Fallen Tree Cove when the blue lights flash, i know we're going to crash

March 8th, Morning, Cloudy, 2°F (-17°C)

Over the last few days it had become noticeable that something had changed. The itch and stench were not as powerful as it had been about a week ago. In fact, it seemed...gone?

She felt free for a moment as if nothing could bother her. The woman briefly no longer wanted to crawl out of her own skin or seek the comfort of a companion. But that, well, that meant something. Suddenly the freeness she had felt only moments ago seemed to be snatched away from her. If her heat was gone that must have meant that she and @Kajika were successful. Truthfully, she hadn't expected much to come from the night. Perhaps it had been a foolish thought but she didn't know what to expect.

While she usually would have fled from the pack lands with such stress sitting on her, she hid in the back of the den. Her body protectively curled up into a ball. Her head was mostly tucked down but grungy yellow eyes peered out in case anyone felt like bothering her. She would have quite the show of teeth for him.

In the more recent days Kajika had noticed a slight intensity to Birtie's scent. It didn't seem to be so strong and then that day as he’d come across one of her more recent scent trails he noticed something had changed about it. It wasn't unfamiliar to him since he'd smelled that same scent on Namid and Moonshadow in the past. It took only a moment for him to realize what that meant. He suddenly became worried for Birtie and how she was taking it.

He wanted her to confirm his thoughts afraid that he might be wrong in his assumption. He wanted to be happy and excited and all those emotions that new father's felt. Then the thought would creep in that it was only wishful thinking due to him wanting his own children so badly.

When he found her she was in the den all.curled up into a tight ball. He knew she had to know about the change and what it meant. Thought it did worry him that she seemed to be so upset. He crouched down ok front over her giving the den a once-over. “Hello Biritie, are you okay?” He asked as his gaze came to rest on her.

She didn't know how to react to his presence. Part of her wanted to snap her teeth feverishly and the other part wanted to seek him out for comfort. So she settled for a nice in between and stayed right where she was. For now at least.

I'm fine. Her tail gave a few honest thumps against the earth. Sure, she was scared beyond belief for what this would all mean but she was fine wasn't she? Alive, healthy, all that good stuff.

Slowly she uncurled herself to crawl forward closer to the dark male. Her lips pulled back slightly as her teeth nipped gently at his chin. It was meant to be a show of affection and her tongue darted out to place a small lick just to reaffirm that. She felt the need to seek comfort and validation. The Parlow had no idea what came next or where they went from here.

When he found her curled up in the den he knew that he'd been right, she was pregnant with his children. He wasn't sure what to do, how would she react toward him? Would she be angry that he'd done this to her? She'd never said for certain that this was what she wanted.

Her statement that she was fine wasn't very convincing though the thumps of her tail on the den floor did help. He was both happy and scared to become a father. All kinds of questions ran through his head about what kind of father he would be. Then there were worries, would they have stillborns like Namid and Moonshadow.

As she crawled toward him he lowered himself to the ground. A smile crossed his maw as she nipped then licked his chin. The dark male then licked her cheeks. “We’re going to be okay Birtie,” he said softly, “We’ll be great parents,” he reasssured not only her but himself as well.

There is a family of deer nearby. Hunt Opportunity

She let out a soft laugh, the rarest sound to come from Birtie, at his comment. You might be but don't hold your breath for me. The Parlow had no idea what to do. Hell, she had never even been around kids really. She had older siblings but not younger. At least she hadn't had younger ones when she was still around. There might be some this year but obviously she was tied up with things here.

The large female pulled back from him to shuffle into the corner of the den again. A few stiff thumps of her tail invited him to come relax. You aren't busy, are you? She asked as one brow raised slightly. If he was only stopping by on his way somewhere else then she didn't want to distract him.

It wasn't often that he heard the cream woman laugh but it was a cherished moment when she did. She wasn't as convinced about her abilities as a parent, he chuckled, “Alright, we’ll stumble through it together." He wasn't so convinced of his in abilities. Sure he'd been around Namid's pups and Chan but they were never his. He hadn't had to deal with bad behaviours and everything else that came with Parenthood.

She'd stepped away from him and moved back to the corner of the den with an invitation. “No, I can stay as long as you like.” Even if he was busy this was important and he would stop it all to make sure she was okay. He took her up on her invitation and settled in next to her. “Are you worried?”
