Sitting on the ground, David was looking at Lawrence and Walter who were making the flower crowns. It felt really good to see her so carefree and relaxed, he had waited for this moment for so long.

This day all of them was carefree, the colonist took over the building, so the crew hadn't so much to do, they could rest and enjoy their free time.

Tennessee found his hidden supply of beer and delighted himself with it, in the gentle rays of the star which was their new Sun. Soon Ledward and couple of colonists joined him.

Daniels was wondering in the river stream, washing her feet and talked with Dr Mary Foylers, who was the chief medical officer. While Dani was stepping on the rocks in the water, the doctor was sitting on the edge of little slope and washed her feets too. David assumed conversation between them couldn't be really serious, though those days nothing seemedserious or disturbing. All was well and everyone was well too. He thought his girl (and maybe all those humans too) after all, deserved some peace.

He noticed that Lawrence left Walter and was approaching him, with one of the flower crowns they had made, in hand.

'What do you think?' she showed the crown to him. 'Walter taught me how to make them.'

'It is truly beautiful.' admited David with smile.

The flowers she had choosen matched each other in color and size. The robot especially liked the light blue ones, which looked alike forget-me-nots from Earth. they always were Lawrence's and his favourite flowers.

'I'm glad you like it, cos it's for you.' Lawrence giggled and place the crown on David's freshly dyed hair. 'So now you are the flower king.'

'Thank you.' David caught her in his arms and hugged thightly.

'David!' giggled Lawrence. 'I can't breath.'

'Right, I am sorry.' he loosed the hug a bit. 'So as a king what can I do?'

'Hmm...' Lawrence rested her head on his arm, wrapped around her neck. 'Maybe you could pick a name for all flowers on this planet? You have such great ideas.'

'Like the idea with your name?' he chuckled.

'Yeah, that's what I mean.'

♡♡♡

'Daniels,could you finally go out of the water?'

Dani looked up and saw Walter standing on the slope which couple minutes ago, Mary was sitting on.

'Please. It's too cool, you will get a cold.'

'Just a minute, I'm picking up the pebbles for our garden.'

'Even the cabin is not ready yet, I don't think it's time to take care of the garden.'

'Walter...you are spoiling the fun.'

'I am sorry, but I have to take care of everyone's health, especially yours, captain.' he crouched and held out a hand for her. 'Come on.'

Daniels googled and straightened up. She took Walter's hand and quickly, pushing her foot on the slope, pulled the android to the stream.

Walter fell out to the water with loud splash. The river was quite shallow in this area, so when he sat on the bottom, his head and shoulders was still above the surface. Daniels reached him, laughing hard.

'That's not funny at all,' he said, but it looked like he was fond of being the one who Daniels chose to throw into the stream.

'I'm sorry, Waltie. I couldn't resist.' She wrapped her arms around his neck and sitting on his lap, leaned her forehead agains his. 'Will you frogive me?'

'I don't know...' mumbled Walter.

She kissed him gently 'How about now?'

'I am still not sure...'

Daniels kissed him again.

'Third time lucky.' he said, grabbing her waist, when she moved away. Chuckling, Dani kissed him once more, and this time it was long and firm kiss. His arms wrapped around her tightly, so she clinged to his body and let him do what he wanted. Now it was him who took the control, he slipped down to her neck and kissed it causing lound moan from her.

'Walter!' She gasped in surprise, never thought she could be so passionate. He stopped immediately.

'Don't you like it?' he asked.

'God! I love it! Why do you stopped?'

'I thought you wanted me to stop... You called my name...' Walter smiled apologetically.

Daniels shook her head while saying 'When I call your name like that it means you musn't stop under any circumstances!'

'Is it an order, captain?' Walter smirked.

'Absolutely!' this time Daniels put a little kiss on his neck and got up. 'Come on, I think the last delivery of wood finally came to our cabin.'

♡♡♡

The weather was too perfect, to not use it, so Lawrence packed backpackand put her comfy boots on. It was another lovely and peaceful day, for all the crew and colonists.

'I'm going on an adventure.' she said to David, with whom she was passing by, when leaving their house.

'Alright Bilbo.' David smiled, reffering to one of their favourite stories. 'And I am going with you.'

'No.' Lawrence shook her head. 'There is no need you go with me. Do what you want Davy, you don't have to guard me all the time.'

'Oh really?' he seemed quite dissapointed.

'Have some fun, maybe?' Lawrence shrugged.

'I like spending time with you. However if you want to be alone sometimes I don't want to disturb, but is this really allalone adventure?' he gave her examining glare.

'What do you mean?' Lawrence frowned.

'Lawrence' he sighted patiently 'I would understand if you have some paramour. You don't have to hide him from me. I know, that as a human, you have needs...'

'David stop it.' she interrupted him. 'This is not about any guy, believe me. Otherwise I would tell you. I just want to be alone for a while. I'll be back for supper.'

'If you say so. But maybe you should consider finding some guy as you said. Maybe Ledward? He seems nice...'

'Can we talk about my love life later, mum?' Lawrence made silly face and left, leaving David alone with his thoughts.

He was worried about his beloved pupil. She was now in age, in whichmost humans find partners and started a family. Lawrence seemed happy, but it could be only externals. David wondered if such sensitive soul like hers could feel fulfilled whithout romantic love and having offspring.

Deep in those thoughts, he went outside and bumped into Walter and Daniels on their way to log cabin.

'How does it feel being left alone by your child?' asked Dani, seeing hisserious face. 'We've just seen her.'

'She is not child anymore, as she alwasy reminds me.'

'Yes, but in your eyes she will always be child, no matter how old she will be. Ain't I right?'

David nodded and his lips curved in soft smile. Seeing this, Daniels thought, for the first time, that this android could be truly goodparent for Lawrence. She was still quite unsure of him, despite the time which passed since they reached Origae-6. But at this moment, for the first time she understood Lawrence attachement to him.

Inspired by this observation, she asked:

'Maybe you will help us with our cabin? It's almost finished, we only need to fold the furniture.'

Both androids looked at her with surprise.

'If you want, of course, and have nothing else to do.' added Daniels.

'I will help you with pleasure, but I don't want to ... disturb.' David sent quick glimpse to Walter, who seemed not satisfied with Daniels'offer.

'Nonsense. If you would helps us, we will start to prepare supper for the crew faster,' the woman told. Walter just shrugged, though he would rather bear delay and spend time with Daniels only, than get help from David.

'We are going to invite all of you and celebrate completion of construction of our cabin.' Daniels explained 'So, are you comingwith us?' She smiled to David and the robot nodded, smiling in response.

There was still a lot to do. They've been working all day long, and only Daniels took a break, so she could eat something.

Walter looked at her sitting in the porch, through the window, when him and David was folding the kitchen lockers.

'How is it?' suddenly asked David.

'What?' Walter rose his eyebrows.

'How is it, being with someone in intimate relationship?'

'You mean me and Daniels?'

David nodded.

'I don't think, what we have is a traditional relationship, nor intimate... so far.' Walter confessed.

'Do not get me wrong, I am just curious about what you feel, not about the private details.'

'I think I can honestly say I am enjoying this, as much as synthetic could.'

'That sound quite emotionless.' David frowned. 'I think it is more overhelming feeling, when I remember Elizabeth ...'

'I'm not you, David. My emotions are not so complex. In fact I shouldn'thave any emotions at all. I have no idea how it's happend that I fall for Daniels... But the only thing I'm one hundred percent sure now is that I love her. ' Walter looked at his archetype. 'And that I will never stop.'

David wanted to say something more, but in that moment Daniels came back to the kitchen and they had to end the conversation.

♡♡♡

When evening came, it was time for feast. The cabin was completed andready to live in it.

'I will call Tennessee and Ledward. And also I wish to invite Mary what do you think of it, Waltie?'

'It's your party, dear. Do as you wish.' Walter smiled warmly, wrapping arm around her.

'I will go for Lawrence.' said David, little embarassed with Walter gesture.

'There is no need, I told her to come here at evening. She should arrive in a minute.' said Daniels.

But in a minute came Ledward with Tennessee, also dr Foylers came quite quickly, however Lawrence didn't show up.

'I'm starting to worry.' mumbled Daniels, when everyone got apperitif. 'Anyone of you saw her?'

'Where did she go?' asked Tennessee.

'For a trip. She likes wandering around and exploring the area.' explained David.

'You are her shadow. Why didn't you go with her then?'

'Lawrence wanted to be alone this time.'

'Hmm...maybe she had date with one of the colonist and it took little longerthan they expected?' interjected Ledward, grinning.

'No, she had not.' protested David. 'And even if, she would have never left us like that, waiting for her.'

'Oh David, forgive me but, you have no idea how it is, when someone feels the call of nature,' snorted Ledward.

'Indeed, I don't, however I do know Lawrence well and I can tell you what she would or wouldn't do. I am sure she would never let her friends be worried about her. She said she will be back for supper, and she is not here, so I think something must have happened.'

'David's right. It's not Lawrence style, to disappear without a word.' Daniels agreed with him. 'We should go and find her.'

Then Tennessee spoke, summing up everyone's thoughts: 'Yeah... but where should we start looking for her? It's quite large area to search.'

♡♡♡

Lawrence, after long and exhausting walk, was going back to the colonists' village. The dusk was covering the landscape in soft, gold light,while she was pacing the hills.

She wanted to observe the stars, and the hills was the best spot forthat, but finally she decided she will do it next time, and take David with her.

It was so weird from him, to ask her about her secret lover. He ackted like he didn't know her at all. Lawrence had never wanted anyone attenion, but his. He was the only person she cared about (maybe with the exception of the Covenant crew), and since she had got him back, she didn't have need or willingnes to start any relationship.

Burried in those thoughts, she was not paying attention where she was puttingher feet, and her left shoe stepped into a hole, twisting hard.

'Aghhh,' she cried with pain, sitting on the ground and holding her anckle. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck!' looking at her leg, she saw it was twisted unnaturally. At once she could said, it was broken. Lawrence tried to get up, but the pain was too strong to go further.

'My fucking bad luck!' she gnawned her teeth. 'What am I supposed to do now? So long way home...' keep talking to herself, Lawrence regreted she didn't take her communicator. However, she didn't remain sad long.

'I'll have to stay there, okay. But at least I can see the stars.'
