"My suitors are very kind to me. How did you get pregnant?" I asked. Stephanie paused and looked at me. "You really don't know?" I shook my head. Her jaw dropped. "Through sex. When a man releases inside of you, and that release encounters eggs. Now it makes a baby grow in the egg." That made sense. "Then I'm never having sex." I said defiantly.

"I'm pretty sure you suitors would be good at it." I shook my head at her. "We've already spoken on this. . . me and my suitors. They. . . think extra experience means extra pleasure." Stephanie started laughing. I frowned at her. I really didn't understand why. "When you finally do it with one of them it's going to feel so good. Anyways, take these books. Study these books. It will help you a lot." She gestured toward my table. It was covered in books.

"Thank you. I would ask you to sleep over, but I'm pretty sure your husband wants to watch over his wife." Stephanie grinned. "See you in the morning sister. Remember read them." She walked out of my bedroom. Fine. What could be the harm in reading one small book? A maid came in. "Your father asks that you come and speak with him." I nodded. The book could wait.

I walked into my father's study. My mother and father were talking to each other. "Yes Daddy." My father studied me. "You behave yourself, okay." I rolled my eyes and nodded. Then the guys walked in. How long ago was it? How long since I had been in this position? Oh god. It was about a month ago. I had know these men for over a month now.

"I expect you men to protect my daughter. You will not force yourself on her. Let her make her own decisions." My father instructed with much passion. "Yes sir!" They yelled in unison. I simply nodded. "Father?" He fixed his gaze onto me. "Yes darling." I took a deep breath for courage.

"I don't want to get pregnant or have sex. I know how marriages work, but can we work around that. Please Daddy!" I gave him my best puppy eyes. He sighed. "You can delay it, but it has to happen in the course of a year." I frowned. I hadn't expected that I'd be turned down. "Then I'm not marrying." I announced. "Honey why don't you want to get pregnant. Pregnancy is a gift envied by others." I shook my head.

"I won't. Pregnancy changed your body. I want to still be able to fight and do things. I don't want my body to be damaged by their actions. I will not allow it." I said. My foot was down, I was not going to budge. "Are you just scared of sex?" Nicholas asked. My foot was not going to budge, until it was attacked by another. "I am not afraid of sex. I just don't want to get pregnant. I don't think I can deal with the stress of children and trying to make my body my own again." I spat.

"Condoms! Us humans have a device that can prevent pregnancy." Thomas said. I sighed. No mini me's would ever be running around. "Okay. Make sure to supply some for everyone." I said. Thomas nodded.
