The word 'babies' provoked a shudder that went all the way down her spine and had nothing to do with the wandering hands. "No thank you. Some women are meant for children and I am just not one of those women. I'm not even good with kids of other species, much less kids of my own species." Kang's kids in the Sensoriums had taught her that much. "Every time someone hands me a baby I feel like I'm going to drop it. And they cry and smell. I only have one thing in this world I want to love that much and it's my X-wing."

Really. She talked to it while she worked on it too, sometimes in a baby voice when she was sure nobody else was around.
