Tatra and the hunters returned and dropped their kills in the food pile. Tatra would grab a squirrel from the older stuff at the bottom not yet spoiled but not fresh ether. He'd walk over to a large flat rock he commonly laid on that was exposed to the sun and touched it with a paw. He pulled his paw back after feeling the warmth he knew would burn him overtime. He looked around looking for any other places to eat and spotted an empty spot just outside the den. He'd trot over and paw at the grass a bit before laying down and biting into the squirrel. It had lost most of it's flavor and was kind of bland but he would ea it anyway. Someone would have to so they could keep some scavenging animals away.

Trackstar watches Tatra lay down and thinks Maybe this is my chance to tell him my thoughts and wishes..

she gets up and immediately collapses feeling pain in her leg where she had fell on a branch two days earlier, and whines, her mind racing what did I do?!?! It was probably my only chance and i ruined it! How stubborn can i get??

this time she moans and tries to move but is welcomed by searing pain in her upper thigh. Her head spinning and trying to focus she barely makes out "Tatra, please h-" but was cut off by going unconscious.

Tatra's ears perked up at the sound of Trackstar's voice. He'd turn his head just in time to watch her fall. He got up quickly and ran into the den. What could have happened did I do something wrong? He thought nudging her with his nose before running out of the den and yelling "I need a medic".

A couple hours later...

Trackstar sturrs and moans, slowly opening her eyes with difficulty for her head ached and her leg was sore, memorys flood back in to her head and she immediately starts to get up and run out the door of the medic tent but collapses in the process and wimpers then yips out "Tatra!" It wasn't a loud yip but she hoped it was loud enough for him to hear.

Tatra ran over to Trackstar after hearing a quiet yip. He licked her head when he reached her. "How are you feeling?" he asked looking at her to see if there was anything else wrong.

"I'm fine.. just.. I wanted to tell you something. But... I'm scared you'll say no." Trackstar says, looking up at him then putting her nose in her paws. She yelps as Tatra moves her leg to see what's wrong and whines tiredly.

Tatra pulled his paw back after he heard her yelp. "Lets get you back to the den." He said and supported her as they walked back and into the den. He'd lay down and pat the spot nest to him with his tail. "So what was that thing you had to tell me?" He tilted his head slightly curiously.

"Oh, umm..." Trackstar stuttered, still unsure if she should tell him, spits it out "I want pups." She says shyly, looking the other way. Still scared about what Tatra will say, especially because she is injured and being injured and having pups at the same time isn't a very good idea. Although she still has her hope's up high as she is waiting for his answer.

Tatra's yellow eyes widened. "Oh well uh" he tried to speak but his brain wasn't forming words to say. After a little bit of silence he sat up "w-what about your injures a-are you sure? I wouldn't mind pups but it would be your body carrying the pups". He said in a somewhat state of shock.

Trackstar sighs "I know... but they would be our own pups! And.. I've been going crazy just thinking about it. Please?" She says happily wagging her tail and licks Tara's head then burying her head in his fur. All her worries gone, she rests her head on her paws looking up at him.
