A. Welcome to The Ship

Arriving to the ship for the first time can be disorientating, but there are maps everywhere. A good night's sleep must have been had, because you woke up feeling fantastic. Feel free to check out the shops or restaurants... Or maybe you'd rather go for a walk around the beautiful Biodome! Whatever you decide to do, it's sure to be enjoyable.

Perhaps you woke up here already pregnant... Better check with your scientist before heading off through the ship, since your health is very important to them.

B. Surprise!

You didn't know it before, but you're now officially pregnant. What are you pregnant with? Another member of the ship's child? An alien? A monster? Whatever it is, you're going to have to explain to someone (maybe your best friend... maybe more) that you're pregnant now, and that's bound to be an interesting conversation... Good luck.

Of course, if you're really unfortunate, you might be going through a very fast nine hour pregnancy. Did you just grow bigger right in front of someone's eyes?

C. The Pregnant Life

Things certainly seem to be improving now that you're pregnant. Shops are more willing to help you and people are generally nicer. There's even that stranger who's been making eyes towards you. Well, hey, you're already knocked up with whatever's inside, so might as well go off and have some fun if that's your thing.

D. Cravings

Now you're craving something. Is it food? There's plenty of places to get food.

Something to do? Plenty of things to do around the ship! Maybe get a part time job until the baby's born?

Someone to do? Well, no one's saying you can't offer yourself up. After all, there's always someone interested in the pregnancy experience.

E. The Baby's Coming

You've got another issue to deal with now. You can feel it happening, the thing moving through your body. One small problem, though? You're not anywhere near the scientists. So someone else has got to help you out.

Better go quickly, seems like this one is moving very fast.

"I can't tell," he admits sheepishly, "I don't know what I was expecting it to feel like... but it's more little twitches. I can't tell if it's my body or..."

Somehow, he can't bring himself to say the baby. It feels like such a foreign concept in spite of him knowing very well it's the correct terminology. His hands move to rest on his hidden bump absentmindedly as his brow furrows in thought.

She tilts her head a little, considering him. "Mm... well, maybe your child is growing at a different rate?" Unlike him, Chiaki's totally okay with stating out loud what's happening to them.

"Mine seemed to grow kind of fast... nine months seems like kind of too long of an estimate, really."

He looks down at her belly and takes in the size of it, swallowing hard. Is he really going to get that big? Sure, he's been fat... but that's hardly the same thing. Not to mention when you get fat, everything kind of grows together.

"They uh, told me this will take a few weeks. They gave me an exact number but it was all kind of a blur."

Really, a lot of information had been fed to him when he wasn't quite in a state to handle it. He'd been blackout drunk when he'd signed whatever contract he'd gotten himself into.

She blinks and looks at him. "Huh. I don't remember if they told me a number..." In fact they did, but Chiaki had been too distracted by the circumstances to hear it. Nine months wasn't what they'd told her, though.

"I just know that most human pregnancies are supposed to take that long... but it felt like it's been growing a little all day."

He? She? She should really find out the baby's gender (if it has one) and start calling it by that... "it" feels too impersonal.

She shifts again on the chair, moving her large body's center of balance again and nearly falling out, catching herself with the wheel. "Mm... still not used to it, really."

"Did you want to find a more comfortable seat?" he asks, again feeling a little concern for the small woman and her sizable... er... load?

There's some guilt that he obviously isn't struggling with the body changes the way she is. Nevermind that he also has the advantage of being in peak physical condition in spite of the life growing inside of him.

"Um..." She looks regretfully back at the game, but sighs. This really isn't all that comfortable, especially with the seat digging up into her... "Okay."

She pockets the quarters and slowly stands, wobbling like a large whale of a girl, and looks around. "Mm... maybe there's a couch around here or something..."

He'll hold out an arm to help her, a kind smile on his face. There was something comforting about interacting with her, and he wanted to just... hang out for awhile.

"Let me help... er, if you don't mind."

"N-no, I don't." She gives a gentle but warm smile to him as well, taking his help gratefully and wrapping her arm around his expanded waist for support. "Thank you..."

It will take a bit of waddling until they find a seat that looks comfortable, with Yuuri trying to be a gentleman and making sure Chiaki is seated and comfortable first before he also carefully lowers himself beside her.

There's a beat or two of awkward silence before he scratches the back of his head and realizes he hasn't even given his name yet.

"Oh. Uh. My name is Yuuri."

Oops. "S-sorry!" She gasps as she realizes she hasn't introduced herself either. "I'm... Chiaki. I... guess this is sort of a strange place to meet, isn't it?"

"That's putting it mildly. I wonder if I'm still in shock. I feel anxious but, not as much as I really should be..."

His hands wander again to his belly, touching it as if it's made of fragile glass.

"I'm not sure why they wanted me. And really, the timing is pretty bad. But I guess there's something to be said for getting to experience something I never would have otherwise... I'm scared. But also a little curious."

Gently and carefully, she reaches out to touch his own belly - smaller than hers, but no less warm or firm.

"Probably because they thought you'd take care of their young... it's an enormous thing of them to ask you or any of us, and it involves quite a lot of trust. They must have decided that you were worthy."

She smiles gently at him. "It's kind of a reassuring thought, isn't it?"

It's odd having his stomach touched... but not really unpleasant. It makes a warm feeling wash over him, and he finds himself relaxing. Is it because she's a cute girl? Or would anyone else produce the same effect?

"I guess so."

He can't help it. He feels compelled to lean against her, seeking out the closeness and affection. Damn it Victor. Getting him to relish this kind of thing when he used to do fine without it.

It's a little surprising, but not at all unwelcome. She carefully drapes her arm over his shoulder, their bellies touching as they cuddle.

"It's nice to know we're useful, at least..." She yawns a little, feeling a little warm and sleepy, but comfortable. She finds herself leaning a bit closer to him still, their heads brushing together as they rest side by side.
