Chapter 1 - She's pregnant?

Billy's eyebrows shot up and his jaw dropped and his brain fizzled out for a few moments as he tried to process what she had said. Unfortunately, every time it reset it came back to the 'She's Pregnant' before having to reset. Eventually he was able to speak, "Pregnant? Huh? What? How?"

To put it bluntly his brain decided now was a good time for not just needing a reset to a total derailment of his train of though. It was rather obvious that he was trying to understand what she was saying but his utter and complete confusion was coming across the link. Satasha couldn't help but smile since she was feeling his confusion. What he really thought she wasn't sure since it felt like his brain had collapsed.

Billy finally closed his eyes and took a deep slow breath before using a technique an instructor taught him to slow his thoughts down. It took him some time but he finally calmed enough to think about what she had said. To be honest much of what he was feeling was simple shock. Even with what the doctors had been telling him about the genetic changes it had all been theoretical. Most of the rest of his thoughts were pride and joy. There was a definite feeling of 'I am a real man' in there as well. It was silly but Billy had felt it with both of his girls and it showed.

Satasha had settled on the bed as he was trying to calm his mind down. It was a rather odd sensation since it almost felt like he was shutting down sections of his mind. It took him some time but finally his mind was calm and somewhat back to normal. She was pleased that he would be able to talk with a semi-rational train of thought. Well until she caught the bit with 'I'm a real man now' and almost clawed him. Before she did Satasha caught the memories of when his former mate had been pregnant. When that crossed his mind her eyes softened slightly.

Satasha knew just how much Billy had cared for his former mate. Even though he was moving past it his sense of loss was always going to be with him. Satasha knew he did love her and cared for her but there was always going to be part of him which belonged to Danielle. It was something Satasha hoped she never had to experience. With Billy, she wouldn't but she might come to care for a lover close to what he cared for his former mate. The idea of losing someone like that did scare her.

Billy opened his eyes and looked at her and a wide smile was plastered on his face, "I am so happy for us. God I can't wait to see our baby." He could feel her irritation with his thought and snickered at her, "Only real men can get women pregnant you know. If the parts are not original items dey can't do dat. There for I am a real man..." He winked at her just for good measure.

Satasha actually growled at him and it was obvious she thought he was teasing her which he was to an extent. She could feel his happiness and pleasure though and she softened again. Since they were alone she settled down on his good side and leaned against him and let her worries show in her mind. *I am scared Yilly. Some is the idea of carrying and bringing into this world a new life. Some is what the child will look like. I am so scared even though I am pleased as well.*

Billy wrapped his good arm around her and pulled her close, "Tasha I love you and will be here through whatever happens. I, personally, assume there is a reason for this though I've no idea why. We are not fertile with each other yet look at what we have been blessed with. I don't know if it is from your deities or one of ours but it isn't something random."

He turned his face towards her and rubbed his cheek with hers before gently nibbling her jaw and ear, "Now why don't you..." What he was going to say was interrupted by a chime for entrance.

"Ambassador Madlax, Lt. Commander Verzilon I am Shion senior priest of Vartra. I wish to speak to you for a few minutes. May I come in please?" The priest didn't enter the room until they said he could. It would be wrong if they were still talking or dealing with what they had found out.
