The Little Ones

[Juice]

Chazz stuck his head into the large rock den whining slightly. He knew Ciel was going to have pups soon, but knew that pregnant females could be dangerous. He whined as in asking permission to enter.

Ciel growled slightly, partly unsure of who was entering and partly because she just wasn't a happy camper at the moment. Upon recognizing her mate she whined back to tell him that he could enter. Her stomach was large with pups and she had just begun to feel the contractions, they would come soon.

Chazz crept slowly into the den whimpering and licking Ciel's cheek. He was new to fatherhood and wasn't exactly sure how the birthing worked. "Are you okay?" he asked nuzzling her. "We still have some leftover rosemary from Vrede, if you need it for the pain." he whispered.

[Mocha]

Ciel shook her head slowly. Her wings still hurt slightly and the contractions weren't making it better but she felt like she needed to experience this. Her mother wouldn't want her to be using drugs to subdue the feelings.

"I'm okay, but the pups are going to come soon and I'm just a little nervous. How about you?"

Unfortunately her pups didn't let their father answer as they had already begun to push against the exit. Ciel winced and slowly extended her neck and started to grit her teeth as she begun to get the first few pups into the world. Her paws scratched against the ground accidently hitting the father as well and almost immediately she raised her head, smiled at Chazz then began to lick the pups clean. She noticed that the second one had two strange limbs that stuck out from above her shoulders.

"Wings?"

She asked to both herself and Chazz. She was puzzled because she hadn't realized that such a trait could be passed on to pups.

Chazz smiled with glee as the pups were licked clean. "I'm a dad!" he said, but not too loud. He nuzzled Ciel happily. There were a few moments of silence as he inspected the wolf's wings. "Hm...I suppose that wings can be passed down through the genes. He smiled and licked Ciel. "They'll be little pups flying around all over the place." he said with a small laugh. "Let's name them." he pointed to the pup with wings. "He'll be Pluto." he then looked at the one that was white with red limbs and a clear blue tail. "And he'll be Pluto." he then looked at a cute little red pup with a blue heart on her hip. "And she is Vitani." he said gazing at the lovely new pups.

[Mocha]

Ciel smiled, amused by Chazz's reaction to the pups. She looked at the two un-named pups, she gazed at them thoughtfully before picking two names. She picked up the pup with the stripes on her back by the scruff.

"She'll be Claera, and the other one with the wings will be Cappucino, or maybe just Cappy."

She licked all her pup once again to make sure that they were healthy and reacted normal. Slowly all the pups began to suckle hungrily and some whined as their siblings crawled over them.

Chazz smiled happily and nuzzled Ciel. "I love you, and our new family." he said. He looked at the pups. "Cappucino, Claera, Kye, Pluto and Vitani...and Chazz and Ciel." he finished. "I like the sound of that." He curled his head around Ciel and slept. He'd have to go hunting tommorow to feed Ciel so she'd have nutritious milk to feed the pups.

[Mocha]

Ciel smiled as Chazz began to drift into sleep. She had an odd unidentified feeling in the pit of her stomach, perhaps a forgotten pup? No, it wasn't that, nor was it her hunger gnawing at her. Was it pride? She believed it was and her smile grew as she lowered her head to rest, her tongue lightly licking Chazz's mug before closing her eyes to conserve her energy for when the pups would be more energetic and adventurous.

[Juice]

Chazz opened his eyes slowly, Vitani had strayed from his mother and was curled up between his paws. He smiled happily and licked her fur. He could see the rest of the family were still sleeping. He picked up Vitani and gently plopped her between Cappucino and Kye. He then got up and stretched. He whispered to Ciel "I'm going out to hunt dear." and licked her gently. He then trotted briskly out of the den.

*exit Chazz*

ooc: You can play the prey if you want, since your a mod =)

[Mocha]

Ciel shifted as she felt Chazz rise from his sleep to go provide the pups and her some nutrition. She opened her eyes slowly as he licked and saw a blurry figure exiting the cave. Drowsily she nodded and replied a soft, "M'kay", before nodding off to sleep.

ooc: Sure.. but I'm not really experienced in that area, (pokes noob) xP

[Juice]

Chazz toddled into the den dragging his kill. The large haunch would feed two wolves or, in Ciel's case, one mother. He nudged it toward her and smiled at his beautiful pups. "I already ate." he said. He frowned and looked away sadly. He didn't know whether or not to tell Ciel that he had killed a pregnant doe. He decided not to, he didn't want to upset her. He stretched out for a small nap while his mate feasted.

[Mocha]

Ciel opened her eyes revealing two brilliant blue pools as Chazz dragged in her meal. It smelled wonderful but she felt shy about devouring such a good portion. Taking note that she was a mother to 5 pups she relieved her conscience and yipped her thanks to Chazz just before he nodded off. She stuck her silver maw into the carcass, canines ripping apart the medium pieces into smaller edible pieces. Soon she finished and the pups began to stir from their sleep. A few of them suckling on the replenished milk. Ciel licked her chops, trying to get the blood off her jaws, then nudged some of her pups to encourage them to feed. She wondered what Chazz was thinking, or dreaming of. She sighed, flicked an ear and looked out and stared at the light that came into her den as a thin beam.
