Hitching a ride
Dani had kissed Rhys goodbye on the cheek and lumbered her way down to the hanger deck to meet Anika. Her husband of one month had to be on shift in an hour and so couldn't be with her for the checkup with Dr. Zoticus a little later in the day aboard Shangri-La. Her own schedule was clear aside from doctor's visits, her last workday before starting maternity leave had been two days earlier and she was very happy that it finally happened. For one thing, it meant she didn't have to worry about trying to squeeze into her uniforms...even the fatigues were starting to get a little snug around the front.

Anika had agreed to give her a ride over to Shangri-La. for the visit, and she'd have lunch with both of the twins before making her way to the Doctor's office.

The young woman finally passed through the hatch to the hanger deck, and saw Anika hanging out near Sting a few bays down waiting for her. "Anika! Thanks so much for giving me a ride." She told the other woman, waddling up to the ship.
