βBut -- I thought you said Laida didn't want children.β
βShe didn't want to be pushing out baby after baby on Varada. This child is different.β
βWon't it be risky?β Suki asked. βWhat does Floran medicine know of novonids?β
βWe have good doctors. Novonid physiology isn't so different from human. With a little coaching from Varada, our doctors will do fine. It is a risk Laida is willing to take. Her child will be the first ever free-born novonid.β
βNykkyo -- I want another baby.β
βYou want another baby? You didn't want the first one.β
βI know I didn't. Babies will do that to you. I desperately want to have another baby.β She rubbed the inside of her upper left arm where her state-managed contraceptive capsule was implanted. βI know I can't. I know Andra can't, and neither can Senta. Florans are so ... so non-fecund, it's a wonder we don't have negative population growth.β
βWe have population stability -- right where the bureaucrats want it.β
βIf Laida is the only one of your friends who's pregnant -- well, maybe that's as close as I can come.β
βNovonid infants are adorable.β
βPlease introduce me to her. I'm the only one of your circle of friends who HAS had a baby. Maybe I can give her some advice.β
βMaybe you can. We'll make a point of it.β
