Oh where oh where has my little dog gone

Her fishing expedition bore fruit, to mix some metaphors, in a surprisingly short amount of time. Kai came moseying up with all the amiability and well-restedness of a wolf who hadn't just single-parented three energetic puppies for a month. She scowled at his pleasant greeting, then narrowed her eyes slyly and with fake casualness said, "Its funny you should ask. Its not so much what today is, but about a special occasion that you have, unfortunately, missed. A birthday." She waited a beat, scowl losing none of its heat, before adding, "Your kids' birthday, in fact, because you and your super swimmers over there managed to get me pregnant. Congratulations, woohoo, you're a daddy now." No point in small talk before getting right into the meat of the reason she'd called him there, and certainly no reason to cushion him from the shock either because she sure hadn't been.
