My last post!

It is over, she thinks—hopes—and after a moment she feels nothing else. Lingering tenderness, restlessness, exhaustion keep her torn between staying awake and sleeping. A sigh escapes her lips, ears twitching upon her head as she listens to the children nursing. As Tahani steps up, nuzzling and giving her gentle kisses, the new mother closes her eyes and leans into the affection. A rumble forms in her chest but she only releases it as a low, pleased rumble. When the woman steps back and disappears out of the den, Shivali lowers her head and curls up around her little family, somehow feeling lonelier than she has before.
