With Liberty and justice for all [Mature]
((I'm... SO EXCITED TO BE A DADDY >:D sorry about assuming he knew about the red meat cravings, I'm just gonna say she mentioned it after the fish? if you want me to change it just say!))
She had wanted red meat, something fresh and bloody apparently. Whether it was because of hormonal cravings or simply because she hadn't been able to hunt for herself in quite some time he wasn't sure. But he had never been one to argue. Not that she had ever asked, simply mentioned it in passing and he had taken some time to slid off again and try and hunt for her. Rabbit seemed too plain but it wasn't like he could take down a deer by himself... Not a full grown healthy deer at least... He had figured that Aislyn would need some time to deal with pack things and he needed some time to once again sort through his thoughts. It seemed as soon as he was away from Aislyn he was concerned about what was going on and distressed about this pack situation but once he say he he could never remember why he was worried in the first place. It was leaving hims confused and tired half the time, especially after everything that was going on at the pack meeting. He hadn't understood more then half the things that had been said at the meeting but from the faces and tones of the pack members he had sensed some unrest in the ranks. He didn't handle unrest in the ranks well. Going from a close knit, tight family pack like the one he had grown up in to a loner and now to this was more then a bit of culture shock. He wasn't sure what to do about all of this, he would stay here for Aislyn but as for the pack he would keep his distance. He wasn't yet sure if he even would ever be welcome here. He had come across the young fawn a day or so after the pack meeting. Its leg trapped in between two logs and bent awkwardly in a way that promised a broken bone. The mother must have known this for it was nowhere to be found. The small beasts cries could be heard for miles around and Friction wondered why nothing else had come to end it's life. He couldn't look at it as he approached, its flailing growing frantic as Friction slowly stalked closer. Jaws closed around it's throat and ended the squeals with a vicious snap, throwing it's head to the side. Spine broke easily and body slumped to the ground. It took him a while to get it's leg out of the place it ad gotten stuck but eventually he had the fawn griped easily in his jaws around the neck, walking awkwardly back towards the den with his prize in tow. Aislyn was due any day now and he had already been gone way too long. If she had had their child while he was gone she would never forgive him, not that he would ever forgive himself either. They were in an awkward in between phase still, she called him her boyfriend when he wanted nothing more then to be her mate. But he was still unsure if she wanted him to ask her to be his mate. They hand't had an exuberant amount of time to get to know eachother since she had told him to choose her or being a loner. He wanted to spend more time with her... There was a scream and fawn was dropped as quickly as it had been killed. He knew that voice and it could mean one of two things, she was in trouble or she was having the baby. There was no hesitation like there had been when she had called the pack meeting, muscles coiled and he launched himself towards the den. He skidded to a halt just outside, peeked in and smiled slightly. Being the oldest son of three litters he had helped with way too many births, especially with his mothers last litter which had been partially hard. But she was fine, he could see the baby's head and slowly backed up. She would be hungry after that and he didn't want to leave his kill for too long. But he still loped back to the fawn and walked faster then he had before back to the den. The fawn was laid outside the den and once more he peeked in. It was quiet now, a soft smile spread across his lips as he say Aislyn licking something close to her belly and a soft suckling sound. "I'm sorry I was gone... I brought you dinner if your hungry? May I come in?" he asked, taking a hopeful step forward and letting his tail lick at his heels happily. He was a dad, he could barely contain his excitement but he tried his best to not jump in and cover her in kisses. |
