Oliver tapped off an email to Zac:
Zac,
Would have mentioned this sooner, but I only found out myself.
Sari-Lyka's conceived. She's due about November. (These Adigei's have
insanely short gestation periods, practially all the women on this
station are jealous!)

A few hours later that day, Zac was checking his email. Obviously, Oliver's was on of them, and he wrote a reply:
Hey Oli!
Thanks for the news (although you'd like, being my wife, she'd tell me
herself - and here I was thinking it was the women who always complain
about not communicating!).
Don't tell Faith, Julie (or a few other women I could mention) that
you're referring to time spend pregnant as 'gestation period'. I don't
think it would go down well somehow, lol.
