Author's note: And here we are again! As I promised , here's the new story. It has some bits of science in it. I'll try to research so careful as possible. Hope I don't produce a scientific mess though :-))

This story actually continues "Two Minutes", but it is not only about Mo'at's view of things, but of course, she will have a (even quite important) say in it. So, "Two Minutes" had it's end on the evening of Jake's final transfer. "Kinships" starts the morning after.

Summary: Why is Jake's avatar so different? There are a lot of questions and we will see the mistakes of the RDA (or someone else)?

Chapter 1: The very first morning

Jake felt the sunlight through his closed eyelids, stretched sleepily his limbs and awoke finally when he felt something warm at his side. His beloved Neytiri, his mate. He opened his eyes, sat up in a rush, just to fell back dizzily onto his bedding.

It was true.

He was in his only real body now, not longer in that broken human corpse he was originally born in. And as well not longer in a borrowed body which needed machines for him to live in. He was truly Na'vi now - no longer a dreamwalker.

He remembered himself opening his eyes yesterday, lying under the tree of souls, Neytiri's face hovering above him. It had worked...

The rest of the events were all kind of a blur. He had been so tired, he barely realized the two men carrying him and laying him down softly on his bedding. After this, there was Neytiri, pressing a cup with broth against his lips, urging him to drink.

Then that short moment of afterglow was over. Neytiri awoke and watched him happily: "Good morning, my Jake. Did you sleep well?"

He answered smiling: "Good morning, my love. I dreamed. For the first time I dreamed in this, in my body"

"Yes, I watched you. Was it a good dream?"

He looked in her eyes a for long time, not sure about telling her about his dream. But he was so happy, so proud."I saw both of us, sitting in the den of a new Hometree. And that's not all. We were..."he took a deep breath, "We were playing with our child. Neytiri, we will have a son!"

Now his mate laughed lowly:" Eywa did tell you, before I could. Yes, it is true. But I didn't know it would be a son. Eywa blessed you truly. I'm sure, you are the first male ever who knows the gender of his child before it's mother knows it!"

"You are...? You really are...?" Jake was gasping, overwhelmed by his feelings, when Neytiri nodded.

"But, that means, you were already pregnant at the battle!", he realized shocked, remembering having them no oportunity to mate since that night at the tree of voices.

"My Jake, I didn't know then. It has been only two days, since I've been sure about it and mother confirmed that I'm expecting! Just let us be happy now and look forward to our child..." and with these words embraced him .

After some minutes of kissing and hugging Jake tried to get up, ignoring the fact that his arms were shaking heavily and his head was in a daze.

Neytiri hold him down: "No, my Jake, you are supposed to stay in bed, at least until tomorrow!"

"But Neytiri!" he looked at her, quite flustered at the moment, "I, ... you see, I must go...You understand..?"

She reached behind her and produced a gourd: "You use this! You are not allowed to get up!"

Jake laid down again, sighing: "Ok,ok. Got it. Could at least I do ...this...alone?"

His mate got up, now laughing openly: " Of course! Do, what you have to do and I go and get breakfast for us!"

She was just stepping out of the grove, when suddenly her mother stood before her, carrying two leaf plates with teylu and roasted vegetables. "Good morning, my daughter! How is he doing?"

"Good morning, Mother! Jake is doing just fine. He even tried to get up..."Neytiri giggled.

"Oh, I hope, you didn't let him do that! He still needs time to recover."

"No, Mother of course not! Even without my chastising he couldn't get up. His arms were shaking by just steadying him when he sat up. I gave him the gourd, as you advised. And then he wanted to be alone...", she couldn't help to prevent a giggle again.

"Don't laugh, Neytiri! Your mate may be easygoing and friendly most of the time, but he is nonetheless a proud man too. It's just natural that he doesn't want neither onlookers nor any help with this. He's not a small child!" Mo'at reprimanded her,"Wait a moment, then give him his breakfast. And you should eat to!" I will go for a walk to that metalbox - Site 26 - and see, if I can fetch Normspellman and Maxpatel. They wanted to see their friend before they return to Hell's Gate."

With these words, Mo'at turned and wandered alone on the peaceful path which led to the humans temporary home.

The strange smell of metal filled her nose even before she could see the strange thing the humans lived in. On the right side stood their flying machine, sleeping. No humans were outside, but when she approached nearer, she could see some movement behind the eyes of the human's home. Windows, they called them windows, she remembered from her talks with Graceaugustine.

"Normspellman, Maxpatel !", Mo'at called. No reaction. Then she remembered another talk with Graceaugustine and suddenly she knew what to do. It was a very strange thing though and she was happy she brought no-one of the People with her. Probably they would think, their Tsahik became a bit strange in her old days. And so she went to the metalbox and hammered her knuckles against the window. Two persons in the box literally jumped up, seemingly yelping in surprise.

Normspellman's face appeared behind the window, wide-eyed. When he recognized her, he smiled and motioned her to wait outside. "Good. Because I have absolutely no intention to enter that strange thing!", she thought.

Mo'at turned and chuckled a bit to herself. The expression on Normspellman's face had been hilarious.

A few minutes later the two scientists left the metal home, wearing their breathingmasks again.

After exchanging the Good Morning's, Mo'at said: " I'm sure, you would like to visit Jakesully now before you leave. He's awake and having breakfast in this moment."

"Did he said something?" Normspellman asked.

"Of course ! He 's really doing fine", Mo'at answered cheerfully.

" I mean, about yesterday...the transfer process..", asked the scientist in an unsure manner.

"I don't know, "the Tsahik said," But I've got some questions too." After a short look to the puzzled scientists she continued:" Is one of you involved in ...making dreamwalker bodies?"

"No, I'm an anthropologist, uh somebody who is involved in languages, customs and practices of...different people, clans, I mean.", Normspellman answered.

"Well, I don't produce them actually, but one of my tasks is to care for the dreamwalker bodies. So I know quite a lot about them.", Maxpatel said slowly, "So feel free to ask me and I try my best to give you an answer."

"When Jakesully came to us, I noticed immediatly that he is different. First: his face. And other things as well.."

"Oooh yes, his noose ! We were wondering about this too, but I guess, he has got just a bit more Na'vi genom than the other avatars. But what do you mean with other things ?" Max asked Mo'at, his curiosity awakened.

"Jakesully is a male." Mo'at said .

"Yes, of course he is a male, because in his ...human form he's male too."

"He is a mature male," Mo'at said,"Every dreamwalker I saw until now was sterile as a child. But when Jakesully first arrived to the Omaticaya, I noticed a certain smell. And - as I am to my people, what you call a doctor - I examined him," Mo'at happily remembered that word from her talks with Graceaugustine.

Maxpatel stopped walking, turned to Mo'at and was just able to say:" Um, pardon?"

"Do you really think, I don't know anything about my peoples bodies?", she challenged the scientist, "After I noticed his smell, all I had to do was to have a look under his tail. And - lo and behold (another of Graceaugustine's expressions, Mo'at remembered) - Jakesully is a male. I don't know how you name this things, small buds, which produce smelling fluid. He has a complete set of it, still small at that time though, but promising that he would be a fully grown male in two or three months. And this was proved, as my daughter is pregnant." she finished triumphantly her sentence.

"Noo, no, that can't be true! All avatars are were made so. The RDA didn't want any possibility of fraternization!" Maxpatel was stunned,"This is simply impossible!"

"Are you accusing my daughter of betraying her mate?", Mo'at asked him sharply.

"No, of course not!", Maxpatel answered lowly." But I've got no explanation of his fertility."

"This is an very interesting riddle to be solved !", the Tsahik said.

They were silent until they approached the grove of Jake and Neytiri.
