Loving can hurt

speech,





Oh everything about this was unconventional. Nothing was normal, but she didn't care. She padded through the mile-high woods, moving slowly thanks to her large stomach. She knew it wouldn't be long now before her children would arrive, but there was something she needed to do first. It wouldn't be the huge public display that her and Veruex's union had been, but it would be just as special to her. At some point, perhaps after the pups were born, she knew she would need to thank him in some way for being so forgiving and accepting of all of this. He had done more for her than she ever could have imagined and he deserved to be thanked in some way. But, for now, she focused on the plan at hand. She had taken the time this morning to clean up her fur the best she could and made her bangles shine, wanting to look her best for this. For Amalia.

She had told Vereux about it before hand, wanting to make sure it was okay with him before she called them both. She found the perfect clearing in the middle of the woods, the snow perfectly smooth and the gnarled trees around her making the clearing look like a separate world. She sighed to calm the little bit of nerves she was feeling before lifting her head and letting out a howl, calling both her husband and her lover. What a strange thing to do. She let the call echo into nothing and she settled herself on her haunches a smile on her muzzle while she waited for them to arrive, so excited to officially bring Amalia into her world.
