i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Pregnant. Moth was pregnant. Aurum thought, for the briefest of moments, that his ears were ringing, because all he could hear was the repeat of that one word over and over again. Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant. Moth was pregnant. And he was going to have little nieces and nephews. Fuck, Selby was gonna be a Dad. It was all enough to make him freeze in place, all previous words and questions utterly forgotten. To an outside source, it might've even looked like he was angry or barely holding himself back, but he wasn't really. He was just... stunned. His sister was really pregnant.
Aurum knew well from the look on Moth's face that she was waiting for a reaction from Selby, but the lion decided to provide his first. That way, even if Selby didn't respond positively immediately, she would still know there were others quite overjoyed about it – even if the proxy didn't really think Selby would respond negatively. The male surged forward, being especially careful to hold his weight back as he wrapped Moth up in his warm arms, touching his nose lovingly to her head. He rumbled after a long moment, sounding faintly breathless, "Moth... Moth, this is great! This is amazing! I can't believe you're really pregnant! Oh my God, you're gonna have little itty bitty kittens... I can't wait to meet them. I promise I'll be the best uncle ever." He pulled away after a moment, so that Selby would have access to his girlfriend. Sitting back on his haunches, Aurum couldn't help the way that a smile split his face, unable to hide his excitement. Sure, it wasn't as if he was having kids with anyone, but it was still damn thrilling. His family was getting larger, and he was going to have little nieces and nephews to spoil rotten. What more could anyone really ask for?
