Children Quote by Moira J. Moore
““Do you plan to marry him?" Doran asked. "What? No!" Why would I do that? "Have children with him?" "Definitely not." It was unlikely, within a Pair, both of us channeling. Channeling and Shielding tended to prevent conception. And even if it were possible, Zaire, what a bad combination. With our luck any children would have my looks and his mood swings.””
