I hope you dance!

If Poem hadn’t been eager to have children before this point she was now. She tried not to look too closely as her younger siblings were born into the world. Averting her eyes didn’t help the smells and sound of birth. Thankfully she wasn’t the one with the attention so she leaned back and waited until everything was over. When she looked back to Samara’s belly she couldn’t ignore all the blood marring the scene and she shivered lightly as she shoved away the thought and focused on the tiny bundles nestled tightly against their mother.

”You want us to name them?” Poem squeaked, doing poorly at hiding her emotions. Through it all she felt the touching sentiment. Rhyme nodded and gestured to the first puppy. He was a little quieter in his arrival, but Poem couldn’t begin to think of a good name under all of this pressure. ”Uh…” Her brows knit, but as she was about to pass up the opportunity the perfect name popped into her head. ”Haiku.” The word was confident and as she said it a flaring of love and pride in these squirming little siblings bloomed within her.
