Actually, there are in the Australian and UK english spellings (I'm an Aussie), much like we spell it foetus, rather than the US english fetus. Maybe it's not the spelling in the biological community, but I'm not a biologist.

It wasn't really intended as erotica per se, so it's first goal wasn't to arouse, it was just something I felt I had to write.

But thank you ver much for your kind comments.
