“Are you going to try breastfeeding?”
“I can’t. Too much metal in my veins. It would come out in the milk. Bottle for this little baby.”
“Does it bother you?”
“It hurt when I realized it, but her health is more important than my feelings.”
Geero hugged her, and she leaned against him. The baby waved her hand at them, and Ondine felt a warmth spilling through her chest. “Wow. That is...”
She pressed her fingers to the canister. “She’s so small.”
“And she’s going to be naked if we don’t get shopping.”
“Right. On the books for tomorrow. I have supplies coming to the property the day after tomorrow, so this is going to be quick.” She exhaled. “I knew she was coming, but it’s so fast.”
He chuckled. “She is going to mature just as fast. Even if she grows at a normal rate, we will still want to slow it down.”
She glanced at him and smiled. “Boy, I bet this isn’t what you had planned when you joined the BDC.”
He chuckled. “I am used for rescue and snow tactics. I needed some socialization outside of my parents’ social circle. I never expected Amadine.”
Ondine laughed and straightened. “Neither did I. When I locked eyes with her, that was her body, and I wasn’t going to go for the transfer.”
“How would that have worked?”
“If she had been empty, I would have put my consciousness into liquid metal and simply poured myself into her. But she wasn’t, so it wasn’t a big deal. I just worked harder to heal myself.”
“And now you are nearly whole, and she is nearly here.” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him.
She yawned again, and he chuckled. “You have had a bit of a day. Why are you healing yourself?”
“Um, I got some scans to see what I was supposed to have, but I don’t.” She explained the procedure and the scans then healing and more scans.
They left the baby, closed the secure room, and headed up to the large bedroom.
“So, how many bodysuits do you have?” He slowly opened her suit and eased it off her shoulders.
“Um. All of them? They are my wardrobe.”
He paused. “Do you mind if I add to it?”
“Doesn’t that go against all escort instincts?” She worked her hands out of the sleeves.
He chuckled. “Putting clothingona woman is a new idea for me, but I know a few places and have some ideas on what clothing would suit you.”
The suit was pushed down to her hips, and he kissed her shoulder.
“I usually just steal stuff from Amadine. She’s the girly one. My preference is crop tops and cargo pants.”
“Doable, but I think I can do better.” He pressed his mouth to her neck and gnawed gently.
She yelped, and her knees bent. “What the hell?”
He released her neck and nuzzled the spot he had just bitten. “That was a test. Your scent gland in your neck is working very well.”
“Wait. It unlocks my knees?”
“If I am lucky, yes.”
