Putting in effort

*Dalila* · 10-15-2021, 10:23 PM

Now that she was nearly half way through her pregnancy she was beginning to get to the point where her stomach was round enough to start hindering her day to day life. She had already more or less put herself on bedrest pretty early on because of all the cramps and dizziness that continued to plague her, but now more than ever she was pretty much confined to her bed or at least the area around the large building they lived in. She tried to think back through Siren's pregnancy, trying to remember if her lover had gone through similar problems, but besides the nausea she couldn't remember Siren having as many negative side effects as she was living with—not at least until the delicate woman was just too round to move easily. As much as Dalila didn't want to lay around and do nothing, she had developed a vested interest in carrying these pups and if rest was going to help make sure that she did that then that's what she'd have to do.

She was alone in the room for a while, Siren and the pups out enjoying the nice day. Dalila looked out one of the large windows with her head on her paws, sighing softly as she considered what to do with her day. She was used to working and doing things all day every day so even if it was a little thing she just wanted to do something. She finally settled on going out to the garden to see if maybe she could at least gather a few herbs or maybe keep Aliana company and carefully pulled herself out of bed, waddling slightly as she started making her way out of the room and down the corridor. Her going was pretty slow so she wouldn't wear herself out before she even got outside, but eventually she stepped out into the warm Auster sun and she paused for a moment, just enjoying the feeling of the warmth on her mottled fur.

The breeze brought her Chimera's scent and she blinked with surprise, turning her head till she spotted him working on something down near the beach. She considered her options for a moment and watched him until she finally turned her path down toward the beach. You'll have to play the part. His words had stuck with her in the days that followed him finding out about the fact that she was carrying his pups and whenever she was feeling up to it she did try to spend more time with him than she ever had. She had gone from avoiding him when possible to actively trying to seek him out. She wanted to show that she was serious about making this work for the pups she carried even while she was still actively working through her own emotions. She offered him a gentle smile as she approached him, sighing softly as she eased herself back onto her haunches in a soft patch of sand. "Do you mind if I sit with you while you work?"
