Thanks for the reviews. :)

Tenn's eyes snapped closed sharply. Her pace rushed over to a specific place making her press the button to alert the inhabitants inside. Watching the door slide open, she barely let it open all the way when she slipped inside to see Dib watching over, Jack. Jack as normal was working on a growth project for his development while, Dib was working on his computer pad. The way he glanced up at her made her spooch jump.

"Where's Tak?"

"With Zim right now on the bridge." Putting his head down Tenn noticed his hand was dancing along the pad gracefully.

Going over to his side, she sat down beside him enjoying his scent washing over her. She hated the feeling of betraying, Tak. "What are you doing?"

"Lab work from Earth." Dib answered with only a look up to check on his son before looking back down at his figures. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Tak's scent was also coming from him making her hate herself even more even as she felt the kick deep inside her churn.

Dib paused his program the second he heard her making a sound. Worried, he put the pad aside to turn himself to check on, Tenn instead. "What's the matter?"

Was this how it was like with Tak when it came to him? Eyes closing, she smelled how his scent was seemingly getting even closer as she felt a hand on her cheek. Tenn was going to lose it.

"Is it the smeet? I was told about Pressner visiting you."

Dib always had to be such a caring male. Tenn loved him for it. Desired him. She also didn't know how to answer him.

Tak told him how to check on an Irken's health just in case she does get pregnant again, so Dib went to touch her neck to feel her heated there. "We should get you checked out, Tenn."

Hearing that, Tenn opened her eyes to stare into his brown caring eyes. Tenn knew she was becoming insane, and taking a quick glance over at Jack's state to see he was distracted by his studies, she boldly crashed her lips against his forcing him to stay there so she can slip her tongue inside his mouth. Dib struggled against her. Tried to push her away, but she was stronger. Catching his tongue with her longer one, she wrapped his flat tongue around hers enjoying his taste.

Dib swore that female Irkens are far more stronger than male ones because he had a bitch of a time getting away from her as he continued to push against her. Adjusting his body to get on all fours, he pushed her away finally just by pushing against her head. "Tenn!" Grabbing his pad, he stood up. "I think you should go."

Ashamed, she stood up to look him straight in the eyes. "That won't happen again."

"I hope not." Dib turned away from her to wander over to his son.

Miserable, Tenn left his quarters to stalk her way down the corridor finding herself crossing paths with Tak. "I apologize greatly for insulting you." Tenn bowed her head to her so she can continue away leaving a confused Tak standing there.

Tak went to their quarters and smiled at Dib next to Jack, but the way Dib's mouth was fixed showed her that something happened so she went over to her little family to wrap her arms around his shoulder. The way he eased himself next to her she knew he was happy to see her again. "I love you." She whispered.

Dib smiled softly listening to those words. "I love you too."

They didn't have to talk about what transpired to make Tenn apologize to her since Tak trusted Dib always. She knew he would never hurt her intentionally or unintentionally for that matter.

"So no clue at all still?" Gaz wondered as both her and Zim stared out the observation window in the Tallest chambers.

Resting his hands on the ledge, Zim shook his head as he examined a few of the ships out there. "All I know is that it is far from Irk and the Armada right now, but I'm still not comfortable with it."

"Sorry you don't have a city cesspool to dump it in like you did that big ball of energy that Dib told me about." She quipped.

Zim turned his head to regard his wife. "You find the oddest times to make a joke."

Turning to face him, Gaz touched his arm. "At least you know I have a sense of humor. Almost like a dried up corpse."

Zim had trouble processing that statement. "Eh?"

"I seen enough of Irken corpses littering the battlefield on Earth to see them go into rigermortis. It makes you crack up sometimes."

The evil little smirk she graced him with turned him on a little too much. "You're tempting me right now."

"I should hope so." Turning away from him, Gaz started to walk off to the chairs in the room to sit down. "You realize it feels like forever since we have..." She let the subject drop. "Never mind since we have a crisis to think about."

Zim heard the tone in her voice change into something of unhappiness making him turn to approach her. The way the veil of her hair covered her face almost completely except those lips made him smile warmly at her as he got on his knees to kiss her. Going to his gauntlet, he locked the door and made sure the window got covered as he moved his lips to her neck.

Even though she loved what he was doing it felt like he was trying to prove something to her. "Zim, there is no need to do this."

Zim ignored her as he lifted her dress up. "We've never done it here before."

"True, but I have visions of either Purple or Red eating their snacks in these seats."

Pulling away from her slightly, Zim cringed. "You had to ruin this didn't you?"

Gaz shrugged. "Sorry, but I don't want our lovemaking ruined by visions of stupidity from the past."

Standing up, Zim took her hand gently to start leading her away. "Then let's adjourn to our room then."

"The all mighty Zim has finally come up with a good plan then."

At Gaz's mocking, he lifted her up over her shoulder. As she protested, Zim smiled away. "That is what you get for making fun of your husband, my dear Gaz."

Psyllic was feeling something else in the air around them. Something that he couldn't quite figure out making him look over at the citizens of his planet to see if he can sense anything from them, but most were innocent while the rest were spreading chaos elsewhere in the Universe. Sensing his horrible son walking in he couldn't help but openly sneer in his direction as he plumbed himself down into a seat to stare off smugly into the distance.

Prick!

Sensing another presence simply pop in was a bit more welcoming even if he wasn't a citizen of this planet, but just an employee. An employee who seems to have a weakness over Irken females. How hard is it to kidnap that pregnant one?

"Tell me why you haven't taken that female away, Pressner."

Pressner didn't feel like lying at all as he answered. "I just don't feel like it. Don't want to stress the mother of our child out."

"Noble."

Turning to face his idiot son, Psyllic snarled, "You shut it you ungrateful brat."

Elias just rolled his eyes and shut his mouth for now.

Calming himself, he spoke to Pressner again. "So you don't wish to stress her. Do you think it will stress her the second she sees that creature ready to destroy them? She won't have much time to react."

Pressner chose not to react to that as he kept his features calm so he can speak. "Of course not. At that time, I will take her then. I just won't allow her to be used."

"Then Tak is someone you didn't actually love, just lusted for. Not unless this is the one you are lusting for but wish to protect simply because of that child inside of her."

Pressner knew he was far more powerful than himself so trying to get into any altercation would probably spell disaster for him before, Psyllic decided to use Tenn for whatever purpose he intended. "I simply will not do it right now."

It was the first time he grinned at him. "I can respect that." Turning to look at his son. "Him, no."

"Just because I kissed, Dib and didn't go after you to that ship?"

"Why in the hell did you kiss him? I can understand your a selfish bastard in not wanting to go after him." It was Pressner that asked the question.

Elias licked his lips at the memory there. "As I said; I was curious. Wasn't such a bad experience even if he hated it."

"I'm not a fan of the kid, but even I don't blame him." Pressner suddenly desired some alcohol in his system. "He should of killed you."

"Just as long as I get another taste of him or perhaps his sister. She is quite gorgeous."

"ENOUGH!" Stalking up to his son, Psyllic lifted him up psychically by the scruff of his neck. "You dare touch her I will kill you myself. As it is I should kill you for being a disrespectful pain in the ass all your life."

"Well father, at least I'm consistent." Elias pointed out baring his teeth happily.

Pressner decided to disappear figuring it got too stupid in there with Elias's constant presence. If Psyllic needed him he can either find him or summon him. Stepping into his own private sanctuary was short lived when he felt obvious pain from someone making him disappear once again just to see Tenn laying on her bed in the fetal position.

"Tenn?" Hearing her sniffle he approached. "What's the matter?" Sitting on the edge of the bed he placed a gentle hand on hers.

She wasn't comfortable at all in telling him anything even at her most vulnerable. She won't tell, Skoodge seeing that he sometimes had a loose mouth on him. Dib won't trust her after what she did, and she wouldn't blame Tak if she hit her at any moment. To tell Pressner would admit too much and since he already can't stand Dib, she won't risk it.

"I can't say."

"Is it the baby?"

Tenn heard the concern in his voice which made her uncomfortable in itself. "The smeet is very healthy."

"You hate me don't you?"

"I don't trust you."

Pressner studied her face. "You're in heat and you did something you regret."

Tenn refused to react to that and wondered inwardly if he could smell it or sense it like another Irken can.

Taking a chance, he laid down beside her just to get more comfortable. "Don't be ashamed since it is something completely still foreign to you. It is still foreign to me. Feelings and such. The reason I know that you are in heat is because it is thick in the air. At my age and after encountering many species, of course I would know it."

"I wasn't in heat that night I first..." She trailed off.

"No, but aroused you were." Hearing her sigh in such a melancholy way made him get softer. "You kissed Dib didn't you?" Her squeezing her eyes shut tighter told him his answer.

"Don't hurt him. It wasn't his fault. I just pounced him." Tenn finally opened her eyes enough to look into his own. "I'm ashamed of my actions and apologized to Tak immediately. I shouldn't of done it, but I've always had such a strong attraction to him."

Shutting his eyes now to stem the anger. The jealousy that burned more within him then with Tak loving Dib, Pressner put his head into the covers just to mask what he was feeling away from her.

"Don't hurt him, Pressner. He has a family." She begged.

"I won't. I can't." Turning his head to gaze at those dark pink eyes he reached out to touch that face. "Do you realize how beautiful you are, Tenn?"

Tenn heard how soft that voice because when he asked her that. "Thanks, but you do realize it is hard to look past your many problems?"

Continuing to touch her face, Pressner wasn't mad at her for saying that. He appreciated her honesty. "I felt you in my home. I felt your distress."

"Is it because of this?" She points to her stomach.

"Yes."

"That creature is going to destroy my home, Pressner. Please help."

His heart lurched at the way she said that. "I don't have the power to stop that creature myself. It is all from them." Inching closer to her he desperately wanted to hold her. "I will still protect you and our child."

"I can't raise my smeet with you. Look at what you've done."

Watching how a tear fell from her eye made him hate himself for the first time in his entire life.
