A Pack's Journey Home. Private (2) with tenebria

[Abbster]

Bella smiled. “Anything for you, my rolling thunder” Bella said, licking him as Daisy finished nursing and bounced over to her father and jumping on top of his back.

Auroras eyes lit up. “Oh, yes please!” She said, looking after her adopted mother.

Clover padded up to her sister. “Hey Clove” Lulu said. “Hey” clover said, licking her sister. “Can we talk for a second?” She asked. Lulu nodded. “Of course, what’s up?” She asked. “Well, you know Fang and I are mates now, we found an abandoned pup, we named her Aurora, as she didn’t have a name..” she said. Lulus eyes brightened, licking her sister lovingly. “Anyways, Uhm…well…Remmie said we have a few spare dens left…and that Fang and I could have it to ourselves if we wanted.” Clover said. “That would mean…being away from you.” She said, nuzzling her sister. “I know..” Lulu said. “But…I was going to tell Rebel how I felt about him soon” she said. Clover smiled, and hugged her sister. “So, you’re ok if Fang and I have our own den?” She asked. “Of course I am!” She said. “Sis, I’ll still see you everyday” Lulu said. “I love you Clove” she said. “I love you” Clover said, licking her sister. “Thank you” she said. Lulu smiled and nodded watching her sister pad away.

Coco nodded. “Well, I believe he’s with his Luna right now” he said.

Snowflake smiled and licked her new mate. “What if we have pups?” She asked.

Thunder licked her on the nose and then laughed as Daisy pounced on his back. "Goodness, you a Hopper there little one?" he asked teasingly, gently rolling over so she landing on his side. Willow looked up as she heard her father's laugh, letting out a yip and scampering over to pounce on his ear growling and tugging on it. He chuckled "easy there my ferocious little willow!" he said.

Fang smiled. "Alrighty then" he said happily, padding off towards the dens. "So up there is the Alpha and Luna's den, and right below that is the Beta's den. His name's Drake, and he's a very kind, sensible dog" he said, then motioned to the log and clearing. "That's where the Alpha will give out any orders in the day or announcements, and we all gather in this clearing. Over there is the scouts den, then the hunter's den, and then our den, the guards den. At the end is Remmie's den. Right now most everyone is out guarding or patroling or scouting." he said with a smile. "They'll love to meet you when we eat dinner tonight" he added.

Duke nodded "That's true" he acknowledged. "Maybe if we see him then?" he suggested, not really sure why he wanted to find this out for her, but deep inside him seeing how much it meant to her, and really wanting to see her happy.

Brutus smiled and nuzzled her. "Well I hope they look like you!" he said with a loving gleam in his eyes.

[Abbster]

Daisy flattened her ears and looked at her father. Why did he treat Willow differently than her? She wondered. Daisy let out a high pitched bark to get her fathers attention. Bella looked at Daisy. “What is it Daisy, darling?” Bella asked. Daisy let out another high pitched yip, and then a growl to her sister, pouncing on top of her.

Aurora looked around. “Where’s Clover?” She asked. “Right here” Clover said. “And, we’re going to have our own den” she said to Fang, nuzzling him lovingly. “Lets go tell Remmie” she said, padding towards Remmie with her mate and daughter.

Coco smiled. “Yea, we’ll ask him later” she said.

Snowflake smiled. “Well, I hope they look like you” she said. “You’re the strongest dog I know” she said.

[tenebria]

Thunder twisted his head to look up at his daughter with a smile as Willow was still firmly attatched to his ear. Until her sister landed on her. Willow let out a surprised yelp and was flattened, then quickly wriggled out and sprang ontop of her sister, turning the tables. Thunder chuckled again. "Goodness, those two!" he said as he rolled back to his paws, watching them fondly.

Fang looked over and then smiled, nuzzling her "Oh thank you Clover!" he said happily, nuzzling her as they padded up to Remmie. "Remmie, we'd love it if you would be so kind as to show us one of those spare dens" Fang said proudly. To have a den just for himself and his family, like the Alpha.

Duke smiled again and nodded, turning his gaze back to the forest, but his gaze was slightly more thoughtful now.

Brutus chuckled, licking her nose "Well I think YOU'RE the strongest dog I know, and the prettiest" he said lovingly.

[Abbster]

“Oh…I think I get it” Bella said. “Thunder, I think Daisy jumped on Willow to get her away from you…I think she wants you to treat her like Willow” Bella said. “I don’t know, but I just…pups are strange” she said as her two oldest daughters wriggled on the ground together. The other two still nursing hungrily. “Would you mind taking those two outside?” She asked.”Saylor and Sage are still nursing.” She added.

Remmie smiled and nodded. “Of course!” She said. “Follow me” she said, leading them to the spare den. She padded inside. “This should be big enough for the three of you” she said, “and if you have pups one day, it will be big enough for them as well” she said. “Let me get your bed” Remmie said. “I can do it, and then would you mind making it bigger?” Clover asked. Remmie smiled. “Of course not!” She said. Clover brought their bed over and put it in their new den. Then Remmie added more bedding to fit the three dogs.

Coco looked at Duke. “Duke..” she said. “I…I like you…like…I like you…like you” she said.

Snowflake blushed. “Oh Brutus” she said. “I love you”

[tenebria]

Thunder raised his eyes "Oh! Well goodness, she shouldn't worry about that!" he said with a laugh, then nodded. "of course darling" he agreed, nudging his two oldest daughters. "Come on now, take this outside you two" he said with a chuckle.

Fang smiled as he entered the den, sniffing it and examining it for any cracks before nodding. "This is a wonderful den!" he said, his smile widening as she mentioned them having pups. When Clover returned he nuzzled her lovingly. Their own home. It was like a dream!

Duke looked down in absolute shock, his mind whirling a bit from all the likes. "Wait.. like... like like me?" he said, blinking as he attempted to wrap his head around this. She... she liked him!! He blinked again. "Oh coco!" he said suddenly a wide smile flashing over his muzzle. "Wait, you do mean like like as in..." he said pausing uncertainly, always second guessing himself, and for good reason. he usually got stuff wrong.

Brutus sighed and licked her nose again "Oh I love you so much my beautiful Snowflake!" he said softly.

[Abbster]

Daisy bolted outside after her father and then she threw herself in Willow. Rolling around in the dirt with her. Bella smiled and watched her mate and pups leave, before she nuzzled her two remaining nursing pups.

Clover smiled and looked around. “It’s perfect” she said. Suddenly, she heard yipping. “Well look who’s finally awake” she said, smiling as the youngest pack members rolled in the dirt. “Aurora, those are Daisy and Willow, the alpha and lunas oldest daughters” Clover said.

Coco blushed. “Yes, I like you, as I want to be with you forever” Coco said, nuzzling him.

Snowflake smiled. “I hope we do have pups together one day” she said.

[tenebria]

Thunder ducked out of the den and chuckled as Daisy and Willow dashed past him to resume rolling around. "Gentle there you two!" he said as he lay down to keep an eye on them.

Fang smiled and nodded, nuzzling her in agreement then looking over and chuckling. "Those two have more energy than any pups i've seen!" he said, then laughed again "not that i've seen many" he added.

Duke blinked, he was lost for words. "WOW" he finally managed to get out. "I mean Wow!" he said, then just gazed at Coco for a few minutes, his mouth open in a happy smile. Then he blinked, "Wow I...I think I like you too!" he said with a joyful surprised grin.

Brutus smiled and nuzzled her again "Oh i'm so glad, I want pups too!" he said, eyes glimmering at the thought.

[Abbster]

Daisy barked, saying she had heard her father, before rolling around with her sister more. She broke away from Willow, and charged towards her father, pouncing on his tail and then pawing her way up to his back, where she rolled onto her back and panted a little bit.

Clover chuckled as Aurora yawned. “Can I have a nice nap?” She asked. “Of course honey!” Clover said. Aurora smiled and she padded into the den, curling up on the bed and falling asleep. “Shall we join our daughter?” Clover asked.

Coco gasped and nuzzled him a bit. “I know this is a lot..” she said. “Especially for you” she added.

Snowflakes eyes glowed. “As do I” she said.

[tenebria]

Willow looked over and let out a yip as well before grabbing her sister's tail then letting go as she raced off to their father. Thunder let out a surprised laugh as she leapt onto his tail then scrambled up to his back and flopped over. "Is my little daisy tired?" he asked, turning to nuzzle her belly with his nose. Willow growled and raced over to him, pouncing on his tail and then becoming fixated on attempting to capture it as he wagged it.

Fang smiled and nuzzled her as she went into the den, then nuzzled Clover. "Do you think we finished our patrol enough?" he asked hesitantly.

Duke gave another wide smile as she nuzzled him, beginning to grasp the meaning of this. "Well yes, it is" he answered honestly. "But... yes... yes I like you!" he said, happy to admit this to himself and her, although his oblivious mind hadn't given it much thought beforehand.

Brutus nuzzled her. "I'm so glad" he said softly. The thought of not only being a mate to this beautiful dog... but being a father to her pups? To having pups of his own? That was just too good to be true!

[Abbster]

Daisy let out a yip as her father tickled her…when she suddenly said. “D-dada!” She rolled back onto her belly and then she looked at him, blinking. Did she just….was that her? Daisy asked herself looking around…very confused.

“I think the alpha will understand” Clover said. “We just adopted a pup” she added, padding in after her daughter. Aurora was sleeping peacefully in the bed and Clover smiled, laying down and curling herself around her new daughter, licking her ear. “We could have our own pups one day” clover said to fang as he padded inside.

Coco smiled. “I don’t know if either of us are ready for this…and we sleep in separate dens..” she trailed off. “Duke…” she stopped, unsure of weather or not she should continue. “It would make me so happy…to have a strong dog like you by my side…I suppose what I’m asking is…will you be my mate?” She asked him, eyes glowing a little.

“If we were to have pups one day, how many would you want?” Snowflake asked.

[tenebria]

Thunder's jaw literally dropped. Had his pup just spoken?! OH daisy!!!" he said, nuzzling her lovingly. "yes, yes, i'm your dada!" he said. Willow tilted her head from where she sat beside her father. What had her sister done to get such praise? She was confused. Thunder lifted his head to bark softly to his mate. "Bella, Daisy just spoke!" he said, joy in his voice.

Fang nodded and happily followed his mate into their den, laying down and nuzzling his adopted daughter before looking over to his mate and licking her nose. "I would love that" he said softly.

Duke looked uncertain as well, then his eyes widened as she kept speaking. "OH!" he said, once more lost for words. How many times could a dog say wow before it was too much? "I..I..I... Coco!!" he finally got out. "I would be, i just, it would make me, just so happy!" he said, stumbling over his words as he smiled, his eyes shining with sudden happiness. Was it even possible to be this happy while being so befudddled? "OH I yes, You as my mate, yes!!" he said again, trying to get his words straight. Finally he just leaned down and licked her nose, blushing slightly as he did.

Brutus nuzzled her "I always wanted to have at least 4, but however many you would want my soft snowflake" he said, licking her nose again. He was just about ready to agree to anything at that point, the female husky had him 100% smitten.

[Abbster]

Daisy blinked a little, just as confused as her sister was. Saylor and Sage had finally finished nursing when Bella heard Thunder. She rose her head and walked…well…trotted out of the den, the other two pups behind her. “She did?” She asked, eyes glowing. “Daisy, what did you say!” Bella asked, sitting beside her mate. Daisy blinked, still utterly confused. What had she done? Daisy wondered. Then she saw her mother. “M-mama!” She said. Bella’s eyes grew wide with pride. “Yes Daisy! Yes!” She said licking her oldest daughter. “I’m your mama!” She said.

Clover smiled and she rested her head in her paws as she snuggled close to her little family.

Coco smiled and licked him in return. “We should get back to watching now” she said. “But I love you Duke” she added.

Snowflake blushed. “I think 4 for our first litter is good” she said as she heard happy yips. She turned and looked around. “What’s going on down there?” She asked as Bella and Thunder were praising their oldest daughter for something.

[tenebria]

Thunder smiled and nodded as his mate came out. He gasped as she said Mama as well. "She said Dada too!" he added, smiling over at their oldest daughter. "It's amazing!" he said with a happy sigh. Willow frowned. How on earth was her sister doing that? She growled slightly.

Fang licked her nose one more time, nuzzling Aurora and laying his head down, keeping his eyes warmly on his mate.

Duke smiled widely and nodded slightly. But how was he supposed to go back to watching after this? "I love you too Coco!" he said happily, his tail wagging on the ground behind him. Unfortunately he was not a very sensible dog, and the thought of them living in different dens had not crossed his mind again after she had spoken.

Brutus smiled and nuzzled her again. "I agree" he said softly, then looked over with a bemused look. "I have no idea!" he said, his ears pricking interestedly.

[Abbster]

“She’s talking!!” Bella said happily. “We need to tell the pack!” She looked at Thunder. “Darling this is huge! Our first born daughter is talking!” She said as Daisy looked at her mother and father. “I’m SO proud of you my little daisy!” Bella said as Daisy barked a little, jumping onto her brother and rolling around with him.

Clover looked over at her mate. “Hey, why were you twitching this morning?” She asked in a low voice.

Coco looked over at him. “Oh. Looks like the alpha is out. Let’s go ask him if he’s seen anyone that looks like my sister or mother” she said.

Snowflake nudged her mate. “Should we go see?” She asked
