Ankyra Sound holy water

Two. Yes, that sounded like a good number. Three, she imagined, would be manageable but still quite tiring when the children outnumbered the parents. But part of the beauty of Sapphique was that there were capable and loving childcare-givers everywhere. There wasn't a wolf in the pack that Chacal would not trust her children with, and that was the way she preferred for it to be. But even so...Four children had been so draining. It wasn't as though she'd have any influence on how many children she'd conceive in the future, but she did love fantasizing about her wishes. 

Meerkat seemed more reluctant to do so. Something held her back, and Chacal saw the way she wrestled with her thoughts for a moment. Why she would, Chacal wasn't sure. Surely she wouldn't allow Sobo's feelings to stop her from having another litter...But as a wolf who had not taken a partner, it did not occur to her instantly that one of Meerkat's fears was that Njord might disappear again. And when Meerkat finally began to participate, it brought her so much glee to gossip a bit that she spared not another thought about the woman's reluctance. 

"Girls, yes," She crooned. "I be 'appy to 'ave three sons,
but for daughters, I would like to 'ave more dan one," She admitted. She loved her sons no less for their gender- but Sapphique typically a matriarchal pack, led by women. She wanted to contribute more to that. 
"Deir names, too- I 'ad so many girl names to spare,
but only one little girl to take one dis year."
