That Damn Stork

She didn’t hesitate to nuzzle into the pups at her belly, though she couldn’t provide the sustenence they obviously needed. That was a problem she wasn’t sure how to overcome. She tried to nuzzle them softly, with a few comforting kisses as she tried to get them to settle. Rhythm listened as Valentine named them, and she gentle nuzzled each one in turn, memorizing their scent with their names. They didn’t have a mother, and she would do everything in her power to fill that role for them.

She kissed each one again, bumping into Lefty gently as she did so. The skunk had a musk to her, but even with Rhythm’s sensitive nose it was tolerable. ”Shh, sweet ones quiet. We will fill your bellies soon.” She soothed them, though she couldn’t fault their protests. ”Definitely Imperialis.” She cooed softly, a genuine smile playing on her lips as she let herself become immersed with their tiny forms. She was already falling in love.
