Stone Circle Round and Round

<3 haha well the possibilities of that happening grow by every child she has, so... don't stop. haha

Clary tried to follow, she really did, but the deeper her mother plunged into the explanation of her pregnancy, this stuff about smelling funny and all of a sudden having tiny wolves growing inside of you... it really made no sense. Enough to make it hard for her mother's mateship to Stark to really settle in. If it had, she would have been bouncing off the walls with excitement, but as it stood, she was just trying to wrap her mind around, well. Everything else.

The young girl shook her head but kept listening, despite the barricade of questions building castles in her mind. Thankfully she'd learned how to keep quiet and wait her turn by hanging out with Aunt Nanook (granted, she sometimes didn't talk at all), but she couldn't help the strained laugh that pushed from her lips at her mother's admittance to all this being an information bomb, nor the quivered agreement of, "Yeah, a little."

Though going to Steph for understanding would have probably provided her with explanations she could grasp, Clary shook her head. "No! No, you're okay." She tried to remind herself the pain her skull was still only from the waterfowl, and not from the headache of information she was trying to grasp. If Steph could understand enough for mother to trust her with explaining this to her, then surely she could get it, too. "So - okay - so what you're saying is, there are wolves, and they're growing inside you, and they're in your stomach. Did you like - wait..." her face screwed up as the pieces clicked, and what she considered made her eyes grow wide. She gasped,  "Are the babies growing in you like trees? Are there, like - no, are there like, tiny seeds that plant them there?" Oh gosh. The assurance about this not happening until she was two flew right to the deepest recess of her mind; all she could think of now was what she could do to avoid this from happening. "Did Stark give them to you?? I'm not gonna get pregerganant just by breathing, am I???"
