Reach out and touch

She felt the tightness of her wife's body curling around her, and the amount of strength and comfort it brought her. She couldn't help but feel so amazed and shocked by this woman, this woman that was all hers. When the grey lady spoke her red ears quivered, pulling forward to try and pick up every single word. A few tears fell, unable to stop them at the kindness in Athena's voice. The tiny girl flinched slightly at her wife poking fun at her pushing herself so hard to the point of sickness, but otherwise reached over to press an adoring kiss on her cheek. "I... I guess I always knew that. But I would have thought that part of you didn't like me for working so hard. I mean I pretty much pushed us apart, and the boys..." she choked on her words, having to stop and swallow hard, "I feel like I have missed so much of their lives. I mean it seems like they all have girlfriends now! Which you know, is not allowed. Nope. Our boys are not allowed to like girls yet." Her voice grew higher in pitch as her head shook frantically. They were growing up way too fast, and it wasn't allowed. She was going to shove them all into a den and lock them in.

Snapped back into place by Athena's soft nuzzle, she leaned into the touch. More kind words were spared for her, blue eyes growing damp again. "Oh Athena, I do it all for you, all for our family. You have to know that. Its never been for myself. The reason why I push myself so hard is the nagging fear that something is going to happen to you or the boys. I want to be able to stop it, even when we are old woman." She said with a soft giggle, reaching up to tug lightly on her gray cheek. Amalia stayed still as the larger woman shifted, wrapping her up in a bit hug. A delicate sigh left her pint sized frame, eyes closing and she just let herself be surrounded in her wife's warmth. This is all she truly needed in life, her very life blood was in this den. The scent of their boys was still lingering as well, making Athena's last words even more sweet. It was hard for her to not feel guilty for being away, maybe she was in denial about everyone getting older. Slowly blinking her eyes open, her neck stretched upwards as she fought to capture the woman's two toned gaze. There had been something on her mind for quite awhile, something that she had yet to share with her love. "I... I want more babies, Athena. I know we have our boys and their... friends," much emphasis was placed on that word, "but I want little ones that look like me too. But the thought of being with anyone else but you..." Amalia broke off, the shutter that shook her cutting off all words.
