Every day since he had arrived back at the Gulley Jakart would always find a moment to visit the burial grounds of his parents at the base of the mimosa tree. He hadn't told them yet despite getting Callisto settled in a week or so prior to today. There wasn't an opportunity to return to the dream world where his mother Tahlia had been visited. She needed to know he made it, the old she wolf still probably fretting and worried sick about him. The grey wolf stood with rapt attention as he eyed the scattered flowers and feathers over the flat ground before taking a reverent step forward to place the water iris's he held between his jaws down between the graves. "So I'm," Jakart stopped suddenly and looked anxiously between his forepaws, trying to show some restraint at the news he was going to share. "going to be a father." He mumbled reverently. The grey wolf was happy at the news, at knowing that his lover carried their children without complication so far and that it would be any day before little wobbly babies entered his life. Their life. No matter how many pups there were Jakart would love all of them equally as best he could. "Dad I hope I can do right by you, make you proud." It was all he could ever want with the family he was being bestowed with, muzzle leaning down to spread the flowers more evenly across where his parents bones rested. "Show the love you showed us mom." Jakart finished unevenly. He didn't expect that being here would be hard or sharing the news any more difficult than taking a sip of water. It had been almost three years since his parents passing. Perhaps it had been the type of news that he was sharing. With a dip of his head Jakart suddenly stepped off the side to turn away and called off to the side. "I'll come back when they have names." And with that he bounded off towards the den Callisto has taken over. She would need to be asked if she needed anything, meat, a basic herb he could find of she wasn't in the mood to stretch her paws. As Jakart approached the den he had to remember about the rock shelf one had to hop down, the protrusion about leg height and excellent against prevent pups from wandering off. Jakart knew that was the reason she picked it, in a territory like this he knew safety was a key factor. One that... Jakart stopped in front of the entrance. There were sounds of shuffling, tiny cries coming from the inside. The grey wolf's heart leapt in his chest at the scent of birth. Had they arrived. Ears stood forward and head ducking into the den to peer inside. He had only been gone for a few hours! How many where there? Was she done? Jak could only see two wriggling forms nestled in the curve of her stomach, both black and nursing greedily, one glistening more than the fluffy other. "Callisto... they're beautiful." The stunned male whispered taking an uneasy step inside so he could curl around his lover and get a closer peek at the lives they both brought into this world. His brothers! He would need to tell them, another set of steps given as Jakart found himself inside the den and at the edge of the rock shelf, head ducking low and eyes shifting along her stomach to make sure he hadnt missed any. |
