The future we made

Tamsyn couldn't help but laugh when Kane mentioned how bringing their babies into battle had been the thing that made them want to fight the world. "Well, if they want to be little fighters then I'm more than happy to let them be," she commented with a loving smile as she looked down to watch Kane's paw moving over her round stomach. She remembered all too well being the feisty pup that was hungry to learn and eager to fight, but everything she wanted went against the grain of what was expected of her. Her spirit had been beaten out of her and broken. It was actually kind of amusing to her sometimes how much pressure she put on herself to be a good mother when she had the parents she had to compare to. Next to them she felt like she felt like there was no contest, but she only wanted the best for all of her children. She wanted them to grow and thrive and enjoy all of the things they were passionate about. Her oldest had been forced into so many hardships and she blamed herself for that far more than she should since most of it was entirely out of her control, but all in all she felt like they grew to be wonderful young adults and she hoped she could do the same again for these little wild ones.

She listened curiously to Kane's explanation of the name she suggested after she offered "of the sea" to him, smiling while he spoke of his tribe and how popular yet rare the name was. She was surprised to hear that they were never near the sea for long which made the name rare, but she supposed if they traveled as much as they seemed to it made sense. She enjoyed the meaning behind the sea for them and what it represented, thinking to herself for the hundredth time how beautiful his tribe made every aspect of nature seem. She glanced down at her stomach where their pups had begun to settle down again and she couldn't think of anything that she could possibly want more for them than a world of opportunities and adventures. Tam looked back up to Kane as he leaned into her, returning his kiss with a happy hum. Her mint gaze found his hazel eyes again as their kiss broke and he asked her if the name called to her heart. She considered it for a moment longer before giving him a nod, saying, "I think so. It feels fitting for our little miracles that are going to grow up living out in nature to have a name that embodies an endless horizon and adventure." She smiled happily, giving him another sweet kiss while her tail wagged and gently thumped against the ground behind her. "You've made me the happiest lady in the world as well, my love. I love you more than I could ever say."
