Scott's parents easy acceptance of what she was helped Ami to relax a bit more, but then his father went and made a comment about folding space and she had to blink. She'd never really considered the mechanics behind the ability to teleport; Adam and Megabyte had puzzled it out on the quantum physics level, but the conversation and theory was so far above her head that she had given up trying to follow. 'Folding space' sounded such a simple explanation on the surface, although Ami figured that it was probably more complex than the words described.
(Years of doing it and never really gave any thought to how or why I could do it,) Ami mused. In the midst of her surprise, Scott's father went on to say something about children, which made Scott flush and caused Ami to squirm and blush a bit. Until his father made the comment, Ami hadn't really given much thought to her future with Scott; the assumption was there that there would be one - she couldn't imagine her life without him. But the future was close, not far, focused on day to day survival. However, with the suggestion laid out like that, Ami realized that thought wasn't unpleasant or unwelcome.
(I am in so deep,) Ami thought, and the thought was not frightening in the least.
She caught Scott's eyes, and in light of her current train of thought, her heart did that skip thing that made her smile with happiness. /Don't worry, I'm not out to trap you and make you a father yet. Although, speaking of fathers, what am I supposed to call your parents?/
