There was time to breathe after the albino puppy had been born, although there was a telltale ripple through the female’s abdomen that showed it was not the last. Levent knew they would both have to steal the precious minutes between contractions, at least until the next baby came out into the world.
He smiled tenderly as he watched his daughter suckle, until his ear twitched back and he turned to see that Dalgina was busy with her sketchpad. He threw her a brilliant grin before his attention went back to the ladies, big and little and both more gorgeous than he could believe. His cream fingers went out to Hotaru’s mane, running gently through her fur a few times before the woman spoke of a name.
Levent hesitated, peering down at the tiny white bundle. He’d been mostly joking when he suggested that he was unfit for naming children, but suddenly the responsibility of bestowing a name on such a precious creature was overwhelming. Most of the names that sprang to mind were Turkish (besides his mother’s name, but it didn’t quite seem to suit the white pup), and he filtered through the unpronounceable ones until the epiphany came to him.
Aysun, the man whispered, reaching out and stroking the tiny body with one gentle finger. She is as beautiful as the moon, and so that will be her name.
He knew the mother had the right to reject his suggestion, but he was so caught up with feeling that he didn’t care and didn’t think she would care, either. But it was his daughter, and he wanted the best for her already.
Hotaru, Levent said, withdrawing his hand. His expression grew serious but no less affectionate. Do you need anything else,
(--) So fluffyyy <3
