No one had warned Tahiri about just how uncomfortable being pregnant could be. She was part Vong, pain meant nothing to her, she even enjoyed it, but being pregnant was so completely different to anything she had experienced before. Her muscles just ached, and sometimes her limbs were all tingling or numb, which was incredibly disconcerting. And she missed coffee, oh how she missed it. One cup in the day was not enough, and Jacen had to be all smug about his continued drinking of the wonderful substance. Admittedly he had made a very good point about how the general suffering of the world would probably increase if he gave up the caffeine, but that didn't stop Tahiri looking longingly at his mug while sipping at her own herbal tea.
Sometimes she found herself staring at her changing body in the mirror with a sense of bewilderment. The bump was impossible to hide now, and she lived permanently in the most comfortable clothes she could find. She had seen pictures of pregnant women wearing things like fancy dresses and high heels and just thought such things were bizarre. Why make yourself suffer like that if you didn't have to?
One thing she refused to give up was her exercise regime, though she had grudgingly adapted it as her body needed her to. Gone were the vigorous martial arts sessions, instead she focused on things like yoga or Tai Chi. It was during one such stretch that she felt something actually move inside her, and Tahiri yelped with surprise, losing her balance momentarily. For a moment she just stood there, confused, before she pressed her hand against her bump and waited. Sure enough, moments later, she felt it again, a distinctive movement that pressed against her hand. They were kicking. The babies were actually kicking.
Tahiri laughed, out loud, despite standing in the room on her own, and kept her hand there, giggling every time she felt a flutter of movement. Moments passed before she decided to grab her phone, sending Jacen a text. 'Stop what you're doing and get up here now!'
Despite the words giving nothing away, Tahiri's presence in the Force was completely open, and she was practically bouncing, her excitement coming through clearly.
