Turns out that while they may not need to consume love anymore. They are still quite sensitive to and can make use of it, especially changelings still gravid with eggs.
 
Free Love thought she could squeeze one last Feelings Forum for the time before she had to lay, but as it turns out two of the attendees confessed love to each other during it. While she’d normally love it, turns out the lil display of fresh love has caused her body to take in the love as a final tiny lil growth boost and start labor right then and there. At the very least she’ll have plenty of others to help with the laying.
