"I was gonna order those one of these days," Ebony admitted, "but it seems you've done the job for me. Now I don't have to pay the extra shipping and handling fee."
It was then she heard the familiar sound of Boost's engine, "My bro's come looking for me. I bet he wants to know why I'm taking so long, but I know I gotta take some movies to Phoenix. She's near bored out of her mind just being cooped up with that baby."

"Er... yeah. I've heard of that. How far along was she again?" said Kamui.

"Eight months," replied Ebony, "and she's at the end of her term too. That, I know, would be very uncomfortable for her because the baby is kicking a whole lot more than usual. I know how that feels."

"Probably waiting to just get right out there! I can't say I 100% know the experiance because I had Hideki factory-processed when the time was right," said Kamui.

Well, you shoulda seen me after the twins were born," said Ebony, "I was completely exhausted, but I survived because I had lots of help."

"I brought two to term like Ebony and Phoenix did," Lynda replied with a sharp laugh. "It didn't get any easier the second time, let me tell you! My poor hubby had the wheels run right off him because he got real protective and wouldn't let anyone else take care of me! Fortunately we timed them for the off-season so he wouldn't miss out too much on racing."

"Same thing with Slaytor," Ebony replied, "He insisted that I get complete rest while he did all the work. He is very protective of me too. I love him for that."

"Maybe that's why a lot of folks opt for the factory." Lynda sighed with a rueful look. "The girls don't want what it does to their bodies and the guys don't want their animal side taking over and being driven by hormones and instincts to stay by Mama while she's carrying and nursing, but it's kinda like the Interstate vs. Route 66 - they don't know what they're missing."
<<< So if a female is carrying for the whole term, it can be just as hard on her mate as it is on her, with him getting all studdy and protective on an instinctual level. Of course, modern, "civilized" sapients don't like to think of themselves as animals, so the nice, clean "Factory option" might look better and more convenient.>>>

"I still don't understand that reasoning," said Ebony, "mothers don't get full maternal instincts like we do. I have them and that makes it easier for me to raise the twins."

"And it makes fathers closer too." Lynda nodded. "Even if we coulda done without Strip getting snarly one night and almost ripping the face off his crew chief, who was just new at the time, when he couldn't recognize him in the dark. Poor guy was rolling on glass for a while afterwards."
<<< "Rolling on glass" --> walking on eggshells, pussyfooting>>>

"Yikes," Ebony said, "That must've been scary. At least Slaytor behaves around me. I got him twined around my antenna."
It was then that Boost came into the store, "Yo, Ebs. What's takin' ya? Nix is getting bored."
"Alright, Bro," said Ebony, "I'll be over with some movies in a little bit."

"Racecars are... different. Always on the edge, so they have to take care not to bring it into their family lives. I'll talk to you later, OK?" Lynda waved to Ebony.

"Alright, see ya later, Mrs. Weathers," Ebony waved back, then she went about gathering up a couple of movies for Nix.

"And Ebony and Melody have already been a big help throughout her term." Kitt said as the pair pulled back into town. "Melody's been a second mother to Nix. And it's been a long time since Nix had a mother figure in her life"

"I know," agreed Sapphire, "At least they were there. They would most likely help her through labor too. Hey, there's Ebony. Hi, Ebony. What're you doing?"
"I'm bringing Nix some movies to watch," answered Ebony, "She's bored again. How about you?"
"We're just heading there ourselves," answered Sapphire, "We'll join you."
"Okay," said Ebony and the trio made their way to Phoenix's and Boost's home.
Boost joined them a little later.
