(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (rubbing her pregnant belly) “You know, I think I’m enjoying this pregnancy so far.”

Sayori: “Good, Natsuki. We can’t believe you’re having a daughter.”

(Suddenly, Natsuki’s unborn alien daughter - Xanthus - telepathically communicates with her.)

Xanthus: “Good morning, Mom! Can’t you feel me kick using my Xenomorph tail?”

Natsuki: (startled) “Oh, Xanthus! You startled me. Good morning to you too. And yes, I can feel your kicks. They’re definitely unique, thanks to your Xenomorph heritage.”

Xanthus: “I’m glad! I can’t wait to meet everyone on Earth. It’s fascinating to experience this planet through your thoughts.”

Monika: (entering the room) “Hey, everyone! Oh, Natsuki, are you talking to Xanthus again?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, she’s just saying good morning. Isn’t it amazing how we can communicate like this?”

Sayori: “Totally! We’re living in exciting times, that’s for sure.”

Yuri: (joining the conversation) “Indeed. It’s quite surreal to think that we’re witnessing the unique bond between a human and a xenomorph.”

Natsuki: “I think she’d love to communicate with you all!” (looks at her belly) “Come on, little Xanthus! Don’t be shy! Say hello to your Aunties!”

Xanthus: (telepathically) “Hello, Aunties! I’m so excited to meet all of you. Thank you for being here for my mom and me.”

Monika: (smiling) “Of course, Xanthus! We’re here to support you and Natsuki every step of the way. We can’t wait to see you.”

Sayori: (giggling) “You’re going to have the best aunties, Xanthus. We’ll make sure to spoil you and teach you all sorts of fun things. Like baking cupcakes!”

Yuri: (gentle smile) “I’ll have to brush up on my knowledge of Xenomorph anatomy to better understand your unique heritage, Xanthus. It’s an intriguing opportunity for learning.”

Natsuki: (rubbing her belly fondly) “You’re already an important part of our club, Xanthus. We can’t wait to see the amazing person you’ll grow up to be.”

Xanthus: (telepathically) “Thank you, all. I’m lucky to have such caring and supportive aunties. I can’t wait to meet you in person and have more adventures together.”

(As the girls continue to bond and eagerly anticipate Xanthus’ arrival, the clubroom becomes filled with warmth and excitement, brimming with love and anticipation for the future.)

(2 months later - the imminent birth of Xanthus)

(In the local hospital…)

Natsuki: (in the delivery room, holding Monika’s hand) “Monika, I’m so nervous!”

Monika: (squeezing Natsuki’s hand) “You’ve got this, Natsuki. Remember to breathe and focus on the end result - meeting your beautiful daughter.”

Sayori: (standing beside them, wiping away tears) “We’re all here for you, Natsuki. You’re going to be an amazing mom!”

Yuri: (reading a book on xenomorph anatomy in the corner) “Just a few more pushes, Natsuki. You’re doing great!”

Natsuki: (struggling but determined) “I…I can do this. I want to meet Xanthus.”

(With the support of her friends, Natsuki pushes through the labor pains, finding her strength.)

Doctor: (excited) “Congratulations, Natsuki! It’s a healthy baby girl!”

Natsuki: (exhausted but overjoyed) “My…my baby…Xanthus.”

(The doctor places the newborn baby in Natsuki’s arms, and tears of happiness stream down her face.)

Monika: (teary-eyed) “Oh, Natsuki, she’s perfect.”

Sayori: (sniffling) “Welcome to the world, Xanthus. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Yuri: (closing her book and approaching the scene) “She’s truly remarkable. Congratulations, Natsuki.”

(Xanthus, wrapped in a soft blanket, opens her dark, curious eyes and gazes up at her mother.)

Natsuki: (whispering) “Hey, Xanthus… Welcome to our world. We’re going to have so many incredible adventures together.”

Xanthus: (making soft baby sounds) “Mom… Aunties… Thank you for bringing me into this world. I can already feel the love in this room.”

(The room fills with warmth and joy as Natsuki, Xanthus, and the rest of the club begin their journey together as a unique family, ready to face any challenges that might come their way.)

(7 years later - Natsuki’s second child is on the way)

(In Xanthus’s futuristic-looking room…)
