A wide-spread grin overtook his maw as he could feel the pups within the confines of Tai's stomach shift. As she nuzzled and head-butted against him, the white and black male chuckled softly.
"Oh," he commented as he stretched upwards and brushed against his mates muzzle, licking her tenderly upon the nose. "I think they're just taking your side; you're all ticklish."
A flood of pink overtook his face as she nibbled upon his ears. "If I can have a son then you can have the rest of them be girls. I just want a boy to carry on their fathers blood," he laughed softly as he rolled onto his back and peered at his mate.
"But I'll settle for anything," he whispered with a warm smile. "I just want a big family...."

Taima smiled and nipped at him a little. "Of course they are taking my side! They are living inside of me." How that really had anything to do with taking sides, she wasn't quite sure, but it's what she had come up with and it was what she had said. So what is done is done.
Smiling, she nuzzled him again then lay down next to him, resting her head on his paws. Her tail swayed gently back and forth behind her, sweeping away some dust as it did so. It made her happy to know that Damu would always be there beside her, forever and for always. He'd stay by her side and she'd stay by his. Her heart raced in a flurry of delight when they talked about how many children they would have and whether they would be male or female.
Nibbling at his paws, she giggled again slightly. "I will give you a big family," she whispered, glancing up at him then giving him an affectionate nuzzle.
Yes... they'd have a big family together and everything would be perfect.

A smug look drew across his maw as he rolled his eyes, a chuckle sounding from his chest. "They might take your side now but, later on, I think they just might side with good ol' dad." Though pups mostly sided with their mothers and rarely could divert themselves to side with their fathers, Damu could only toy with his mate and let the anticipation for the birithin to stir up his emotions.
He could only await for when the day Tai gave birth would come.
Whining softly and rumbling low as his mate nibbled at his paws, Damu smiled warmly and he pressed his nose against hers and closed his eyes.
"And you're the only one I'd ever have a family with, Tai," he softly spoke as he brushed against her and nibbled at her ears.
Glancing over towards Kaede, the white and black wolf tilted his head slightly.
"What do you think they'll look like? Swirls, stripes, splotchey, spattered?"

Taima narrowed her eyes playfully at Damu. "Oh really now?" She grinned and seemed amused that he would think that. Like him, she knew that pups often sided with their mothers. It probably had something to do with the fact that they were with their mothers from the very beginning and depended on their mothers even before they were born.
But, she supposed, it could always be that that was just the way things were. It worked for her, and so she merely shrugged it off and nibbled on his toes. Yet when he asked her what she thought their puppies might look like, she glanced over him and then tried to take a look at herself.
"Hm... well, I think they'll take a lot after their handsome daddy," she laughed, head-butting him again just for the fun of doing so.
"I think I'd like them to have lots of swirls." For some reason, she had a thing for swirls. It was probably the fact that there were so many different designs available for swirls. Even though swirls were just swirls, they could be different sizes and lengths and come together to create something else. But then, it could also be that she liked swirls because her mate had some himself.
Grinning, she merely shrugged. "What do you think?"

He sheepishly smiled as he rumbled with a light laughter. "Oh, well, they'll have to take after their mother. Or what good will it be?" Damu pressed his head against hers as he too head-butted against Tai with a tender and compassionate manner.
"Swirls?" He tilted his head slighlty as a slightly perplexed expression drew upon his lips. Somehow he had though of how his "future family" would look and, now, the realityof actually being able to see what his new family would look like only made him grin.
"Well," he began as he furrowed his brows in thought, "I think they'll have their mothers eyes, first of all. For their fur, maybe, a bit of white an some varaitions of green and, of course, black. And for the patterns, swirls and splotches of colors or," arching a brow, Damu stuck out his tongue slightly as the final thoughts were stumbling through his mind, "maybe some new, sporatic design."
Resting his head upon his paws, Damu sighed softly and glimpsed towards his mate.
"How does that sound?"

Taima blushed slightly when her mate said that they'd have to take after her. She didn't think she was all that pretty, and so she believed that they should take more after their father. But, she figured, they'd come out how they came out; she wouldn't be able to change it even if she wanted to. But, she supposed, their puppies would be perfect no matter what.
Her ears perked slightly as she listened to what Damu thought their pups would look like. His idea was more into detail than hers, and she felt a bit shameful about not thinking more on it. These were her pups, her family, her future!
"Ooh, a random design sounds interesting. Don't you think it'd be cool if ouy pups came out looking totally random?" Sure, that would they wouldn't bear much of a resemblance to their parents, but it'd sure make for some laughs, she thought. After all, it'd be strange but also interesting if they created a blue or pink or some other oddly colored offspring.
"And I think that this has all got me excited," she yipped, nipping at him once again. Yes, she was very excited. She simply couldn't wait until the puppies arrived!

Damu quirked a brow as the idea sunk within his train of thought. Random colors? Random puppies? He chuckled as the idea did seem too plausible; oh, the history of the colorations and hues of his family were not exactly,-well normal.
"...A pink puppy?" He grinned as he shook his head with a whistful sight. "Its possible, I won't deny that. My family has had a bit of "unique" members with random colors and, maybe, we'll find ourselves the proud parents of a pink spattered puppy with black swirls and red dipped paws."
He could admit it; He too was excited to see what random, sporatic surprises fate would deal to them. Laughing as he nibbled at his mates paws, Damu let his shoulders relax as his tail thumped behind him.
"It's all up to fate."

Taima couldn't help but laugh a little when he suggested a pink puppy. Her family hadn't really been one to have random throw-back colors, but, as he had just mentioned, his family was a bit random when it came to colors. So perhaps his genes would win out when it came to pelt colors and designs and their puppies would be totally different from her parents. She thought it would be cool if they were like that, but she wanted at least one puppy to look like one of them, either her or Damu. Otherwise...
"Well, we'll just have to wait and see," she murmured, winking then nibbling on his ears. The suspense was just too great!
She couldn't wait until they were due to be born...

He wrinkled his muzzle as he pawed at her face in a tender gesture. Wait? he couldn't wait! No! He wanted to have the puppies be born soon! A warm smile slid across his maw as he settled his emerald orbs upon his mate.
"Taima, I don't think I can wait much longer," he whispered as he nuzzled against her. Rumbling with pleasure as his mate gnawed soothingly upon his ears, the white and black swirled wolf let a small sigh escape from his lips. "Can't we just forward time?"
Impatient- yes! But Damu had been waiting to witness the birth of his family with Tai for so long! Tai had finally become pregnant but, to him, the time left to wait was all to agonizing.

The moss-colored female grinned at her mate. She could tell how impatient he was being, and she couldn't exactly blame him. Just like him, she had waited for the birth of her very own family for a long time, perhaps long before she had met Damu. It was just a female thing, wanting a family of her own at some point or another.
"Well, perhaps it's not as far away as you think," she hinted, head-butting him once more with her forehead. It was a female thing to be able to predict when a litter would be born. Females, more than anything, understood gestation periods and due dates in and out completely. It was like some knowledge that was stored in the very back of the brain, but was there nonetheless.
However, just to tease him, she would reveal nothing more about the due date or any other sort of information pertaining to the birth. Well, perhaps she would, but he'd have to work for it.

Damu's very maw seemed to drop as Taima teased him with the well-known information she was hiding. Oh, females thought they were so sly! It was more than fact that the females were keen at decifering when they were due to give birth but, for the males, they were often left to be informed right when their mates yelled for their accompanyment and assitance. But Damu couldn't let that happen. No- he had to know!
Growling softly in a playful manner, the white and black swirled male breached his head upwards and tugged upon his mates ears. "You know, don't you! Come on, Tai! Tell me!"
Pawing at her face and whining much like a small pup, Damu wouldn't- no, he couldn't let her tease him and not share her information.
"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!"
Slinking his head down, the male shifted his body downwards and, with a tender, caressing touch, drew his nose across her belly.
"Come on, Tai!"

Tai giggled and snuggled herself against him as he seemed to figure out her little hint. He now knew that she was harboring information about the due date of the pups, and she felt like some sort of princess with the knowledge and power that she held over him--in a sense--just by knowing something vital and important like this.
But, when Damu drew his nose across her belly, she softened completely and sank down into him, her green eyes catching his. In his, she saw the father of her pups, gentle and willing to protect them no matter what. She saw a father that would give anything and everything for his pups, and by seeing that she saw that she should tell him.
"Three weeks," she whispered, nuzzling him tenderly and affectionately, as if she were trying to apologize for making him crazy for a moment there, for making him anxious for the information to be revealed to him.
"Or around three weeks, at least," she added, smiling and giving him a quick kiss to his nose.

Three weeks.
The mind of the white and black swirled male felt as if every thought was crowding his flow of recollections, memories and reflections; causing everything to sudden cease as everything focused around one thing. The coming weeks.
An unbearable grin spread across his maw as Taima planted a kiss upon his nose and nuzzled into his thick, tapered fur. He chuckled softly as he paralleled his own emerald orbs with those of the brilliant, glistening orbs of his mate. Damu couldn't believe it; in about three weeks he would be a father and, at last, Taima would be a mother to his pups.
"That's wonderful! It seems like there's so little time, love! Tell me, what needs to get done so we can have a more puppy-safe enviorment?" He questioned as he pressed his nose against hers and whined softly.
"Whatever you and the pups need, I'll find."

Taima wagged her tail uncontrollably as her mate grew thrilled with the information. She was glad that she had told him, for she seemed to have made him happier simply by sharing that little bit of female intuition with him. She also felt that it brought them closer, for there were no longer any more secrets in between them.
Then, when he asked what she and the puppies needed, she merely smiled and shook her head at him.
"All we need right now," she whispered, nuzzling herself against him a little bit more, "is the father. And you are already here, so it seems that our situation is perfect." Sighing happily, Tai rested her head on his paws and closed her eyes. She was a little tired from telling him the news and celebrating a little, and the puppies growing inside of her only made her more tired.
"I love you, Damu," she mumbled, afterwards drifting off into blissful sleep.

His ears perked upwards a a softened expression drew up upon his maw, a low rumble emitting from his chest as he affectionately licked his mate and nuzzled against her. She was everything to him and, now, she was soon to become the greatest ranks of all; a mother.
The situation was...perfect.
As Tai rested her head upon his paws, Damu threw his head over and onto his mates neck. Brushing himself against her as he nestled closer towards her, Damu nibbled tenderly upon her ears.
"I love you, Taima. Sleep well, soon-to-be-mother," he whispered soothingly as he too was finding it hard to keep his eyes open any longer. With the sensation of weights upon his eyeslids, the whtie and black swirled wolf closed his eyes and began falling hostage into sleep.
