Reach out and touch

Athena couldn't help but giggle when Amalia completely denied that their boys could be liking girls now. She had always faced their boy's aging with more of a realistic view than Amalia did, but she could agree that they were growing up way too fast. It was still funny to hear Ama 'nope' the idea so seriously. Hearing that all her hard work was for her and their family make Athena's gaze soften and a smile come to her muzzle. It reminded her of how hard she had worked herself to strengthen her fighting skills back when she was younger. She had wanted to be as powerful of a fighter as her mother so she could protect her whole family and that sentiment had carried on to her new family of Amalia and her sons. She truly appreciated the sentiment and wished that everyone else could see the strength that Amalia had, Amalia herself included.

Athena grinned at her comment about them being old women and nibbled playfully back at Amalia's cheek. She loved the idea of growing old together with her wife. She couldn't think of a single member of her family who hadn't gone out in a blaze of glory or vanished into thin air. Athena wanted to break that trend and leave a long, lasting history here for her wife and her children. Oh how her life had changed since she met Amalia... There had been a time when she wanted nothing more than to be a powerful warrior and a feared alpha, but now her desires and priorities were so much more centered on family and love.

After a moment of silence passed between them she felt Amalia's head shift away from her and Athena curiously lifted her head as well to peer down to find Amalia's blue gaze. She seemed to hesitate, but when she spoke her words stopped Athena cold. To hear the words that had been bouncing around in her head for months and months coming out of Amalia's mouth was both a relief and a heartbreak. "Oh Amalia..." she said softly while she tried so hard to search for the right words. "I... I want us to have babies just as badly. I've been trying to figure out how to tell you I wanted children for so long, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings..." Her ears folded back against her skull while her two-toned eyes searched her wife's. "I wish I could give you them, my love... I wish with my whole heart I could... I could give you all of the options and suggestions I've thought up, but at least one of us being with someone is just inevitable if we want children..." She tried to gage Amalia's reactions while she gently placed a kiss at the end of Amalia's nose. She couldn't resist giving her wife little affections and things while they were this close, no matter the subject of their conversations.
