“No,” | told her, “the men don’t know what pregnancy entails. | don’t think they've ever seen a pregnant woman. They can’tcomprehend what is happening. They still just think I’m getting fat.”
“What will you do when you deliver?” an Earth girl asked.
“| don’t know,” | told her. | stroked my stomach and felt the familiar roll as the child moved under my hand. “They Like to studythings. | fear they will want to study the child,” | said quietly.

“You don’t think | have much time left, do you?” | asked quietly. “I have to do something quickly.”

Late in the afternoon the depression set in. | cried on my pad as | waited for my owners to come and get me. The feeling tore atmy heart.
