Though the two women were not nearly as close as Haven and Heath had always been in the time that Princess had known them, the Lady Chance was thrilled by the idea of being able to spend the early months of motherhood with the young collie woman. It would be so exciting to share the experience with them, and she knew that she would be able to get a great deal of pregnancy advice from Ruri, since she had already gone through the experience. Of course, there were other females in the pack who had done it, as well, such as Ayita and Alaine, but Princess simply was not close to either of them. She did not have many friends in the pack, though she was on good terms with most of them. Ruri, however, she considered a good friend, and she thought the same of Heath, as well.
"I know that," she said softly. The young woman knew that Haven only wanted what was best for her and their unborn children, and that was the sole reason that she did not argue his request that she stay within the pack lands as much as possible during her pregnancy. The same would go for once they were born, as well; Princess did not expect that she would be comfortable leaving them for any length of time, nor would she even consider taking them outside of the safety of the Miracles pack. Though she had only just realized their small existence inside her, the young woman already felt such a strong love for them. She had created them with Haven, the man she loved more than anyone in the world. They had created these puppies together, they would raise them together.
The Lady Chance smiled up at him at his tender touch. Her mate had a very good relationship with his adoptive mother and his sister, and Princess knew that they would always be happy for him with anything he did. Still, it came as a surprise to hear that they had already asked about this occasion. "They have? When?" she asked curiously. She wanted to know how long they had been thinking about this possibility, though she was certain it was far longer than she had been.
