Normally, Ellie wasn't one to dwell on things. She was very much the 'live in the now' sort. But at that moment...looking out at the setting sun from the entrance of the den she shared with Betta, she was realized just how much she missed the sound of cubs running around the den, pestering her and Betta. She loved being a mother. Loved telling her little ones stories. Loved soothing away their fears and hurts, teaching them to fight, teaching them about the world around them. She let out a heavy sigh. Perhaps...it was time to talk with Betta about that. She knew he loved having cubs around, too.
