Redhawk Caldera vividly

Fox's answer did not make sense to Raven right away. Too late? she repeated in her head. Too late for what? She was concerned that her mother was desperately searching for someone to help raise and provide for the pups possibly growing within her already. Raven wanted Fox to know she wanted to be there for her. She wasn't the same as Peregrine or a mate in general, yet with her medical knowledge, hopefully she could serve as the caretaker the Alpha female needed so desperately.

It finally clicked. Fox might not be carrying the late Alpha male's offspring yet. Her hormones and instincts were driving her to procreate with someone, anyone, in order to spread her genes. Her behavior toward Kaizer made a lot more sense to Raven now. She thought of reasoning with her mother, suggesting that she avoid getting pregnant and the strain that would place on her body, heart and mind at an already stressful time, but even the yearling knew it would be futile to try arguing with nature... or Fox, who could be a force of nature.

"Well." For a moment, she wasn't sure what else to add. Then Raven said, "I just want you to know I'm here to support you. I mean, help you with the pregnancy and pups. If you want it." Her mouth clapped shut after that.
