Into the Ether

"So it turns out..." He eyed her and resisted the urge to eye the baby. "So it turns out that having sex while in heat makes babies..." His browspots rose as if this was news to him. "Oh, really? Huh. Who'da thunk it."

If they could have risen any higher, Valentine's eyebrows would have shot up into his ears as he noted Cascade's off-kilter demeanor. He wracked his brain trying to remember if she'd been this way after their first litter. Mostly he just remembered her being tired. He didn't think any mania had been involved. "I didn't want to call for you when I realized what was happening... the babies and everything..." And just as suddenly as they'd risen, Valentine's eyebrows fell and knit together as his brow furrowed. That stung, honestly. Did she really think he'd be too busy to be there for the birth of their son? If he'd been given the opportunity he'd have come running. "You should have called anyway."

"Where'd Integra go...?" Valentine blinked. Who? Where? OH. Whoops. His head snapped around and his eyes settled on...no one. He'd been so engrossed in Cascade and the baby that he'd forgotten the young healer was there. "I...guess she went to go get that moose."

Her explanation squashed the small, nagging voice that had wondered whether or not she'd hidden her pregnancy from him. "I did not steal a baby. I only steal girlfriends. That's the way it works." Her final words, on the heels of what he thought was the beginnings of a serious conversation, pulled a surprised snort of laughter from him. "Fair enough. So..Chaos, huh?" He crept closer so he could see the newborn better.
