Sorry, darling. :c 317 words.
The dog mutt had been preparing for this for some time now, as he had not known when, exactly, to expect their impending litter. Unlike some members of the pack, he was not good with dates, though he had been doing his best to count the days in hopes of knowing when they would expect the puppies to come. It had reached that point in time when he knew that they could be here any day now. The King had been spending most of his time close to the house in preparation, and he knew that the borders would still be well-protected. The pack had never really had much trouble as it was, and though he knew that Haven was spending his time taking care of the expecting Princess, he also knew that the Knight would not neglect his duties, and there were also many other members of the pack who took up the duty of border patrol. He was not terribly worried.
Vigilante's main focus was making sure that he was available to Ayita at all times. Though he was not inside the house when she spoke for him, the caramel-colored dog heard her voice, dark ears turning toward the sound. He moved with urgency, bulky and muscular secui form running at a brisk speed. It was only minutes before he was in the house, having left the back door open slightly so that he could pass in and out of the house with ease. The sounds of Ayita moving around came from the living room, so he entered quietly, coming to her side and nuzzling beneath her muzzle. "I'm here, darling. Do you want me to light a fire? Do you need anything?" The mixed canine wanted to do everything that he could to make things easier for his mate and their soon to arrive puppies. He was both nervous and excited for their arrival.
