Galway Girl

Zuriel fidgeted nervously while she grew more anxious as time passed. Part of her had expected him to arrive a little more quickly, but she tried to brush those thoughts away and tried to assure herself that he was just busy with pack duties or maybe she happened to catch him while he was on the other side of the territory. Finally after what felt like ages his large red form came into view and she left out a slow sigh from the breath she didn't realize she had been holding. She pulled a small smile onto her lips in response to his own and she nodded to his comment, feeling slightly off put by the shortness of it. "It really has been."

Before she could say anything else, before the floodgates of information could break open, her brother made her ears flick back against her head and guilt fall heavy onto her shoulders. Of course he would have smelled her scent around Lirim's borders and it only made sense that her children's scents would be mingled in her own. Two things she hadn't bothered to think of. She didn't need to tell him she had children, he could figure that out on his own. "No, no! You didn't," she hurried to insist as he looked away from her. "No, it was me, I-" Her throat began to tighten up and choked off her words. Her two-toned gaze fell to the ground, unable to look her brother in the face. "I-I was too ashamed to come back here. I took the pack for granted and thought I could take care of myself, b-but..."

She tried to keep her tears at bay, but she knew she was fighting a losing battle. Her words tumbled out one after another, not giving Regulus any time to interject. "I found Faite right after... I found her and I thought I could just hide for a little bit longer and I could make myself useful and help her with her pack and just distract myself from everything and I didn't know... I didn't know how to tell y-you." Zuriel's eyes squeezed shut, still refusing to look at him while the tears that had gathered there spilled over into her fur. Her voice dropped to a rough whisper. "If I had planned on or wanted to be pregnant I would have told you in a heart beat... But I hadn't and I didn't. But now here I am."
