Cubs.
Twins.
My heart stops.
Kaline squeals. "Congratulations, Blaze and Lightning. You're going to be parents. You'll have the cutest cubs in the realm. Oh, Blaze, I'm so happy for you."
I drench Lightning when I slobber all over her. I can't stop wanting to express how happy I am. I will be a father!
[It was worth the wait.]
She nuzzles me as she says these words.
I kiss her. [I'm so overwhelmed, and I cannot wait to see our cubs, I wish we had a...a way to see our cubs before they're born.]
I almost talked about an ultrasound, but I caught myself.
[Mmmm. What a perfectly wonderful idea.]
[I'd call it an "ultrasound".]
[OH! I think the orcs invented something like that. They are always coming up with novel things.]
[Orcs, huh? Good to know.]
Hans rubs Lightning's head. "Wonderful! Wonderful! We will make sure you have everything you could want and need as a mother-to-be."
System can't help weighing in.
