The thought was enough to make her queasy. She had never particularly liked children, probably because her own childhood had been cut abruptly short. And she knew enough about herself that she could predict the future resentment she would have towards happy children.
Maybe she could finnagle something out of the disgusting little Tleilaxu in the hold and skip the whole pregnancy process entirely.
She knew her obligation though. She was the only carrier of the Siona gene in this new universe.
Knowing this, her hand settled in Duncan's. If he wanted to take things farther at that time, the invitation was there. But she was mature enough to handle the rejection if not. She would never be one of those women who mourned a lost love like a child with a broken toy. She would support him regardless.
