I'll be right beside you, dear

She would feel the sadness pour off of her in waves, the utter loss would have consumed her had Alpine not been there for her. They would give a last look upon the tiny grave, her heart would hurt for the want of her child. It felt obvious though that she was healing, that she could feel she was healing. Something she hadn't believed in at one point, but again thanks to Alpine she had found her light once more. Fern was not her only reason to live, but she gave her much reason to mourn. She would sigh as Alpine's gentle words would nudge her back to the den. Looking away from Fern her orchid gaze would befall his features. She would find herself nuzzling him as she felt more tears try to slip from her reddened eyes. She would allow him to lead her away, "Will you stay until I fall back asleep?" though they hadn't even moved yet, she felt she needed to know. Would she be alone in the shared den again, or would he lay with her and help her get to sleep.?
