Light filtered softly into the windows of their room. The chill of the air was beginning to penetrate the house and the mates were snuggled close together in their bed. Haven was already awake, but he hadn't moved to get up and start his day yet. Idly his fingers tangled themselves in the curls of Princess' hair. Ever since the morning that Heath and Ruri's pups had been born, he hadn't been able to get the image of pups out of his head. They were the babes that belonged to his two good friends though, they were what he imagined his and Princess' children would look like.
When his mother had asked him those months ago about being a grandmother he had been embarrassed and felt he was far too young to be even thinking about having kids of his own. In such a short time, those thoughts had seemed to change. Maybe it was seeing those he was close to, and were much closer to his own age, start their families that made it feel more plausible. Whatever it was though, the Knight knew that that was what he wanted for him and Princess, he just didn't know if she wanted that too. They had never really talked about it and until now he hadn't known how to breach the topic. Now that their friend's pups were here though, and they had both witnessed it, he felt he had a good enough reason to open up the conversation.
Haven's arms carefully circled around his love's small waist and pulled her close, his nose burying itself in the tangle of her mane and breathing deep her scent. "Are you awake yet, love?" he asked as softly as his deep voice would allow. Part of him wanted to wake her up if she wasn't already, but he didn't want to be obnoxious about it. Even if he was incredibly anxious to talk to her about the possibility of them starting their own little family he was content to lay here and hold her. He doubted he would ever tire of that.
