Vulcan,
The
note was in Standard English and in Sarek’s impeccable handwriting. I scanned
in vain for an error in grammar or spelling, but it was futile> Anything
hard-copy by my husband was accurate; he simply couldn’t afford to be seen to
be in error by anyone. Then I absorbed its contents.
‘Amanda,
it appears that pregnancy in a human female subconsciously encourages her
protective instincts. For the third night in succession I have
endured a physical assault during your sleep.
Since any attempt at my sleep is futile, I shall now remove myself to the embassy
offices and endeavour to capitalise on your erratic behaviour by taking
advantage of an early start to work.’
Sarek
Actually,
my subconscious just needed hugging... I suddenly wished I’d kicked him a
little harder.
Then I felt my water break.
