She leaned over to kiss him, and the baby squeaked.“I think I know why she mentioned the nanny.There are some things I don’t want burning into his little psyche.”
Ra grinned and kissed her softly.“He will sleep in our room.”
“Oh, dear.I guess I will learn to be quiet.”
Ra laughed.“You will not, but we will have the nanny, and she will bring him to you as needed.”
She sighed and leaned against him.It had been a very eventful day.
Chapter Five
Zelda and Orex walkedthrough the village, and in the market, she got excited.Familiar foods were on offer, and Zelda got thrilled.
“Pizza!”
Orex was hauled along, and she stopped at the pizza kiosk and got a cheese pizza that the vendor split in quarters.Zelda chortled happily, got lemonade, and she and Orex sat and split the pizza.
“This particular food got me through every test, date night, long night with Aretta, and her science projects.You just put it in the oven as is, and you pull it out less than twenty minutes later.”She blew on her piece before putting it in her mouth, groaning softly as familiar flavours activated her memories.
Orex smiled.“This is a common food from your world?”
“Very common.Each region has a different variant.”
“You are very happy right now.”
“I am.My people are everywhere, my daughter is nearby having fun, and I feel like I am back on my world.It is a fleeting moment, but it is one I am enjoying.”
Orex cocked his head.“We are getting more Terrans for the colony.”
She laughed.“Yes, but Ra lived with us, even if he didn’t find a consort way back then.It’s good that Harwin was compatible.”
“It is indeed.She would be dead otherwise.He recognized her by blood and put her into a repair unit.If he hadn’t done it, we wouldn’t be here right now.”He bit the pizza and tilted his head as he chewed.He took a second bite.
“Oh.Right.”She took the second bite and nodded.“That makes sense.”
She sipped at the lemonade and winced.“Oh, that’s not quite right.”
