She watched him carefully, observing his every reaction to her and what was going on. It was all she could do, but she wanted to see his most honest and true reaction. After all she didn’t want to force anything onto him, already she felt this was, in part, her fault for also falling prey just after they had such a discussion that he was uncertain, she felt selfish even hoping that maybe it was proof, but her parents were proof enough that children with two wolves did not instantly make a happy family. She could tell things between them still weren’t completely right, she didn’t expect it to be. Especially as he ducked his head and looked a little nervous as she stopped him from rushing her back from her den. She wished so badly that things could go back to how they were before, at the hunt where they were so focused on taking down the bear that they forgot their troubles with one another.

She still felt a little queasy, but she came out here for a reason and wasn’t about to let it stay inside if she didn’t have too. So when she saw his worry, she gave him a comforting as possible look to let him know that there wasn’t anything to worry about. She accepted this, she was okay with this even though it wasn’t the dream she still wasn’t mad. She sat before him and could tell he was nervous as he asked softly. The snow didn’t bother her so much as the nervous and confused look she was getting. Finally though he seemed to get it. She nods fervently at his question then finally watched as his paw slowly drifted to her stomach. She smiled as he gasped but didn’t pull away finally meeting her gaze with wonder and amazement and she beamed at him in return.

She was so glad, so glad this didn’t make him upset, scared or angry. He didn’t run away either or pull himself away from her her tail wagged slightly letting him enjoy the moment of feeling their children stir within her. It became so real the first time she felt it, she was sure it did for him too. Now she just hoped the realization didn’t come crashing down on him and scare him away. His expression changed a little as he spoke again, looking a little nervous once more.

She nodded enthusiastically at his words, before quickly touching a paw to him in response. She wanted to let him know he was a father, that this was part of him too, but then her happiness melted into something a little more serious again. She thought she knew the answer, his reaction to feeling them at first spoke bounds already for how he felt about this truly or at least she thought so.

”Only if you want.” She says to him slowly though offers a small smile nonetheless. She was pretty sure even if she didn’t want him around he would be persistent in his help of them regardless, but she did want his help, but she only wanted his help if he wanted to be a part of this, wanted to be their father. Otherwise really she thought it would be best she’d be left alone to deal with the consequences and let him do what he thought was best for himself. As magnanimous creature as he was though, she didn’t think she would be.
