"I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it! I'm a survivor, ta ra ra ra ra!," sings a lovely blonde headed pregnant woman as she's bent over trying to reach for a pot placed inside an interesting wooden structure not usually seen in this world.. Cabinets she calls them. 

"Yes, you're a survivor, yes, we made it, but uh Sheila, can you please let me help you?" almost whines pleads a certain light brown colored hair male who's been standing nearby the entire time in case the female ever appears like she'll be falling over to the side, or to the front, or to the back.. Well basically anywhere and everywhere.

Coming back up with the pot raised up in one hand, she hollers out loud, "I am woman, hear me roar!" in an almost sing-songy voice. Yet all of a sudden she starts to cry, "if I could only roar.. And if only I wasn't so big and clumsy I could've gone with them."

Watching her hands fall down in despair, Sam immediately grabs the pot before it slams onto the floor. "You're not clumsy, just blessedly pregnant..."

Soon a full blown cry starts. Now, imagine a very pregnant woman with bloated feet and knees, unable to sit all the way down by herself without tumbling over (ugh explicit bathroom emergencies), and living in an era without energy and fast foods. Yes, Sheila was experiencing some strong cravings, especially for chocolate! Snickers, kit-kats, m&m's, gotta get them NOW!!!

Sam, not knowing what to do, flattens his ears and rapidly searches around, hoping that maybe someone will appear to help them out, especially since his own papa never told him what to expect and what to do for a pregnant female!!! Or maybe he did, but he just never listened... -_-

So, though I said I'm not leaving, I'm technically not leaving just traveling... pfff this is like a vacation, a very much needed vacation... Yeahhhh, thinks Suki as she finds herself surrounded by her males, some warriors of her tribe, and the travelers.  One of which includes her three marked brother, Casper, who immediately went to their tribe when he heard about the attack.

Sigh, rumors really do spread fast huh. Well, it's time for the other tribes to know and remember that we're still strong.

Yeap, you guessed it. Since Sheila was indeed very much pregnant Suki volunteered to head out and recruit other tribes to their war. Of course, she also had some other more self-ish plans in mind. Just hopefully her males would be able to control their jealousy, especially Vick who didn't feel that Suki would be safe enough. Though he's still not considered part of her family, he somehow bulldozed his way in with them. Typical alpha.  

Rewinding back to a few days ago, an olive skinned female with black wavy hair is seen sunbathing near the self proclaimed females bathing area. Near her sides are the not so fiery Natasha trying to gather flowers into her lap and a thoughtful looking Elena pruning the cinnamon colored female's hair.

"I heard the leaders talking about this the other day. They're trying to figure out which of us females should head out with one of the groups," lowly comments Natasha as she softly presses on the petals.

"If I were more adventurous I'd volunteer, yet I also know that Bronco wouldn't let me go," sighs Elena as she twirls one of Natasha's strands. "Though, I wonder why Mallory volunteered to go?"

"Maybe it's a strategy because she's also blonde?" ponders Natasha as she finally begins to make a flower head wreath.

Yawn, "could be, but then again, maybe she volunteered for another reason," adds Suki as she goes into a sitting position.

Both of her friends looked at her inquisitively.

"Oh, like what?" Elena blinks as she tries to think of a reason why a female would ever leave their safe place behind.

"Umm, well I've been thinking that this is a perfect chance to add strong males to the family, mmm maybe that could be what she's thinking??" asks Suki embarrassingly. 

Natasha nods, "that's a good point, though for me, I'm not ready, but you Suki..." She then leans her face to the blushing face of the bear beast female, "are brave enough to wander outside and you are completely able to accomplish your dream." Finishing, the cinnamon hair female shows one of her rare smiles.  

Back to the present, so, yeap, let the search begin!!
