These Eyes of Mine

"...I mean everyone else around here seems to go into heat and then get pregnant right away." Perhaps. "Cascade wasn't in heat when she got pregnant, you know, so if I were you I wouldn't upset myself so thoroughly over my heat," now there was a weird thought, "or my body, not behaving the way you think it should." She didn't have a lot of data to work with. Her worries were based on a single season - her first season - and Valentine staunchly believed it was too early to tell. Of course the only way to tell was to treat her following seasons just as carelessly as he assumed she'd treated this one.

"You're not bothering me," he said gently but firmly. "Although I don't know how much help I can be. Clearly," he said in a lightly joking tone, "I am not a woman and I don't have much experience in these things." He paused for a second to think. "I would take that bad feeling with a grain of salt." There was something to be said about gut feelings, but they weren't always right. "And yes, I think going into heat is a good sign."

Honestly he didn't know who he knew who would be more qualified to talk to her about this. Any woman, he mused, could probably do better than him. Cascade, maybe, since she had conceived in unusual circumstances and was, in Valentine's eyes, very wise. "I really don't know...um, Cas maybe?"

"...but having the option not there is more upsetting than I thought it would be." He nodded. That feeling he could understand. "Please don't think of this as an absolute yet. Give it some time," he said softly.
