Along Shores of Gold

It had only made Alpine happier when Twig had preferred to sleep beneath the open skies, despite the warm den they had procured and readied for their children. They slept with the lapping sounds of waves as their music, and the soft kiss of the wind as their company, and he did not feel lonely for a single second, in fact, he had never felt more surrounded with love and happiness then he did on this island. This was their paradise, their happiness and he was astounded that they had found it, that they could find such freedom.

He was on such a trip now, and returned with a plump rabbit in his jaws as he made his way to her form. She seemed utterly relaxed in the soft shade and he stood back a moment to admire to, to the bulge in her stomach that spoke of family and great things to come, to the smile that adorned her face more and more these past few days.



He approached on soft paws, placing himself at her head as he gently put the rabbit on the ground beside her and took a seat himself, his hips brushing against her head and his tail curled behind him as he looked down at the love of his life. ?Quite comfortable?? he teased.
