Um. Maybe not.
Part of my problem is that my female protagonist, who was not a werewolf when the story began, is pregnant.
She has now been inadvertantly bitten by her husband, who was unaware of the pregnancy. Bitten by werewolf = become a werewolf, and in this universe, it means you're a pretty regular (although extremely LARGE, and intelligent) wolf for three nights out of the month, and human the rest of the time, including during the daytime during the full moon.
Considering the differences in physiology and fetal development between wolves and people... Dude, how would a pregnancy work? Does she deliver at 63 days, if that putative due date would be during the full moon? Is her fetus a human or a wolf during the moon? What happens after the due date of the wolf, when she's a wolf again? If she delivers a full-term puppy at the 63-day mark, what happens to it after the moon when it becomes human again? Does it turn into this terribly premature baby and die? Or does it turn into a normal full-term baby, even though it's only been in her womb for a couple of months?
See, this is what I get for having a degree in biology and actually caring about this stuff.
Argh. Why did I decide to write this again? Werewolf stories = hard sell, too. *tears hair out*
