Day found himself concerned all over again when he heard the girl'd been around for the terrible storm. "Did you find shelter okay then?" he queried, paternal protectiveness taking over his tongue for a moment, nevermind the fact that the storm had been over months before.

She's been a bit touchy lately," he explained, affection and mirth dancing in equal measures in his gaze. "We're about to have our first litter together, and I think we're just anxious to see them out of her."
