Barepaw and pregnant in the den

Her quiet, easy agreement worried him more than anything else would have. His gut twisted, and once again he found himself wishing he had more problems he could solve with a good heard bite. Here, he was useless. He knew nothing about healing, or what was wrong with Zee, or how to help her.

He wanted his sister, needed her here, to make this okay. The idea of something happening to Zee, of a sickness wasting her away. He started to feel a little sick himself. Dizzy at the thought. His entire world revolved around Zee now. Without her, he was nothing. There was no life.
