If Leto looked a little tired, he did have a good excuse, even if he didn't need as much sleep as he had when he had still been only human. Having arrived in Fandom expecting a fun pizza dinner with Ghani, he had instead found Alice, pregnant and distressed, and tried to have a calming influence on her while taking in a few things:


1. Alice had been in Fandom for a while and no one, including Ghanima, had told him.


2. Alice was expecing their child and was due to give birth very soon, the result of his accidental visit in Wonderland about eight years ago for him. Now, having merged with the sandtrout, fathering children was no longer possible for him.


3. All this was rather surprising, and as someone who could see every detail in the future of his universe, surprises were few and far between.


So he had ordered a very large cup of coffee and sat down at a table by the window. A quite substantial amount of Spice had been added to the hot drink, and he now sipped it, trying to deal with the conflicting emotions while the future mother of his child had some time to herself. First of all he was intensely happy. He had found Alice and he was going to be a father. But that joy was clouded somewhat by the fact that Alice wasn't well at all, tormented by ghosts of the past, and that she had hidden from him with Ghanima's assistance.
