Leah could hear Zacky down the hall, putting together the pups' cribs. She knew she should be in there helping, or at least watching, but she didn't feel like getting out of bed. The pups were due in just a few days and Leah was still almost in denial. She still didn't feel ready to be a mother and she didn't know that she would ever be. But it wasn't like she had a choice. Leah was still holding out hope that once the pups were born, she would change her mind about them. She would feel the maternal bond she was already supposed to be feeling. And even if she didn't she would have to act like she did. Everyone would think she was awful if they thought she didn't love her pups. Groaning, Leah finally forced herself to sit up and get out of bed. It wasn't because she was going to join Zacky in the nursery, she just had to pee. It was an unfortunate side effect of having three pups on her bladder.
Matt transformed into his human form as he reached the front porch. He was still breathing a little heavily from running through the woods, but that would pass soon enough. He slipped into the house, kicking off his shoes before going to greet Aubree in the kitchen. "Hey," he said, giving her a peck on the cheek. "I feel pretty gross so I'm going to take a shower but then I was thinking maybe we could grab something for lunch before your appointment this afternoon?" Matt had almost entirely forgotten about Aubree's appointment at the council mansion's hospital that afternoon. It was mostly a follow-up appointment, a little bloodwork to see if the fertility meds were working. Matt headed upstairs, grabbing a clean set of clothes before heading into the bathroom. He hoped the doctor would have some sort of answer for them today, because he wanted pups soon and he knew that Aubree did too, more than anything.
