There was a barely-contained giddiness in her step as she trotted toward the medicine den, paws light, tail high, and mischief practically sparkling in her eyes. Something had settled in her belly, not the queasy kind, but the fluttering, telltale sort she remembered. The kind that had whispered to her the last time, before her first litter came into the world mewling and beautiful. She wasn't showing yet, if she was pregnant at all, but her gut was never wrong. Not about this. She peeked her head inside the den, her voice sing-song and warm. " Jinglebingle~! " she called out, a grin playing on her lips. " Ahoy, sweet bells! "
The scent of herbs washed over her like a wave, grounding yet invigorating, as she stepped fully inside. Her purr rumbled low in her throat as her eyes scanned the den for the familiar face she hoped would be there, Jinglemoon, or perhaps Rainpaw, but preferably the former. There was something conspiratorial in her energy, a secret stitched tight into the curl of her whiskers. " I need yer... expertise on a matter most delicate. " she purred, lowering her voice, her tail swishing with electric excitement. " If ye've got time t'spare, that is. I've got a feelin', and ye know I'm a woman who listens to her gut. "
She paused, nose twitching, eyes darting to the den entrance to ensure there were no curious ears nearby. Then she leaned in, her voice dropping to a whisper, breath warm and tinged with anticipation. " I think I'm pregnant again, sweet bells. " Her ears gave a tiny flick as the words left her, like a spark igniting something unspoken. " But I need yer help t'know for sure. Just t'be certain. 'Cause if I am... oh, stars help me, I want t'know soon as I can. " She had things to prepare for, after all! See if Littlebrook was willing to share training Galepaw together with her... See how her kits would react and stars above, how the clan would react.
Her fur fluffed slightly in excitement, a purr trembling beneath her ribs. Whatever this next chapter held, she wanted Jinglemoon to be the second to know... Trusted, steady, and always there when she needed her most.
