Chpt.2 A Soft Touch
Gaze lifted to the sky outside of her empty den, a call sounding for her. Her heart jumped in her chest, eager to find him yet a little confused. Why didn't he come to the borders? Perhaps he had a reason, and she also needed to tell him a few things that had been on her mind. Only a couple of nights prior had she finally come to a conclusion and brought her mind to a slow halt. The talk with her nephew bringing to light, new thoughts. She knew Newol loved her, that she didn't doubt. Rolling to her side, she steadily lifted herself off the ground, her body still unaccustomed to the new weight that steadily grew within her. It was only a matter of time now, and she was afraid for when that day came. She had never experienced child birth before, obviously, and she didn't want to go through it alone. That was one thing she wanted to talk to him about, though she was sure he would not leave her on her own when the time came. Still, she wished he was here beside here, even if for a little while.
Sliding out of her den, she sauntered eagerly towards her mate. Slipping past the borders she guarded everyday, the bushes no match for her form as they failed to stand in her way. It didn't take long for her to reach the Gulley, large paws stepping quietly, the scents of flowers and plants and even the scents of another family seemed to linger here. As curious as she was, she would leave the loners be and continue her path to find her beloved. Following his scent trail, she would easily find him in a secluded area of the terrain, her tail wagging heartily at the sight of him, eyes glowing bright as she approached to nuzzle his face.
"Newol, I've missed you." A soft whine escaped her as she kissed him over and over. She was sure he'd notice the change in her body since last they'd seen each other, unless he thought she was just getting fat from eating too much or her fur was growing heavier with the coming of the colder seasons. She would sit in front of him, her neck pressed up against his, head resting on his chest as she snuggled into him. God this felt good, how long had she been wanting to do this again? It didn't matter anymore, he was here. They were together after years of waiting. And she was happy. |
