Njord was happy to see Meerkat gobble up the meal he had brought. This pregnancy was so different from her last. Njord wondered if it was truly the mountain air and altitude that had affected her so badly. Whatever the reason, the man was glad she thrived in their lowland home.

“You’re verrae beautiful when ye eat like that,” he teased lovingly just before Meerkat wiped the smear of rabbit from her maw. She missed a spot, though, and so Njord followed up with a quick swipe of his tongue to snag a morsel off her face for himself.

“Och, they’ll be braw lads an’ lassies,” Njord quipped as he scooted closer to Meerkat and laid in a ying-yang position. “Ah’m so happy to be a Da again,” he added as he watched their tiny feet move under her sides. “It willnae be long now, hmm?” he remarked thoughtfully. “Would ye like me tae send for Sialuk when it is time tae deliver?” This was Meerkat’s third rodeo, but he still worried for her health.
