Redhawk Caldera I don't want easy, I want crazy

Kim, I restored your post, since it made sense anyway. Sorry for the delay, by the way; I totally didn't realize it was my turn! :P

Fox finally found her voice after the pair stammered out a few details. Peregrine's gaze dropped to the Beta female's flank. He guessed it would be no more than a month at most. He then lifted his eyes, studying their faces. They looked so rueful. Their eyes were lowered, their voices shaky. Although he agreed that the timing might not be ideal, Peregrine began to shake his head softly. He didn't know the first thing about their miscarriage, obviously, but he knew they should be celebrating this promise of new life.

"This pack will be able to handle it," the Kappa said, hoping Fox didn't box him about the ears for speaking out of turn and out of place. "We're small but mighty. Yeah, we'll all have to work harder but this means an even bright future for the Redhawks." His tail twitched and he fell quiet. It would still take time for Fox and the rest of the pack to absorb the news, though in time, it would be purely good tidings.

"The Firebirds will have cousins," he added for his mate's benefit, his voice quietly optimistic as he nudged her cheek.
