Firestone Hot Springs You're saying the words that I want you to say

Speedy was not prepared for the stranger's anger or biting judgement. But mostly she was not prepared for how deeply her words would resonate within her. She was right. What if she did have complications during birth? Any apprentice she had tried to take under her wing had disappeared, let her down in the end, and so she had just taken on the full responsibility herself. And if something happened to her during childbirth, what then? If she wasn't in a condition to coach someone through what to do, what would happen? Their sister pack was too far away to be able to help in such a time sensitive situation. So what backup plan did she have? The answer was no backup plan. She had been so concerned with getting everything prepared for her absence that she hadn't considered what might happen if she were unable to deal with any problems during her own birth. 

And then, You will be a terrible mother. The words were salt in an already open wound. The twins were so angry with her that they weren't even speaking to her, Acheron had left, and now she had all of these possible complications she hadn't considered before. There was no going to be—she was a terrible mother. She suddenly felt sorry for her unborn children. She was already incredibly sensitive, but the hormones made it almost impossible for her not to cry at the drop of a hat. Her eyes widened in horror, and then tears welled in the golden depths before falling down her cheeks. She backed up and her rear paw landed on a rock, causing her to lose her balance some and fall back on her haunches and she just stayed there, unable to pull herself up. She wished the earth would open up and swallow her.
