we'll take a long walk through the cornfield

He appeared out of the forest life a wraith from the woods. His quiet paw steps into the dappled moonlight barely audible over the sounds of the night. Winter was around the corner and yet crickets and frogs continued to fill the evening with their song. Chimera’s dual toned eyes fell upon her and the corner;s of her pink lips pulled back into a soft smile. She could almost forget the tumult that led to this moment. To tell him. There was no hesitation as he strode up before her and carefully tipped her chin so that he could more easily press his lips to hers. It was a sweet and tender gesture she wasn’t sure she could ever tire from.

His deep voice rumbled against her lips before he kissed her again. A pleasant surprise, before another surprise. This was the moment of truth. She knew her brother had no desire to beat around the bush and he wouldn’t appreciate her dragging the true reason for seeking him out. Or waiting on him rather.

Chimera curled himself around her and tightened his grip to her chest. She rolled into him, taking comfort in his close proximity and guarding nature. He had no reason to suspect what she would tell him, but she would keep to the truth as best she could. "I might have another surprise too,” she spoke timidly and buried her face in his chest. She didn’t have any idea how he would take her. "I’m pregnant.” That could be easily taken care of if, "I want to keep them.” Her words were no lie, she knew he would assume they were from their night together.
