Helena Wells-Quinzel is H.G. Wells (indelibleink) wrote in makebelievelog,

The way Padmé spoke of being pregnant was a clear sign she was going to be an excellent mother. Helena knew those signs, especially that smile. It was the bliss of an expectant mother. As much as it could be an entirely frightening time for a woman, especially if it was her first pregnancy, it was also incredibly exciting.

"The movement does take some getting used to, I understand. Even when you think you have become accustomed to it, your child tends to adapt a new behavior." Helena smiled warmly, settling herself now that the tea was served. "If you have questions about what to expect, you may ask me. I have borne a child, and even though it is different for every woman, it does help to have an idea of what is to come. It is both an exhilarating and frightening experience." Helena's pregnancy was most certainly not a model pregnancy, and not solely because her mother had put her under house arrest, more or less, once she started showing.

Smiling, Helena sipped her tea, before setting it aside for the moment. "I could exercise my ego and say I am a famous author where I come from, but I can side-step that for now. I was born and raised in an era where women had no rights or freedoms. Though I did a rather remarkable job of breaking societal standards for women. I was an unwed working mother, rather unheard of in those days. I also am an inventor, as you have witnessed with the grappling gun. By the way, how are you enjoying your grappling gun?"
