Andraste had been quiet their whole journey back to Mon Cala. She knew there were a lot of things weighing on Cregan’s mind, and she wasn’t the type to pry or force things. The encounter with his father was one that would leave anyone rattled. She was still reeling from it, and she felt her blood boiling when she had dealt with him. Andraste was worried she overstepped some boundaries when she decided to choke her father in law, but she was always one to act on impulse.
After they touched down on Mon Cala, she rose from her seat and walked over to Cregan, finally breaking the silence, “I’m sorry for what happened,” She sighed, meeting his gaze for a moment before leaning down to kiss him. Through all of their prepping and organizing, they barely had any moments to simply relax. For a few minutes, she simply said nothing, running her fingers gently through his hair, “I hope you know that I love and cherish you. You’ll never feel alienated from this family,” She managed a faint smile for him before withdrawing back.
Andraste grasped his hand and guided it over her belly, “This growing family,” She knew her child would also grow to love Cregan. She smiled again and finally made to leave the ship, looping her arm through his. Andraste never got tired of setting her sights on Mon Cala, the planet’s vast oceans always a gorgeous sight to behold.
The walk towards the shipyards was short and quick. She was surprised to see the Mon Cala King there. Andraste made her way over to him, “King Rell, what an-“
“Just….breathtaking,” He half gasped. She followed his gaze towards the ship that was now fully constructed. It was massive, and it stood proud over anything else around it. Andraste felt her jaw growing slack, her yellow eyes widening. For a moment she couldn’t say anything, seeing it absolutely complete for the first time, “You’ve truly done it,” She barely heard the Mon Cala king gasp out.
She didn’t hear the other ships beginning to descend, or the Pamratheans stepping out to see what they would be crewing for the first time. Andraste could simply reach out to weakly grasp Cregan’s hand, “That’s ours….” She said, “Let’s go home in it.”
