“So, it is possible then, for you to get pregnant?” Maddy said. “I mean, we’re different species and it’s not like it’s guaranteed it will work.”
“But I never get tired of trying!” Sirena said.
“We decided to give it a try,” Bianca said. “I had some tests done and they’re going to keep a close eye on me. But it looks like the baby’s going to be fine. Better than fine. Do you guys want to see a picture?”
Did we? We fought over who got to look at the picture first.
It was strange, looking at that image. It was an alien—to us and both its parents. It was half human and half Titan and one had never been born before.
Our species had mostly the same characteristics. I wondered what the kid would look like.
It would be beautiful, I decided. There was no doubt in my mind of that. All you had to do was look at the kid’s parents and it was obvious it couldn’t be ugly.
The thought of having babies with my friends and seeing them grow up together, play together, and maybe even dating each other made me feel giddy with excitement.
There was a lot to look forward to in the future.
“Have you guys spoken with anyone from home?” Alice said.
No’s all round.
“What about fiancé?” Alice said. “Have you explained to him that you’ve found someone else?”
“Someone hotter, sexier, richer, and much nicer and more interesting,” Maddy said.
I snorted, but it was true, wasn’t it?
“Yes,” I said. “I sent him a letter. I explained I’m alive and well and that he doesn’t need to worry about me. I told him I don’t think we should get married and I hope he finds someone he loves and has a long and happy life.”
“Ease up on the emotions, why don’t you, jees,” Sirena said.
“What did he say?” Alice said.
“He said he’s glad to hear I’m okay and that everyone was really worried about what happened to us,” I said. “They never found any sign of us when we got taken. He said he’s met someone else and they’re planning on getting married next year.”
“That’s a relief,” Bianca said. “At least he’s not going to be mourning over losing you forever.”
“Or for very long at all,” Alice said. “It’s a bit of a rush, don’t you think? I mean, Hazel’s only been gone a couple of months.”
“May I remind you,” Vicky said, raising her glass again for it to be refilled. “Hazel is getting married and it’s the same timeline. In fact, it’s shorter. She’s been asleep for most of it!”
Sirena nudged her with an elbow.
“I know,” I said. “I’m not bothered. I’m much happier now. I want him to find someone. And it’s a strange thing, but when I met Fiath it was like I—”
“Knew he was the right one for you,” Bianca said.
“Exactly,” I said with a grin.
We all shared the same knowing smile. I was so glad the others understood what I was going through.
“It still gives me shivers though,” Sirena said.
She visibly shivered and rubbed her arms with her hands as if she felt a sudden chill.
“What does?” Maddy said.
“Thinking about that light,” Sirena said, “the bright one that sucked us out of the minivan and abducted us. I still get nightmares about it.”
