Catori smiled as he happily watched the intereaction between his wife and parents. He layed his head on his wife's shoulder and closed his eyes as his paw instinctively went to her stomach. The Skipper blushed and nodded shyly in answer to her question. Yeah. You and me. If you'll have me... I can understand if you wouldn't.

Laney didn't have any words for how happy she was. Now with her in-laws there everything was perfect. She placed her paw on top of Catori's and they were both rewarded with a little kick.
"Ronan," She called him by his name rather than his title. It seemed more personal somehow. "Of course I . . . I mean. . ." then she smiled and gave a little giggle, "You are asking what I think you're asking, aren't you?"

Catori smiled excitedly when he felt the kick and rubbed his wife's stomach affectionately. He'd never been happier in his life. For once, everything was going right. Ronan blushed from ear to tail and lowered his ears shyly as he nodded again in response to her question. He smiled back at her and kissed her cheek shyly.

A thrill ran through Elthia when he kissed her for the second time that day. It made her feel giddy and playful. "Well then," she teased, "I'd like to hear you say it. A girl dreams her whole life of a moment like this and it needs to be done properly."
Just then Laney felt another pain. She was sure Catori couldn't help but feel her muscles tense up under his paw. She clamped her teeth together to avoid crying out. She didn't want to worry Tori's parents.
((Ronan and Elthia just have to be interrupted don't you think?))

Ronan nodded in agreement with her statement, still blushing. He took her paws in his gently as he spoke. Truth is, I love you, Elthia. I've fallen absolutely head over heels for you, and I was wondering... Would you do me the honor of being my wife? Catori felt her muscles tenses up and he looked at her concernedly as he nuzzled her cheek worriedly and whispered. Is everything alright, Love? [OOC: LOL Typical isn't it?]

Laney squeezed her husband's paw and swallowed hard before attempting to speak and even then her voice sounded a bit harsh in her own ears. "Maybe Mother and Father would like to go down and get some supper." They agreed and headed towards the door. Laney pulled Catori closer to her so they wouldn't hear, "Get Elthia!" she whispered and a little moan escaped her lips as tears filled her eyes.
"Ronan I. . ." Elthia began but she halted as Catori's parents exited the room on their way down to Cavern Hole for supper. She smiled at them waiting impatiently for them to leave so she could continue with her acceptance of the Skipper's proposal.

Catori nodded and kissed his wife's forehead reassuringly. I'll be right back, Love. He stood and walked out to the main infirmary and over to Elthia. I'm really sorry to bother you, but my wife needs you. It's the Kitt again.

"I'll be right there," Elthia said to Catori then she looked back up at Ronan and shrugged. "Don't go anywhere." she smiled and gave his paws a last squeeze before she let them go. "A question like that deserves a proper answer." She hurried to Laney's side, "What is the problem?" she asked the young otterwife kindly.
Laney had tears running down her cheeks. She was so afraid that something would be wrong with the kitt. "I had another pain. It was worse than before and my stomach got all tight for a second."
Elthia nodded and spoke to Catori over her shoulder still calmly but with an edge of urgency. "Could you step outside for a moment? I'm going to do another quick exam." She lit the other lamps in the room so she could have more light to work by.

Catori nodded reluctantly and kissed Laney's forehead softly before stepping out of the room. He closed the door quietly and slumped to the floor, leaning against the wall with his head in his paws. He was really worried about Laney and the Kitt, and he didn't want anything to happen to either of them.

Elthia washed her paws when she was finished with the exam and spoke to Laney mater-of-factly, "I believe you had a contraction."
Laney gasped, "Doesn't that mean I'm in labor? It's too soon, isn't it? What are we going to do?"
"Now calm down," Elthia smiled at her. "It's a false labor. That means it's not progressing you at all like a normal labor would."
Laney breathed a sigh of relief.
"We still need to be extra careful. I see now I was right in putting you on bedrest. And there are other things we can do."
"Like what?" Laney wanted to do what ever she had to do for her kitt to be safe and healthy.
"There are herbs that you can take to hold off the labor as long as possible. I don't know the exact way to mix them so I'm going to have to ask the Otter Fixer about them. Good thing is you've already seen her. She knows your size and body type so she'll know better than anyone how to dose you."
"Thank the seasons."
"Would you like me to bring Catori in and we can tell him?" the healer asked her.
"Yes, please."
Elthia when to the door, opened it, and nodded for Catori to enter.

Catori stood and immediately went to Laney's side. He looked between them both with a worried look on his face. Is everything alright? Nothing's wrong is there? He layed his head on his wife's shoulder worriedly as he waited for an answer, praying that it wasn't bad news.

"It's all right, Tori. It's . . . it's . . . what did you say it was?" Laney asked just happy that it wasn't anything more serious.
"Laney had a false labor pain. Some females have them through the entire pregnancy. There are herbs that Laney can take to make them occur less often or even stop them all together. But I'll need to speak to Sardra to find out exactly how to mix them." She smiled reassuringly at them both. "Rest is the best thing right now."
"Thank you, Elthia." Laney hugged her husband.

Catori hugged his wife relievedly before jumping up and hugging the healer gratefully. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to us. He sat next to his wife again and held her close to him in a protective and loving gesture.

"Oh I think I can guess," Elthia said outloud, but in a voice that only she herself could hear. She had been imagining how she would feel if something was endangering somebeast that she loved. Her thoughts immediately went to Ronan and she wanted to finish the conversation she had been having with him. "I'll just leave you two alone now," she said, this time so they could hear but she didn't think that either of them were paying her any attention. So she slipped out of the room and closed the door behind her.
"It's okay, Tori." Laney told her husband again and again. "We're okay." She held him close, as if she were hanging on to him for dear life.
"Ronan," Elthia rejoined the skipper of otters and grabbed his paws. "Where was I?"

Catori nodded and kept holding his wife close to him in an effort to comfort both her and himself. He'd been so afraid that something was wrong that the relief he felt was weakening him. Ronan smiled happily and squeezed her paws lovingly. He kissed her cheek and grinned somewhat lopsidedly. I believe you were about to give me an answer to my proposal.
