Amid the happy chatter, Blo's observation goes unnoticed. Regina puts a kind hand on Blo and looks up.

"T-Thomas..."

I turn. "Hmmm?" Then my own eyes go wide. "Oh...Oh! OH!" I rush to her side. "All right, all right. Girls, attention please," I say, calmly but quickly. They turn.

"Is it...Is it time??" Lucida asks excitedly.

"Oh, this is wonderful!!" Aurum puts her hands over her mouth.

They begin chattering again and I hold my hand up. I again speak quickly but very calmly. "Aurum, Lucida, Ferra, Aurora, Aegis, do exactly as we discussed. Lucida darling, I'll need your help, just like before.  Aurum, begin the final preparations just as we planned; make sure everything is in order and that you wait for my okay before sending out the notices.  Ferra, Aegis, Aurora, remember your parts, and help Aurum fill in the TCs on what we planned.  Everyone, Aurum will be heading the household for a bit.  Aurum, I need you to explain things while I'm busy."

"Y-yes, Father!" Aurum turns to the TCs. "Girls, just right this moment, I'll need you to..."

"Uhnnn...!" Regina doubles a bit, and her midsection begins to glow slightly. Despite her obvious pain, she's smiling.

I pick her up in the bridal carry. "Sorry, sweet...We have to start now. This is happening much quicker than the last time." I carry her quickly downstairs to the laboratory.

"I'll see you soon, darlings!" Regina says with a happy but shaky voice.
