New life means new precautions (Quin)

OOC: :3 Surprise thread between pebs and snow! @quinzel

Pebblestar pops her head out of her den clearly glowing with life, her paws moved swiftly across the camp as her stomach dragged her to the freshkill pile. It was clear now that the leader was pregnant, her sides bulged out and her stomach hanged low. It only slowed her down slightly but her hungry had shot way up, quickly clutching a squirrel she didn't even bother to pick the fur off like always instead she chomped her off and mouthful and chewed quickly; thankfully, noone was awake to see her messy behavior. She had taken to bites by now and was scarfing down the squirrel like a kittypet whose two-legs forget to find her. It was long before she finished the squirrel- and by finished I mean picked to the bone- A deep purr rumbled in her throat and echoed through her body, she glanced at the camps entrance still feeling hungry -like a fat badger- it was best to hunt for herself instead of eating the clans freshkill, she sighed at the thought of running and chasing a mouse or two. -yup.. fat badger-

Snowsplash let out a yawn befitting for a cougar, excluding the audibility. His eyelids lazily hung halfway, refusing to budge. but the mute tom didn't ridicule this lack of sleep. It was natural for a cat to be nervous about the safety of his queen and his family writhing in her belly, right?

Precisely! Had to be. He saw other expecting fathers become total worrywarts, at least Snowsplash had the uncanny ability to maintain a level head. (Enough bragging internally!) He scolded himself with an amused flair, stepping out into the sunlight.

He still nervously twitched when Pebblestar caught his eye, and he vaguely wondered why he was still awkward abreast her precense. (Guess I'm just an awkward guy...I should be more bold...) He watched bemused as Pebblestar finished the remaining morsels of her prey rather ungracefully, and he would have giggled if he had a voice.

Impulsively, he padded over to her, making himself welcome, but immediately regretting the decision. (What if she wants to be left alone? Or I embarass her or...) He seated himself adjacent to her, unannounced, his face heated with abashment.

The swelled she-cat licked at her paw and began to groom herself, she stretch to the side trying to reach her fur on her back but instead she just looked like a flailing whale -maybe not a whale.. maybe a fat duck drowning.. yeah.- she grunted in frustration, something caught her eye and she looked up to see her mate Snowsplash. She blinked at him in a frozen state of shock -How long had he been there?- feeling self conscious she turned away from him and quickly licked at her whiskers getting all of the molecules of food from her muzzle. She breathed in and slowly turned to face her mate sitting up tall- or as tall as she could. Her stomach almost covered her hindpaws when she sat down but she still had a ways to go before she gave birth, clearly she would have more than four kit.

"Snowsplash.. I-I.. Goodmo-" Right in the middle of her greeting a bubble of air came up her throat and she did a rather quiet burp. Pebblestars ears twitched rapidly and her eyes got wide as the shade of green in them turned a brighter color. She just stared at him for a few moments not sure what to say, she felt like turning around and pretending he wasn't there like a frustrated kit.

OOC: Cx bahahah!
