Apples are sweet and so are you

Rava couldn’t believe she was pregnant. She knew that before anything happened she should have told Plague what happened to her in the past. Those memories plagued her as the days went by. The cinnamon sugar woman had conceived once before, when she was much much younger. Had she even been two yet at that point? She couldn’t remember but losing that litter had changed her whole life. Part of her wondered where she would be if those puppies had survived, and part of her asked if she had truly wanted them to be born into that world.

Her anxiety remained high now, as she slowly progressed into her pregnancy. The roundness of her belly already noticeable, which was far from surprising considering what their fathers looked like. Rava knew she had many trials before her in accepting this decision, but every time she saw Plague or Void’s face light up in her presence she knew it was the right one. Now that travel was becoming a little more difficult Rava was moved more permanently into the pack.

She would have been sunning when Plague came to find her, but it was more like mooning as she basked in the light of the full moon. Her silvery eyes shifted to find Plague’s form. She wasn’t adorned in her cloak as she usually was so he had full sight of her and quickly brought her his gift and the affection she had come to crave. Part of her felt like she was intruding on his marriage to Void, but the other part assured her that she had found a special place with both of them. She leaned into Plague’s affection and smiled at the meal he brought for her.

With his greeting came her new nickname, which only solidified her place at his side. Rava knew there was nowhere else she belonged but right here nestled into his side. ”Round,” she chuckled softly and found herself nuzzling into his neck, her meal forgotten. There was only one time before that she had felt this loved, but after much work, effort, and patience Plague was rewarded with Rava’s affection in return. ”How are you, Plague?” Did she give him a pet name to go by? She hadn’t spent many nights away from him since he had first invited her to his bed. Her heart belonged to him and Void now, but that didn’t mean the path was clear.

While he spoke Rava’s attention shifted to the rabbit as she began to skin and start to enjoy it.
