Slow Down, Just Breathe
The close call with the bison still has Honeyflower shaken; her life had flashed before her very eyes but it wasn't that specifically which left her at times still shaking like a leaf. It had been the kits kicking around inside her that almost felt as if they had been trying to run away as well. They had nearly died along with her, precious lives snuffed out before they even had a chance to see the world.

....It's late and quiet in the nursery. Far later than an expecting mother should reasonably be up but she found her mind refused to quiet enough for her to so much as doze. She needed a distraction. Something. Anything. Sweetnose and Sassafrasschill were in the warrior's den- too far to walk to pester them into soothing her anxious thoughts.

Finally Honey shifts in her nest, gaze resting on the only other resident of the nursery. Owlbear. "...Owl... Owl are you awake..?"

The silence stretches on for what feels impossibly long as she waits for the other queen to lift her head, Owlbear would see wide eyes staring at her. Hesistant. ...Fearful.

"Did it hurt...?" She pauses, remembering the asthma attack from earlier. "Your kits, I mean. Does it hurt a lot..?"

Another question sits on her tongue but the molly swallows it back. No. No, she was just being dramatic. The nerves of a first time mother.

...What if something goes wrong? What if I die like Bumblebee..?

Ever since Finchkit had disappeared to see the bison and Owlbear had had that trouble, she'd been trying to rest but having trouble sleeping. She's afraid to fall asleep– what if…

Owl are you awake…?

Her head perks up, dark brown ears flicking in the direction of Honeyflower, who poses a question for her, her words hesitant, seemingly sticking in her throat like they don't want to leave. Owl's face softens, indeed her whole demeanor does as she looks at the younger molly.

"Oh, it hurts like hell," Owlbear replies. "I thought I was gon' pass out from the pain, but I had my Daz with me, and Glade was mighty helpful too– everyone was, in fact. Barely had time to be scared 'cause everyone was trippin' over their paws to help me out. Which was nice of them, mind, I think the whole den was full to the brim with everyone poking in to offer me stuff." She pauses for a moment, then, "it's worse in the beginnin', at least it was for me. It hurts and hurts and hurts and then suddenly, there they are…" she smiles to herself again, looking down at her kits who are fast asleep around her. "And then you forget all about how much it hurt."

She looks back up at Honeyflower, head tilting slightly. "Somethin's on your mind, ain't it, sweetheart? Now you don't gotta tell me if you don't want to, but I'll listen if you do, alright? I haven't been sleepin' all that well either, so I could use the conversation… I… I know it's silly, but I can't help thinkin'... what if I fall asleep… and forget how to breathe again?"
