He checks her over, and everything seems to be going fine until he stops. He seems confused, and goes over and over one paper silently. Finally, he turns around. Just as Sophie is starting to panic. I can feel it from where I'm sitting. I reach out and grab her hand./p

He takes another breath "Unfortunately, with your... em style="box-sizing: border-box;"scrambled /emDNA, your delivery may not be as perfect as the typical Elvin birth. It may render you very weak and possibly ill for weeks after the delivery." Sophie looks at me in horror and I squeeze her hand. /p

"You weren't exactly em style="box-sizing: border-box;"designed/em to reproduce, but if I start fiddling with some serums and formulas NOW, then it should ease the pain during the delivery.
