It was not as if the young woman hated the members of the Miracles pack of misfits, nor did she think herself to be above them. Princess had simply never had many friends at all, and she was not entirely certain as to how she was meant to make them, either. Her life up until coming to be with Haven had been lacking in close bonds, but it had never bothered her. Friends had simply never been all that important to her. Survival had been important, as had doing things for herself, but she had never much cared for becoming close to those around her. Her own interests had been more valid, in her mind. Though, she supposed that she really should work on making more friends in the pack. She and Haven were not leaving any time soon, if ever. This was her forever home, as it had been for almost a year.
She knew that Haven was serious in what he said, even if the tone was in jest. Haven had always done anything for her that she needed him to, and more. Princess loved her pumpkin Knight with all of her heart, and she was so glad to have found him. If there was anyone in the world that she wanted to experience parenthood with, something she had always planned on never doing, it was the noble man beside her now. She did not think she could love anyone nearly as much as she loved him, though she knew that would likely change once their puppies arrived. She already loved them so dearly, even if they did not seem entirely real yet. Perhaps that feeling would change once she began to show. She hoped so, because she knew that it would only magnify her love for them once they became entirely real to her. She wondered if Haven might have the same problem she did now.
Though they were surely much older now, Princess still had yet to meet Haven's brothers, though of course she knew bits and pieces about them that he had told her. "How are your b-brothers?" she asked, her stomach lurching. Her free hand clutched the rim of the bucket beside her, but she refused to be sick now. She simply refused to.
