Whitebark Stream prepare the platter

yeah, bhediya replied; he was dead enough. she heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that the offer still stood, but found her breath hitched again soon thereafter. dawn did not know that she was pregnant. it didn't seem like an important detail because before, they hadn't been officiating a merger. at their last meeting, bhe wasn't even sure that she was pregnant but there was no denying it anymore.

how would she go about bringing this up? she didn't have the best reputation as a parent, and knew for a fact that dawn still held that over her head. still, it was important that she tell the truth. before you agree, she said, biting at the inside of her cheek, i have to be honest. i'm going to whelp this season, and probably sometime soon. she doubted that the wait would last beyond early spring.
