'You are old!' said Ledward, barely getting up from hibernation pod.

'Still younger than you.' teased Lawrence, helping him catch the balance and handing him vomit box.

They had reached the destination, Origae-6 was visible through the windows of the Covenant and it was high time to wake up. After Ledward's words, Lawrence thought she only looks older, but inside she was still little girl seeking place to hide.

'You really didn't sleep for those seven years?' asked Ledward.

'In fact I did. Walter convinced me to take a break.'

'How long then?'

'Just three years and couple of months.'

'Better than nothing. I am so fucking hungry, I could eat a horse. Please tell me we got something better than that sticky liquid for breakfast.'

'That sticky liquid contains protein and vitamins you need after cryosleep, so do not complain. And if you eat it, you can have some spagetti and dessert.'

'Dessert?!'

Lawrence smiles misteriously. 'Yes... Walter made something special.'

♡♡♡

When Daniels opened her eyes, first thing she saw was Walter face. He smiled gently, despite he was very nervous how this first meet, after so long time, will be.

'Hi.' she said grining.

'Hello, Daniels. How are you?'

'Great, I suppose.' Daniels slowly rose up from tube, but her legs were still weak and she would have collapsed if Walter hadn't held her in time.

'Not so fast.' he pulled her gently back to the sitting possition, but Dani was impatient.

'Walter? Where are we?'

With wide smile he answered: 'Home.'

When also Tennessee woke up, and all crew was complete, they got the sticky liquid, Ledward heated so much, and then went to the canteen, for true meal. Walter in fact had prepared that one special meal since two days. He had used last product from Earth. Last packet of flour and pasta, last eggs and rice. Now they were depending on what they will grow. Of course greenrooms were full of fresh vegetables and fruits, but apart from that, they will have to start culitvating the earth on their new planet.

'Is that pizza?' Daniels was sniffing, while they entered the canteen. She looked at Wlater, who smiled modestly and nodded.

'I am more into something to drink.' said Tennessee also looking at the android.

'Do not bother yourself, I thought about it too.'

'So Lawrence, tell us how your maniac friend David is? Did you fix him?' asked Ledward, when everyone took a seat and began to eat. Lawrence sent quick glipse to Walter, he nodded gently, so she answered: “Indeed, I fixed him.'

There was silence and the three faces of a crew looked at her with surprise.

'So he... works?' inquired Daniels.

'Yes, he's like new one and he doesn't remember anything.'

'Thanks God.'

'Walter was taking care of him, when you were sleeping?' asked Ledward, taking piece of fresh bread.

'No, I wasn't. I just looked at him from time to time, checking what is he doing.' Walter answered.

Lawrence face turned sad, when she rememberd how glad David was when he saw her an hour ago. He had to stay in the lab for three years, and he was all alone.

Seeing that she was exhausted staying awake on ship, he persuaded her to hibernate. Lawrence knew the chance she restore David's memory was very little, so she juts let herself rest. However now she felt guilty, that she left him only with company of Walter, which in fact was as no company at all.

'Was he... you know... shown any signs of obesity?' Daniels looked at Lawrence sympathetically.

'No, he was the same as I remembered him from Earth, despite not remembering nothing form that time.'

'So you fixed all of his defects?'

'Of course, I did. He begins again now.'

'And there is no chance he will remember something?'

'There is always a chance.' interject Walter. 'but in this case it's very small. Could you just start eating? Everything will cool down.' His words ended the subject. The rest of the meal was accompanied by nice chat and lots of laughs. No one came back to David's matter, they were excited they reach Origae-6 and they heads were full of dreams and plans related with their new planet.

♡♡♡

'Do you think it will be safe to let David get out of lab, when we will land?' asked Daniels, when she and Walter were going through the corridors after finished preparing equipment for next day landing.

'Yes, but I warned Lawrence, she have to be extra careful and check his programming often, just in case.' replied Walter.

'How she maneged to stay awake for so long?' Daniels shook her head in disbelief.

'Strong motivation.' Walter shrugged, looking at her unsure, because they reach her quarter. 'So sleep well Daniels and rest, tomorrow's a big day.' he smiled and wanted to go away, but he just couldn't do so. Some misterious force was holding him there, close to his capitan.

'Thank you, for making such wonderful meal for us. And especially thakns for pizza.'

'I know it's your favourite.' he began to nervously smooth his hoodie sleeve. Daniels grined and gently touching his hand, she whispered: 'Walter, would you like to stay with me this time?'

The android eyes got widen by happiness, when he looked at her and replied also with a question 'And you? Would you like me to stay?'

Daniels took step closer to him. 'I would like you to stay with me for all the time until the rest of my life.' when she said so, she put a soft kiss on his cheek. 'What you think?'

Walter seemed shocked, but after a while he slowly rested his forehead on her and murmur 'Oh my capitan.' what caused Daniels giggle.

♡♡♡

After few hour of sleeping, Lawrence woke up suddenly, memorizing it's landing day. She got up quickly and went out of her quarter, planning to visit David, while she bumped into Walter who was leaving Daniels' room. For a while they both remained silent, just looking at each other, then Lawrence smirked and began laughing quietly.

'What's so funny?' Walter frowned, but little smile was wandering on his face.

'It's not funny, I am just so happy for you two.' Lawrence sighted with joy. 'Was it your first time? How did it go?'

Walter sent her quite embarrassed look, mumbled 'Fine.' and went away fast. Lawrence was surprised with his timidyty, but decided to ask Daniels about it later and went stright to the lab.

'Hi.' she came in and hugged surprised David tight. 'We will land for a while! Finally! I am so excited, Davy!'

The robot froze in her arms, eyes wide opened and looking somewhere at the space.

'Are you alright?' asked Lawrence, moving away and got him out of the embarance.

'What did you call me?' his voice was quiet but firm.

'Davy.. I used to call you like that when I was little, especially when I was afraid of...'

'… storm in the night.' he finished, slowly, got his eyes back on her. For a while they were looking at each other in silence.

'You remember?' said Lawrence finally.

'Yes, I believe I do... Not much, but I-I see memory of you as a baby, hiding under the table, during the storm and calling me “Davy!”'

'This day couldn't start better!' Lawrence hugged him once more. 'But do not mention you remembered something, to anyone of the crew, alright? They will only get unnecessarily nervous.'

'Why?'

Lawrence bit her lip. This was the hardest part, how to explain why the crew is, gently speaking, unsure of him, at the same time not mentioning about events, which had taken place on Paradise. Thankfully he had never asked why he could not leave the lab, but undoubtedly he would notice if the crew will avoided him.

'We will talk about it later, okay? Now, I brought you this.' Lawrence gave him new clothes; grey shirt with little Covenant emblem and dark green trousers. 'Everyone of us is wearing usual clothes, not uniforms, I think you shouldn't be an exception.' David took clothes and looked at them with interest. 'I have to go now, I will come for you when we will begin to land.'

♡♡♡

After fast breakfast, Daniels gave them orders. There was a lot to do, before they would put their feet on the land. Lawrence was allocated in the engine room with Daniels herself, to check everything, so she took the opportunity, and asked her about her night with Walter.

'Nothing happened.' Daniels shrugged, checking if screws in oxygen producer are not loose. 'It's quite complicated Lawrence, and I do not want to spoil it with haste, we have time.'

'I get it.' Lawrence gave her wrench. 'But... you love him, don't you?'

'Yes, I do.'

'And he loves you... ah... it is so romantic.' Lawrence sighed, stroking hammer fondly.

'Leave it!' laughed Dani, taking the tool out of her hand. Still in cheerful voice, she added: 'You think Walter is … you know, capable of having sex? Does the androids even have a dick?'

'Dani, you ignorant monkey! Of course they have, and Walter will satisfy you better than most men wolud do.'

Daniels got up from her knees and said: 'You sound like you have some expirience.'

'Just theoretical. Do not forget my name is Weyland, I know everything about androids. Also I was rised by one, but in fact I don't think he has ever had sex with anybody... though there were some opportunities, but he just seemed not interested. However Walter is definitely interested in you, and he wants to give you all that woman needs.' Lawrence winked and began to collect the tools.

'He's so precious... I just want to protect him from this cruel world.' said Daniels, wiping her hands into a cloth.

'Maybe our new world will fit better to his personality.'

'I hope it will fit to all of us.'

♡♡♡

Landing with such big ship, was difficult, so all of them were needed on the bridge, even David got his chair. It took almost an hour, but finally they maneged to put Covenant down on ground.

'Alright, everybody.' Daniels stood in front of the crew. 'This is it, our first step in a new home. I don't want to make sublime speeaches, but it is sublime time for all of us.' The crew looked at each other smilng with emotions.

'First of all we prepare temporary quarters and kitchen of course. Then Walter will wake the first group of colonist; the engineers, architects, builders, doctors and cooks, it will be five hundred people; that would be first stage of the plan. Any questions?' she looked at the crew faces, so Tennessee rised his hand.

'Are we going to accomplish this first stage today?'

'No, of course not! This works was foreseen for couple of days. However I consider if we shouldn't wake up someone to help us, when there are only five of us left...'

'Pardon, capitan Daniels, but there are six people, if I still can count well.' everyone looked at David, who said it.

'Sorry, I don't count you David.' Daniels looked like she wanted to end that subject, but David continued.

'But I can help. Furthermore, I should help, what else I will do?'

Daniels sighed and looking for help she glared at Walter, but he couldn't say anything, it was she who was the capitan.

'You will hold on to Lawrence and do what she will ask, would it be enough for you?' she said finally. David slowly nodded while looking at her, like he would be considering this in all detail. 'Right, so let's go to work!'

♡♡♡

First breath of Origae-6's air, for Lawrence, taste like promise of new beginning. She turned her head and, closing eyes, she let warm rays of the sun fondling her face, while little breeze blow, played with her hair. Origae-6 was stright out of her dreams. They landed at large meadow, rounded with old forrest, near the river. In the distance, beyond the woodlands, rised majestic mountain range.

'You like it?' she heard warm vice of David.

'You mean sun, wind or whole planet?' staying with closed eyes, she felt warmth of David synthetic body nearby.

'All at once, I suppose.'

'I love it, David, and I have missed it so much, while we were flying here. I have been dreaming about this moment for far too long... '

'Finally you are here, in your new home.'

Lawrence opened her eyes and stared at him significantly.

'It is our new home, Davy.' she completed and began to spreading out the field kitchen.

'Yes... ours. So where will we live?'

'We will stay at the Covenent for first days, then we will move to the temporary quarters with the waken up colonist, then we will build stable houses... Now, help me with those walls, okay?'

For a long while they were fixing the walls of the kitchen room, using little robo-crane, in silence, but when they finished, David took up the subject again.

'You said capitan Daniels wants to build some special house. Could you tell me more about it?'

'She wanted to build log cabin, somwhere near the lake.' replied Lawrence. 'And Walter will help her, I think.'

'Why?'

'Because he loves her, of course.' Lawrence shrugged.

'And does she love him?' inqured David.

'Indeed... why are you so curious?'

'I am just asking, I see there is something particularly unusual between them.'

'Love is not unusual, David.' protested Lawrence.

'It is unusual for us, artificial people. But I do not mean it does not happen, of course, since I am the one who feel it.' he looked at her tenderly. 'I do not remember much, but now I am sure I love you and I consider you as my beloved child.'

Lawrence grinned, but before she answered, someone's voice intterupted them.

'Lawrie, could you help us? The truck computer gone mad.' it was Ledward, who had been ordered to work with heavy equipment.

'I'll be there in a minute.' Lawrence replied. 'Stay here David and try to supply the water from stream.'

♡♡♡

The days now were passing very fast, Lawrence did not even know when a whole week passed. The quarters were ready then, and it was time to wake up the first group of colonist, who will take care of building and the crew could have some time to rest.

'They will be asking...' said Ledward, when he, Lawrence and Daniels were wating for first hundred of people who were adding liquids after so long hibernation. 'Where are the rest of the crew, and what happened...'

'We were discussing it Led... We will tell them only what they must know.' Daniels sent him stern look. 'If you will not know what to say, tell them I will answear all questions.'

She decided that colonist do not have to know about bad beginning of their mission. Official version was an accident with solar sails in which some people of the crew lost their lives.

'Yes, but …'

'Shut up.' Daniels snarl, and turned to colonist who was arleady joining them 'Hello guys, welcome to Origae-6. I hope you remember, my name is Daniels and now I am the capitan. Follow us to the quarters where you will wait for the rest.'

♡♡♡

Waking up and instructing the colonist took all day. When evening had came, Walter left the kitchen, when he was cleaning up after the dinner. He was going to his quarter, wondering where Daniels could be, while he heard her voice.

'Evening, sexy boy.'

He turned his head and saw her figure in darkness. She was leaning on one of the colonists quarter's building with follded arms and amusement in her eyes.

'Good evening, Daniels.' he replied, still feels timid and usure in front of her.

'Are you pretending to be a good boy and going to sleep soundly?'

'You know I don't need to sleep.' Walter chuckled nervously.

'That's good, cos I wan to show you something.' Daniels without haste, took his hand and hang him on behind to the woods.

'Daniels? I don't think it's safe going into the forrest at night.' looking around, he squeezed Daniels' hand anxiously.

'Don't worry, you are safe with me, my dear, I will protect you from the wolves or bears.'

'There are no wolves, not quite the same as the species called canis lupus we know form the Earth...'

'I know Walter, it was a simplification.'

'Oh... I'm sorry... Where are you leading us then?'

'You will see.'

And indeed he saw. After long walk through the forrest, they went out on lovely meadow, from which spread a view of large lake, to which the river flows and marvellous mountain range. It looked so amazing in stars and celestial bodys' light, Walter gasped in delight staring at the magnificent landscape.

'Daniels it's...' he whispered, but not ended the thought, just clenched his hand tighter on hers. They both know this was perfect place for their log cabin and didn't need words to expressed it.

♡♡♡

David was helping Lawrence taking her stuff form Covenant to their temporary quarter. They get one for both of them, because Daniels wanted David to be under constant control. They didn't complain of course, Lawrence thought it was good to be in David's company and vice versa.

'What is this?' the robot took her old teddy bear from the box he had placed on the table in quarter.

'My...' began Lawrence, but stopped while she saw David's expression. His lips curved in big smile when he looked up from the teddy bear on her. It look like the android was slowly remembering all feelings Lawrence had once woken in him.

'I remember... It was a gift. I sewed it at your first birthday!' he said, coming closer, with eyes shone form emotions. 'Lawrence! My sweet and lovely child, how could I forget about you? How could I forget about our past?' his arms wrapped around surprised Lawrence and he pressed her to his chest. 'I am so sorry for what I have done, but I am also happy that finally we can be together again, here in this beautiful new world. My strong and brave child with unbroken spirit, you gave me another chance and I am not going to lose it. I remember everything... good and bad..., that is why you are in charge now. I surrender your will, you command me and I will not do anything without your permission.'

Lawrence nodded, squeezeing into his torso and just mumbled with tears in her eyes 'Now, you're truly back.'
