo asked concerned.

"Prowlers." Zhaan said as she looked out of the view window.

"Several to be exact." Pilot supplied.

"I told you this was a bunch of yutz." Rygel said as he hovered over to the view window.

"You want to tell us again, who's side your on?" John asked angry.

Alana looked at her sister, "I didn't do this."

Aeryn wasn't sure what to believe, she looked at John.

"Fine, help us then." John looked at Alana, waiting to see if she would help them defend themselves from the incoming prowlers and peacekeepers.
