[The Family Is Growing Again]

There had been something that we waited a little while to tell everyone. Something major that we didn't want to make it seem like we were trying to lessen the tragedy of what had happened.
I hadn't noticed when I first got home because I was swarmed by everyone, their scents mingling together, but Star was pregnant again. She had apparently gotten pregnant the night before I left for the war. I had been a little extra passionate with her that night, just in case. I had known that dying was a possibility, we all had. And that possibility came true for one of us in the house.
