Silver Creek Baby it’s cold outside

She seemed to enjoy his words to the children and he smiled sheepishly at her. It was strange, to think that eventually there would be little beings who would not have existed without him and Spring. Her words made perfect sense to him, and pulled him out of the fuzzy place he seemed to be going to constantly. His mind was pulling him to thoughts of how amazing this was, how he had created things, life(!), at every idle second it got.

"Makes perfect sense to me." He hadn't ever before considered the Creek a hazard and he opened his mouth to protest right before she stated why she didn't want the den near the Creek itself. It stilled him and he felt a sudden sense of fear strike through him at the thought of a small child tumbling headfirst into the water and swept away. He swallowed thickly, looking at her with a slightly frightened expression. "I never thought of that, it being a hazard. You're right. We should find a place safe from it, a good distance away really."

He, of course, had been through the heart of the Creek but he'd never done so looking for a place to raise children. He hadn't the faintest idea of where to begin, and was suddenly wondering about all the other hazards to young life that he hadn't considered. "You lead the way, Spring. I'll dig it whereever you want it. Straight into the rock if I need to. Though I can't promise I'll have paws left after." He joked, but his intentions were serious. He'd put the den wherever she wanted, he'd make it safe as possible for his children and for her.
