A wave of fear swept over Talus as he crouched beside his mate's quivering form. They'd risked a brisk sprint to the shelter of a half-collapsed burrow, hoping the the dark of night would provide a veil to conceal them from predators. He'd known they shouldn't be moving so fast while Meya's belly was swollen with kits, but she'd insisted they couldn't stay in their previous shelter after hearing the haunting cry of a coyote. "Are you ok?" He whispered urgently, rasping his tongue over her forehead.
"The kits are coming."
Talus' heart sank. There couldn't have been a worse time for her to give birth. If she believed the kits were coming now, then he couldn't risk moving her again. Instead he stayed by her side soothing her fears with gentle words. And as the sun rose, he found himself facing something that'd change his life forever. His beautiful young daughter.
"You look so much like your mother, little one." He mused, craning his neck to get a better look a the small silver bundle curled at her mother's side.
"But she has your nose."
"She does."
Somehow, that small bundle of fur became the biggest victory of his life.
