Juan was the first one up the next morning. Since no one else was awake, he entertained himself by wandering around the little infirmary, hopping up onto patients bed quietly, and watching them curiously.

Laney also woke fairly early. She knew where she was but she was a little confused at what exactly had woken her that is until she felt a gentle kick in her abdomen. She put her paw on the place and smiled. Then she looked over at Catori sleeping next to her. She sighed and kissed his cheek deciding it would be best to let him sleep a little longer.
Elthia was awake not long after the other two. She wanted to make sure she had everything packed for the trip to Camp Willow and she wanted to make the rounds of the infirmary also. She dressed quickly and then quietly entered the main infirmary room where she found Juan up and playing.

"Good morning, Juan." Elthia whispered and picked him up. "You know some beasts don't like to be watched while their sleeping. But you can come with me on my rounds." She lifted him onto her shoulders so she could have her paws free to check charts and make notes. When she poked her head into Laney's room she saw that the pregnant otter was already awake. "How are you two doing this fine morning?"
Laney smiled rubbing her stomach.

Juan hopped onto Laney's bed skillfully and hugged her. Morningses. How yous bes? Catori yawned and stretched as his eyes opened. The soft murmuring of voices had lured him out of the depths of sleep and had woken him. He scratched his ear for a few seconds before looking around him curiously to figure out what was going on.

Laney hugged the little otter back and smiled sadly at him. "You asked me a question last night, and I didn't really answer it. I don't think I can be your mommy right now, Juan. Even though I'd like to I think one kitt is going to be enough for Catori and I to handle. I'm sorry little one."
Elthia stood back and watched waiting for Juan himself to tell her the news.

Juan wagged his tail and nuzzled her cheek. It bes okays. Mes understands. 'Sides, 'Thia and Skippy adopteds mes. Mes thinks you'ds bes a good mommy. Catori smiled fondly down at the little otter and ruffled his ears. I'm happy for you, Buddy. I'm glad you have a family. Skip and Elthia will take great care of you.

Laney looked up at Elthia and smiled happily she had been a bit worried that the little kitt wouldn't have anyone if she and Catori didn't agree to take him. Then she thought of something and her look turned to a questioning one, "I didn't know you and the Skipper were . . ."
Elthia blushed, "He only asked me yesterday. I guess we're moving pretty fast to have a dibbun already."

"Thank you," Elthia nodded to Catori. She wondered why Ronan wasn't up and around yet this morning. "He and Juan are going to go with me to get Laney's medicine from Camp Willow. We'll be leaving in just a little while and then we'll be back in a couple of days. Lois, the badgermum, promised to come up and look in on you two."
"That's right," Laney told Juan vaguely listening to the conversation between the healer and her husband. She took the little otter's paw and placed it on her stomach just in time to feel a kick from the unborn kitt.

Ronan snuck inside the room silently and stood watching the others and listening to their conversations for a moment. The tiny otter squeaked excitedly when he felt the kick and looked up at Laney curiously. Hows comes your tummy's movings? Is it the likkle otter doings thats?

"That's right, Juan. A new little kitt is swimming around in there and sometimes we can feel him move," Laney smiled around at everyone and noticed Ronan. "So, we hear you're a daddy now, Skip."

Elthia chuckled at Juan's question and went to stand by Ronan putting an arm around him. "That's a good question, Dad. Care to answer that one for your son?" She turned her head and winked at Laney.
Laney looked embarrassed at having brought up the subject.

Ronan laughed and ruffled the little otter's ears fondly as he picked him up gently. Well the first one I can answer because Elthia told me once when I asked it myself. They swim around so that they can stretch out and get excersize. I'll wait to answer the second question until you're a bit older, though. Juan nodded his head. Oskays.
