Best Babysitter

Dalila grinned as Aliana pointed out her presence to her daughter and Rusalka squealed with adorable puppy excitement, the splattered girl bouncing over to her and nearly crashing into her front legs. She caught Ruse to keep her from falling over, leaning down to nuzzle the top of her head. "I'm glad to hear it," she replied to the report Aliana gave her about how sweet and well behaved her girl had been. She chuckled and gave a little roll of her eyes with a grin to Aliana when she asked about her day, calling her the 'fearless leader of Fenmyre'. Nudging Ruse to go continue playing so the pup could wear herself out for bedtime, Dalila focused her attention on Aliana with a small shrug. "Quiet and unremarkable, luckily," she replied honestly. Her biggest fear was that they would end up being attacked or some other calamity would befall them while Chimera was recovering and she would be forced to do more than simply maintain their current state.

Luckily she wasn't left to ponder that for very long as one of the pups Aliana was carrying kicked the air from her lungs and made Dalila giggle softly while the clouded woman rubbed over her quite large stomach. She had been thrilled to hear that Aliana was pregnant again and had been watching her progress with interest and excitement, desperately hopeful that everything would go smoothly the same way she had been when she gave birth to Rusalka. Even though the world had calmed and most things had gone back to normal she still felt like they could all use something to celebrate and nothing would make her happier to see Aliana as a mother after what she went through with her first pregnancy. She grinned and giggled as Aliana asked her if she was bigger than last time and she nodded easily without hesitation. "Oh yes, I think so." She stepped a bit closer and settled next to Aliana to curiously rest her paws on Ali's stomach, gently examining her and the pups she was carrying. "It's certainly going to be a large litter that's for sure..." she commented as she struggled to count exactly how many she felt.
