It probably had happened before, but Osprey felt them move for the first time on the seventh week. The days had been quite warm lately, the sun appeared now and then, and she enjoyed sleeping and simply being lazy more than ever. The fear and confusion of the previous weeks had loosened their grip on her heart a bit, she was not entirely happy, nor her back to her old-self, but she had finally come to terms with what was going to happen and that no matter, how she felt or how much she did not want this, it would take place regardless.
She had also found that it was easier to go around and prepare for their arrival, to think ahead rather than wallow in guilt and regrets for things in the past that could not be changed anymore. Therefore, once the fever and headaches had become tolerable and her joints didn't ache that much anymore, she spent her days, either digging her sand-pit by the uprooted tree she resided by or fetching and bringing various useful stuff to the area she had chosen for whelping. Her progress was very slow and she had to lie down and rest frequently, but after that she kept working and planning.
It was light, tickling feeling in her belly that woke her in the middle of the night and made her lift her head and glance over at the source of it. Unlike the pain she had felt before, this was actually pleasant, made her curious and then... excited as she realized that somehow the kids she hadn't been able to imagine over the past few weeks, had become very much alive and real. However, all beautiful moments get ruined one way or another. For Osprey it was the pressing need to relieve the bladder. Therefore she got up and left her sleeping spot to seek out a place away from there.
And after she was done, she stretched and yawned, feeling that the sleep would not come back any time soon. One glance at the starry sky above, gave her an idea. Slowly she hobbled towards the edge of the plateau, where the flatlands lied and where she would have the marvelous sight of stars all for herself.
ooc: @Niria . Set late at night, clear, starry skies. Osprey is near the borders.
