bring on the wonder, we got it all wrong

One for daddy @Scimitar :)

They left @Kaskara to watch the children and headed for the mountain. Bazi was weak from feeding and limited movement, but with patience and a little help, they eventually made it to the rocky shelf where they had first conceived.

"I swear this used to be easier," the pale Alpha gasped, scrambling the last two feet and collapsing on her side, chest heaving - mostly for dramatic effect, but Bazi could not deny that she was out of shape. At least she no longer resembled bottom tier of a snowman. "Will you still love me if I waste away? You stayed when I ballooned.. this is your second trial." Apart from a slight pouch and hyper-inflated teats, Bazi's sides were once again flat. There were subtler changes to her physique, but as long as she was no longer grotesque, the new mother did not care.
