We Heard November Rain

Yay! <3
Wc: 605

It had turned out okay. Everything had turned out okay, in the end. She didn't dare to hope so, for their lives were still early yet, but Ghita could almost imagine that her troublesome experiences with childbirth had finally been put behind her. Her dusty brown-and-silver pelt rose and spring as she lay on the bed, her head lying on a comfortable pelt Jazper had found for her, in her optime form as three small bundles of joy clung to her belly in a heap of tired forms. At just 3 weeks, Ghita had already weaned them off of her milk (and all for the better, since three pups were beginning to tire her), and they had taken with glee to the wonders of regurgitated meat, something that the fae had thought was disgusting at first - but of course, it was for both litters of children, and she'd provided for them almost without thinking about it.

It was now that their personalities and appearances were developing at a rapid pace, although one couldn't tell from their sleeping bodies. Tony, the largest of the three with his chocolate brown-and-white pelt lay on the top, half on Fia and half on Lorenzo, while Fia's nose was stuck between Lorenzo's forepaws, and the aforementioned boy had somehow fallen asleep with his bottom pointing to the sky. All of their eyes were light blue at this point, highlighting each child's pelt in an astonishing manner, but Ghita didn't expect that to last - already their eyes were beginning to muddle with colours. Positioning her nose onto her mound of puppies, the ebony appendage rested gently on the bodies, feeling all three chests rise and spring rapidly, accompanied by the occasional twitching and yipping that came with dreams. Was Ghita sleep deprived? Definitely. But she wouldn't trade these moments for the world, the peace slinking in through the cracks of her life.

Nevertheless, it couldn't last forever. A scratching on the door caused the fae's ears to rise in alarm, leaving the puppies sound asleep, before her sister's scent wafted in and calmed Ghita's fur. Trying to awkwardly shuffle around her sleeping babies didn't work too well, as her movement caused Lorenzo to spring on Fia, waking the girl up with an astonished 'yip!', which in turn caused Toby to bolt for the high seas, waking Lorenzo up as well. Smiling at the domino affect, she swung her frame over the edge of the bed, taking advantage of the fact that her children were still disentangling themselves from each other, and limped lightly towards the door, the pain in her leg becoming less and less each day. Quickly pulling the handle open, she let her Lupus sister in just as Fia scampered to the edge of the bed, seemingly about to hurl her white-and-white-accented body to the floor to greet this stranger. Moving with the instinct of a mother with troublesome puppies, Ghita scooped her youngest into her slender paw, gathering Tony and Lorenzo up into her other arm before sitting back onto the bed, trying to hold onto her squirming puppies. Yips and babbles could be heard from each of them, baby blue eyes wide open in outrage at this intruder, just waiting to investigate with all the energy in the world, despite their nap just moments before. "E 'bello vederti, Savina Per favore, vieni su!" Patting the bed with her tail (due to the puppies in her arms) the fae's turquoise orbs sparkled with the joy that could be read from miles away, along with the pride of three healthy, happy, puppies. "Ci sono alcune persone che piacerebbe conoscerla."
