Blacktail Deer Plateau Just around the pond bend

As the echos died down, Pema looked down to see Easy looking up at her with a bright and happy expression. It made her feel warm inside knowing that she had made Easy's day while bringing her along to discover new things. She lowered her head to nuzzle Easy as she moved closer to her chest. Even though her words were faint Pema still heard what Easy mumbled and it caused a pain in her chest. Not a bad pain but a good one. She was so happy to hear it that it physically hurt. 

Even though Easy couldn't see it, Pema's face was filled with joy as she smiled the biggest smile. For a few moments she simply stayed there holding onto her. She had always thought of Easy and her siblings as her children, especially after thier mother came back just to say goodbye. She had spent so much time with them, and cared for them. Hearing Easy call her mom only reinforced Pema's feelings and showed that Easy felt the same. 

Then after awhile Pema spoke. "No problem sweetheart. Should we go back now? See if your father and siblings are back." she asked leaving it up to Easy.
