Blue had been more tired than normal lately, but she had assumed simply put that it was from taking care of both Junior and Finley around the clock. Junior more so than Finley. The youthful girl's infection was terrible and Blue was so proud of her. She had proven herself so emotionally strong, it was not many that could go through that kind of pain, and delerium and come out of it unscathed.
Anyway, as she drug herself from the den for the third time to go to the bathroom, her stomach quickly churned and she barely made it to the bushes before she lost her breakfast. As her head spun around her, and her eyes were unfocused she couldn't help a smile come forth on her maw, because right there was the proof that her dreams were finally coming true, and her selfish desires would be made.
taltos brought blue willow sustenance several times a day, but without a constant eye upon her — for she needed no such watching — he was unsure how much of it she herself consumed, as she tended both finley and osprey junior.
he feared she would weaken, such was her devotion to her healing cause, and when his murkwater eyes caught sight of her form rushing from her den, taltos followed, ears fallen back in worry. are you all right?
he inquired — it did not occur to the man that their intentions had been confirmed.
Blue's smile turned int o a low chuckle and she turned green eyed gaze to him. Yes I'm fine Lasher and you are going to be a father most definitely. She laughed again, couldn't even get upset that she was throwing up, so vast was her enjoyment at this moment. She could not think of any other reason for her throwing up, and as she put all the pieces together it completely clicked.
This was her first pregnancy so she imagined she was going to feel everything much sooner, and much more vividly than if it were her 2nd or 3rd. She bent forward and fought to keep the rest down as she buried her own sick. She did have to lay down though a few feet away, feeling weak and queasy as she was.
her laugh went unanswered as her words sent a dart of surprise thudding into his soul, quickly followed by a delighted fire. swiftly he lay down alongside her, threading his forelegs through her own and delivering a soft lick to one of her ears. ár bpáistí,
taltos murmured, quite overcome, as evidenced by the tears that suddenly shone brilliantly in his eyes.
She tilted her head softly What does that mean? She shifted and lay her head across their entwined legs, needing another moment to catch her breath after speaking. Goodness she needed some ginger. She'd make sure to get that as soon as she got her head wrapped around the truth and her tummy wasn't doing somersaults.
I'm so glad you're happy Lasher. I am too. She whispered the words so gently, afraid to move too much. It would all go away soon enough, long enough for her to walk back the few feet to the den and get some ginger.
it means 'our children,
he translated softly, eyeing her with mild worry as she lay rather weakly next to him. i am overjoyed, willow,
taltos purled. you are sick. what is it you need?
he could not claim that he recognized all of her herbs, but perhaps if she described its appearance and scent to her, taltos would be able to sort it from the others.
he nodded, and rose at once to fetch the herb. having sorted it from her stores, lasher carefully carried the root back to the willow, both appreciating and disliking the spiced taste of it upon his tongue. here,
he lilted, placing it before her. is there anything else i can bring that would settle your stomach?
he did not care for the idea that 'twas he who had brought the sickness to her, and taltos fervently hoped she would be through with it soon.
Blue shifted her weight to gain a more comfortable position. She chuckled lightly and gently nudged him. No all is well in my world at the moment and it will settle soon enough, already almost there. No need to frown in such worry, I will be okay."
all right,
lasher answered unto blue willow; he trusted her judgement, but what was to happen if she did not return unto her former self? seeking to distract her from the malady of conception, as well as himself, the man lowered his muzzle to touch softly her side. if you are very sick, and continue to be ill, could it mean that there are many children?
how little he knew of children, and childbirth.
Blue tilted her head at his question and sighed softly Not really it could only be one .Though I imagine we will have more than 1 we are both healthy."

there were many factors to all of this, and lasher was growing rather confused. however he smiled at her. i will escort you to your den,
came the softness of his voice, still laced somewhat with worry, though he trusted the woman and her judgement implicitly.
