Minutes began to pass and she began to get anxious, worried that she had been mistaken and they weren't here after all. She was afraid that her search and her call had been in vain and eventually some other pack member would find her and send her away. Luckily it seemed her fears were unfounded as the form of her father suddenly came into view. A wide, joyous smile slowly spread across her muzzle and she felt that lump of emotion in her throat once more as tears welled up in her vibrant gaze. Her wail whipped wildly behind her and a soft whine sounded in her chest as her chest pressed to his, her neck curving to return her father's embrace. Finally, after all this time, she was reunited with the wolf that she had emulated for so much of her young life. The wolf that she could only dream to grow up to be. She smiled and looked up to her father as he stepped back, silently grateful that he didn't question her on her absence. She knew that he deserved an explanation, and he would get one, but it was somehow comforting to know that her presence was enough to earn her forgiveness. She opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly a whine caught her attention and when she glanced past her father she saw her mother hurrying toward them. A smile broke out across her muzzle once again and she happily returned her mother's affections. It brought back so many memories of being curled up against her mother in the days that her father had been missing, memories she was happy to hold onto for the rest of her days. "I missed you so much too! Both of you, I've missed you both so much. I can't tell you how much I've thought of you and Folan and Ara and Mercury... I looked for all of you for so long when I went back to Seracia and it was gone. It was months before I finally ran into Folan and he told he where you were living, but I was in Covari at the time and I was afraid that you would be gone again by the time I got here... I didn't want to be lost again. But then Covari was gone and I was homeless again..." She stopped, tears welling up in her eyes again as she looked at the both of them, a smile on her muzzle proving that they were happy tears. "I'm just so glad I've found you." Finally when she took a second look at her mother she noticed the darker woman's swollen sides, her joyous look being replaced with one of surprise and intrigue. "Mom... You're pregnant? Are you really pregnant?" The green gaze she had inherited from her mother found Silent's and her eyes widened, a smile finding her muzzle again. "I'm going to have more siblings?"
