look who's expecting
Ivory splashed fur glowed in the moonlight as she took up her place next to the lake. She would have preferred to gather everyone around her palace, but the patio was too small for the whole of the pack. Here next to the water in the chill of the night there was plenty of room in the grasses on the shore. Belle sighed contentedly before titling back her head and calling out for the pack. They were not required to appear, and she called out her joyous news to the far borders of her territory. Their Empress was with child.
ooc- anyone is welcome to join! Come congratulate Belle, will have a baby shower a week or so before due date. Posting order is going to be pretty lax as well <3

Paws marched on the earth as the male made his rounds. With everyone getting use to their duties and ranks Hannibal had been doing quite a bit of patrolling. Ensuring their borders were strong and scented. Due to the pack being so new many natives wouldn't be aware of them and Hannibal didn't want anyone mistakenly trespassing. But, his patrol was cut short when a breathtaking song hit the midnight air. Goosebumps prickled up his spine as the sound of his Alphess made it's way into his ears. Ever since he had been told he wasn't allowed to have Belle until she popped out the spawn he had been in an odd way. It was the teasing and being so close to the dam that put him on edge. Though, he would never allow something so petty as not being able to bed the babe to put a wedge between the duo. The most important aspect of their relationship was ruling a pack. Nothing came before that, not even love. Not before long the male was upon his dear sister. Belle was at the water's edge with the moonlight hitting off her rounding belly with ease. As if the moon was kissing the life that was growing within. A little grin could be seen as the Klein Prince trotted forth to greet his sibling. "You look ravishing, Empress." As the distance closed Hannibal brushed his muzzle against her right cheek. After a moment he broke away to politely sit a few tail lengths away with his back to the water. As if to be able to watch as others make their way out of the forest to gather. Hannibal wanted to be able to observe all of the spectators. He trusted his family but there were a few reactions he wished to take in. "I am sure Banshee will be very excited to have some cousins around." The adolescent girl was painfully alone in the adult world. Hannibal Speech |
Archon walked comfortably to the call, coming upon Hannibal, who he gave a light nod to, and Belle, who he greeted with a warm smile. It was a small smile, one that didn't break any promises of professionalism in front of others. "See? Easy." it seemed to say, although they both knew that wasn't true.
"Empress," he greeted, his voice rumbling with excitement. "Allow me to formally introduce to you my companion, Obi Mon Kinobi." Obi gave a low, respectful bow before coming to stand again. "Congratulations, Empress."
Zee's ears perked as the stunning call filled the night, a warm smile coming over her face. So it was true then, her mistress was with child. "I knew it." She put down her project carefully - it was a mat for the Empress, woven with vines. Zee was a mere slave and not afforded a companion with nimble hands to do the precision work and so she spent most nights when on break from Deathbelle's side taking great care to thread the vines through each other one by one best she could. It might not look as luxurious as the pillows she'd commissioned from a proper crafter, but Zee hoped her mistress might appreciate the effort all the same. Making sure to leave the work in progress in the cleanest area she could find, Zee rose to skip out of her den and towards her Empress's call. There was no command in her voice and so she didn't think she was required at her mistress' side, but she wanted to be there to share in the joy like everyone else. Padding up behind Deathbelle, the small slave gave a deep bow. She wanted desperately to nuzzle into her master's neck, to congratulate her with love and light as what felt right in this joyous occasion... but Sirius' words still frightened her. How awkward would it be to ask permission to give a hug? "Congratulations, Mistress." She said warmly. "Is there anything I can get for you in this happy time? Your pillows are on their way, I promise." A wide grin came over her face, and having greeted her master first she turned to Archon. "You were right, God did bring me here for a reason." Pandering to him felt odd - as Zee really had no belief in higher powers - but her mistress seemed fond of the large male and the easiest way to connect with him was to respect his religion. "Speech" "Thinking" "You." |
