[SRR Aylhr]
Sitting in medbay, the eldest daughter of the Hoth house felt
conspicuous. Her half-rihan features setting her apart from the other
crew being given physicals. And hers was for something more than just
routine checkups.
As the medical officer scanned her, she answered his questions quietly.
"About 4 months now."
"My husband."
"The Grimstorm"
"No, he doesn't."
And always the medical officer just nodded. Eventually he put down the
scanner and looked satisfied. "Well, au are indeed 4 and a half months
along, and everything is progressing normally. au know, au are the second
officer I have checked with today who is pregnant, about the same time
along. It appears that there is an epidemic of children about to appear
among our ranks." he chuckled as t'Hoth got off of the examining table.
"Anything I should be concerned with?" The medical officer shook his
head. "Just eat more, and lighten up the workload a bit. Au are a bit
stressed. Nothing to be concerned with, but take it easy."
she slowly nodded as he handed her the readouts, for her review. It
looked normal, considering her half-bred standing. Subconciously she
played with the ends of her red hair as she left medical to return to her
quarters.
Sitting down at her console, she checked for mail. Again, nothing.
As she laid back onto her bed, a little sigh escaped, worry for her quiet
spouse.
