She watched them closely, her baby boy and girl, now cleaned and warm and situated at her stomach in the hopes they would feed and rest after their birth. Heaven knew Tahlia was ready for the rest despite the smile that remained firmly in place and the happy tears that had quietly begun to leak from her dark gold eyes. They were positively lovely! All the effort, all the trouble they had caused her, these unexpected miracles, was worth it. Her tired gaze shifted from her son, who nestled close beside her feeding, to her daughter who had begun to wander away as if drawn to her father's presence. He was patient, speaking a single word before he guided her back to her brother, and it took a moment for Tahlia to understand that he had been speaking a name, a name for their son. Kailos. Yes. That did have a nice, strong sound to it. And the girl? "Lior," she whispered through her exhaustion, reaching toward them to kiss each child gently as they began to rest.

She could hardly believe with all their bad luck that they had been blessed in this manner with two more children, though she was secretly glad to have such young ones to care for again. Anais and Jakart were nearly a year now, so grown and independent, and Nako had been the same since he had come to live with them. Anais. Jakart. Nako. They would want to know of this. They should be told of their new siblings. But she was already having trouble keeping her eyes open, and watching the pups, now asleep, only made her more inclined to do the same. "They will love you too," she assured little Kailos and Lior, at last setting her head down to sleep herself.
