what to expect when you're expecting

as she waited, formulating what to say to him, Acere appeared from his den. he looked a bit sleepy still but greeted her warmly all the same. she felt a warm sensation as he rubbed his muzzle against her own, and she closed her eyes to breathe him in without distraction. "good morning" she breathed against him. as he stepped away, she'd recline on the earth and patted the area next to her with her tail. he'd want to be sitting for this.

he also seemed to notice her discomfort. she sighed softly. "I'm fine, Acere" Heloise began with a soft smile as she shook her head. aside from her tiredness, she was raring to get involved with Winterfell after her injuries healed. "I just felt we should talk about something." she'd drop her gaze to the ground briefly before raising her eyes to look him square in the face.

"Acere... I... I have no way to say this delicately so I will just come out with it. I'm expecting. no - we're expecting. I am pregnant."
