Lift Me Up, Let Me Go

Silence fell between them, both wolves completely still and only the subtle sounds of the lazing river beyond could be heard. Barely breathing both were lost in their own thoughts as tension built between them. Indigo didn’t know what else she wanted from him, she knew that this wasn’t what he wanted right now. He hadn’t even outright denied her, he had just wanted a little time.

Sapphire eyes watched the water as she stepped away, then spoke exactly what he didn’t know. What were they going to do? He sighed softly, to him there was no choice really, they were about to become parents together. Indigo never met a moment when he was truly afraid but he felt like he was facing that mountain now. He was terrified. "We raise them.” There was no hesitation in his voice, the path was clear but so difficult to follow.

Indigo couldn’t let his eyes fall to her as he lifted himself to his dark paws. His attention seemed to be on the river's fast moving water but it couldn’t have been farther away. "Duchess.” His voice still serious he regretted starting speaking before the words left his mouth. "Was this an accident?” That was when he returned his gaze to her, hoping to be able to keep his trust in her, but doubt clouded his mind.
