Chapter Text
A month had gone by since Ember the Fox's one night stand with Smokey the Bear. All she had wanted was to hook up with the bear before he retired, and that was it. Little had she known that something new would come out of this sexual liasion.
It all started when she realized that she'd missed her period. She hadn't realized until then how weird it was that she could get periods despite being a fox, but that was neither here nor there. Aside from a missed period, she'd also been feeling somewhat hungrier than usual and dizzy; as well as fatigued, like the very act of walking around would wear her out. After a few days of feeling under the weather, she decided that it was time for her to schedule a doctor's appointment. She was a little nervous about going to the doctor, but she knew that it was important to take care of her health.
When she arrived at the doctor's office, she was greeted by a friendly nurse who took her vitals and asked her a few questions about her symptoms. Ember explained that she had been feeling tired and a little dizzy, and the nurse made a note of it before leading her to an exam room.
Ember sat nervously on the exam table, waiting for the doctor to arrive. She fiddled with her tail, feeling a little uneasy. But before she knew it, the door opened and the doctor walked in, a warm smile on their face.
"Hello, Ember," the doctor said. "I'm Dr. Owl. How are you feeling today?"
Ember explained her symptoms to the doctor, who nodded thoughtfully as they listened. They took a few notes on their clipboard and then began to examine Ember.
After a thorough examination, Dr. Owl sat down next to Ember and spoke to her kindly.
"I think I know what's going on," the doctor said. "You're pregnant, Ember!"
Ember's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't even considered the possibility. But as the doctor explained more about the symptoms she had been experiencing, it began to make sense.
Dr. Owl talked Ember through the next steps, offering advice on prenatal care and lifestyle changes she would need to make. Ember listened carefully, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
As she left the doctor's office, Ember couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. She was going to be a mom! But she knew that with the help of her partner, Smokey the Bear, and her healthcare team, she could take care of herself and her growing family.
With a newfound sense of purpose, Ember headed home, eager to share the news with Smokey and begin this new chapter of their lives together.
