Heron Lake Plateau Like a bad penny

Racing my laptop battery, lol. 6%!!

She nodded at his comment that she'd had some practice. Thanks to a false pregnancy her body had decided to spring on her at the time (still one of the weirdest things she'd ever experienced in her life), she'd even been able to nurse them herself. She wasn't at all worried about what lay ahead of her. The only part she hadn't played in the whole circus of child-rearing was the birth part, but as a skilled midwife, she more or less knew the ropes there, too.

Though she was curious, she didn't ask after his comment on his failed chance at parenthood. Nobody liked reliving bad memories. To his comment about Finley being the kid factory of the family, though, she chuckled. He was right. "No kidding," she replied with an amused grin. "I'm starting to think I should consider changing the name of the pack from 'Redhawks' to 'Blackthorns', hah!" The former beta pair had had so many kids at this point that Raven lost count of them all. She loved it, though. Elwood and Finley, along with their various litters over the years, had brought a great deal of joy to the pack and several of their youngsters were now shaping up to be very promising young adults. If she were very lucky, she'd be half the amazing mom to her own kids as Finley was to hers.
