   Summary

   Ryland Grace is unknowingly pregnant when he is put into suspended animation and sent on a suicide mission to save Earth from astrophage. After completing his mission and turning back for Rocky, he and his friend have to navigate ever-complicated human pregnancy and parenthood during the 4 year trip to Erid. After touchdown, will Erid be willing and able to support two fragile human lives? What will Grace have to do in the name of bravery for his child? What does life look like for a child of the stars?

   Will be a four part series. Updates every Sunday and Wednesday.
