"The bar's closed now," he told Scott once they were in the shower, "if you're worried about someone seeing you like this.  I'll keep you in my room during operating hours."  He looked down at the hunter's belly.  "Before you get really huge, probably a week at most.  Time from seeding to birth is usually between two and three months depending on the litter size."  

"You liked the idea of being bred big, didn't you, hunter?"  The shifter asked as the water ran down the drain but Scott didn't step inside.  He kept a close watch on the man and his thumb on that sprayer.  "I saw your face when I first said it.  Something inside you liked the idea."  

"Crying's not a sign of weakness.  Tears come from anger, and hate, or any kind of eye irritation.  What you think I'm some stupid redneck that doesn't know chemistry or anything about human biology?"  He scoffed with an annoyed look.  "Ain't dumb, boy.  I know how hormones work and pretty sure your's will be all over the place.  You'll be crying when you see the sun rise or you feel them move."  He waved his hand at Scott's belly.  

"I don't forget things, boy."  He stepped up behind the hunter keeping just far enough out of range so he could get out of the way if an attack rose.  "You wanna tell somebody why you got to be the one that ends everything for Shifters.  You carry a heavy burden on those shoulders.  Can't prove nothing to somebody that will never see what you do.  Mine as well tell me, seeing you're going to be here for a while."  

"The Shifter that tried to kill your family.  You remember anything about it?"
