(240) I hope Coli counts as a friend... and that this isn't too late to the party. ^^;;
Colibri lingered shyly in the doorway, relieved that everything had gone well, but still hesitant to enter the chamber. It seemed like such an intimate moment. Generations of family and their dearest friends, welcoming three new souls into their lives... it was beautiful, and yet she could feel something constricting in her chest. Anu was there, but she dared not intrude on the happy scene. She... she was envious. Puppies made her heart melt, she always wanted to be a mommy, and... Anu did too. They hadn't spoken much on the subject, though, because it was sort of... delicate. Nature hadn't given the loving couple a way to bear their own young, after all. Savina and Kansas had to be the luckiest mates in the world, to be this in love after all this time, and having their second litter...
She edged closer, still hugging the doorframe close to her chest, trying to catch a glimpse of the newborns. They were so utterly tiny! She had never seen children so young, so fragile; they almost didn't look like wolves at all! Coli couldn't help but smile at the little things, nuzzling up to their mother's belly. Maybe... maybe someday, she'd be this lucky, to know this sort of happiness. Her eyes wandered to Anu, the gentle woman alongside the daughter she'd raised as her own. Was she simply happy for her old friend, or was she thinking the same thing?
