Heron Lake Plateau Dude, you were hallucinating sheep on the road.

The scent trail led her to the lake shore. The moment her eyes clapped upon her older sister, Towhee hesitated. Raven was so pregnant, plus it looked like she was trying to relax. The Beta continued moving toward her, albeit slowly, deliberating whether to bring up the strange bulge at all. It didn't help that the thought sent a flush of heat creeping down the back of her neck now that she had actually approached the medic.

-Hey,- she signed, managing a tight-lipped smile as she haltingly took a seat beside Raven. There was a long, pregnant (pun intended) pause before Towhee decided to just out with it after all. -I don't mean to be a bother but could you look at something for me?- Even as she signed, she glanced around the immediate area, feeling her embarrassment deepen. Ideally, she would've liked to go somewhere more private for this particular examination, though she was already asking enough without requesting the expectant mother get up and move too.
