I manage to eat some food ad well, though it seems as if Naethan eats most of the meal. As he asks his various questions though, I simply nod my head and calmly start to explain.

"Increased hunger is normal honestly. It's just the eggs requiring more nutrients to sustain themselves. The fullness is because the eggs are likely pressing on a few organs until your body is able to adapt to them. The protectiveness is your hormones allowing you to accept the changes in your body, and keep anyone or anything from harming them or you during the...year or so you'll actually be pregnant for." I take a sip of water before continuing.

"As for birth, since you don't have a womb they'll likely exit the same way they went in."

I freeze up at her last statement. The same way they went in? That's going to hurt...a lot. Oh, god, the thought of pushing them out. I cringed a little at that. I stare at her again, I don't think I'm ready for kids, and this is pretty bizarre, but I'll give Essa a chance. "Essa, I'm scared, and I don't think I'm ready to have kids, but since you knocked me up, I want to ask if we can try to be a couple; like, I'm asking you out on a date - I mean, if you don't want to be in a relationship or go on a date, and just be friends for our children, then that's also fine, too..." I trailed off with a nervous chuckle. God, I'm so nervous. First, I get dumped and cheated on by my ex, and now I'm pregnant and asking my baby mama - baby father? On a date. Is this my life right now?
