She was asleep finally, nestled into his side with her head laying across her paws instead of draped across his shoulders like she normally did. But now there was another. A single tiny form nestled easily into the woman's stomach. A beautiful black and grey speckled little thing. Beautiful in its natural innocence and for a long time he didn't wish to join them in their slumber. Neck would crane so massive skull could rest tenderly over Cat's grey back, verdant eyes focused on the tiny curled up form that slumbered so easily. He would do better this time. He wanted to be there for everything. When she first opened her eyes, her first steps, first words... Everything... Those would be the thoughts that he drifted away with. He would do better this time. It was a silent promise to his daughter and the mother of his child. Eyes would grow heave and breathing took on a slower more rhythmic tone. Sleep settled over him like a warm blanket being wrapped around him. He couldn't remember another time he had been this happy. Do when the peaceful darkness of slumber began to shimmer and shake, flaking and chipping to reveal a new scene his dream self couldn't help but sigh. Redwood Forest.. He knew this exact place all too well. It was where his first litter had been born. Why would he dream of here? WORDS HERE |
