"Well, that's good to hear, considering I've got some interesting news. Affects both of you, in a way."
"Oh, really? What?" asks McHenry.
"Well, Selar, it appears that your child is going to have a sister or brother."
"What?" She shook her head, not comprehending. "I do not understand, Burgoyne. I am not having twins. And if you are under the impression that we will be making a second child at some point in the future—"
"No, no. Actually, I guess I should have said half-brother or half-sister. You see…" Burgoyne cleared hir throat. "I'm a little surprised about this, I'm the first one to admit it. But, well… it appears that I'm pregnant. Congratulations, Mark. You're going to be a father."
And Mark McHenry passed out. Slumped right back onto the med table unconscious.
"Well, well. Guess that proves there's some things he can't take in stride," observed Burgoyne.
Selar shook her head scoldingly as she reached for a spray hypo to bring McHenry out of it. "That was not funny, Burgoyne," she said as she prepped the hypo. "Making up something like that just to prove you could get a reaction out of him." Then she stopped, the hypo poised in midair as she said warily, "Burgoyne, you… you were making that up, were you not?"
Burgoyne smiled cryptically.
