get Donald. But first Carter, you better tell your friends what's happening. I don't think all of them got really good eavesdropping posts. They're all trying so hard to look like they're not listening, they might have missed something."
Hadtec's head snapped back around at the same second as Karecats' did. Marseena swept out of the bar waving a hand at Hadtec and Karecat as she passed. "He's all yours, but don't keep him too long. We've got a family meeting to hold."
After the first round of congratulations, Arthur suggested that after their family meeting they all come back to the station bar. "We'll put together a real congratulations party for all of you."
Karecat added "I'll even see if I can straighten out Tar'c's problem with the dancing cake."
"Sounds good to me," said Carter. I'll ask the others and call, they may all want to come and make a big party out of it."
A question had been bothering Hadtec since he first heard Carter's relieving news. "Carter, I'm glad you don't have to decide between space and marriage. But if you had to, what were you going to decide?"
For a moment Carter just looked at Hadtec, then he smiled. "See you at the party in a couple of hours. Bye."
As Carter walked away, a very confused Hadtec turned to Arthur. "Does that mean he is going to tell me later at the party what he was going to decide?"
"Possibly," answered Arthur, "but I doubt it." Then Arthur smiled, "You tell me Hadtec, which do you think he should have done?"
Hadtec thought about that one for a long time.
