"I don't know how long I will be pregnant silly. I don't know of anyone that can control it."

Ruby thought for a moment " Well, that I cannot help you with. However you can guess how long till the birth by the size of your belly. Or at least that's what I've been told. "

"Well that's certainly interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind." She said, still smiling as she rubbed her belly.

" Yours is quite small. It couldn't have been too long. "
Ruby hesitated a bit with her question, but asked it in the end " Whose this child? "

"Aproxima's. She and I are mates."

Aproxima? The name sounds familiar, but nothing connects to it. Ruby asked slightly confused " Aproxima? That doesn't sound much like a male name. "

Zarina chuckled softly. "It's not. It's a long story."

Ruby was totally lost right now " It is...possible to have a child with another woman? "

"Usually no. But Aproxima has a special power that allows it to work."

Ruby was quite surprised " I just hope the child will be healthy if it comes from such extraordinary parents. "
