I didn’t know that something was wrong; I’d never been pregnant before. And no one had ever been pregnant with you, Simon.
This chapter was the most emotionally difficult to write, and is still the most difficult to read. Probably because I was tapping into my own feelings about pregnancy and childbirth, and how you have to reconcile yourself with your own parents’ relationship.
It’s a funny chapter to have in a YA fantasy. “Dragons! Kissing! Introspection about pregnancy!”
