Broken Antler Fen Proud dad moments.

@Benjamin and all the other kids of course! <3 @Ivy @Nova @Mato

Sebastian was usually found around the den. He had given others the task to patrol the borders. He figured there wouldn't be that much trouble, they would usually stay around that range. Just a quiet home for him and his family. Sebastian was excited. They seemed to be really active, just like they were in Pearl's belly. The father couldn't help but watch then with so much love.

Still he did wish they could do more already. He couldn't wait to have cool dad moments with them were he would teach them things and have cool adventures. He would be the best dad ever, a dad he didn't have himself. Sebastian very carefully laid down, his body was big and he didn't want to accidentally sit on one of them. He was extra careful around them, especially when lowering his body.

He was a very watchful dad, ready to help out any of them if they needed him. Otherwise he would just watch them crawl or nap. He was also not dirty of giving them a good bath if needed.

Blind and deaf, there was not much to do for chubby Ben. The only exciting thing for him was waking up to drink milk - the delicious milk of mama. He loved cuddling too, with his siblings and anyone near enough to touch. The cuddling and sometimes even licking was not a display of dominance, but one of pure, sweet puppy love. He loved the soft little blobs, he loved the big blob that gave him milk and he even loved the even bigger blob that he could often feel around too.

Today Benjamin was awakened by a kick in his belly. He chewed some air sleepily, big puppy head "looking around" without seeing anything. A squeal left his throat and he wiggled around for a bit.

When one of his kids let out a squeak the male lifted his head and nosed over all of them. He realized that it was Ben who lifted his head. The male licked carefully over the little blob to calm him. It seemed that he was a bit unsettled. Sebastian wasn't an experienced dad but he tried where he could. "There there," he hummed softly. He had to smile at his cute face that was lifted in the air. He couldn't wait till they were more mobile.

Unsettled, he wasn't, just a little... well, let's say he was not an early bird. He wanted to sleep, and often that went really well, but just as he had the best dream about nothing did he have to be awakened. Still, he did not fault anyone for it. If they wanted him awake, he'd do it. He almost purred as a wet, rough but at the same time really gentle thing stroke over him. He squealed again, perhaps to get the same reaction from the thing.

Sebastian smiled when the pup was smart enough to let out another squeal. The male gently picked his son up and placed him between his paws. The pup being light of coat meant that Sebastian could give him more showers. The little one seemed to enjoy it so who was he to stop him. The big grey male was really caring for his children. He wouldn't mind liking clean their bodies.

He felt like a super hero when dad picked him up, and almost without thinking he put one tiny paw in front of the other like Superman before landing between two soft legs. Oooho, it was nice and warm here. He snuggled his big head against the paws, the hairs there tickling in a nice way. He satisfied an itch with it, and relaxed under the care of his father. He liked this treatment! He wiggled himself unto his back so father could lick his less hairy belly, and that tickled even more than the cuddling! He made sounds that could be both laughing and crying at the same time.

Sebastian had to chuckle at how cute his son was. The male licked over his coat and tried to get the biggest patches out of it. Then the little pup turn over by himself which gave him an opportunity to lick his belly and blow hot air over it. He grinned when he could hear hints of a giggle. He hoped it was though. He would probably know if the pup didn't like it by louder protesting. They were so cute. Sebastian loved them all. He nosed through the soft poofy fur of the little potato. He would definitely have his thick coat, perhaps his size too.

The first ticklish teases were softly becoming more passionate, it seemed, and Benjamin finally shut his tiny mouth to relax in his father's embrace. If life consisted of only this, he would be fine with it. Of course, he did not know that he would grow up to be massive - probably too big for his father to hold him like this. But, for now, he found this treatment so relaxing that he softly but surely dozed off into a deep sleep.

Sebastian hummed happily when the little one fell a sleep from the rubbings of his tongue. What a cutie he was, and now he was all clean too. Sebastian quirked up his lips and laid his head beside him. He couldn't wait to do more exciting things with his children. Take them on adventures and swimming lessons. Explain them about life. Sebastian loved it. He quirked up his lips and snuggled the others close.
