Thistle reminded her that she had three pups her first litter, and Julooke grinned sheepishly. Sorry, my brain is just... overwhelmed, I guess, she said. Sure, she and Verrine had talked about having puppies and tried to get pregnant, but realizing that she was actually pregnant was just... awe-inspiring for her.

As far as she knew, Thistle's birth had gone well, but Julooke was afraid something would go wrong and she or Verrine wouldn't know what to do. If Thistle was nearby, though, it would put her mind more at ease.
