You, Hodari, and Hassian have been together for nearly five years now, engaged for only one. It was no surprise to you, or to anyone for that matter, that the two Majri wanted a baby.

The three of you had been trying for the better part of seven months, but to no avail. Hours spent making love, and then hours spent crying over a negative test.

It seemed almost insane to keep doing this. No one, not even yourself, thought you could get pregnant. Not even Najuma, Hodari’s daughter, thought you’d be able to get pregnant.

Until you did.

You were nearing eight months of trying and failing until you got that one test that made everything change.

Positive.

Now you just had to figure out how to tell him. Lucky for you, however, Hodari was just coming back from a shift in the mines, And Hassian was just coming back from hunting with Tau. only a few hours after you had taken the test and received your results.
