Gilded Bay When the bones are good, the rest don't matter

short little thread but wanted to get this up <3 we'll fade quickly yes if that's alright?

For a long while, Rosalyn both feared and hoped her heat would never come.  In equal measure.  She remembered the sureness with which she swore off another pregnancy, but the pain of the previous had vanished, leaving behind only the ache of growing old and no longer having the opportunity.  She'd tasted motherhood, and while the process had been horrendous, the results had been like nothing she ever experienced.

She could be content in her wife's, they were her own just as much.  But she could also silently mourn a body that had realized too late what such things meant.

Until it came.  When it did, it came quickly, late and without warning.  She could feel the stirrings, sensations that built into a strong and instinctual need.  Departing the territory, leaving @Erzulie to the capable watch of the pack, she called for @Rosencrantz.

If he was still willing, now was the time.
