"Yes, I know," the big badger turned to go. She looked down at the broken bowl in her paws. It had been made by the badger who had taught her the art, but it was just a thing. Creatures were always more important than things. She tossed the broken pieces into the trash on her way out of the room but she turned back when she reached the door. "Have fun on your trip, you three. Oh and Elthia, how's the little mother we brought up earlier? Is she settled in alright?"
"Thank you, Lois. She's doing well. Actually she's the one we're getting the medicine for. She'll be with us for a few weeks providing we can keep the kitt in that long. The medicine will help and she needs to stay in bed as much as possible. Would you mind looking in on her while we're gone?"
"Of course, I'd be glad too." Lois felt happy to be included in the little otterwife's treatment. She hoped she could also be of assistance when the kitt was born.

Ronan picked Juan up gently and stroked his head fur softly. We should be back within a week or two, I think. How long were we planning on being gone, Elthia?

"Oh, Laney will need the medicine as soon as we can get it back to her. As much as I'd like a good long stay we really should get back here as soon as we can. We can take a longer trip later. In the spring maybe," She smiled at Ronan. She was hoping that they could manage a trip for just the two of them in the spring. Maybe a honeymoon trip.
Lois nodded. "I'll come back and check on her first thing in the morning and you can let me know of any last minute instructions. Goodnight." She left the infirmary to check on her dibbuns once more before she went to bed herself.

Ronan nodded his understanding at his fiancee's words and looked down at the sleepy otterbabe in his arms. Poor little guy looks tired. Should we go tuck him in in the dormitories or would he be alright here for tonight?

"Well we're probably going to be getting off early in the morning," Elthia whispered smoothing her little son's head fur with her paw. "We'll just keep him here." She led them over to an empty bed and turned down the covers so Ronan could lay him down.

Ronan walked over and layed the now sleeping otterbabe on the bed carefully so as not to wake him. He pulled the covers over him to keep him warm and kissed his forehead softly. Night, Buddy. Sleep well.

Elthia placed a paw on Ronan's shoulder fully enjoying watching the gentle way he cared for the kitt. "Our son," she whispered to him. Our first, she thought to herself, because they would surely have more after they were officially husband and wife.

Ronan smiled and kissed her cheek softly. Yeah. Our son. It almost seems surreal doesn't it? Like a dream, a very good dream. He stroked the little otter's head fur softly as he lost himself in his thoughts.

"It's a dream come true," She could tell Ronan didn't want to leave the little one to go back to his own room. "You wanna stay up here tonight. There's another bed open here and I'll be just in the other room. Then we can leave at first light."

Ronan nodded and smiled. Thanks, Love. That sounds like a good idea. First light it is then. We might have to carry Juan for awhile so he can rest well. I'll carry him tomorrow if you want me to.

Elthia grinned at him, her eyes twinkling, "As long as I get to carry the next one." She giggled, "I love you, Ronan Riverwolf. I'm so happy I'm going to be your wife, mother of your children, although I have to admit I never thought the latter would come before the former."

Ronan laughed as he nuzzled and kissed his fiancee's cheek. Neither did I, but I can tell you that I've never been happier. I love you too, Elthia. So much that I could never put it into words.

The ottermaid practically purred but she pulled herself away sooner than she would have liked. "I'm just gonna . . ." she indicated the other room that was her own sleeping quarters. "We've got an early start tomorrow. Come get me if anycreature needs anything. I usually hear but. . ." She also usually left her door open a crack but she couldn't do that tonight. "G'night, Ronan."

Ronan smiled and nodded. Alright, Hun. I'll do that. Night, Love. Sweet dreams. He kissed her cheek and layed on the bed next to his new son instead of laying on the free one. He curled around his tiny son protectively and drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Elthia had a bedtime routine she liked to follow. It involved changing into her night gown brushing her teeth, brushing her fur. All of these things calmed her down and prepared her for sleep. And las of all before she finally settled down, she liked to check on her patients one last time to make sure everycreature was alright before she blew out the last candle. This night was no exception, hearing only silence from the main room she tip-pawed out of her bedroom and checked on every beast within her care. She even poked her head in to Laney and Catori's room to make sure that the two of them were sleeping peacefully. Finally she stopped by the bed where Ronan and Juan were cuddled up together. She smiled almost wishing she could join them. Oh but there would be plenty of time for that after everything was official. For now she contented herself to kiss each of them on the forehead and then slipped off back to her own bed where sleep quickly found her.
