Being a Were and feeling your body move and shift from human to wolf, and vice versa was an experience she was accustomed to feeling. If she had to describe what it was like to a person that was about to experience their first shift, she knew the exact words to say to help them know what it was like, and prepare for it. Being pregnant though...this whole experience was...indescribable. All the changes she was feeling in her body just threw everything off. Her nose was always sensitive, but being pregnant, certain odors, she just couldn't stand anymore, like onions. If a recipe called for onion, she just wouldn't cook with it, even if the taste was a bit off. The body aches and pain like headaches, leg cramps, heartburn, swollen feet, and ankles were very uncomfortable. She was never one that cared about her appearance. How could she, more importantly, why should she? After taking a shower, she would always see herself in the mirror and noticed all the changes. Her stomach wasn't the only thing that was getting bigger, her husband seemed quite happy about those sorts of changes. Talking to her Doctor, reading those pamphlets, and those online articles just...wasn't enough. Raven wished she had a Mother to talk through these things. In fact, she wished she had her mother when she became a woman when she started dating Tobias when she was about to get married. It would have been nice. All she had growing up was her cage, the books she was given, or the hope that things would get better. It would be comforting to speak to someone that went through it. Whether she was ready or not, she was entering month number 5, it wouldn't be long now.

Being pregnant she did expect to have a strong appetite. Carrying Tobias' child her appetite had increased significantly. However, there was another sort of appetite that she didn't expect. After speaking to her Doctor about this particular craving, the Doctor gave her the green light, and when she explained this to Tobias, he was more than happy to oblige in helping her elevate her craving. While the two of them were waiting for Tetradore and Mira to arrive, she was stretched out on the couch reading one of those books, while her husband was busy playing his video games. There was no reason why she had this...sudden urge...but she couldn't stop it. Calling out to her mate, she couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction. He pressed the button on the controller to turn it off his game, and set it on the table, grabbing her hand and leading her to their bedroom. Tuckered out from their tryst, the young woman and curled up against her mate, attempting to catch her breath. Resting her head on his chest, she watched as his fingers began to trace those scars across her pale skin, giggling softly when his finger gently went across her large stomach. Her hand would rest on one side of her stomach, attempting to feel some sort of movement. It was month number 5 and she should be feeling something by now...right? Raising her head slightly she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, before letting her head fall back onto his chest with a soft sigh.

"What if we called the cub Evan, it means young warrior. Keegan means small fiery one, and with all the heartburn I get...it makes sense. There's Regan, that means little ruler! Think any of those names would work...if not what were you thinking? And do not say Toaster or Napkin, I already told you no."

Closing her eyes for a moment, she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as he answered. She could feel that familiar itch, that need to shift. It was a full moon and it would be the first time in a long while that the two of them would be able to run with members of their pack. Raven was rather excited to be with them again, it would feel good to feel that connection again. The last time she got to spend time with Mira alone was when they went out on her insane desire to free those supernatural creatures in that auction house. The only way she kept Mira from burning them inside the building was by telling her the good news that she was going to be an Aunt. Before she was unsure, but now, well it was obvious. It would be very good to connect with her again. Running around would give all of them the chance to release whatever built-up stress of anxiety they had. This whole transition was difficult for everyone. Blue-grey eyes widened in shock when she heard the familiar growl of the sports car engine. Instantly her cheeks started to flare a deep red as she started to rise up from the bed. Using her telekinesis, she lifted their clothes and brought them over to the bed. Using the bed as leverage she lifted herself upwards. Grabbing her clothes, she tried putting them on as quickly as she could, her heart racing. She couldn't help, but yelp when she heard the front door open. How the hell did they get in?! Pulling her shirt over her head she pulled her golden curls out from under it, looking over at her mate, seeing him putting on his shirt. Moving quickly over to him, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently, speaking urgently to him.

"Tobi, we do not tell them we played the sex game just now, okay?"

Keeping his hand in her own she led them out of their bedroom, walking down the hallway to find Tetradore and Mira standing in their living room. Resting her other hand on her large stomach, she stroked it softly, trying to calm herself down. Flushed, she spoke up with a wide smile.

"Mira! Tetra! You guys made it! Um, Tobi and I were, we were, um...oh, you brought cookies, thank you Mira!"

Thank goodness she saw the basket Mira was holding. Letting go of Tobias' hand she waddled her way over to Mira and Tetra a friendly hug.
