Sun Mote Copse it’s not too far now, one day we’re gonna dance on the sun

Meerkat, and the two tiny lives within her, were like a bright, celestial star that their family and pack orbited around. Nyssa, Stingray, Fennec, Towhee, and Seal… Njord knew that they were blessed to have kin near. He couldn’t help but reflect on the long and tumultuous journey husband, wife, and family had been through… how each season of life presented new trials and challenges. Now, in their humble glen, a new chapter of their story was about to be written.

The delivery was textbook. Njord was never far, should Meerkat need him. When the sound of two purring bairns reached his ears, the father laid behind his wife to regard the new additions to their family: a lad and lassie – both healthy, plump like a broken can of biscuits, and braw.

“Welcome, wee ones,” Njord whispered as he nuzzled Meerkat’s cheek and felt complete serenity.
