[There never has been an animal that likes attention as much as this one. She kneads the air as Niko shifts his hand to rub her belly. But he's also feeling around it, making sure the baby seems to be turned right (according to the standards he knows). And notices how taught she's gotten. It can't be long at all.]

[Whenever Boone's hand comes near her she tries to grab and lick it.]
