Which Isn't a Lot, But it's Weird That it Happened Twice

Sparrow waited for her wife to appear, checking the new littles for their own solidity in this place. Recluse arrived and Sparrow gave her all the time in the world. There were a lot of emotions for her. Sparrow had never been as maternal as almost anyone else she'd ever known, but she knew what these pups meant to her and Recluse, and the loaded feelings that came with their situation. After a while, Recluse looked to Sparrow, calling their kids gorgeous. Sparrow kissed her wife, "They must take after you, then."

After another few kisses, Sparrow turned her attention to the bundles at her side, "I haven't named them yet. I thought... I'm a pirate, you're my solid land. These pups are everything in the middle, so what if we named them like that- places where water and land meet?" She was nervous at revealing the touchy feely reason behind the pup's possible names, but thought Recluse might just like it.
