It was not such a far off possibility, for someone in Ludicael to become pregnant without meaning to, and without wanting to keep her children. Even Ara remembered how different she had felt during her season of heat -- full of passion that was foreign to her, and though her feelings had strictly directed toward Novel, it wasn't hard to imagine that another female might be inclined to make a mistake and do something that she regretted. Perhaps such a thing might happen, and they had decided they would be more than willing to step up in such a situation; Ara couldn't imagine it happening any other way. Unless someone was willing to do it for them, though she couldn't imagine asking anyone for such a favor, let alone imagining that anyone might be selfless enough to do it for them. "Maybe we will be lucky, then," she commented softly, placing another kiss on the side of Novel's cheek.
She had never expected to love someone so fully, with no holding back... but somehow, Novel had stolen her heart and she couldn't imagine a life without her, and without their sons. "Where have Psalm and Hymn been hiding?" She would inquire softly, content to bask in her mate's presence and enjoy the silence that seemed happy to envelope them. "They must be enjoying their time away from us... they are growing up too fast."
