Golden Glade Coincidence?

Aspen could see the dissapointment in Heartha's face.  She began to speak saying that surely Aspen should be excited that she could be having puppies though she would understand why she might be upset. Aspen spoke up for a minute "No no....I'm not neccesarily upset about this Heartha. I do want puppies. It was something I had always dreamed of. I just....I'm just surprised and I guess I'm in sort of denial mode right now," she stated and let Heartha continue. Heartha went on to talk about telling Charley.  

Aspen nodded quickly. "Of course I'm going to tell Charley! I need to find the right time but I'm sure he will be happy but probably as surprised as I am. I promise, if this is true. I will be more excited when they are actually here than I am right now. It's just....surreal I guess," Aspen stated a rather neutral calm gaze returning to her maw. The thoughts were not so daunting right now and perhaps she would start to accept the potential reality soon but right now she just needed to think.

Aspen nodded when Heartha spoke once more stating that that was why she was here and that she was going to help Aspen every step of the way. The fact that this wolf had sworn to that Aspen knew she had done the right thing accepting the fae into their rankings.  "Thank you.....I just, I don't want to end up like my parents. I mean I wouldn't let that happen but I still worry I would mess up somehow...It's nice to know that I'm not going to be alone through this, that should I need something the help will be there. I truly do appreciate that Heartha," Aspen said with a warm smile and she dipped her head slightly in thanks as Heartha gave the silver fae a reassuring nudge. Aspen took a deep breathe and she felt herself relax. Perhaps a change of topic was needed. 

"So what's been new with you it's been a while since I've talked to most of you guys since I been...well sick," she mused.
