Lirien and Calian were sitting on the couch in their living room, staring out the window at the stars in the night sky. They had been married for a few years now and had been through a lot together, from Lirien's transformation from a robot to a real organic body to the Earth's integration into the Galactic Federation of Post-Sapient Species. But now they were ready for a new chapter in their lives - they wanted a child.
"I've been thinking about it for a while now," Lirien said, looking over at Calian. "I know it's going to be a big responsibility, but I think we're ready for it."
Calian smiled and took Lirien's hand in his. "I couldn't agree more," he said. "We've been through so much together and I think we can handle anything that comes our way."
The two of them talked about what it would be like to raise a child, the challenges they would face, and the joys they would experience. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they were excited for the adventure.
They decided to start trying for a baby and soon found out that Lirien was pregnant. They were overjoyed and couldn't wait to start this new chapter in their lives. They knew it would be a lot of hard work, but they were ready for it.
As they looked out the window at the stars again, they knew that they were part of something bigger now. They were part of the Galactic community and they were ready to face whatever challenges came their way. They were ready for a new beginning.
