Rebecca leans on him. "I thought it was just like Hala. She's not sad all the time."

"Poor Ana."

Joanna kicks in her sleep. Ana whimpers awake.

"Mmm?" she says confusedly, altparentsward.

He gets rid of the Muffling spell. "You okay?"

"It's spring."

" - it's always spring for Hala and she seems pretty okay?"

"Yeah she's lucky. I should have been, my parents don't spring as bad as I do."

"You look miserable."

"There's babies in the house, I'll be okay. First couple days are the worst. But not by enough that it's not a pretty good deal to only have to do three months in a row." She kisses Joanna's hair.

He squeezes Rebecca. "...okay. Were there - babies in the house when you first -"

Nod. "Will it get better once you're married and have your own?"

"Yeah. Sometimes I think I might be cut out to be a surrogate? Most people find it outrageously traumatic but sometimes I think I'd be fine if I were just pregnant even if it wasn't mine and I had to give it to its parents after. Scary to try it though, you can't really change your mind."

"If I'm ever hurting for money for some reason, well, international market you can make a lot of money, surrogating while green, even if you aren't providing gametes." Sigh. Snuggle.

Michael hugs Rebecca. "Okay."

Permalink

"Do you need me out of the way?"

Permalink

"No, no, we just want you to be okay."

Permalink

"Okay. I'll just - hang out here till she wakes up and get her dressed and bring her to breakfast then?"

And they leave Joanna and Alien Joanna be.
