a new beginning

A father. What would the children look like? How would they respond to him? Ritsuka would wag his tail, his eyes shining so very happily. All that mattered right now was their children, their beautiful children. Someday she would challenge for a home for them, and Suka would support her, but right now it was their time together. He would press his head against her neck as well, closing his eyes. This moment was a beautiful moment, a moment to be treasured. The hardships in his life were easing up, and his reward for his efforts was a family of his own. If only he would stand to be a great father, as his old man had been.

“Is this where you want them to be? Here in the north?” Ritsuka would ask gently. “If you feel we need to get them to a temporary home... Wherever you want to go... I’ll be with you, Elli. I want them to be safe, and you too. Wherever you are happiest...” The male would whisper to her softly.
