Sonia is resting sulkily on the ground, breathing heavily. (This is pretty much what happens when you have giant second trimester belly. It is still v. annoying.)

Angela frowns, thinking. "Have you been to a doctor? To get checked out?"

She's seen the hospital...therefore, there must be a doctor here.

"I haven't met him yet," she says thoughtfully. "And you should probably get checked out...if nothing else, maybe he can tell you how far along you are. Tell you how long you need to wait."

"Yeah." She thinks.

"Usually, it's about nine months. Did you...get pregnant here or before you came here?"

"So...how long have you been here?"

She ignores the blushing. They're both women!

Angela thinks. "You could be six months along, then. Something like that. So...maybe you have three or four months left."

Angela gives her a sympathetic look. "'Fraid so. Do you have stuff for the baby yet?"

"Um. Clothing, blankets, diapers?"

At least that much!

"A crib?"

"Sonya, it's a little person. He or she is going to need clothes."

Even medieval kids had clothes!

"I'll help you find things," she says. "If you like."

"It'll be okay. You can always ask Mel for hand-me-downs from her kids too. I'll bet she has a crib or something."

"But there are others here who do. And me, I at least took care of my little brother when he was born, if nothing else. I'm not living here on the Farm anymore, but I'm here all the time anyway."

"Oh, down the road a little ways. My boyfriend and I wanted to have a place we could call ours, you know?"

"It is pretty nice. It's not huge but it's a nice place, and I think we'll be comfortable there this winter."

She hopes. She's a California girl and doesn't much like the cold.

"Yeah, we've got a good bit laid away already." She grins. "Also, turns out the owner was big on solar energy so we've got that, too."
