Supposed To : Chapter One
By Raven Pan

"I'm doing important work and being recognised for it. But my personal life..." he shook his head as though reacting to the death of a friend. "Qwi, you were the last part of my personal life. Now there's nothing there. A vacuum purer than anything in space. So, I think, in a few weeks, I'm going to take a leave of absence. Travel a bit, try to sneak a visit into Corellia, not think about my work. I'll just try to find out if there is anything to me except career."

"There is."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"Keep your visual sensors turned up, then."

He laughed. "What about you?"

"I have friends. I have work. I am acquiring hobbies. Remember, the new Qwi is less than two years old. In that way, I'm still a little girl experiencing the universe for the first time." She looked apologetic. "So I will learn, and work, and see who it is I am becoming."

"I hope you'll still consider me a friend," he said.

"Always."

"Meaning you can still call on me. Send me messages. Send me lifeday presents."

She laughed. "Greedy."

"Thank you, Qwi."

"Thank you, Wedge."

******* One Month Later *******

"You're kidding."

"No, you're definitely pregnant, Dr. Xux."

"But that's impossible, isn't it? The only person I've been with was human."

"Then your children will be sterile, but you're still pregnant."

"Children? As in more than one?"

"That's usually what the word means, doctor."

"What do I do now?"

"I suggest telling the man he's going to be a father, and coming back to see me in four weeks."

I can't tell him. He can't know, it wouldn't be fair.

******* Five Years Later *******

"Mother?"

"Yes, D'Geanti?" Qwi asked as she set a glass of blumilk before her son.

"Why don't we have a father?"

"Yeah," Welles piped in, a mustache beginning to form on her lips from the milk she was drinking. "Why don't we have a father, Mother?"

She knew this day was coming, but she dreaded it just the same. "You had a father, loves. But he was gone before you were born."

"Gone?"

She nodded sadly.

"I betcha he's dead," nodded the little boy.

"Yep, he must be dead," the little girl nodded in imitation.

Qwi said nothing.

"Do you think if he was around, he'd like us?"

"Of course, D'Geanti, who wouldn't!" his sister punched him playfully.

Qwi smiled sadly at her children's antics. "I know if he could, he would have loved you two dearly."
