The small silvery she wolf found herself laying in the grass as she usually did, the gentle spring sun shining down on her features as she lounged in the Prarie. She was beneath her preferred tree, where she could be found most days. It was a beautiful place to sit and think, with the gentle sound of the breeze through the trees leaves and the soft sounds of birds chirping in the breeze. Even Freewing found himself caught up in the throws of spring. He'd found a little lady cardinal to woo, and she was almost sure there was a nest with eggs up in her tree. It made her smile knowing her little friend was going to be a daddy. It also reminded her of her own predicament. Voltage and she had been trying not trying again themselves, and as the days steadily grew longer she'd realize that they'd accomplished what they'd set out to do. Despite it not being her season Gaia had become pregnant. Or at least it felt like it, she was getting nauseous at different intervals in the day, she was feeling a bit more tired as well. Just the general... feeling had come back. Gaia was incredibly in tune with her body, these small changes were incredibly obvious to her, but she knew Voltage would not recognize them. She wanted to be absolutely sure before she said anything to him, but now that she was... When they reunited for snuggles tonight she'd tell him. Make sure he didn't sleep during the night, she knew he'd be excited. Gaia would smile contentedly to herself, finding herself incredibly excited as she lay 'neath her tree peacefully. ""

Voltage was humming his gentle lullaby he pulled from a memory of years passed, his eyes shining brightly as he trotted towards his little love. He was oddly happy, surprisingly bouncy. It was like the passed year hadn't happened, but it had. There was still a darkness to his bright eyes that anyone who knew him could tell. There was still that twitch of a frown, that lost look that was so alike a child searching for something. But today...today he was happy. His mother's lullaby was light on his tongue, and it had become more frequent. It was as if he subconciously knew, even if he had no idea what grew in his beautiful wife-to-be. He ceased his song as he stepped closer to her, stormy eyes drinking in the way the wind played with her gentle fur, the way she glowed beneath the warm sun. The soft twitter of birds added to her serenity, a soundtrack to her grace. He felt his breath pull from him, his eyes soften before he smiled so warmly. Everything was perfect. Quickly he stepped towards her, tilting his head slightly. "You look so comfy, little cloud." He said in his soft voice, shifting to lay down beside her, envelope her in his warmth. They laid like this so often, and he cherished every moment. "How has your day been?" He asked softly, pressing a gentle kiss beneath her ear, right beside the little feathers he had tied into her fur. "Burn Baby Burn"

She would hear Volt coming from quite a ways off, the sound of his lullaby had been much more frequent as of late. Come to think of it.. it seemed he'd really gotten back into the habit the day after they'd decided to start trying for more children. She'd find herself grinning at the thought, and that expression wouldn't leave her as he approached more quietly. She would mold into his form as he came to sit close beside her, she'd bury her features into his fur and breathe in his essence. She'd feel a calm serenity wash over her as her world's pieces fell back into place. "I am, there's a reason this is my favorite place." she'd tease him as she placed little nips and kisses up his neck. "Uneventful mostly," It wasn't a lie, nothing spectacular had happened to her today so to speak. "I do have some news for you though." She'd snuggle closer to him. "I'm.." She'd build suspense, make him think she was going to say 'pregnant' afterwards. "P" she'd put emphasis on her 'p.' "Pretty sure Freewing has a family on the way." She'd say with a giggle in her voice. "His lady friend built a nest up there." Her clouded eyes would look up into the branches to emphasize her point as she hoped Voltage wouldn't be too mad at her for messing with him. ""

Voltage would hold her close yet again, feeling absolutely content holding her in his arms. This was perfect, this was exactly what he wanted. Slowly he let out a breath, feeling himself relax from any stress he might have felt previously. The life of an alpha, and a big brother, was stressful reguardless. He took to it like a bee to honey, but he still felt, and felt it quite easily. But here, with her, he almost seemed to melt, ever knot untieing, every stress forgotten. A soft chuckle bubbled from his lips as she pressed kisses and nips along his neck and he hummed pleasently, nuzzling her softly. "I don't know how you do it." He said with a soft laugh, smiling softly. "I'd go absolutely mad." Even if his job was stressful he loved it, and it kept him moving at all times, something that was fantastic for Voltage. He lifted his head to look at her properly when she announced she had news, and he would tilt his skull slightly to the side. Oh? He grew instantly hopefully, his eyes widening just slightly and his heart picking up a beat. "Yes?" He asked softly, trying to get the news faster. She drew it out, and he felt like his racing heart could practically expload before...oh. "Oh." He said softly, his voice soft and confused as he squinted his eyes and looked up at the nest she spoke of. "Well, that's wonderful for Freewing." He said with a gentle laugh, although it was kind of distant. He had been so...excited. Slowly he laid his muzzle to rest against her shoulder, a soft chuckle rumbling through him. "I'll have to get him an egg-hatching present. Think he'd like a rock?" He rumbled with a soft laugh, pulling her closer and sighing softly into her warmth. Well, Freewing must be excited... "Burn Baby Burn"

She would feel him relax against her, deep down she knew how much she relaxed him, it seemed every time he sat next to her the tension in his body melted away. It made her feel good that she was able to be such a relief for him, especially with everything that was on his mind. While she didn't have nearly as much to worry about she would feel the same for him, she didn't know how he did it. At one point she had been crown princess, she was going to rule her family and she'd been trained to do that. At the time she'd thought herself ready but now she was sure she never wanted to be responsible for a whole pack. She'd feel his excitement build up, and as she finished she knew her trick had been cruel. Volt was just as in need of the news as she was, maybe even more so. Still, he sounded happy for her little companion and she'd continue to play along for the time being. "I don't think he'd know what to do with a rock." She'd giggle. Freewing seemed a much simpler creature than she and other wolves. He'd never talked with any kind of real words, and his actions were based more heavily on his instincts. "He's not the only one who's going to be a father though." She'd tell him, nuzzling closer as she finally let him have the news. "I'm pregnant again Voltage." The bliss was obvious in her voice, the pure joy she felt for their efforts. They were going to be parents again. ""

Voltage would lift his eyes back up to the nest in the tree, humming softly as Gaia questioned the rock. "Could help decorate his nest. I do find some pretty rocks." He said with a gentle laugh, nuzzling into her fur gently as he let out a breath and rested against her. Today would be a great day for a nap. Weddings were hard to plan, and he hadn't been getting much sleep lately. But then again, he normally didn't get much sleep. His sporadic insomnia kept him awake most nights, and he only ever got a few hours of solid sleep. But knowing everyone was safe, and cuddling close to his fiance, he felt he could get a few more good hours. But then she continued, with more news. This time, his head shot up and he stared at her. "Wait.." He whispered softly, not expecting her too at all. And then the last tidbit, the final news that had his heart leaping and his eyes growing wider. "You are? Really?" He asked almost too loudly, feeling his paws fidget as his energy spiked. He wanted to run, to dance, to spin and hold her close. He wanted to celebrate. "Really? Do you know how many? How far along? When will I see them? How do you know??" He asked in a rush, his face feeling like it would split with how much he was smiling. He shifted then so he could press his nose to her belly, expecting to hear or feel something before just nuzzling his face into her soft belly fur. "Oh Gaia..." He practically sobbed, laughing and holding her close. They were going to be parents! Again! And this time they would do it right, and when Illie and Current came home, they would teach their little siblings everything they learned out there wherever they were. "I can't believe it.." He breathed, his voice like liquid excitement as he pressed gentle kisses into her belly and ribs. She was perfect, this was perfect, life was feeling good again. "Burn Baby Burn"

She couldn't confirm what he said, she'd never seen any of his rocks. Gaia would take his word for it though, maybe the bird would appreciate some aesthetics. She'd let him snuggle against her before she let her own news slip, not feeling so bad as he was allowed her secret. He had been pretty comfortable, but even as the first words slipped from her lips his head was up and he was looking towards her. He was quite loud, she'd shrink back slightly at the enthusiasm before returning it whole heartedly. He'd act like she'd tried to trick him again, he'd question her twice and both times she would nod in confirmation. Yes. They were having another litter. "I've been feeling kind of woozy the last few days, I didn't want to say anything to you until I was absolutely sure. As for everything else, they should be here at the very end of spring, but it's too early for me to know how many." She couldn't help but be amused by his excitement. She was always much more calm about her emotions, and she'd had a few days to let it really sink in. He was at her belly then, acting like he might be able to feel something already. It was much too soon, maybe when she actually started showing, but right now all he was going to get was her stomach gurgling. He still didn't believe her as he peppered her belly in lovely little kisses, that tickled! The she wolf would shift uncomfortably, not that she didn't love his kisses of course. "Believe it, my love. We'll be parents again soon." Her voice was a relieved whisper, finally the hole sin her heart might start to heal. ""
