Sunbeam Lair we will fake tsunamis together

Asterr does not take the kill right away and Ukko stares at it for a moment longer, wondering if there is something wrong with it. She’d had a smooth pregnancy thus far and hadn’t gotten sick as often as he’d seen some wolves but his limitations around pregnant females have been quite sporadic. Saena hadn’t been pregnant (to his knowledge) when he’d abandoned them and there hadn’t been any the last time he was home (just the thought of calling it home puts a bitter taste in his mouth). 

Ukko swallows the lump in his throat when she speaks and he lifts his dark gaze to search her face for signs of discomfort or pain or nausea. Nothing seems evident but she does mention how much they move that sets his heart into a flutter. 

“I think we will,” he tells her in a quiet tone and a swish of his tail.

It still baffles him how this can all be real for a random chance to come across the dark woman. He’d been lost within the mountains, unsure of where he was going, when she’d found him. A strange way to being their relationship but it has blossomed, to say the least. He learns more each day though he knows there is a lot and whether their mateship turns into something else is left to be unraveled but he wonders where she might want this to go, in the long run, when their family is just beginning.

“Can you feel them now?” he asks, looking down to her swollen belly and a hesitant step forward. In other words, can I feel them?

He settles his rump down on the ground nearby, urging her to rest too.
