He was glad she was tending to their new daughter. He'd heard of mothers rejecting their young, especially if they were scared of giving birth. But she took to it like a duck to water. Nursing without hesitation. His heart fluttered to see the joy in her eyes.
They'd come so far since he'd found her.
He could only watch as pain pulled her back, another one was coming. He was still unsure if she wanted him close or far, so he sat rooted to the spot, just watching silently. She was so strong, so brave. She needn't come alone.
He felt it now that adrenaline was wearing off. The throbbing on his muzzle, the blood in his mouth. She'd ripped his lip accidentally. He licked at it, whining softly. He wouldn't trouble her with it - it wasn't that bad. The small triangle of flesh wouldn't be missed.
She pushed hard and birthed a dark bean, a boy. He looked so much like Grezig - and himself he supposed since they were practically the same. Just darker. He shuffled forward a little, laying down and stretching out towards them. His tail wagging behind him. He wanted to go to them but he wanted to give her the space. Again she pushed and right on top of the second came a third. He lifted his head, ears pricked and head cocked. This one was a creamy white; Arlette's lookalike. She reached up to clean them and name them. Tumeric for his look-a-like, and Thyme for his counterpart.
Derg stood, drifting over with awe on his face. She'd done it. She cradled their children, cleaning Thyme and nursing his darker siblings. He was speechless. "I love them so much," he looked to her soft red eyes, "I love you." He slowly leaned in, letting Arlette control how he greeted Thyme, mewling in her forelegs, struggling to climb over her leg to reach Tumeric and Mulberry. He loved them so much...
Derg gently nudged Thyme over her leg, letting him scoot the best he could in his little bean body. He wasn't sure how to pick them up yet so he though it best to leave that to Arlette for now. Derg sat down before his family. "Do you need anything?"
