Zeph & Neela decided not long after the media attention surrounding their marriage began to die down that they should have a baby. They had their respective 'people' arrange the permits whilst they got busy with the 'fun' part of making a baby. They'd been told that it could take awhile to get pregnant so never expected to discover that they had a child on the way before their permit was finalised! Being as high profile and popular as they are has it's benefits however and the permit was rushed through once Neela's publisist explained the awkward situation to an official.

The fact that the media darlings, Zeph & Neela Lancombe, had been approved for a baby was picked up quickly by the intergalatic media and the buzz was huge, which created a problem for the Lancombe's as everyone knew when their permit had been approved, so they ran the risk of someone realising that Neela was too far along for the dates to work out. To balance this out, they told everyone that Neela was due a month later than she actually was, and she complained very publically throughout the pregnancy that she was bigger than she'd expected to be at the (fake) number of weeks she was.

Io Meridiana Lancombe was born full term weighing a health 7 pound 8, but her medical records were doctored to say that she was born 5 weeks early, weighing only 4 pound 10... They got away with the ruse and when they agreed to sell her first pictures to EARTH magazine when Io was 2 months old, they made special mention of how very pleased they were with the growth Io had achieved and she was now on par with other babies her age, and they were so very relieved that her premature birth had no lasting effect...
