Elthia gave the big otter a squeeze and the little one a kiss on the cheek. Then she grinned at Laney and Catori, "I think I'll keep 'em."
"You're very lucky," Laney smiled back at her and then looked up at Catori, "almost as lucky as me."
"So, should we get going?" Elthia asked Ronan.

Catori smiled at his wife lovingly and kissed her cheek happily. Ronan looked out the window and nodded. Aye, now's as good a time as any to start out unless you'd rather get something to eat first.

"Well we need to go down to the kitchens and get some kind of ration packs so we can just grab some breakfast while we're there," Elthia said to Ronan. "Are you all ready, Juan?" she asked the little one in Ronan's arms. Then she turned to Laney and Catori as an afterthought. "Make sure you get something to eat also," she said in her most stern infirmary keeper voice. She smiled, "Take care. My assistants will be here if you need anything and Lois will be in to check on you. We'll be back as soon as we can." She felt a little guilty leaving them but she knew it was for Laney that she was going in the first place.

Juan nodded in answer to the question and clapped his paws excitedly. Ronan laughed and ruffled the little otter's ears fondly. Right. No sense traveling on empty stomachs. Catori nodded understandingly at Elthia's words. Do't worry. We'll eat properly. I hope you two have a safe trip.

((that was patriotic )) "Oh I'm sure we'll be fine. I've got these nice fine big male otters to protect me, after all." She winked at Laney. Laney smiled. "And I promise to be good and stay in bed and eat all my vegetables." "Eat some fish and shrimp too. You need the protein. And don't worry too much about the cramping, it's just your stomach stretching. And try not to worry about contractions unless they start to come at regular intervals. If that happens or if you start bleeding, send someone to get me right away. And . . ." Elthia tried to think of everything that could possibly happen while they were gone and still not leave the couple terrified. She sighed, "We'll be back as soon as we can."

Ronan blushed lightly and grinned cutely. Catori nodded understandingly again. We will. I'll come get you if no one else can. Have a safe journey you guys. Hurry back but try not to miss us too much. This caused all three otters to laugh. [OOC: LOL! I didn't even catch that.]

Elthia grinned and rolled her eyes at her own worries. They would be fine of course. She wished for a moment that she and Ronan could take this trip alone on different circumstances and she looked at him lovingly for a moment before she blinked it away and got back to business. "Alright, let's get going then."

Ronan nodded and hitched his rucksack higher on his shoulder. You two take care of yerselves now. We should be back in a couple days or so. He adjusted Juan in his arms slightly and headed out of the room and downstairs toward the kitchen.

Elthia waved once more at Laney and Catori and exited their room closing the door behind her. Then she quickly ran to her own room and grabbed the bag she had packed for the journey. It was a bit heavy but then Elthia was a healer and insisted on being prepared for any little injuries that may occur along the way. Then she hurried to catch up with Ronan and Juan in the kitchens.

Ronan smiled as the excitable little kitt jumped out of his arms and ran over to her to hug her legs. Juan smiled up at Elthia as his tail wagged excitedly. Hi hi, Mommy. He hugged her legs cutely and nuzzled them happily.

((time has passed as much here as it has in the family vacation thread))
Laney watched out the widow as a few dibbuns played in what was left of the snow that had fallen the day before. She smiled at them. Secretly she wished she could be down there with them. She'd never been particularly fond of cold and snow, but they seemed to be having so much fun, and Laney was bored. She had no idea that bed rest could be so boring. Oh Mother Lois came to check on her every once in a while, her in-laws tried their best to be good company and Catori frankly wouldn't leave her side, but there was only so much of the little room that she could take. She wished she could see the rest of the abbey, explore its many wonders, but for the good of her kitt she stayed dutifully in the infirmary waiting for the return of the healer with her medicine.

Catori glanced out the window also and smiled fondly at the Dibbuns that were playing in the courtyard. He couldn't help but imagine their little kitt out there playing with them and grew excited at the fact that that would be a reality before too long. He kissed his wife's forehead softly and nuzzled her cheek. How are you feeling today, Love?

Laney sighed but she smiled at her husband, "I'm doin' alright. It's tough work lying here looking beautiful." She teased. She'd had a couple more contractions but they were hours apart and more just the tightening than actual pain. She didn't really think she needed to worry anybeast about them. From what Elthia had said, they were perfectly normal.

Catori chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. You don't even have to work to look beautiful, Hun. He smiled and rubbed her stomach gently. How's the little one today? Not giving you too much trouble I hope.

Lalena smiled humbly at his complement. She certainly didn't feel beautiful lying there. She was sure her fur was standing up at odd angles. She realized that more than just about anything right now she'd love to get a bath and then brush her fur till it shined. She wondered if she was allowed to actually soak in a bath and if there was a place for her to do that here at the abbey. When Catori asked her about the kitt she smiled genuinely. That was the reason she was doing all this. "He's fine," she said softly she placed her paw on top of his and laced her fingers with his.
