Whitefish River Like a bolt out of the blue

@Reiko
due date eminent

Her breathing was heavy as she closed in on the location she had tracked her friend's scent to. Their sister pack, the one the large woman led. Ira, yes, that was her name. Oh this was a bad idea, this pregnancy had taken a toll on her already. Sweat broke out along her brow as she pushed forward, the herbs she had transported were probably unhappy with how she was carrying them but she could care less right now.

Oh, hell. Pain was lancing through her legs, she needed to stop moving soon. Why hadn't she asked her husband to accompany her on this journey, he was worried. Not just about her body and how badly it hat treated her from this child rearing but of their shared friend, the woman they both loved. She knew he loved the snow queen too, there was no hiding it if only she loved them back. Takashi would be a memory and the three of them could be happy again.

Exhaustion was weighing on her as she closed in on the den that held Reiko's scent amd the new smell and sounds of newborn puppies. So she had gotten away to have her children, she could have bunked with her, her best friend, she would have tried to protect her, their samurai would have protected them. A sound of pain escaped her lips as she dropped the bundle of herbs, her children were not happy with her right now but she managed one word before she closed her eyes and focused on calming her breathing.

"Rei.."
