"When you find people who unconditionally take you as you are, hold onto them so very tight. They're the one that don't mind if you are having a bad day, they'll stay with you anyways. They're the ones who care about how you're really feeling even when your words are stuck inside you.
They're the people you can talk to without worrying about what they'll think; they take you as you are regardless. Make sure that whenever you find people like this, you keep them close. And whenever you get the chance, be one of them too."

"What Maya is doing in my office?" Andy shouted as she stormed into Robert's office.
"Excuse me?" Robert looked surprised seeing her reaction.
"You heard me..." She came closer and rested her hands on the chair. "She is acting captain today." He said calmly.
"Captain!!? Why? Am I sick that I don't know. Because I'm feeling pretty healthy." Andy crossed her arms. "You are pregnant Andy." He again said it completely calm because he knew this is one of her tantrums but the question was for how long he will tolerate and he was on edge.
"It's good you asked me first."
"Didn't have to, because you are not clear to work." Again he kept his calmness.
Andy started pacing around. And Robert continued to do his paperwork waiting for her to stop.
"Can you stop. It making me dizzy." He said after few minutes not looking at her.
"Is this my punishment?" She asked furious.
"What?!" He got up and hit the table with his hands. "Do you hear yourself?" He was now yelling. "For the past week you've been trying to blame me. Is it my fault?! As far as I know you need two people to make a baby. It's my fault as much is yours so stop. Just stop!!"
"I..." She froze. It was the first time he completely lost it like that.
"I was in shock as much as you were. It wasn't planned but it happened. I need to worry about two people now not just one. You had no business going into that building when they had it under control. I came... I had to find you. You never asked or wonder how I felt or how I'm doing after everything..." He got up and opened the door for her. "Just go..." He said almost breaking, on the edge of crying.
Andy saw how broken he was but her stubbornness combined with hormones weren't a good mix. She stormed outside tears streaming down. Vic saw her and immediately ran after her.
"Andy, can I come in?" Vic asked already entering her now new bunk. "You are already in so..." She said giving Vic a look wiping away the tears.
"What's going on with you? We all heard your fight? What was that about?" Vic asked sitting on the bed and Andy immediately got up and turned her back.
"I don't Vic, I don't know. It's like I'm trying to find something bad in him so I could prepare myself that he will leave me..." Supporting her head with her hands Andy finished that sentence almost breaking down.
"Oh Andy. He is not Josh. He is Robert. Your Robert. The guy you fell in love almost instantly and I never saw you happy with anyone else like that and I know you for a very long time." Vic said turning to her so Andy will maybe face her.
"But I can see something else is bothering you..." Vic teased waiting for her to crack.
"Vic..." She finally turned. "I'm pregnant..."
Vic couldn't hide surprise on her face. "Andy that's... amazing?" Vic whispered with a grimase on her face. "Is it?" Andy looked at her.
"Why wouldn't it be? He is perfect, maybe too perfect since he keeping up with your constant crap. But he loves you unconditionally and he always keep an eye on you, ever since he got here." Andy immediately had confused look.
