Waawaashkeshi bit back sobs as she hid away within the glade. Nasamiituuq was upset with her to the extent that she had insulted her pride, and yet Keshi could not bring herself to be angry. She did not feel that she had been listened to, that her friend had misunderstood her. Maybe she had misunderstood Nasamiituuq, too.
But truth of the matter was that whether her and Nasamiituuq made up or not, there was more to worry about now. Children were on the way. Under different circumstances, maybe she would have been excited. Maybe they both would have been excited.
Her symptoms were more obvious now, the baby bump beginning to show. With the thinning of her belly fur she was sure that soon enough teats would begin to swell too, and then she would reek of breast milk. There would be no hiding her pregnancy then. There would be no hiding her lingering shame.
As the thought crossed her mind, she then buried her eyes against her paws. There was no fighting her tears now.
