“In two different bodies.Alejandro is putting in dibs on being the father of the next kid.Syrn might beat him.No one knows.”Hera smiled.“I hear you live just down the road.”
“Worro has a farmhouse and workshop.We have an appointment this week to actually get my name on the deed.Then, I will live down the road.Right now, it is just an ongoing sleepover.”
Hera blinked.“But...”
“I came into this marriage with nothing.No house, my wardrobe is basic office attire and jeans.I have four sets of shoes.It took us an hour to move me out and in.My entire life fit in my car.Worro didn’t fit in it, so we had to use his truck.”She smiled and sipped her soda.
“Well, I am sure you will have some nice wedding presents.”Heraina smiled.
“Why?The wedding is over.We start over from here, and I get to build my bank balance to get ready to help Wellin go through training or to university or whatever he wants to do.”
Heraina smiled.“You take care of him?”
“He’s taken care of me as best he could, and now it’s my turn.”She smiled.“Misker is staring a hole in you right now.”
“I know.Worro is more casual, but I think they want to watch us dance.”
Keera looked around and saw the lady that she had in mind, and then she went over and asked her if she would dance.The woman smiled and nodded.Then Keera went to Hever and spoke to her; she grinned and nodded.The DJ was the last stop, and the music changed as the dancer began a slow undulation to the centre of the space, and then she twisted, twirled, and moved her body, hips, and chest while her arms wound through the air.
She danced to three songs with three different cultures represented, and when she was done, the ladies applauded, and so did the gentlemen looking down from above.
It was a fun party, and many of the partygoers wanted to learn how to move like she did.
Keera smiled at her and stayed quiet.

Hever watched the lastof the dance demonstrations and walked over to a friend, who was attending.“Cabree, it’s so good to see you.”
The programmer smiled.“It was nice to be invited.I don’t get out much.”
“Me neither, but here we are.You are looking good.”
“Thanks.I had a med visit today so that I could get through all the festivities, but you are worth it.”
Hever squeezed her hand.“Thank you.”
Cabree smiled.“Are all these ladies friends?”
“Some are friends, some are Krix’s family, some are coworkers, and others are escorts.Oh, and some are my family.Leska and Tirra are my sisters on the genetic level.”
“That’s interesting.”
“Tirra had a mother, as far as we know.Me and Leska were in incubators.”
“I had no idea.”
“Well, it doesn’t come up in casual conversation.”
Cabree chuckled.“Do you want me to involve myself on that little buggy project?”
“Please.There are some haptic responses that are all over the place.”
“I can work with that tomorrow.”
Hever smiled.“Thank you, but for tonight, enjoy the party.Have fun with the new people, and there is one woman in here who is an active null.”
Cabree blinked.“You are kidding.They normally die in their teens.”
