Thank you for starting! 400+
The sun was shining for the first time in weeks, and Ehno could only think that it was mocking him. He had sat through plenty of gloomy, rainy days blissfully ignorant of the new developments in his life. The shy sun’s sudden appearance should be celebrated and he should greet it with a smile, but along with that burning star in the sky had come momentous news that only added to the chaos his life had become. He still couldn’t believe that he was going to be a father. He had been sitting peacefully within the Crimson Dreams borders for the last few weeks, completely unaware of the fact that Naniko was pregnant with his pups, out there in the city alone. It still seemed so unreal. He was going to be a father. It felt absurd now that he could even forget that it was a possible consequence to the actions that he and Nani had taken.
But that wasn’t what sent him into such a fretful state, with worried thoughts frantically buzzing throughout his mind. The thought of having a new little family of his own, while surprising and unexpected, was a pleasant one. He was not so cowardly that he would leave Naniko to take care of the puppies on her own. He could never be so cold-hearted like that bastard Serge. Yet it was not as simple as that. Naniko claimed that didn’t feel comfortable returning to Crimson Dreams right now. She was thinking of possibly joining another pack, but she would not force him to join her. He would have to choose whether he would follow her or remain here in the place he had come to think of as home. The thought of being separated from his family, whether it was the family here in Crimson Dreams or the new family stirring within Naniko’s belly, tore him apart.
The Marino man could not sit still with these thoughts ravaging his mind, so while he still felt bitter towards that mockingly sunny sky, he was thankful for it. Being cooped up in the manor while he felt like this didn’t feel right. He wandered around the territory for hours, finding it easier to focus his thoughts while he was on the move. Despite this, he still couldn’t come up with a solution to his dilemma. The Lieutenant felt a sense of defeat wash over him suddenly and he wished that the perfect answer to his problem would simply present itself. Life was never that simple, though. He sighed in frustration, stopping and sitting upon an old fallen tree on the outskirts of a lightly wooded portion of the pack lands. He placed his face in his hands and tried to pull his thoughts together again. “What am I going to do…?”
