What Is Life For, If Not For Joy?
The time of their children was nearing. ?owyn had grown round and in this state Birch still saw her as nothing short of beautiful, if not more so. What would their children be like? How would they look and act? He was beyond excited, almost always bouncing or wagging his tail back and forth even if he couldn't show his happiness in other ways. If his beloved grew tired of being pregnant, which he could only guess so, he found it amazing that she could put up with him in this condition. Any day now ?owyn could give birth and Birch was working harder than ever to make sure that it went smoothly.
He was actually speaking with Ellis when he heard his mate cry out, the call startling him into movement. He would rush from Ellis' den without a second thought, certain that the femme would travel along after him in just a few moments. It... it was time. He was certain. The second call for Ellis confirmed it, one that would ring out just as Birch rushed into the den.
He could smell her fear. He was nervous as well, but he wouldn't allow dark thoughts to creep into his mind. No. He had to be strong for ?owyn and for his soon to be born children. The male would rasp his tongue between his beloved's ears, speaking in a soothing voice. "It's alright my love, shh, I am here. Ellis will be along in a moment too." The male would stay close, though he remained standing should Ellis need his help for anything when she arrived. "It's going to be alright. Before you know it we're going to have our family." Words of encouragement, spoken with a soft sureness.
