There are certain instictual behaviors that indicated a Caitan female was Pregnant. Digging or building a den. Antisocial behavior and strange appetites were the time honored classics. As was typical her Mate recognied the danger and as was usual retreated hastily from being near her. In this case he as a civilian teacher chose to use all of his accumulated vacation time and the Paternity time he would be elegable for to visit his family on Cait. It meant he would be gone over a year but such pregnancy retreats were part of Caitan culture out of nessesity. She tolorated him till the shuttle finally left.
If M’Nalie had been tempermental and prone to anger issues before her pregnancy she was a lit fuse as it progressed.. Shecompensated by being cloying sweet in a sarcastic manner or avoiding coworkers completely. She did not talk about being pregnant to anyone and even Lippscotte was baffled over the changed behavior assuming it was because of her apparent ababdonment by her mate. This was in fact a textbook example of when a CNS ougt to intervene Lipscotte would be heard to remark frequently.
M’Nalie of course would never go near the CNS office. Her dispute with Lt. Darren had never been properly resolved and she turned a deaf ear on any mention of tge CNS department.
M’Nalie was reluctant to see a doctor as well. The doctors on the ship were all specialists in fields unrelated to pregnancy. And worst of all they were all male. She tried really hard not to look down on males and to treat them as her equals. But her pregnancy was a line she would not, could not cross. No male involvement was permissible.
.
M’Nalie finally made her way to sickbay and asked not for any doctor but for Nurse Pillar.Ensign M’Nalie Eshenti. Engineer.
Pilar was sitting at one of the desks when M’Nalie entered “Ensign, how can I be of assistance?” She asked standing up and moving over.
Head Nurse
M’Nalie was relieved that she did not have to deal with to many people to find the person she wanted, she was what could only be discribed as a emotional roller coaster at the moment. “Nurse O’Keefe. Can we talk in private?”, She said her rumbling tone serious. “I have need of advice of a nature that I can not and will not discuss with the /MALEs/, who dominate your profession on this ship.”, she rumbled her tone nearly a growl as she mentioned the opposite gender.
Ensign M’Nalie Eshenti. Engineer.
Pilar nodded and took M’Nalie to a private room “Ensign what’s going on?” She asked as she took out a tricorder and waited to see what M’Nalie had to say.
