Reek's face might not have been easy on the eyes, yet it was easy to read. Smash could tell that he didn't much like Luke, though she couldn't fathom how anyone could dislike the Bluenose. He was attractive, charming and inexorably upbeat. It occurred to her that maybe it was jealousy, though the she-wolf decided not to pursue that train of thought, nor any other. How Reek felt about Luke was really neither here nor there, and had no bearing at all on their friendship.

He seemed happy enough to pick up on the topic of parentage. At his question, a bemused, "Ahahaha..." escaped her and she just gave him this look. "Being a parent is hard," she replied, pausing for effect before continuing, "but also hella cool and, like, the most rewarding thing you will ever do." She loved Luke II so much, she wanted to eat that blueberry nose of his right off his face. And that didn't even make any kind of sense. "And you know that if I can do it, anybody can." Of course, she had lost three of her four cubs, yet Smash liked to think she had done everything right and it was just a matter of nature taking its course.

She decided not to mention the others, not wanting to bring Reek down so soon after recovering from the mention of Luke, so instead Smash wanted to know, "How far along is she? Pregnancy is a real pain in the dick, I'll tell you what..." She grinned a little, shaking her head at the memory. "But, again: worth it. You two got any names picked out? Gonna have yourself a Reek Jr...? A little Reek the Remix?"
