Give Me A Reason [Birthing]
Ears flicked in acknowledgement when she told him to keep doing what he was doing. Right...he would remain beside her, comforting her as best as he could while his heart hammered wildly against his chest. The anxiety grew as the minutes went by, her pain obvious as the contractions took over her body. He continued to lick her neck, her ears, her back. Practically grooming her, almost as if he were trying to tidy her up for the arrival of their pups. He stole a glance when the first one came, the male abandoning his task as he stared wide eyed at the tiny bundle. He watched it snuggle into her belly before he realized there were more coming.
He was awestruck. He had never seen something like this before, and it was simply miraculous! As the rest came, he would help clean up the last two before nudging them to her belly with the other three. He looked at them in wonder. Three boys...and two girls. He did feel bad when he noticed that three of them were bigger compared to the other two. Oops. Oh well. He seemed to be in a trance as he watched them, the sound of Faite's voice pulling him out of it. She mentioned naming them. And it hit him that they hadn't talked about it. Another oops. Oh well. Now was their chance. Almost still in a daze, he nodded and peered at them. By the looks of it, two of the pups looked identical in appearance. Twins. A boy and a girl. He rested his head over Faite's back as he reached towards the look alike babies, gently licking the smaller one. "I think Kairi...for this one..." He grinned. "Riri for short. Has a nice ring to it." |
