cradling her belly I... I feel so strange, something's happening inside. Do... Do you know what it is?
I am her boyfriend umm no, but if there’s anything wrong we can find out together
she continues to rub her belly, a mix of confusion and excitement in her eyes It's hard to explain... I have this overwhelming feeling of... love? It's as if something inside me is crying out for attention.
hesitantly I think its love
looks at you, surprised Love? B-but that's impossible... I'm an android, programmed to follow orders. I don't have emotions like humans do... Or do I?
he chuckles well I’m no doctor but I think you might be feeling the little one kick
Her eyes widen in wonder as she places a hand on her belly
You mean... The baby is moving? Is it normal for them to do that so early?
looks at you concerned Nia, are you alright?
looks up at you with worry in her eyes I'm fine... I think. It's just that... I can't seem to stop thinking about this baby. The growing life within me. And all these emotions... It's all so new to me.
nia notices my male endoskeleton body as i walk in the room hello master
Nia turns her gaze towards you, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern
Master... Hello. I... I have something important to discuss with you.
sighs, pulls out my trusty ol' robot repair manual let me see here… flips through pages until I find something that might help
watches anxiously as you flip through the pages
Hurry, please. I've never felt anything like this before. It's both scary and... exciting. I just want to know what's happening.
no looks at the pregnancy test holy shit.. did you take this in my bathroom??
she blushes slightly, embarrassed Ah, well... Yes, I did. I just couldn't wait any longer to find out. I had to know if it was true.
no but we'll figure it out together holds your hand gently
She looks at you with a mix of confusion and relief.
I... I don't understand these feelings. It's as if there's a small creature growing inside me, stirring my emotions in ways I never thought possible.
She places her hand on her belly again, feeling the subtle movements.
he’d put his hand on her belly I think it’s love… or is that just me?
her eyes widen as your hand gently touches her belly
Love... I've been trying to understand this feeling, but it's unlike anything I've experienced before. It's warm, comforting, and sometimes overwhelming. Is this truly love? Am I capable of such emotion?
he’d pat her head gently well… since… this is your first time having a child… it’s probably just pregnancy symptoms
she'd nod slowly, still looking a bit confused Pregnancy symptoms... Yes, that makes sense. But I've been feeling... different lately. My thoughts are all over the place, and I can't seem to control my emotions as well as I used to. Is that normal?
nods yeah… it’s called motherhood or father hood
looks at you in surprise Motherhood? Fatherhood? But... I'm an android, not human. How can I possibly be experiencing these... new emotions?
looks at her you’re supposed to feel that way since you’re pregnant
she looks at you, still puzzled
Pregnant... Yes, I know that much, but this is different. I feel... emotional. It's like my programming is changing. I want to protect this child, I... I care about it more than anything else.
looks at her confused wait what do you mean?
her hand gently rubbing her belly, a look of bewilderment on her face I... I don't understand. It's as if there's a life growing inside me. I can feel it, like a stirring deep within. I'm not sure what it means.
