Hail the Stork

He didn't think he'd ever seen her this excited, not even when they'd first become mates. She was beginning to become like Asheni, barreling into him almost like she did. It was odd but he certainly wasn't going to complain. He'd grown to love the warrior-like female along with a few other members of Glaciem. He now had a better sense of family thanks to them. It was amazing how far he had come in the years. She licked his nose and a soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips. His gaze was warm as he gave her a soft lick to the chin. He still had yet to figure out what had her so hyped up and jubilant. His tailed waved softly behind him but he stiffened as the worlds flew from her mouth in a flurry. His heart felt like it was leaping from his chest as it beat faster and his blood seemed to run cold. He didn't even bother trying to speak knowing he'd get flustered and just stumble over his words. It was beyond shocking. Sure they'd mated many times since the first time to at least try to ensure they would have kids, but he didn't expect it to really happen. She had exited her prime and he himself was getting on up there. Hell, he had just turned seven in the past winter. But she'd really felt them move? This was a definite thing? He was going to be a father? It was a bit much to take in and he was having problems trying to comprehend it all. He'd never once thought that in all his years of living that he'd have a child. Thistle had made him void of any thoughts of a mate or kids, and later on in life it hadn't seemed like anything would change. Now he had a mate and a litter on the way! Cifer's legs turned to jelly so the male let his hind legs drop as he sat back in the grass speechless. He didn't come to his senses until she began going on about telling Asheni, Gargoyle, and her, no their two adopted kids. He closed his jaw, not realizing it'd been opened, and then regained his composure some. He nodded in agreement before exclaiming, "Holy cow.... we're gonna be parents...." |
