Breathe For Me, Don't Wake Me From This Slumber

Horrible grammar in this thing. OMG. Word Count→374

As it came closer to the birth of her children, or their children if she stopped to think about the black-and-white man she had lived with since coming to Nova Scotia, she found herself unable to remain on her feet and useful for any long period of time. It had begun to be quite frustrating, oh so frustrating; Mars had been trying to help, but she knew he could only do so much for her. She didn't want him to do too much for her anyways. She was an adult. She was going to be a mother. She needed to manage on her own. A white-tipped hand rubbed at her face as she waited on the ground for him to return, having let him go off on whatever excursion he wanted to while Senorita and she took a break. As per the usual, she was exhausted. Whatever life forms had grown inside of her were sapping her energy entirely.

The sound of hooves caused the Latin mutt to look up, catching sight of her live-in lover as he came into the entrance of their cavernous makeshift home. He carried a rabbit that caused her stomach to grumble — she hadn't realized how hungry she was — and she offered a weary smile. "Hey. Welcome back." Her voice, not any quieter than it had been in the past, had lost its usual cheer. It seemed he had his own news, a home in Berwick for the both of them. He wanted her to look at it, and she gave him a gentle nod in return. The sight of the rabbit, closer to her as he held it out, caused the pregnant woman to reach for the meat.

She tore at it with careful jaws, giving him the once-over with pale pink eyes. "You ain't got anything for yourself?" she inquired, letting the lapin corpse fall to her lap. Hungry as she was, she wouldn't let the father of her soon-to-be-born children starve for her. With a grunt, she attempted to stand, getting to her feet with difficulty as she grabbed the rabbit with one hand. Swallowing the meat she had torn from the carcass, she held out the rest to the man with the hopes he'd take it back.
