Redhawk Caldera And the two of us went up in smoke

Surprise thread! Whenever you have time, love. <3 @Finley

Fox had asked him about it; so had Peregrine. But it wasn't until the words crossed Eljay's lips that Elwood really started to think about having another litter with Finley. That conversation with his son had showed him that it would be more than just bringing additional puppies into the world -- it would be an important experience for their first-born child, and also an opportunity for the Beta pair to have a, well...normal parenting experience.

He and Finley had been like ships passing in the night recently; there was nothing wrong, but they hadn't spent an excess amount of time together. They were both preparing for Fox's upcoming birth, which just made the timing for this conversation even more perfect. Returning from a short patrol, Elwood tipped his nose up and called for his mate, feeling a bit nervous even as his voice poured into the crisp winter air.
