() Female bathed each pup once again, though no need was called for- she indulged in the bliss of motherhood. She had four healthy and stable pups, and while they would know no father- they would grow up in a safe and protected heaven. She cleaned the closed eyes and tiny ears of each pup with a certain pride floating in the air about her. Her white coat had been slightly neglected since the arrival of the new, but she didn’t mind. She now had the duty of motherhood and ruler ship to deal with, but somehow she knew she’d manage. Her head was drawn back to gaze upon the pups with amber orbs. Names! Oh my! In the heat of all that had happened and taken place, she had neglected to name the gifts from above. Wide smile spread her muzzle, is fell again as soon as it had shown. This should be the happiest moment of her life, but she couldn’t enjoy it because the one she loved was dead. The naming of newborns was a parenting thing. Both parents debated and considered what the pups would forever grow up to be called. Stomach churning and twisting, she closed her eyes to squeeze a single tear from her lids. Tear trickling down her cheek she gasped sharply. The first and oldest female reminded the lonely female so much of her beloved Khastin. Breath caught in her chest, she pondered the perfect name for this bundle that had cost her so much. Many names slipped around in her head, but only one slipped past her lips. ‘Astra, I shall call you Astra- my darling’ She was still debating whither she was crying from joy or the emptiness her mate had left when she uttered a second name, this one pinning to the dark hued male- still slightly wet from his last bath. Dage would be this male’s name...and he’d grow to be just as wonderful as his father. The mother’s eyes roamed to the third pup that was farthest from her, but safely tucked within her colorless tail. This alabaster male would be dubbed Turbulence for she suspected him of being the pup that had kicked the most when in the womb. Smile was presented again as she began naming them all. It was almost as if Khastin was there with her even though he couldn’t be. She would miss him, but she would be strong for her family and pack. She had to be. Eyes searched for the fourth and finally pup, but found that a forth couldn’t be found. With a start, she was bolt upright upon strong but shaking pillars. While she was in thought, it seemed the fourth had disappeared. With a careful and watchful eye on the rest of them, she roamed the small den in search of the littlest pup. Where had that female gotten too? Sticking her head from the den’s mouth, she turned back inside. There wasn’t anyway that pup could have gotten that far out so quickly. Has someone stolen her? Othoe maybe??? Yelp was emitted at the thought. Had someone attempted to lure her from the den to give them selves’ time to get the rest of the pups? Worried sick, she regretted not having a mate to help her search. But as she doubled back to the hole in the rear of the den, she spotted a second white tail on the alabaster male. Pausing mid-stepped she marveled at this. A pup with two tails? Never in her life time...no wait, that wasn’t his tail... The mother ventured forward to the beckoning calls of the now roused pups. Carefully scooping the white male, she discovered he had taken rest upon his sister. Placing him a few inches over, she laughed softly and licked the unnamed pup to ensure she was alright. With a grin she deduced she was in perfect health along with all the others. ‘And you, my youngest daughter- I shall call you Cerus.’ The pups settled back together for yet another nap as the mother turned back to fetch the rabbit that had been left for her. Silvia dripping as she ate, she watched her family closely; her first family; her only family. Astra, Dage, Turbulence, Cerus, and Enchancée- the royal family- It sounded good, but it would have sounded better if Khastin had been included. ()
