Ondine reinforced the cage for a few minutes with parts of the shuttle, and when she was sure the baby was safe, she connected the support unit from transport mode and brought it online. “Hey, sweetie. You just keep safe for another few weeks, and then you can charge out and take over the world.”
The baby yawned, opened and closed her eyes, and then nodded off with her limbs moving slowly.
Geero came in and asked, “Is she okay?”
“Yeah. She’s a trooper.”
“Like her mother and sister.”
“She will be her own person, and I am not going to claim any part of her. I will protect her until she grows up, which will be faster than anyone likes.”
“What?”
“How long have you been going on dates with Amadine?”
“Six months or so.”
“She didn’t give the order to add the sperm to the egg until five months ago. They did it four and a half months ago. The baby is near term. Her development is twice that of an average infant, and we need to keep an eye on her as she grows. They are bringing a pediatrician into Z-Corp just for her and some of the others that have been accelerated for the safety of the child or mother. Amadine was accelerated four times and is only now slowing development. Little Baby is worth Titan’s weight in gold. She’s tech some countries haven’t heard of yet. She’s the first canister-born omega.”
Geero murmured, “Holy shit. So, that means...”
“Baby has some of the leftover encouragement the Z-Corp team put into Amadine. It isn’t known if it will continue on through the next generation or if things will normalize.” She stood straight. “But yours was the only sperm that didn’t shred the egg. You produced gentlemen.”
Geero blinked. “Good to know. So, we work well together?”
“We play nicely together. Well, at least in a dish.” She smiled.
“I really want to see if we can try it elsewhere.”
Amadine sprinted by the door wearing jeans and a T-shirt. She yelled, “Kiss her!” as she ran past.
Geero frowned. “Where is she going?”
“She’s off to play with Lida’s kids.” She chuckled. “They know what she is and who she is. Playing with Heckler is usually a good time.”
“Heckler?”
“Yup. I claimed a name when I was recovering. I am Ondine Heckler, and she is Amadine Heckler.” She smiled. “And it will be Baby Heckler.”
He sighed. “Do you have a name?”
“I have some ideas.”
“What do you want to name her?”
She sighed. “After my grandmother. Zavadine.”
“That’s a pretty name.” He wrapped his arms around her.
“I am not sure. I think I need to wait until she’s in my arms.”
“How much longer?”
“Twenty-eight days if I choose the timing, anytime from now on if she chooses it.” She chuckled. “She might start playing with the alarm and making us run to her side. Amadine did.”
He turned her to face him and kissed her softly. “Parts of us made a baby, and we weren’t even in the room. I am going to be bragging about that for a while.”
She caught the inference and tapped his jaw with her fingers. “Fine, take the bragging rights.”
