Faulty Test Strips
Relkir was sighing. Relkir was sighing a lot. Despite doing everything the doctors had said, despite everything Relkir had been doing, the pregnancy test had come out negative. Again. And Relkir couldn’t understand why.
That being said, Relkir, had some idea what the problem was. Gath, Relkir’s partner, was a troubled...Read More »
Eggy Confirmation
“Is… is it official?”
Doctor Ekal had been Gath’s doctor for a long time. Gath liked Ekal, mostly because Ekal made Gath feel better. Ekal was also a specialist when it came to the treatment of both Defensive Stance and the many issues it caused, and they had kept Gath alive...Read More »
Baby Finds Out
Litvir rarely got messages to urgently go to their adopted parents home, but the moment they had finished their patrols, Litvir had raced back home, narrowly avoiding a ship and a planet or two as they did so, and… Litvir briefly forgot that both mama Gath and dada Relkir had...Read More »
The Parents Find Out
Gath had been rather relaxed, looking things up and watching documentaries about kids, but all of a sudden, they had gotten up, rushed to their office and grabbed their large tablet, the one Gath used for video calls. They rushed back downstairs, threw themselves on the sofa, beckoned Relkir over...Read More »
The Sibling Finds Out
“Relkir? Are you alright? We have hardly spoken!”
Relkir wanted to pick up their pace, to get back to their office, finish work and leave as soon as possible, but the person that had just called out to them was the High General and also Relkir’s sibling. It was rude to...Read More »
First Check-Up
“Hello, General! Please, come in and sit down!”
Gath had admittedly arranged this appointment a little early, but their doctor had specifically said that Gath could arrange an appointment early if Gath wasn’t feeling right. So that was what Gath had done, and now they were anxiously making their way into...Read More »
Cookies and Advice
“Hello, Litvir!”
“Hello, Miisa…”
Normally, Litvir would be much more enthusiastic about their regular cookie meet-ups with their forever-friend Miisa, but clearly they weren’t doing too well. Miisa noticed this immediately and decided to be blunt and ask what was wrong.
“You are not right today.”
Litvir inspected Miisa somewhat before answering, then wished...Read More »
General Discipline
“Relkir?”
Relkir was rushing around their office, clearly looking for something. They were so lost in whatever it was that they were looking for that they hadn’t noticed both the High General and their beloved forever partner standing at the door.
“Relkir…”
Relkir still wasn’t paying attention.
“Relkir!”
The change in tone snapped Relkir out...Read More »
Scholarly Invite
Relkir should have been surprised to see a shadowy being in their office, sitting on their desk, but since their adopted child was a deity, surprise was less of a problem these days.

Sudden Lay
“See, that was not too bad, was it?”
Litvir glanced around awkwardly, not really paying attention to Gath’s words. There was a lot on Litvir’s mind, mostly the fact that they were supposed to be heading back to their patrols soon but they had been delayed on their flight with Gath...Read More »
Missed Moment Misery
“I am so sorry.”
“It is fine. You were not to-”
“I am so, so sorry.
“It is fine. You-”
“I do not know how I can apologise further.”
“It is-”
“I failed you.”
“Relkir, please stop.”
“I-”
“Relkir!”
An uneasy silence crackled down the phone line. It took too long for anyone to start talking.
“You have been beating yourself...Read More »
Future Sibling Worries
“So you didn’t see anything?” Kohra asked as he puffed up his fur in a bid to protect himself from the cold.
Litvir shook their head, and shuddered slightly. Normally, they had no problem with the depths of space, but Litvir felt uneasy today. “Uh, no, not on… normal light. In...Read More »
Meeting Egg
Relkir felt oddly wobbly as Elkay pulled them and their kid through a shadow, and the three of them appeared underneath a familiar tree. In front of them was that adorable little orange-painted half-house, and waiting for them were three happy faces.
Elkay stepped back a little bit, allowing the colossal...Read More »
Sleepy Egg Thoughts
The bed was a little small and cramped, but it wasn’t really meant for two people. Really, it wasn’t meant for one gigantic Rethan either, but since Gath was spending family time with their parents and their partner, Gath didn’t care one bit.
Huddled up by Gath’s side was Relkir, who...Read More »
Egg
There were a lot of large, armoured beings gathered outside this tiny little room, but they were all transfixed buy the small plastic box, and they hardly noticed when yet another large, armoured being joined them. But none of them were important. Not to the small, round egg inside the...Read More »
Overprotective Big Sibling

Flight Home
Being a heavily socialist society, Rethans had a lot of ready to use, ready to hire equipment when it came to babies. The idea was always that one uses baby equipment until their baby doesn’t need it any more, then one cleans and repairs the baby equipment and hands it...Read More »
Baby's Room
“Oh, you have been busy!”
Gath peered around baby Retvik’s new bedroom. The last time they had stood in here, the room had been empty, and Gath was due to fly to Thresisa. Relkir had been home more than Gath had, they had left for Thresisa later and come home earlier,...Read More »
General's Blessing
The Kentron was quiet today, but not unintentionally so. The High General had made sure that they had no meetings, no events, nothing important and related to work, because they had something big to celebrate.
After months of being off work, the Keeper, the General of Heroes, was returning to the...Read More »
