Warning! This chapter mentions some, erm, 'womanly themes' in it. So any boys out there might want to watch out.

Kino slumped over onto the bed. Even though her stomach cramped up more than ever now, it was bliss to be on a bed. A muffled groan alerted Hermes.

"Kino... are you okay? Are you sick?" he meekly asked.

Her back was to him so she couldn't see her face as she searched for an explanation easy enough for a motorrad to understand. She couldn't really find one so she just simply replied, "It's something that comes with being a woman."

Hermes seemed to take that the wrong way. "Are you... pregnant?" He was embarrassed to even say the word.

Kino grinned. "Yeah, Hermes I am. And you're the father."

"WHAT!!??"

She sat up and slowly turned to him. "Soon we'll have a bunch of little motorrads riding around. They'll all call you 'daddy'. You should be proud of yourself."

"But-but Kino...!" He started, but when he saw her grin, he knew Kino was just playing around. "Kino!! You shouldn't do that to me!"

She laughed and turned back over on her bed. Now she felt just a bit better and could now sleep comfortably. Her dreams were filled with baby motorcycles.
