Lost Creek Hollow no hard feelings

While the girl's initial response to the offer was one of immense glee, she couldn't help but temper this too with her guilt. She desperately wanted to go home and see her family — to talk to Okeanos again, cuddle with her mothers, maybe even see Lily and all the puppies she'd likely pooped out by now. But she had left them without consultation or warning, and she knew the return would be bittersweet. If only Okeanos could just be here with her; he would really enjoy all the mud puddles and pretty flowers!

We could? Ibis tweets back, sounding more surprised than she meant; she is still reeling a little bit at the idea when she blurts, I mean, I would love that — thank you Gannet. Would it be better to go... Before, or after, the babies are born? She frowns a little, not knowing much about the process that the mothers are going through. Would it be better to stay here until the kids are older (since they all needed to pitch in to help), or should they leave sooner ?
