Redhawk Caldera On the merry-go-round that we call life

for @Chickadee but puppies are welcome as well!! Backdated however much

Despite silently (and not so silently) hoping for only two children this year, Maia couldn’t dream of being any happier. It was the same every time. @Eljay kept them fed, alongside the rest of the pack, and Maia rarely left at this point. It was too early.

@Callahan, @Frolic, and @Glee. The girls were rambunctious as their names suggested and Callahan reminded her so much of both Jay and Aiden. She wondered if he would grow up serious or carefree, and then quietly spent a moment hoping her oldest from the previous year was safe and happy out there. She missed him just as much as she missed the others.

Maia smiled, distracted as Glee began to climb Mount Brother just as Frolic began to (again) make a slow break for the den entrance. Not yet, sweetheart. And Glee, your brother isn’t a ladder. She picked them up and settled them next to her again patiently. It might last a few moments before they got restless.
