    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace did not believe in fate or predestination but, perhaps, he should’ve kept a healthy dose of anti-skepticism in his heart, all things considered. Perhaps, if he had, his life might’ve gone an entirely different direction.

    [...]

    Grace finally noticed something was wrong when the lack of any noise snapped him out of his reverie. He finally looked away from his laptop, eyes faintly burning, and confusedly observed the coffee shop. Everyone, baristas included, were staring at the television, faces pale and drawn, utterly silent and motionless.

    And on that sunny day Dr. Ryland Grace found refuge in a coffee shop to escape the heat, all but one week on the dot past his self-ejection from the world of academia via carbon-based insults, jobless and with all doors pointedly closed in his face, the appearance of the very first Kaiju was shaking the world at large out of all previously known logic and scientific rationale.

    It wouldn’t be the last.

    Circumstances may be different, but a deep bond of friendship and love might save the day, nonetheless.

    Summary

    Of all the things in the universe Grace thought would be possible, him ending up pregnant with an alien's baby was not one of them. Yet, here he is, stuck with what's supposed to be a non-viable pregnancy with a heart that won't stop beating. They still have two years left until they reach Erid, and barely enough food for him to make it alone. So what's he supposed to do if this kid beats the odds and leaves him with another mouth to feed?

    ~~~

    Using a not quite human version of Rocky for this one. I wanted him to stay more on the alien side
