She let out a soft breath, pulling back just a touch to look at him, her head cocked to the side as she gazed at him. "Dane, you know that bearing whelps is risky for any female." Heather and Durgan had both told them that there were a lot of risks involved and that it could be dangerous for the female to have a clutch - especially at Bree's age. Bree had shook it off though, telling the both of them that obviously she was going to have these bairns and there wasn't anything to do about that so there was no use in worrying about now, now was there? She still felt the same way and now realized that it must be some sort of maternal thing because really, never before in her life had she been so self sacrificing. Now though, she knew that as long as the whelps were ok, it really wasn't so important what happened to her. These were the next generation of Lallybroch, the future heirs to the clan, they were who was important in this situation. Leaning forward, she nuzzled his neck softly, lipping there gently as her heart swelled with affection as he admitted that he would hurt without her. "I am pretty used to having you around also." She murmured with a smile. It was a far cry from what she had said before, professing her love for him, but after the reaction she had gotten to that statement before, she hadn't even made mention of it since then. When Durgan came to check on her, she was usually quiet, just laying still and letting him do his thing while Dane paced back and forth, snorting and growling the entire time. Everytime, she had just assumed he was nervous about the whelps and when the two males drifted off to speak privately, she again just assumed they were talking about the clutch. Little did she know, it was generally Durgan once more telling Dane that he couldn't find what was causing the headaches and that Bree needed to keep resting so she could gather her strength for what he expected would be a rather difficult delivery.
