have the time for one more son

Voltage would smile sadly, nuzzling into her fur. He hoped that was an exaggeration, really. "You'd be fine..." He whispered softly, just holding her. "I wouldnt be able to live without you.." And it was true, honestly. He would live, but his life had been different. He needed her like he had needed to breathe, and until a few years ago he hadn't ever known it. So he would do everything in his power to make it right again. Somehow...someway.

Then she said something that shocked him. Stormy eyes would widen slightly before he lifted his head to look down at her, meeting her sightless gaze. For a moment he was silent before he leaned in to gently rest his nose against her muzzle. "We could teach them how to swim?" He whispered softly. The idea of a second litter hadn't really dawned on Voltage, just like the idea of the first one hadn't, but now that it was out there it felt so natural. Perhaps it was a part of him that just longed to be a father again, but they were still grieving. How fair for their daughters would it be to come home and find that their parents had had more children. But still... "I miss them...so much, Gaia. I do, with every ounce of my heart. I miss little illie and her big blue eyes and her whiny voice, and I miss Current and her sleeping habits. I miss coming home to your smile and our children doing god knows what..." He trailed off then, looking away before sighing. "I know what you're feeling...I feel it too. Gaia, you were the best mother for them. It was my fault it happened. I..smothered our babies. I wanted to keep them little for a long time, I wanted to protect them to the point of...of insanity." He murmured, closing his eyes. "I failed them as a parent..."
