Another twelve months went by, Chloë turned three, she had so much to say and made everybody smile. The boys stated crawling and got into everything. Arnold had Chloë for two nights a week and Chloë loved it. Dave and Kriss were still together and Cat had become very close to Llewey and Jim-Bexley.
"I'm feeling broody" Kriss told Dave "why don't we have another one?"
Dave was so surprised he choked on his tea
"You sure?" he asked her
"Very," Kriss smiled "I'd like another girl"
"Well," Dave responded, "I can't promise a little girl, but we can have another baby!" Kriss smiled "thank you" she said, "thank you very much"
Kriss and Dave sat at the table and fed the boys
"Kryten" Kriss asked
"Yes ma'am" he answered
"Do you think you could find Chloë and the boys' baby things for me?"
"What for ma'am" the information sank in "are you pregnant"
"Not yet" she answered "but I will be soon"
"How wonderful" said Kryten "I've got a while to find them haven't I?"
"Sure" she said "I'll have them in nine months"
"Hopefully anyway" Dave added
"I could be pregnant now," she told them, "you never know"
"True" he agreed, "I hope you are!"
Kriss nodded "We'll start trying properly tonight though" she told him.
It didn't take long for Kriss to fall pregnant, in fact it happened almost straight away. Kriss asked Kryten to do an early scan.
"Sure ma'am" he answered "Congratulations"
"I hope it's not twins again" she told him "I don't think I could cope"
Kryten set up all the equipment in the medi-bay, when Kriss arrived; she sat down on the bed
"Ma'am, why are you requesting this early scan?" Kryten asked her
"I don't really know" she told him "I just feel like something's going to go wrong and I want this to be perfect"
"Why?" Kryten asked her
"This will probably be my last pregnancy," she told him "I just want it to be perfect"
Everything looked okay with Kriss' baby they didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl though, Kriss wanted a girl, she didn't really mind if they had another boy but in a perfect world she would be carrying a baby girl.
