[Lovebite]

A couple months passed, at first in apprehension of someone finding them, and soon they got settled again in the small, personal labratory Nori had for her work. They had begun actually building the ship now from the sketches and models they had drawn at the house. It was coming together now, in good timing as well, since Beck wasn't getting any smaller as the days and weeks went on. The eggs were growing and the shells were hardening as they approached the delivery date, though Nori wasn't worried. With the precautions she had taken for the human, the due date could be prolonged for a while until the offspring seriously needed to come out. So she let Beck rest and eat and content himself with whatever he felt like doing, while she worked on the ship in his presence sometimes, other times just working alone to the sound of music. She had almost forgotten how great of a work space she had hidden away on the edge of town. Though it was a bit difficult to keep her co worker calm about housing two government fugitives in his cellar. He hadn't met Beck yet, and she's been trying to keep the fact that she actually was harboring a human a secret between only herself and Beck. But she knew that soon enough, Tioni would find Beck and he would have questions that she wouldn't know how to answer.
