Runa milled around her den with a sense of both unending pride, and motherly loss. Now that they had returned to the pride there was no need for an overly large den. Her cubs, grown and gone, were off living their own lives, and while one might occasionally still stay with them for the most part they stayed the night elsewhere. Her sister would come by every once in a while as well, but Rona was an individualistic lioness. Runa might have been the same had she not met her mate.
Now that it was just her and Meshach she kept their home tidy when she wasn't hunting, which is what she was trying to accomplish today.
Yue'shi was practically bouncing on the tips of her toes. Her tail bobbed back and forth as she moved from one spot to the next, happily making her way back home. She was hoping to catch both of her parents at the same time, but the likelihood of that these days was so small.
Looking over her shoulder, she smiled to Boinedal and moved to walk a little closer to him. "What do you think they'll say? I think they'll be over the moon, but I don't know - I don't know how I'm not going to scream it at them when we get there, you know?" She laughed.

She brushed her body along side his, curling her tail against his hind leg. How could they not be excited? She hadn't come down from the high since the healer had first told her that her 'sickness' was pregnancy. When would she start to feel them? How many would they have? Would she be a good mother? Boinedal was going to make a great father-
Though, maybe she should stop day dreaming about it and focus a little more on walking. She tripped over her own paws, stumbling a little as she moved, but when she stabilized herself she exclaimed, "Got it!" Yue'shi grinned from ear to ear, more proud than she should have been over the near fall. "Of course I'll tell whoever happens to be there. And if one of them is missing we'll just track them down."
Even if she hadn't been able to see the approaching figures there would have been no way Runa couldn't have heard them. Granted, she didn't catch their entire conversation, but bits make her quirk a brow. Track who down? Maybe Yue'shi was looking for her sister; the twins had always been close, so maybe the separation was getting to her?
Runa stepped away from the interior of the den to make her way towards the entrance. "Welcome home, you two." Even as she came them a soft smile Runa couldn't help noting just how bright their own faces were. What was going on here? "

Runa stepped up to meet her daughter half way, and embraced her. It was brief; as all of her contact was, but not because of a lack of love. When she stepped back she looked at the pair of them critically, canting her head to the side when Yue seemed to vibrate with energy. Between her and that mate of hers Runa knew something fishy was going on.
"So...what brings you by? You know you're always welcome here, but this-" She motioned between the pair, "-is suspicious." Maybe that wasn't the right word, but Runa was a very blunt lioness.
Yue'shi took a step back to be a little closer to her mate. She looked to him, noticed the almost goofy way he was smiling, and leaned down to knock her head against his before looking back to her mother. How would she take it? Was she ready to be a grandmother yet?....Yue certainly hoped so!
"We're pregnant!" There was no precursor to it; no, we've got some news, sit down just a blurted, excited statement. "Isn't that amazing?! I never expected it to happen so soon, but...here we are." She laughed and looked to Boinedal, then her mother, then her mate and back again to Runa.

"I'm hoping for girls. I want a lot of daughters. Imagine how cute they would be with my eyes and Boinedal's colors. Little sweethearts with our strength, mom, and - Oh, well ,it's not like I wouldn't like a boy, too," She looked at her mate then, "You know that, right? No matter what we have I'll be happy."
Really she just wanted a happy, healthy family. She'd be just as happy with one cub as she would with ten! Maybe a little more so, since she wouldn't have to carry and deliver that many. Honestly, that whole part seemed a little nerve wracking.
Noticing that her mother had yet to say anything, Yue'shi turned to Runa, "Mother?"
Runa was speechless.
She was happy for them, so happy, but she was also a little remorseful in the way of a parent watching their baby have babies of their own. A part of her didn't want to let go of the little cub Yue'shi had once been, but the bigger part of Runa knew that this was possibly the best thing that could happen to Yue. She had a mate who loved her, a stable home, and a family to help her. Runa and Meshach had raised her to be strong enough to obtain all of that for herself, and she couldn't have been more proud.
Grinning, she stepped forward, her chocolate eyes lighting up. "This is wonderful! You're father will be over joyed." Looking to Boinedal, she asked, "Have you told your family yet?"
