<span style="color: #ff0000">"Anything you want, my love. Just say the word and it's yours." </span>Karrie wrapped one arm around Rachel's while Ana cuddled against her mistress and held her belly.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "She said I wouldn't be forced to raise it, and once I could walk after laying it I would be free to go anywhere I wanted. But now I just want to be here with you. I would be happy to raise the child here if you would accept it, but we can take it to the village and give it up if you want."</span>She leaned back in her chair and held her massive belly, the ridges and bumps on the egg plainly visible against her overstretched skin.<span style="color: #ffcc99">"I appreciate your concern Mistress but I'll be okay. You need the care and attention more than I do." </span>Karrie already had a mug of Rachel's favorite spiced rum waiting on the table.<span style="color: #ff0000">"Let her focus on taking care of you, it'll help her get her mind off everything." </span>Ana looked at Karrie then to Rachel with a smile, but the Troll would be able to see just how much pain her pet was in.<br/><br/>The'kal hissed and instinctively tried to pull away from the nebula but slowly relaxed and embraced Melody.<span style="color: #666600"> "Then before I lose you, I want you to know that I love you Melody. That our time together has been... a struggle but you have been wonderful and should we have met in another time I would have been honored to call you my wife. I know I just fought with Order about this but I would gladly give my life in this exchange to let you carry on... but then you wouldn't be happy."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
