JR felt a little better these days but the lethargy that had hit her like a brick a month ago had only relented slightly. She still might be sleeping or dozing more than she was awake, but at least now instead of having no energy whatsoever she had stretches of time in the late afternoon and evening where she felt somewhat with it. One thing that had returned to normal was her appetite, which she had greeted with relief. It would have been a crying shame if on top of everything if the thought of food still made her want to puke when there was all this delicious Cuban cuisine. She still needed to steer clear of certain things, but it was an improvement.
Her mother had wanted quality time with the grandbabies and had taken them back to Errant Venture for the night. Seeing how it was free of ghosts and the nearest docking port to the hall of doors was only a few minutes walk JR had been fine with that and Elyssa hadn't objected either. They loved their little carpet crawlers but some time away was good too. Especially since they'd be getting at least one more in January.
JR's gut still told her it would be more than one but until the scan at her next appointment there was no way to know for sure. She'd already started putting on weight and sported a small bulge in her abdomen that was plain to see when bare. If she had to put on her pants she wasn't sure she'd be able to, but she'd switched to dresses that could pass for 1940s attire since coming through the door and those were more forgiving.
Once she'd gotten over the initial panic and disbelief she was thrilled to carry Elyssa's baby or babies. The night the magic happened she'd been all woman and Elyssa had been all man, and there'd been only one thing on their minds. JR may have been born male, but the only thing remotely male about her the last three months were memories. If what Addie had let slip about the future was right then they were memories of a past life. Maybe the station would change her back after the pregnancy was over and maybe it wouldn't.
