Delta had always wanted to start a family, she would always speak about how she was born to be a mother. Her plans were to graduate from the university she had spent four years at and then settle down after a few months of working; the typical plan for most.

Her plans were altered once the world realised how much trouble they had gotten themselves into. They had always known deep down what their consumer habits had been doing to the health of their home, but it was never a true concern until it was too late.

No one had done studies to understand the effects of gestation under so much pressure and so little distance between the Earth's core and the host. Delta had taken a semester of research during her nursing school career, but it certainly didn't give her the full credentials to explore her interests with government funding.

She's willing to risk her own health to discover her answers, but her husband thinks otherwise.
