He followed her silently, unable to stop from reaching over and nuzzling her anytime her shoulder brushed his. He was happier than he had ever been, and now she was giving him another gift. 

They arrived at a meadow, and Tuulu could tell work was being done. It seemed as though someone had been busy, and he wondered why he had not been asked to help. But when Lane began to tell him of the purpose of this place, he understood. He thought the place was perfect

They moved next to a hill where he could tell dens were being made. His wife explained that each mother would make their own den and that the children would be raised communally, like a big family. Tuulu loved the idea; he could picture his nieces and nephews here and then couldn't help imagining what it would be like to for his and Lane's children to be raised with them. 

When she led him to one den in particular, he was confused at first but he waited for her to continue. And then she told him it was for their children. His eyes widened and a smile spread across his face. Our children? he asked. She wanted to have pups with him. His heart felt like it might explode. He pulled her close and kissed her face. Lane, he whispered. It is a perfect gift. He knew she had not been sure before, but now she was sure she wanted more children with him. He felt like the luckiest man in the world.
