    Summary

    You're a good mother, Nahla. You are. I mean it.

    "You're—kind, but—"

    "You were to me," Caleb whispers—the ambiguity of their dynamic has always added a certain thrill to it for both of them, Nahla as his caretaker and his lover, his guide and his safety, older and wiser. It, somehow, is what she needs to hear. "You have been to our kids, and you will be one again."

    He tells her what she wants to be told until he believes it.

    Summary

    It's all symmetrical--Caleb loses a mother, Nahla loses a son. Caleb gets his mother back, Nahla gets another child. Caleb's flesh is cut up and bruised and burned, then kissed and stroked and molded up into something entirely new. The sun is the focal point of the Sol system; Nahla is the warming fire that comforts at a distance and eviscerates when you get too close, the only thing available for Caleb to orbit around. There's so much to think about, so much to breathe in.

    And it's Father's Day.

    Summary

    She's missed this desperately; nighttime bucking fantasies and memories of how her body had slid around and over Caleb's, how she'd rocked against him and how he had cried into her neck with cutting gemstone tears and how she had petted his head, stroked his hair, comforted him like only a mother could---this is never enough compared to the raw, present sensation of Caleb Mir guiding her robe open.

    Little warp cores are pushed to the side---this had been a gift when she started getting bigger.

    Summary

    "I know Cadet Mir is the father," says Lura, and every little bit of flesh that composes Nahla strings further apart with each syllable.

    Summary

    Hesitantly, with a face still hidden: "SAM has been trying to make up nicknames for us too."

    "Oh, yeah?"

    "She…" A clearing of the throat, a sharp inhale. "She called me… Callie."

    Summary

    "Thank you, computer, I think I get the picture. You're killing the mood here."

    Nahla inhales with a sharp laugh; she must be hallucinating the hint of intrigue that she feels permeate the air around her, slide underneath her blankets, invade. When the computer speaks next, her tone betrays a seemingly genuine curiosity: "The mood, Captain Ake?"

    Summary

    "What bothers you, cadet?" she asks, noticing the frown spreading across Genesis's face. "You look pretty down. Take a seat."

    She manages it: "I want you to teach me how to stop being afraid."

    Summary

    She watches as Lura studies her collection with intrigue, picking up each piece to examine its girth and length and texture.

    "You've been around," notes Lura.

    "I've had some time to grow my collection," Nahla reminds her. "Many of them were gifts from... very satisfied past lovers."

    "Do you always have to be this cocky?" Jett laughs.

    Summary

    She presses the tip of her boot against Nahla's forehead.

    "You're a cold, cold woman, Captain. In another life, I might keep you around, make this a regular thing. But my people? They won't respect me if I let you walk out of here."

    "I understand."

    "But if you want to make things right before you die, you can start here. Kiss my boots."
