Sequoia Coast DISCOVERY - The Cave of Glass

Part of Pied agreed with Kisu, though there was a sentimental part of her that would certainly miss some of the people and places at Horizon Ridge. She decided right then and there not to dwell on it, though. She would point her nose forward and look only to the future.

And, of course, she wanted to enjoy the present. When her mate began to move, she shook her head to clear it of thought and followed after him. He seemed rather awed by the cave and Pied found herself admiring it too, now that her attention span allowed for it. It was quiet and serene down here.

When she jumped onto the rock a heartbeat after him, Pied thought she felt a flutter in her abdomen. She blinked and arched around to nip at her flank. It was too early for quickening, she thought. Still, her lips twitched into a faint smile and she turned around to nudge Kisu.

"I think the puppies are excited by what's happening. I swear I just felt them move. It was just the tiniest little flutter..." She paused but it didn't happen again. "As long as I have you and them, I will always be at home," she said, amending her earlier statement as a contented smile spread over her pale features.
