457 What's Inside

"Hey, uh Carter." Carter stopped setting down the small object he'd been looking at. Nova was standing there and looked a little awkward.

"Is something wrong?" Carter asked seeing her face. She glanced about and looked like she swallowed. 

"Actually, what your dragon Tazani said earlier has been weighing on me a little. I'm sorry to be annoying. He was joking right?" Carter was a little confused and his face showed it. Nova kind of made a motion around her stomach. 

"Oh, uh," Carter glanced over to where Tazani had been. Stupid dragon, always causing trouble. Carter looked back at Nova and glanced at her stomach. He didn't even need to touch her, with the stigmata Carter immediately realized he could read others just being in the room. He didn't have to touch now. Carter gave her an awkward look.

"Do you want to know?" Carter asked seriously.
