Lol, I hope the Pied/Kisu threads turns around, else I'm about to screw with so many timelines. :P

Although she'd sort of hoped to accompany him on the search for Hawkeye, Pied obediently stayed behind, making herself comfortable as she waited just beyond the borders. She wondered if anybody else would spot her and come down to say hi, yet the solitary silence stretched onward with only the rustling of the wind and the occasional chirp of a brave robin to keep her company.

Eventually, the sound of footfalls racing in her direction caused Pied to leap back to her feet, favoring her healing hind paw. Her bright eyes lifted, watching as two dark silhouettes broke free from the tree line and began to gallop down the towpath. They approached swiftly and the piebald she-wolf wondered if Peregrine and Hawkeye were engaged in a race of some sort—a suspicion Peregrine confirmed with his shout.

After posing next to Hawkeye—the two did make a good-looking Alpha pair—the swarthy male retreated to the side, lolling on the ground as he allowed the she-wolves to talk. Throwing him a quick, grateful glance, Pied then flung herself at Hawkeye, licking and nuzzling the woman she'd come to think of as a sister. Right then and there, she decided she might even stop including the word adopted to describe Hawkeye's relationship to her; theirs was a bond as strong as blood.

"Yes! Well, I'm hoping," she replied brightly. It was too early to tell for sure, yet there wasn't a doubt in the Gamma's mind, obviously. "Look at you!" she added, tail wagging so fast it was a blur. After meeting Hawkeye's gaze for a moment, she gently pressed her nose to the Alpha female's slightly rounded flank. "You have yourself a beautiful baby bump," she exclaimed happily.
