Chapter 4.

Reni reappeared as quickly as he had left, and everyone stared at Manu, waiting anxiously for something else to happen.

He held onto his extended belly and gasped out, “The baby kicked. I felt him kick.”

Then he burst into tears. Dora burst into tears as well, and Tira hugged both of them and stroked their backs, and while his voice was making comforting noises his eyes were daring anyone to say anything that would upset his precious ones.

Reni was the first to take a breath, and he smiled at Tira. “I think that my triad will have this to look forward to, as well. Our darling Dena is bearing, although not as far along. Maybe the bearing ones would all like to spend time together, and compare notes?”

Then he bolted again, with Donovan on his heels.

Nasa called in all of his medical assistants, and the new people from Mikal’s ship were carefully checked over. Old and new wounds were taken care of, and nerves were calmed. The medical staff talked quietly to the new arrivals, and stroked them gently, trying to reassure them as they helped them dress in new clothing after having quick showers to remove the dirt of the prison.

“Showers, on a ship?”

“Yes, of course, the water recycles through the arboretum. Which you can visit anytime you want – it is a very peaceful place.”

Vara could hear some impatient murmurs from behind the door to the sitting room, and suspected that this was Nasa’s gentle revenge on the rowdy crew members. Or maybe just his way of teaching them patience? They could stay there by themselves while their beloveds were touched all over and examined by the medical staff.

Nasa eventually took pity on them, and stuck his head through the door long enough to tell them that their darlings were thin and scared, and covered in scars, but other than that not in too bad shape. If good behavior could be assured, they would come next door for a badly needed meal.

He received a chorus of yes, oh yes, very well behaved, please, thank you.

Donovan reappeared to escort the new ones next door just as Vara got an emergency call of his own. This was in the form of a worried enquiry from a young transport officer as to whether the small furry friends should be let out of their prisons. In all the excitement, the rabbits had been forgotten and were still sitting in the transport bay. Well, Vara admitted, he was the one who had forgotten them. Sno was still unconscious.

Vara was fairly sure that turning them loose in the ship wouldn’t be a good idea, although the pups obviously thought it might be. They were quite intrigued by the smell of Sno’s rabbit-fur coat.

Vara retreated to do some quick research while Nasa still had Sno under the anesthetic. That led him to the arboretum, and the gentle person who supervised its operation.

‘Bodi, I need your help, please. My beloved Sno has brought some small furry animals called rabbits back to the ship, and we need a place for them to live.
