"First comes love, then comes marriage, here comes..." ...well, she's not pushing a baby carriage just yet, but it looks like she'll need one soon!

The previous picture of Tetsuko in a wedding dress was first published at the Amaz0ns message board (to great acclaim, if I do say so myself... seem there are quite a few people out there who fantasize about marrying Tetsuko). And some of the responses would speculate about the natural "next step"...of course, that Tetsuko and her lucky husband would start having children. Voila! Inspiration for a new picture!

As I replied in that topic, this pic is to be treated as a possible future; I haven't decided yet It hasn't been discovered yet whether, and how, the formula Tetsuko was forced to take has affected her reproductive abilities. (It may have rendered her sterile, for all anybody knows.) But this picture garnered an enthusiastic reception as well.

(One of the more interesting observations about this pic was that Tetsuko looked "tired"... a "happy kind of tired", but tired nontheless. I think I know what happened: in a ham-fisted attempt to delineate a lower eyelid on Tetsuko's face, I apparently overemphasized it. Oh well... the picture probably works better this way.)
