Doctor doctor, give me the news

She remained wrapped in an embrace with Ali as the other woman began to speak, making her ears perk as Ali made an offer that caught her off guard. She was honestly still wrapping her head around the idea of being pregnant at all so jumping right into the decision of whether or not she should keep the pups felt like a pivot that her mind and emotions weren't ready to take. She didn't respond as such right away though, instead leaning her head more into Ali's neck and rubbing the other woman's back absently as she considered it. She completely understood why she would make the offer. She was already so guilty about Dalila being pregnant and over the fact that the contraceptives hadn't worked so it made sense that Ali would try everything she could to get Dalila out of this situation.

So then the question became did she want to be out of this situation. The obvious answer should have been yes. She hadn't gone into this wanting Chimera's children and she had simply been too intoxicated to know better. If Chimera didn't know and if they could take care of it before he found out then there could be no chance of him wanting to keep the pups. She didn't know if he would or not, but she wasn't sure if she could tell him no if that was the case. He was the King and whether she had been in the right mind to do so or not she had willingly given herself to him while she was in heat. She had made her bed and in a way she felt like she needed to lay in it.

But the other part that weighed on her was the fact that her true love remained in Siren. If it ever occurred to her that she'd ever want to be a mother there was no way she would be able to have those children with Siren so she would have to have someone father them and it only made sense that Chimera would be the man to do it. She thought about her parents or lack there of, about how her father had killed her brothers and eventually killed her mother, how her mother had died just to prevent herself from getting pregnant by him again and being forced to carry pups that he would kill... This situation was far from perfect, but she knew she could be safe here and she knew that even if Chimera wasn't the best father or even a good father he would still be strikingly better than her own father had been. Whatever children she had here wouldn't be immediately put into slavery or have to grow up without their parents like she had.

After several long moments of contemplation she finally leaned back again, her gaze finding Ali's and her ears flicking back. "I appreciate the offer, but... I don't think I could kill pups like that. Even if they're not born yet." She glanced away, her paws finally slipping away from Aliana's shoulders. "My mother was a slave in the pack I grew up in and was raped by one of the guards. He killed my two siblings because they looked too much like him and his crime would have been found out. She ended up being killed by the same guard just to keep herself from getting pregnant by him again... Lost her life purely because she didn't want to see more pups killed." Bringing her gaze back to Ali's she added, "I just... I feel like if I kill these pups it's just a disrespect to what she died for..."

She didn't know if Aliana would understand where she was coming from or not, but at the very least she knew she had made her decision. But then that brought up another question for her. "Why haven't you done that for yourself?" she asked with a little tilt of her head. "I know you're a lot closer to Chimera than I am, but you seemed so upset about it the night after... You could prevent it for yourself. We can tell Chimera it was just a natural loss, I can help back you up." Perhaps she had made herself a lost cause, but she could keep helping Aliana if that's what the other woman wanted.
