Princess had not seen that many negative aspects of Ruri's pregnancy, and while she was not all that knowledgable about the side effects of being pregnant, she was not worried about feeling as sick as she was. That was something she had expected, though it seemed to her that it was affecting her more than it should have been. She felt terribly ill again, but she was doing all that she could to hide this from her mate, knowing that he would be worried about her if she admitted how terribly she was feeling.
Though she was feeling sick, the Lady Chance was very excited to share the good news with their friends, and she was so looking forward to going to do it together. Similarly, though, she understood Haven's reasons for wanting her to stay in the Miracles pack lands. Once upon a time, she would have argued with him, offended that he would think that he could tell her what to do. In truth, she did feel a small bit of the old defiance, but it was not as strong as it once was for her. Princess had grown and matured quite a bit since meeting Haven so long ago in the human city. She had grown even further after coming to live with him in the Miracles pack, and she was so very excited about their future together, even if she was nervous.
"I guess that's probably a good idea," she consented. "I don't mind keeping close to home, and it would be good for them," she said softly, fingers resting on her still small tummy. Since the incident with the white loner, Minos, she had not been spending much time outside the pack lands as it was, and she did not want to do anything that could risk the unborn life inside her. It was such a strange thought to imagine there being living beings in there. "When will you go tell them? Do you think they'll be happy for us?" She couldn't imagine why they would not be, but it could not be helped that she would be seeking the reassurance of it.
