   Summary

   Ryland Grace was ready to sacrifice himself and his unborn child to save Rocky. After realizing he won't be dying after all, he's now doing his best to prepare for parenthood aboard the Hail Mary with the limited supplies he has. With only his alien best friend for support, there is a lot to do before passenger number three is welcomed aboard.
