the rest of our lives

Being a mother so far had been taxing -- but much more rewarding. At first, her children had been blind and dumb, hardly able to move at all and certainly didn't understand the world. Over the course of a month, they had changed rather drastically, into three distinct creatures, all of whom had their own personalities, their likes and dislikes, their own feelings and thoughts and opinions. It was beautiful -- so beautiful -- and she wouldn't wait to see them continue to grow and become fully themselves. Today was a typical day thus far, until her husband returned and ducked inside the den with a grin. "Glad you decided to join us," she teased, nudging his neck gently. Leaning toward her, he offered a suggestion -- taking them out of the den for the first time. Certainly a wonderful suggestion! Her own smile grew, and she rolled over onto her belly, taking care to not roll onto her three children. They would certainly change as they begun to realize their roles in the pack; they knew they were the children of the King and Queen, and what this meant, but they likely wouldn't comprehend it until they began to meet other wolves and interact with them. How would it change them, she wondered? It was a necessary thing, and though part of her longed to protect them from the world forever, she knew it was about time. She tilted her head downward, at the babes resting beside her, nudging each of them gently. "What do you think? Ready to go see the big wide world?" She inquired softly, placing kisses on each of their little heads. If any of them argued, she would oblige their wishes -- for now. But it would have to happen sooner or later. Excited gaze drifted to Maverick, adoration and happiness shining in those sapphire orbs. |
