"There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood. The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation."
― James E. Faust

"Hmm..." Retsu muttered for the fifth time as she stood in from of the mirror for what seemed like the hundreth time that day. Her cloak shifted and swayed and she moved her hips from one side to the other, her hand running over her obi sash to smooth out the cloth. Eyes narrowed in judgement as her look-a-like opposite from her did the same.

She swears she could feel it. She knows its there. Just the thought of it being there excited her to no end, her heart still racing from the moment she awoke and discovered it.

A bump. She could barely see it but she knew her own body well enough to know its not from the food she's been eating. It was from her baby.

Its so real. Its really happening!

She ran her hand over her abdomen again with a smile on her face. She could not get enough of the feel of it now, she tried so many times to concentrate on feeling it grow but it just seemed too long of a wait for her now. She began to muse on how much this pregnancy has affected her. In all ways including her perception of the passage of time. Normally nine months would just be a breeze through her hair, meaningless in all aspects in comparison to the centuries she had exhisted.

Retsu hoped the feeling will stay when the child is born. She would never want to miss a second of it's life and let incredible moments pass in the blink of an eye. To be a mother, perhaps when she was alive she might have experienced such joy, the thought made the butterflies in her chest flutter.

Finally, she tore herself away from her reflection and prepared herself to go out. Retsu had to tell him the news. She wanted to shout it out to the whole society but first she must tell him of the new development.

Retsu closed the sliding door to her quarters and set off at a medium casual pace towards the 11th division.
