  Ronnie and Angela hugged Janet and told the girl’s goodbye, and then the tears started flowing. Angela had enjoyed having Janet and the girl’s spend the week with her. She loved being alone with Ronnie, but also missed female companionship from time to time. Angela was excited that Janet had asked her to spend some time at her house after the baby was born to recuperate. Angela could use the time to allow the girls to bond with the new baby. Frederica said that would also give her time to put some heavy hugging on the new baby.

  When Janet and the girls had teleported to their home, Angela put her arms around Ronnie and said, “It was nice having the girls her with me this week. You were right when you told Janet that I sometimes miss being around females.” Ronnie hugged her and said, “We need to throw a few parties in the cargo bay and put a little life into this place.” Angela smiled and said, “That will have to wait until this child is born.” Ronnie told Angela that this vessel did get very lonely sometimes, and even he sometimes needed to get away and spend some time off The Empress. Angela asked where he would go when he left the vessel before they were married; then decided she did not want to hear about her husband’s old girl friends, and retracted the question.
