An odd sense of warmth and contentment swelled in her chest at his statement, and she offered a thoughtful nod in response as she came to walk next to him. He inquired as to how she was feeling, and she shrugged a little. I am okay, she answered first, used to the being constantly tired and sick to her stomach by now. The roundness was not so easy to adjust to; not only did it make it harder for her to keep up her normal activity, but it also felt kind of weird to be so big. I am ready to meet my children, she offered instead of her growing list of pregnancy complaints. It was the truth after all; more than anything, she was ready to finally meet the life growing inside her. As her pregnancy progressed, she often thought about how many pups she would have and what they would look like. She had started thinking about names and wondering how many pups would be sons and how many would be daughters. A lot of the time, anxiety would find its way into her previously happy thoughts and cause her to worry about whether or not they would be healthy or if her labor would be difficult. She had no idea what to expect really, and so she supposed it was only natural to worry about these things. Knowing Mahler had done this before and would be there to help her should she need it calmed her anxiety some. She had put aside any pride she had regarding the state she would be in while in labor, and in its place was only gratitude that she would have the security of his knowledge and help. 

She turned a fond gaze on Mahler. And you? she asked. How are you doing? she added. Taki knew the pressures of leading could be heavy sometimes, and she would happily listen if he decided to speak of anything. Or if he just wanted company, she would gladly provide that as well.
