Timeline: November 6th, 0630 hrs

Having woken up after her first night as Xalanth’s newest mate, Kah’lyn was feeling a little worse for wear. Their love making had been pleasant and enjoyable, but she was feeling more tired this morning than ever. Taking a shower to wake herself up she brushed her hair before finally walking out of the bedroom and greeting the trio of sister wives who were there. “Good morning everyone.”

The three of them turned. None of them had dressed for work yet; all were in some state of dressing. T'para gave her a warm smile as she walked over. The hybrid was still wearing the black pyjamas she had been wearing the night before. "Greetings, sister. It gives us great joy that you have found us." She said in a very un-Vulcan tone.

“Thank you T’Para, it doesn’t surprise you that I’ve become part of the family?” Kah’lyn asked curiously.

"Nope." Came all three of them. Leilani and Fulvia were both over at the kitchen counter, having some breakfast. Leilani was in a pink nightie, while Fulvia was dressed in some gym gear with three ribbons tied around her left arm. " I thought it would take a little longer. Xalanth is a great many things, but when it comes to flirting, he can be as dense as dark matter." The Nova Roman said as she finished her yoghurt.

"I take it you told him directly?" Leilani asked.

“Actually I was asking about my teardrop birthmark and it kind of went from there” Kah’lyn grinned as she gave a wince at still having a sore back, mainly because she hadn’t let Xalanth’s finish off treating it. “Xalanth was my first, I never found anyone else and now I understand why.”

"You had a matching birthmark as well?" Fulvia replied. "I had one in the shape of a sword, but the assholes who ran the arena burned it off. "

“Really?” Kah’lyn was fascinated now. “You all have birthmarks? I know mine means Sacrifice.”

"No, nothing for us two," Leiliani answered as she glanced over at T'para.

“So that’s not a link we all have,” Kah’lyn nodded. “Well we’re all a part of Xalanth and that’s what matters.”

"Indeed we are," Fulvia added with a smile. "Whom speaking of are lord and husband I'd better get down to the gym to see him."

"Kandact." T'para explained as Fulvia headed for the door, but not before hugging Kah'lyn. "It's a semi-ceremonial sparring match that dragonains have. It's meant to let each individual let out any frustrations they'd gather over the week."

“Sounds interesting Xalanth will have to teach me, it’ll come in handy after a rough day.” Kah’lyn smiled. “That’s providing he’ll let me if I’m carrying his child.”

"He has other ways, so you and the latest girl will be fine," T'para reassured her. "Any questions about bearing a dragonian hybrid from the girls who pioneered it?" She added with a smile.

“Plenty!” Kah’lyn nodded. “I’m of mixed genetics to start with so that worries me somewhat. How long should it take before a sickbay scan will show it? What about gestation for a hybrid? What should I look out for?”

"Around a month before sickbay can scan to show it, though you'll know before that," T'para replied with a warm smile, looking over at Leilani. Clearly both of them knew what they were talking about. " Gestation is around six to seven months. They grow very quickly due to the dragonian regenerative abilities. It will make you tired and hungry constantly for a while, but you will adjust to it. Genetics won't be a problem dragonian DNA really likes bonding with other DNA."

Kah’lyn nodded. “That’s a relief, thank you T’para. I will need to make it official with the doctor though as well. If I need advice I’ll know to come to all of you.” She grinned. “The assumption is this will be a girl, I know Xalanth said there are a lot more girls born than males, is it really that rare to have a boy?”

"Back on his homeworld, the ratio is very heavily skewed towards females. Dragonian males need a very low temperature to develop inside their eggs. Given a womb is a very warm place it a very small chance of a hybrid being male." Leilani added. " I wonder if yours will sing like mine did."

“Sing?” Kah’lyn grinned. “You’ve got to tell me more about that!”

"The telepathic members of our family will sing to you whilst in the womb," T'para replied fondly, her own hand moving over her own. "They can communicate whilst in the egg with chirps, and that ability seems to be tied to the mother’s telepathic genes."

“That’s amazing!” Kah’lyn smiled. “Betazoid children normally don’t develop their abilities until adolescence, does being part Dragonian make a difference in that area? Obviously my child would only be a third Betazoid.”

"Travla and Antistia developed their abilities within the first year. Yazar and Antistia developed their abilities around the same time, but they can only connect with close family." T'para added.

Kah’lyn nodded. “Sounds about right for the connection, but in the first year is certainly early. Thank you for letting me know that, I can be better prepared for it.”

"Don't mention it." Leilani replied opening her arms to invite her sister wife into a hug.

Kah’lyn smiled moving over to accept the hug from Leilani. “Do you know how weird this feels knowing I’m your head of department?” She grinned.

"No more weird than the rest of our family is." Leilani replied with a smile. She beckoned T'para to join them in the hug, which the half-vulcan did with her own smile.

“Yeah I guess you’re right there.” Kah’lyn added with a smile. “I finally feel like I’ve found my place.”

The three held each other, simply enjoying the feel of each other. " As pleasant as this is, we do have the girls' breakfast to prepare." T'para added.

Kah’lyn couldn’t help but giggle. “Then let’s not keep them waiting, can’t have hungry children can we?”
