| - Interspecies pregnancy occurs when at least one parent, either male or female, possesses the hyperseeder trait. How this trait manifests itself during fertilization and the pregnancy depends on which of the parent posses the hyperseeder trait. In pregnancies where the hyperseeder trait comes from the male parent, at the moment of fertilization, the sperm cell emits a genetic marker to the egg, which, when transformed into an zygote, emits this marker immediately to all other sperm cells within the womb during intercourse. Upon receiving this marker, all sperm cells are then compelled towards the uteran wall, where, after making contact, inject their RNA into the wall, where it passes into the mother's blood stream. The RNA quickly seeks out T-Cells, and bonds to them immediately. By doing so, this prevents the mother's immune system from registering the xeno embryo as a threat, and instead a natural part of the mother's body. One the primary threat of the mother's immune system is nullified, the xeno RNA then begins to seek out red blood cells to bond to, which then begin to spread throughout her body through the circulatory system where they eventually wind up back in her bone marrow. Because this process takes a relatively long amount of time, and the immediate threat to the xeno embryo is the genetically hostile environment of its mother womb, during the transitional period of the mother's body into a more genetically compatible state, the xeno embryo, in its earliest stages, subsists primarily on nutrients found in the father's semen, rather than from the mother herself, which are absorbed through the embryonic wall. This takes the burden of feeding nutrients to the offspring off of the mother's body during genetic transition, and is the primary reason why males of species with the hyperseeder trait produce such a large amount of ejaculate, relative to the number of sperm cells in said ejaculate. As the RNA altered red blood cells are carried throughout the mother's body, and eventually breakdown and re-enter her bone marrow, the mother's bone marrow then becomes infused the the xeno RNA, thus allowing the mother's body to produce red blood cells that are genetically compatible with her alien offspring, while at the same time regulating oxygen to other parts of her body safely for her and her baby. At this stage of the pregnancy, the mother's body has been sufficiently altered by the xeno RNA as to no longer by reliant on the original xeno RNA from the father's sperm cells. Rather, any new cells created during this period within the mother's body are simply genetically compatible with the xeno offspring, and the mother's body becomes self sufficient in both regulating her vital functions and nurturing the growing alien offspring within her womb. Finally, at the end of term, when the mother's body is infused with enough xeno RNA to be self sufficient and completely safe environment for the alien offspring, the milk glands in her breasts begin to create genetically compatible milk for the soon to be born offspring. Once pregnancy ends, the RNA is flushed out of her body in two main ways - the amniotic fluid, which is flushed out of her body during birth, and through simple waste disposal. It can take two to four terran weeks for the alien RNA to be flushed out of her system, as, while her body simply begins to create cells within her that are genetically compatible to her original genome, the lingering RNA must be deposited for disposal through her digestive system once their respective cells breakdown into waste product. Naturally, the length of this process and when it actually begins after childbirth is dependent on how often the mother expunges waste and how often she breast feeds. So long as breast feeding occurs, whether through natural means, i.e., breast feeding her offspring, or artificial means, i.e., using a breast pump, stimulation of the milk glands causes them to constantly produce more milk, which requires more alien RNA infused cells. The mother's body only stops producing alien RNA altered cells and begins to flush them from her system proper after breast feeding has completely ceased for at least ten terran days. In pregnancies where the hyperseeder carrier is the mother, the trait does not manifest immediately. In truth, it does not 'manifest' at all. It simply takes a shorter time for the mother to alter her DNA to accommodate her xeno offspring. During the initial stages of pregnancy, the embryo is in no danger from the mother's immune system, as whatever alien DNA the offspring possesses is simply processed as an incorporation of the mother's original genome on a genetic level by the mother's T-cells, and reacts as the embryo being a natural part of the mother's body. At the stage of pregnancy where the embryo has reached the fetal stage, and becomes properly attached to the mother's body via umbilical cord, as red blood cells and from the mother passes through the xeno offspring, hyperseeder receptors react to the embryo's genetic code, altering themselves to be compatible to the baby. As they travel throughout the mother's body, these adapted cells eventually make their way to the mother's bone marrow, where her body then starts to produce cells perfectly compatible with both herself and her baby, allowing her milk glands to produce safe milk for her offspring to drink. In situations where both parents possess the hyperseeder trait, the pregnancy's term and development is shortened in length, as both the father's sperm cells and ejaculate ease the burden of supporting the offspring on the mother's body in early development, allowing her body to react and adapt to the baby's xeno genetic code even faster than it normally would. In situations such as these, the pregnancy lasts usually only 50% to 75% as long as it would have if only one parent possessed the hyperseeder trait.
