Surprise?

Walk | Talk | Think Anais lay curled up within her large den, ears tucked while her lemon-gold eyes stared nervously and unseeing into the faint darkness. Her earlier conversation with Lior played back repeatedly within her mind's eye, pairing the look on her sister's face with the sound of her surprised voice. Pregnant? It happened so fast, far faster than she had anticipated, though both she and Glacier had known that it was a possibility when they had finally crossed that line in their relationship. They had both welcomed the thought, the idea, but here and now it was something else entirely. It was their reality, pups would soon be their world. And there was no going back. As prepared as she thought she had been at the time, the golden hunter felt nervous. It was a big commitment, one that she knew from the start. She had experience with children, had raised her own younger brother and taken on the mothering role even when she was young. But Glacier had admitted to being nervous about the idea. He had told her he was not as experienced with young ones as she was and that it came awkwardly to him. He had also expressed to her that he was prepared to start a family with her, but that had been when they were only talking, caught up in the moment. Would he feel the same now? He would be by soon, she hoped. Her den was as much his now, and she hoped that if he found his empty he would come to hers. She needed to tell him, needed to give him a chance to settle in with this new reality they had created for themselves. And while she anxiously waited, sighing a quiet breath, Anais pondered how she would break the news. |
