Hold My Hand I'll Walk With You [sokee babies]

The sound of the morning's summer bird song would gently lull her from sleep. Bicolored gaze would drift open as she slowly awoke from her slumber. Blinking she would clear her eyes to find her brood sleeping soundly at her side. All of them seemed so healthy at birth, but as time continued it would become obvious that Descant would need a bit of help growing up. The boy had yet to make a sound, and she had seen him awake only but a handful of times since they'd been born. He worried her, but she didn't want to hold back the others another day for him. Dutiron had escaped at least once already, which would tell her the time had come and passed when she would have them all to herself. It was time to give them up to the world around them.?

Cherokee hasn't checked in with them in so long, she was beginning to grow worried about her husband. She wondered if he would be their for their first time out.

Either he was working so hard to protect them that he could not even see them or... Well she didn't want to think of or. As soon as the perimeter was established as safe the woman would call her children to her, their (mostly) first time seeing the outside world, "Come along, sweets, the sun beckons." the sun was just coming over the tree tops as her haunches coiled beneath her, blue and hold gaze watching the entrance of the den waiting on their appearance.?
