Pregnant.
Amri was pregnant.
The thought kept circulating through Zai's mind, making her giddy one moment and filling her with dread the next.
Zai hadn't thought it was possible for her to impregnate someone. The medicines she used to help her body develop its feminine traits were supposed to strip that particular ability away.

Zai was going to be a mother.

Rui came along, not that she would have chosen otherwise. It would be good to train Rui in an environment that was made for it. Finn seemed excited about training with her and Vanya remained quiet, despite having an interpreter she could speak through.
Were all Siveronians that stoic?
