Redhawk Caldera Good things about procrastination

Fortunately for Somnia, Peregrine did not stray far from his mate's side as the pair awaited the birth of their pups. When he heard footfalls outside their lair, he nudged his drowsy mate, rose and stepped outside to see the Gamma with a mouthful of dead animals. He gave her an appreciative look, then motioned for her to follow him. Peregrine led her a few dozen yards away. Fox could join them, of course, but if she wanted to stay inside where it was warm and continue her nap, he didn't want to disturb her.

"You come bearing gifts," Peregrine observed with a smile. "Thanks, Som."
