heart hope

Steel's heart was light, and full of joy. He remembered even now a day when he had been certain there was no happiness in store for him, not ever again. The world had looked so dark, and so bleak - that was, until he met her. Everything had changed then. His red eyes glimmered happily as she spoke, as his eyes followed her each step for a long moment. She assured him she wasn't pushing herself too much, and he'd flash her a disbelieving look, merely being playful. "As long as you're not overdoing it," he'd offer lightly. He knew Esarosa wouldn't push herself so much that she risked her own health, or their children's, but that didn't stop him from bringing it up anyway as a gentle reminder. "Though if I could bear some of the burden, I gladly would." His words were genuine; he hated seeing her uncomfortable, and badly wished he could ease some of her discomfort. He'd have to let her sleep awhile after the children were born so she could recoup some of her lost energy.

Esarosa didn't seem to know how many pups she was carrying. Steel didn't know how it felt, though he seemed to want to try to figure it out. It was something they wouldn't know until they were born. The thought made his stomach twist in excited, nervous knots. "Hopefully no more than four," he said with a snicker, though his tone was joking. He would be beyond happy with however many, but four sounded decent to him.. five, however, sounded a lot more demanding. Doable, though he figured he'd end up exhausted either way, in the best way possible. He chuckled as he pressed his snout against her belly again, nuzzling into her fur lightly.

He found himself laughing again at the thought of how time-consuming this would be. It didn't deter him from it, though.. not that they could possibly go back on their decision now. It was terrifying to think that they were about to raise tiny, fragile children, but they could do anything together. "I can't even wait." Grinning, he lifted his head to nuzzle her cheek, tail wagging in a wide arc behind him.
