Swiftcurrent Creek Do you believe in life after love?

though it irked her, she'd more or less resigned to being useless a day or two prior. she'd come to terms with the fact that under no condition would she be able to do much for Swiftcurrent in her current state. had she knows the effects of her exertion on her unborn young, perhaps that realization would have come sooner - they were a responsibility that was hers to bear, but she remained oblivious. 

and so when she heard her sister's call, a stupid grin alighted itself on her muzzle and the woman lurched to her feet. swaying a moment, bidding the cramps to pass, she gave her pelt a stiff shake and made her way to the border. the call, for a moment, touched the packlands with something familiar, a welcome change. the people here seemed secular, quiet - but there was easy, and grin remained etched on the woman's face as she drew near, stopping awkwardly and planting a kiss in her sister's cheek. "easy!" she said as she withdrew, surveying the girl - woman, now - and seeing clearly her father in her. "I've missed you." she reaches forward to try and pull the girl into a semi-awkward embrace, entirely overjoyed.
