Dawnlark Plains can't get used to something so right

As she neared her due date certain things within her body were changing. One of the very noticeable and inescapable symptoms was her need to constantly relieve herself. It seemed like every time she had a chance to lay down she felt the need to gain the strength to lift herself back up just to use the restroom.

It was on her regular trips back to her den that she found Shale digging around in her den. She had been very proud of him the last couple days. So diligently had he stayed near her side, only visiting with Day a few times. She could see him his expression from time to time how he felt about the persistent birds flying down upon the body. But he remained strong and level-headed. Something she would need when she popped.

She slowly waddled into her den, laying down in the entrance between the main cavern and the one where she stored her herbs, as he didn't seem to be working in that area. "What are you up to?" she asked with a smile.
