And then she waddled away, waddle, waddle...
Any pack member & Ulric <3

Much in the same way Resin had been working to complete the den she would share with Tamsyn, Ulric had been doing the same for him and Azariah. He was doing his very best to get it ready in time for their pups to arrive, but he knew he was quickly running out of time. It was going to be any day now and their pups would be here and it was hard to focus on his work when all he wanted to do was spend every waking moment caring for Azariah and making sure that they had everything in place for their family to be. So far he had dug out the den to be large enough for the two of them and what seemed to be a large litter of pups. He had been sure to create more space than was maybe necessary just from the assumption that at least one of the pups might be as large as him and he wanted to make sure that they had space to grow into. He had let Azariah help here and there just with the easier bits of the construction, but once it got to some more heavy lifting he absolutely refused to let her lift a paw. He didn't want anything putting her or their children at risk so he was happy when she picked the project of his armor back up to keep herself busy. He'd set to work finding slender saplings and supple branches to line the walls of the den with and to place a couple in the center of the large chamber as a support for the ceiling of their den. It was a project he had been working on over the last couple weeks since he would go out to find the branches he needed in-between pack duties, but now he was almost done. He was carrying several decently long branches as he trotted back toward the den and he felt fairly certain that it would be enough to finish the walls at long last. He wasn't going to be able to do the clay lining that Resin had done in her den mostly just from a lack of know-how and time, but he had at least packed down the dirt pretty solidly so it was nice and flat for them. There was also a bed of grasses and furs that took up a whole side of the den so that they would all have plenty of room to lay down at might and some shelves that were built into the opposite wall which he made sure to build high enough that nosey pups wouldn't be able to get to until they were old enough to know better. When he arrived with his newest load of branches he found Azariah basking in the sun with the pieces of leather between her paws and as soon as he had the pieces of wood put down he gave her a wide, loving grin. "You're so beautiful," he told her truthfully as he came over to place a kiss on her lips. Ever since she started to show with their pups he couldn't help but think that she was just getting more and more beautiful by the day. There was just something about knowing what she was going through for them and their family that was just so amazing and the fact that she literally had their children growing inside of her left him awe struck. |
