Blade slept for hours after Anube was finished with her and woke up hungry, guessing she'd better get used to being that way for a while. Of course, she hadn't been expecting to shift to her wolf form in her sleep... She rarely used that form, preferring her cat for hunting since the wolf did better in a pack. But she finally realized that she had her 'pack' now, her brother and his mate, Anube and the twins to come.
She opened dark brown eyes and yawned before stretching her black and silver body, not realizing how rare and beautiful her wolf form was. Her body was black with silver tipping at the tips of each hair, her muzzle, paws, and the tip of her tail pure silver that faded into the black of her body, this form easily the same size as her cat, more like the extinct Dire Wolf than the wolves of today.
When she noticed Anube awake, she could easily tell that he hadn't slept all night and nuzzled him gently, 'You could have slept, my love... I felt the enhanced spells on the Were's Hallway that Sebastet put up to make sure that it wouldn't be found by anyone but the servants and staff... I'm as safe here now as I am in your arms...' she told him through their bond, hoping to reassure him.

As he slept, Blade's words turned out to be prophetic. The servants did wind up bringing her several meals, always just as she was starting to get hungry again. She only got up long enough to eat and set the tray out in the hallway before returning to lay next to him, cuddling into his warmth and strength.
Truthfully, she'd never felt so feminine, or so safe and protected, as she did when he was with her. She'd only ever been the aloof huntress, the dangerous fighter, the fierce protector of the island's inhabitants. She'd always been reclusive and elusive to everyone but her brother and godmother and young Ora when the girl was in her fox form. She'd even taken Ora out on her first hunt as a fox, taking her feline form to better protect the young girl.
As she laid there, though, she found herself thinking about the future, something she'd never considered before. She pictured herself taking her children out for their first hunts, easing them through their first shapeshift; Anube helping her teach their twins to fight and defend themselves. Cain, she knew, would take on teaching them to read and write, all of the book stuff they'd need to know. Cris and Desha would test them for magical ability and work at teaching them how to use it as they'd done with her and her brother.
But everything she thought of in the future, she always knew Anube would be there as well, at her side as he was now, as protective and loving with their children as he was with her.
She knew the moment he woke up and moved in to kiss his lips before letting her lips trail down his body, needing to make love to him again, to drive him crazy before he took her again. She knew how close they'd come to losing their family, how close he'd come to losing her as well, and needed to reassure them both that she and their children were fine, that they were healthy and alive...

Blade cuddled with Anube willingly, letting his heartbeat soothe her into a light rest. She somehow found herself resting lightly instead of being exhausted, strange but it did fit with her plans. She'd wanted for them to get out of the room a bit, take a walk or something. But it could wait until Anube was rested as well.
Then she found her thoughts going to the nursery that Wind was having added onto their suite and started thinking about cribs, blankets, paint colors, baby clothes, toys... That had her sitting up with a panicked look on her face and a hand to her head, "I think I'm hitting the nesting phase... Crap... Only one thing to do then, we get everything set up for the twins and I'll stop the uber-girly routine... That means we're going shopping tomorrow," she told him firmly.
Not much surprise to her reaction, though. Her brother was more 'girly' than she was....
