Laying helplessly Fuega whimpered, "Kutai..." The labor had taken its toll leaving her drained. All she could do was try to keep the little ones warm and safe.

Kutai's ears twitched, as if a wind carrying a familiar voice blew into his ear. His eyes opened a little, only to see Fuega missing next to him. He immediately shot up and ran out of the little den, desperation in his voice as he called out for his love. "Fuega! Where are you?!"

Hearing him, "Here!" was all she could muster before her head dropped to the mossy grass. Exhausted and weak Fue's eyes slowly shut against her struggling will to stay conscious. I'm here.... Her mind wanted to call out but her body was too weak to do as it was commanded.

Kutai's ears twitched again as he heard the faint sound of Fuega's voice. With intense agility and grace he leaped over roots and through bushes with ease. He didn't even bother to stop when he saw other small animals, he simply rushed past them. He arrived at the stream and began to follow it, and before long he saw Fuega with two offspring at her side. He stopped a few feet before her and stared in awe.

Tired ears flicked at the sound of someone near by. With a weak growl she opened her hazed over eyes and pulled the babes closer to her. She could not see well enough to know it was Kutai. To her it was a possible threat and she was going to do all she could to protect her offspring.

Kutai moved slowly towards Fuega, shifting his position so that she could see him better. Her eyes seemed hazed over, and since she couldn't see that well that obviously explained her defensive nature kicking in. "Fuega...it's me...Kutai...you can lower your guard now... I'm here."

Hearing him Fuega slowly lowered herself back down, "Kutai..." she weakly whispered. "The...the children..." she took a deep breath, "Beside me...."

Kutai had taken his place beside Fuega, being very gentle as he draped his tails over her and the children. "I know, love...I know...it's wonderful, isn't it? Seeing new life before you, and knowing that...they're ours."

"Are.." she licked her dry lips, "Are they ok?" A spotted tail moved to reveal the little ones.

When her tail moved, Kutai leaned in to see how the little ones were. They were fine, nuzzling against Fuega's body as they sought to be near their mother as much as possible. The little whines of the pups made him sniffle a bit, as he wanted to cry in joy. "They're fine...They look just like us..."

"I am relieved." Fue sighed. "See..." she softly whispered with her eyes closed, "I didn't need anyone's aid....."

Kutai couldn't help but grin. "So you are right. And just think...when they get older, they can help forage food for us, among other things. I have a feeling this will be one tight-knit family."

""Is that how it is supposed to be?" she glanced at him with tired eyes.

"Usually, if we take care of them and show them proper love - if we do that, they will do the same for us unconditionally." he said, nodding.

"Show...proper love....." she repeated to herself. It was what she had lacked in the past. What he had taught her. And now it would be something to give to their young. the fruit of their love.
