Several seconds ticked past before Eljay seemed to cotton onto what she was trying to show him. Wildfire grinned at his exclamatory, "Wow!" and then sidestepped again to take a seat facing him. "This is it," she said a little breathlessly, "it's officially official. We're going to have babies!"

This proclamation was followed instantly by a moment of sheer surreality (that's not a word? It is now). Wildfire flew back in time to her previous pregnancies, revisiting all the various emotions they'd entailed before snapping back to the present in the space of a blink. In the wake of this flashback, she felt extremely overwhelmed.

Apropos of nothing, Wildfire began to cry, though she smiled through her tears. "We're gonna have babies," she repeated in a low-pitched, marveling voice. Why did she have to have so many feelings, all at once? They seemed to amalgamate in her core, prompting her to declare, "I want to make this official too," and frantically wrung her paw back and forth between the two of them.
