When I say timeskip, I mean very sudden ones, where they might appear in the middle of a paragraph. In the mission I just did, the author would have sudden jumps in the middle of a paragraph, like The next morning, she rode quickly. The journey took her longer than she expected and she arrived in Kuasta a month before she was due. Suddenly going from 'the next morning' to 'nine months later' in the same paragraph irks me greatly; I'd say you want a new paragraph, at least, for minor skips and show a more definite break in the narration for larger skips. YMMV, though, and I'm sure there's a boatload of differing opinion on this.
As for the baby, the stress of the timeskips on the Aviator's body caused her to deliver prematurely, though that's not going to be the only consequence. It'll be a few years before I can really show it, but since it'll be caught early on I don't see why I should keep it secret. Elanor's Time Lord ability to sense the flow of time is going to be a bit... messed up. On the plus side, HQ's wonky time stream won't give her headaches. On the downside, she's got about as good a sense of time as your average human.
Right now I'm not in school; my parents and I decided it would be better for me to withdraw for this semester and take some time off for a breather after what happened recently with the hospital visit. Right now I'm working as a video/photography production assistant (and having an absolute blast!) but it's part-time, so I got a second job at a department store where I'll be processing online orders and shipping them out.
