“Dad says when Mom starts craving fruit, it’s a sign she might get pregnant again. That’s why he’s cranky.” Oh. He was rather cranky to us earlier with all those comments about the healer. I fight back a wince. “Everyone gets moody about resonance,” I say cheerfully. “I’m sure it’ll pass soon.” “It’s not resonance. It’s that Mom has a hard time being pregnant.” He looks stressed, the poor kid. “Dad told me once she almost died when carrying me. It was easier for her with Daya, but what if it’s not easy with the next one?” My goodness. I move to Rukhar’s side and hug him tight.
