Something Different...

Walk | Talk | Think The flustered nerves she felt were immediately mistaken for panic, and Anais could tell by the worry that settled across her sibling's face that she was conveying the wrong emotion to her. No, no, this was possibly good news, really really good news! If it's true... She hardly knew what to say what to think, and her thoughts whirled as they tried to piece everything together. It was not like she and Glacier had deliberately sought to make the puppies, but risk of them during her season had stopped seeming like a risk at all. She was ready - they were both ready - and they had been willing to accept the consequences of their actions. Her body felt jittery as Lior scooted in closer and reached up to drape her foreleg around the hunter's shoulders, and the elder sister hunched down slightly to make the reach easier on the both of them. Puppies... Her thoughts continued to echo the word, over and over, and only stopped when the little grey healer at her side posed a personal, but no less relevant, question. Instantly Anais felt her cheeks heat beneath her fur, and her ears managed to pin themselves more tightly to her head. Goodness, this was not a conversation she had planned to have with her sister...but if she was going to have it with anyone, she supposed it should be her. "Well...yes," she haltingly answered, fidgeting where she sat and averting her golden eyes from Lior's. "But we didn't... It wasn't..." None of the right words seemed to be coming to her, and she could feel her embarrassment worsening by the second as she tried to explain that they had only given in to the moment. No, that was an irrelevant detail now. With her cheeks still burning, Anais tilted her head and leaned it against her sister's, whispering now herself. "I told him I was ready to start a family. We stopped...worrying about it after that." Puppies... "You really think I could be pregnant?" There was less worry now, and instead more wonder and awe, as acceptance took place of nervousness and the fate of her future was defined for her. |
