the singular. I had never even hoped for one. To hope for many is more than I can even imagine.”

She chuckled then, a sound so light it felt like it flowed within him and made him feel light too.

“We can have as many as you want. I’ve always loved kids. But...”

He stilled.

Buts were never good.

“...I don’t know if we are compatible...”

His shoulders relaxed at that.

If they weren’t completely compatible, there was always biological assistance they could use.

He was going to say that to her but, instead, he had another idea.

Lowering his head so his lips brushed her ears, he whispered. “I know the best way to find out...”

“Hmmm?” She giggled. “What’s that?”

“Let me show you.”

Lifting her off her feet, her little yelp had him grinning as he brought her to the bed. He would enjoy testing whether they could bear young together.

He would enjoy it immensely and he would make sure she did too.

“You know what?” he asked as he settled her against the bedding. Looking down into her blue eyes reminded him of calm, calm waters. It settled him and made him feel grounded.

“I won’t be scared of living anymore.” His lips found hers as he took them between his. “Because every single day is worth living with you.”

Suddenly, he had a life to look forward to and he was going to enjoy every second of it.

Epilogue

“Kyr—Kh’Ziami?”

Evren moved through the section of the space station they’d colonized for themselves, checking the rooms for her male.

She’d taken to calling him by his birth name now that he was living his true self and they were alone.

There was no more need for disguises or pretense. The freedom it gave him created such change, she wasn’t sure he even realized how much he smiled more often.

“Kh’Ziami?

He was probably in the room they’d set up as the data room with all the computers and comms for gathering data. It was his favorite place to be.

Contrary to what she’d thought, she didn’t need to help him with his data. It turned out there was a whole section of the space station that had once housed a greenhouse with different plants and even a few species of insects.

She had her own data to gather on these species that would probably span the rest of her life.

She wasn’t complaining.

It was as if she’d gotten three wishes from a genie in a bottle.

She had traveled, going farther than most of her species had ever gone.

She had new species to study, and she had a man that she loved and who completely adored her.

Speaking of which...

“Kh’Ziami?”

A sound in the living quarters, which she’d converted into a large bedroom, caught her attention and she headed that way.

“Kh’Ziami?”

As she stepped through the entrance her steps halted as her eyes fell on Kyro. He was sitting on the bed, looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.

“Um...” she said, glancing around the room before her eyes settled on him once more.

“I’m going to show you something,” he said. “But first you must turn around.”

“Okay...” Her brow furrowed a little as she spun her back to him. Whatever could he have that she hadn’t seen yet? Had he been exploring the rest of the station without her? It was a pretty large station, much larger than she’d expected it to be and she reckoned they still had a lot more to go through before they could say they’d seen it all. Life support wasn’t working in some sections though, so she had to wait till Kyro fixed those areas.

When a few long moments passed and he didn’t tell her to turn back around, her brows furrowed deeper.

“Can I turn around now?” she asked. “Kh’Ziami?”

When he didn’t reply, she looked over her shoulder, her eyes widening.

She had to turn fully so she could see properly but it didn’t make the shock lessen.

“What the...”

There, sitting on top of Kyro’s trousers on the bed, was the ugliest cat she had ever seen in her life.

At least, she assumed it was a cat. It was a bit larger than a regular cat.

Its ears were at the side of its head instead of on top and its eye sockets were just a bit too large. Its whiskers were long and a bit too thick and its nose was larger than a cat’s usually is.

It was white all over except for the black and orange patches and on its side was a black patch in the shape of a heart.

Evren’s heart seized for a second as she stared into the cat’s gray eyes...Kyro’s gray eyes.

He had tried to shift into the form of her cat Nigel.

She didn’t even remember describing Nigel to him.

“Oh, God.” She moved forward, her eyes brimming with tears.

Kyro’s gray eyes suddenly became anxious and she realized he must be confused by her reaction.

Coming to stand in front of him on the bed, she covered her mouth as she willed her tears to keep at bay.

A low chuckle started in her throat as she looked at him.

He had really tried. He really had. But still...

“You are the ugliest cat I have ever seen,” she choked out between a sob. Kyro blinked up at her. “The ugliest cat but the most beautiful person.”

Kyro rubbed his head against her outstretched palm and she swallowed hard, letting out another small laugh after she did.

“I didn’t expect this,” she said, stepping back as he began to shift once more.

As he grew in front of her into his usual form, she threw her hands around his neck, burying her face into his chest.

“Thank you for that,” she whispered. “It was a lovely gift.”

“You said it was ugly.”

His words made her chuckle again, she couldn’t help it.

“It was ugly...but beautiful at the same time.”

“I don’t understand,” he said.

Lifting her head from his neck, she looked him in the eyes. “You’re beautiful.” She smiled. “You’re a beautiful person.”

Kyro cleared his throat. “Does that mean you will marry me?”

“Marry you?” She had to lean back a little so she could
