Geez, Terasu never knew such hormones could make a femme so....grouchy. Oh well, so long as he didn't complain much or dare be smart in response, then he'd live to see another day. The woods passed soon enough, and the father to be found himself at the front door of his friend's home. The rest of his family wasn't around, and who better to go to than his sibling of sorts?
Terasu peeked around the front porch, not seeing or hearing anyone outside. Not even out back by the pool. Tapping his tails, he peered at the door hesitantly before knocking upon it. He was so used to Hq, where you could trot right inside. For now, he simply waited and tried not to be too anxious.

The door opened shortly after Terasu knocked, but Atae wasn't the one who opened the door. The little silver Nobody had, floating about level with the door handle. She blinked golden eyes somewhat reminiscent of Ed down at Terasu before squeeling, "Feathers!"
Just as she started to dart forward to investigate Terasu's feathers Atae did spy the two of them. "Bryna!" It was an almost desperate bark of sound, but the teen stopped in mid air and flipped over to peer back at the belted femme upside-down. "Bryna, that's Terasu, he's my friend. Leave his feathers alone, ok? I don't think he'll like you chewing on them." The teen pouted but floated back over to where she'd been scribbling on paper with a bunch of crayons.
Atae padded over to the door, a grin of sheepish apology on her face as she motioned for him to come in. She peered out behind him, expecting another kitsu that didn't appear to be with him today. "Where's Charity?"

A click indicated the door being unlocked, only Terasu was surprised to find it wasn't Atae. Well, she had said that others lived here too, he just never stopped to consider it. He blinked, she blinked. He blinked again, before jumping back at her squee, fearing she'd pluck his collection of feathers from his pelt. The sound of Atae's voice was reassuring, as it pulled back the teen kitsu, who.....floated back inside. He sighed in relief, grinning to his friend. "Thanks Atae." He quickly hopped inside the house, and turned with a beaming smile at her question. "Charity? Well....." His paws fiddled and his tails swished uncertainly, like a child forced to keep a super secret.

Atae watched Terasu fidget and an eyebrow slowly raised. "Terasu... you two didn't get in trouble or something did you?" She padded over and poked at his shoulder. "Come on... what's up?"

A laugh came from the male, and he leaned from her poking. "No trouble. Please, from us?" As if that would ever happen. >>
Terasu only grinned and padded away to settle on the beanabag he had rested on before. Hind legs and tails hung off the edge of the cushiony object, and the feathered kitsu crossed his front paws at the wrists. "Come now Atae. Do try to guess." Ears teetered up and down slowly, pondering any hints he could give her. "Let's see, how to tell you....." Feel the anxiety!

So Terasu was going to being obnoxious about it, huh? Atae followed Terasu over to the beanbag. My, he looked comfy, didn't he? Atae jumped over and pounced on her "brother", doing a find job of messing up his head-fur after pinning down his head. "I'm gonna guess you're being a butt about telling me what's going on!" She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Oof-" Well, that was an unexpected tackle! But, Terasu was of passive nature, and so subjected himself to the torture of messed up hair. So long as his feathers didn't fall out, he was happy. "Alright, alright!" His paw moved to bat her tongue away, and hopefully un-pin himself. "Charity isn't here because......we're....expecting kits." There, it was said. It felt like reality ignored, and only brought to life at being spoken. Strange, the feelings that sentence brought.

It was more what he said than what he did that made Atae roll off and sit on the floor. HOLY COW PIES, DUDE. She sat there for a moment with a look of blank shock and then shook her head. "You... already?" Had they been really busy or was it a lucky shot? Geez. "I... does this make me an aunt... or... something?" Blink.

The male turned to Atae as her weight slipped off, ears tilting back as she seemed to be in a daze. Heh, some words too good for a prank. Her silence allowed him time to lapse into thought. He remembered the first time he heard those words, and all the emotions he'd felt since then. His face flushed as Atae mentioned how sudden the news was. After all, they had just mated not too long ago. And with that bond, well, time was spent together in more ways then one. One, that's still what got Terasu each time. x_x "An...aunt. I guess it does." He hadn't thought about it before.

Atae sweatdropped a bit. "Ah... I guess it's good I've had practice with Bryna and the perma-kits... or something..." They weren't really related but Terasu was as much a brother to her as anyone really could be... and the idea of him having kits and her being an aunt was... mind-boggling and a little sobering. "Ah... well... I have no idea what to say. Geez... Diina's had kits before, I guess, if you need to ask someone about it. Ah..." Now it was her turn to fidget. "How's Charity doing, then?"

Yeah, practice would've been good for the expecting parents. But there had never been kits around Terasu like....ever. And he doubted Charity would put up basically being crawled on by spawn of other kitsus. "Eh, I'm sure we'll do fine." Plus the idea of asking around about the topic was something he wasn't too eager to do. "Besides, you'll be a great aunt." A poke went to the belted femme's nose.
His face fell as she mentioned Charity, and he nearly pulled out his hair. "She gets these crazy mood swings. One moment she's all nice and cuddly, next she's like a freakin tornado. On steroids!" x__x; He sighed to himself, flopping his head in his arms. "And now she wants a bean bag."

Atae grinned. "We got lucky with Diina... she mostly had weird food cravings and got sleepy. I've heard that pregnant females can get... well, crazy. You'll just have to learn her triggers... well, the ones that aren't entirely in her thoughts." She patted his shoulder sympathetically. "Don't worry... I'll help where I can. Like the beanbag! You can have one... we've got plenty, I'm sure you've noticed." She poked at the one he was laying on. "But watch out for food cravings... pregnancy makes girls want weird things. Diina wanted pickle and banana slices on her cookies one time, I heard." She made a slightly disgusted face.

A nod came from Terasu's muffled face, slowly coming back out from the security of his paws. That's all he could do really, just sit back calmly as time went on through this pregnancy. An ear perked, going back to about how he had meant to ask Atae of a beanbag. "So, you don't mind?" It was true that they had alot, and all they needed was one. But green eyes widened and his tongue slung out at the recipe of Diina's cravings. "Are you serious?!" Who in their right mind would even think of such a combination?

Atae made another face. "Well, it's hear-say on my part, but Valefor's the one that told me, and she wouldn't lie about something like that." She shook her head emphatically. "When I have kids I am NOT going to eat stuff like that. Just... no." She went back to poking at the beanbag and then at Terasu. "Yeah, you can have one. I'm sure you guys could make better use of it than it usually gets around here, anyway."

"Heh, thanks Atae." And here he thought they got enough use with kits and....flame kitsus playing video games. XD Terasu went quiet for a long moment, eyes flickering to his paws in thought. "You know...." Geez, why did this have to come along with everthing? He moved a paw to brush away his hair. "Can you just....not say anything to anyone? For now atleast." He was already going to have a hard enough time once his mother and Ed returned. The thought made him rise from the beanbag and begin pacing around the room. Talk about stress.
