I knew and expected that once we mated I'd be jealous of her time, that I'd have a hard time seeing her around other males of any species, but no one warned me that I'd be envious of her loved ones. It's not a good look for one of my standing.

"You get to carry him, it's my only connection until he's born; jealous?"

"No, but I'm hot!"
