Under the covers

"No... no grudge held for that," Osprey said and winked. Both of them were busy in their own way so, why take offences for things that neither of them could change? Blue willow was a good and devoted mom to her kids, the rest of the pack could get by. They were all grown up people, weren't they? Could take care of themselves without having someone herding them around...

...yet the next words she heard brushed every little bit of happiness about the meeting away. At the back of her mind Osprey had known that all was not right. That there was a possibility. But being put face to face with the truth turned out to be too hard to take in. And as Blue willow continued to speak, she had a feeling that all of a sudden her world was spinning too past.

"What..." she furrowed her brow, trying to understand, what had been the last thing her friend had said. "No... goddamnit..." she shook her head and sat down. "Bloody hell..." she sighed staring at her paws now, feeling utterly confused and shocked. "And you are not mistaken?" she peeked up at the healer with a faint glimmer of hope in her voice.
