Chapter 141

A dull buzzing reached Coby's ears, causing him to wake up slowly. It was barely dawn, but he felt rather refreshed. In the week since he and Lori had fought off Super Starscream, they had managed to get all the rest they needed to completely recover.

Well, almost. Lori had started throwing up yesterday. She didn't have a fever or anything else, so they figured it was just something she ate. He absentmindedly began running his hand through his lover's hair. Lori was, without a doubt, one of the best things that had ever happened to him. He would never have been as happy without her.

The buzz sounded again, and Coby realized it was their PDA on the nightstand. Sighing, he carefully extracted himself from Lori's grip and retrieved it, setting it for audio only, "This is Coby Rumble. Who's calling?"

"Sorry, Coby, but I need your help," First Gunner said on the other end. "Galaxy Convoy was attacked by Nemesis Convoy, and the damage is quite extensive. He's stable for now, but I'll need your help with the operation to completely repair the damages."

"I'll be there as soon as I can," Coby promised.

"By the way, did your time off agree with you?" First Gunner asked.

Coby couldn't help but grin, "I would say it did indeed, for both of us."

"That's good to hear. See you in a few hours," First Gunner chuckled, signing off.

Putting the PDA down, he crawled back under the covers and into the embrace of his lover. She murmured something in her sleep and snuggled against him, enjoying his warmth. He kissed her lightly on the top of her head, while letting his hand caress her side from her ribcage down to the bottom of her thigh, encountering nothing but the soft curves of her smooth skin. She let out a soft sigh of enjoyment before opening her eyes and looking at him.

"Good morning, lover," she whispered, giving him a soft kiss.

"Good morning to you too," he replied. "Do you mind if I leave for a little bit? First Gunner needs my help."

"What happened?" Lori asked.

"Galaxy Convoy got attacked," Coby answered. "According to First Gunner, it's not very pretty either."

She let go of him, "Then hurry up and go. I'll be fine." He thanked her and gave her one last kiss before standing. She dozed off as he got dressed, and by the time she woke back up, he was gone.

Lori didn't mind though. She was smart enough to know he wouldn't ask to leave her side unless it was important. They trusted each other more than they trusted their parents. Not in a bad way, there were just things they could share with each other that they couldn't share with their parents. Like the fact that my getting pregnant is nearly impossible now, Lori thought to herself. It could still happen, but now that she was a Terraformer, the odds were against them. I wonder what Coby's dad would say if he found out.

Her gut suddenly gave a familiar lurch and she ran to the bathroom, not even bothering to cover her nudity in her haste. Closing the door and hurrying to the toilet, she barely made it before she vomited. Flushing the toilet and sitting against the wall to calm down, she began to wonder what was wrong. If she had some sort of infection, her auto-heal should have taken care of it by now. Could it be a problem with her systems?

Closing her eyes, she began to focus inward, running a system check. She found no problems with her respiratory, cardiac, and digestive systems, which confused her. It could be a problem with my reproductive system then, she thought. Because it work erratically now that I'm a Terraformer, there could be some adjustment problems. She focused there, and was surprised by what she found.

There was a great deal of energy at a single, focused point, and none of it was from her. She probed it gently, and was suddenly overwhelmed by several emotions. Love, laughter, and curiosity washed over her, and none of them came from her. Then an image followed, an image of a tiny hand clutching one of her fingers.

Lori withdrew her focus and opened her eyes, gasping. She couldn't be!

Or could she?
