Fresh from the den, the day was bright and led this young adult wild dogs heart to the highest of moods. She enjoyed waking up to a bright moon, the night sky filled with glorious stars, none covered by pesky clouds. Not a smell of rain in the air. She looked back to teh den filled with pups of all ages and the looked away, she felt free for a moment, they'd be asleep a little longer she assumed.
Her paws were eager as she was to explore a little from the den. The farthest she'd been was to meet a healer to get training from her. She didn't enjoy being far from the den with so many young ones around, she treasured their moments shared with their 'Mommy' and she loved her litle ones. She wondered now. "Where has Zube gone?" SHe smiled at his name and gazed about before recalling his dog name and correcting herself.
Stongear came galloping towards his den, he had had an early shift as a scout and the chocolately colored wild dog was anxious to get back to his rather large family, which now included not onl himself and his mate but tweleve little pups. The pups may not biologically be Twana's but Strongear, or Zuberi as his EarthChild refered to him, but she had taken the role of mother on beautifull, and he couldn't have been more proud of her.
As Strongear made it closer to the den he spotted the tell tale white and golden pelt of his mate. He galloped towards his female. "Hello my darling." Strongear greated the female, licking her cheak as he came to rest next to her.
Twana was bright eye'd and bushy tailed as Zube approached. "Zuu..Strongear!" She settled herself a bit and nosed his cheek, licking his fluffy pelt a bit in return. She missed him on his scouting ventures and had become a lot more enthusiastic about life as she grew up. She found out quickly what Zube had gone through with her being so oyoung and him being at his prime. She was giddy as ever , but being her in a nutshell she prided herself in holding back.
"How was your shift?" She asked after his voice had settled it's echo in her ears, the ringing of it teased her soothingly, the only way she'd sleep at day was by his good night, she treasured it so. "Anything exciting happen, the pups are still asleep.. so it's been pretty quiet around here." She laughed softly, tail giving a small wag.
Strongear smiled Twanna showing enthusaism like she did now, he had been worried when she was younger and that she wouldn't settle into the pride at all, but now she seemed happy. It made the chocolatey wild dog very happy. Even had a glimmer of hope that soon Twana would be willing to have a litter of pups with him soon, to add to their ever growing family.
"The shift was boring. Nothing much happening on the boarders tonight, but thats not a bad thing." Stongear shifted his weight a bit, as he spoke, even as an adult the wild dog had trouble sitting still. "The pups are still sleeping?" Strongear asked a teasing tone in his voice as he nudged Twana.
Twana immediately caught on to his nudge, his voice, his eye's. "You tease.." SHe murmured flirtatiously. A giggle was aroused from her throat and sounded giddy as she felt. "They may not sleep much longer with all the racket your booming voice makes!" She remarked happily. She loved her family so much and didn't literally want the pups woken up, they were attention hogs and thus why she ocupation of her own at the moment.
"Oh Strongear, we have such a perfect family, all twelve pups, unique and loving and caring, Just like their lovable Father." She smiled, a glowing lok upon her face. She held herself closeto him and yawned softly, exhausted from the endless hours up.
Strongear found urges stirring in him, ones that he had been surpressing for so long, he didn't want to sire another litter that wasn't Twana and he now dearly wanted to share a litter with her. She was full grown now he need not feel guilty about it at all. "Oh come on I will be quite." he whispered in her ear hoping to send tingles down her spine.
On one hand he knew that Twana was right, the night was starting to get on, and the pups would wake up soon, it was actually a miricle that none of them had gotten up yet but on the other hand he wanted time with hsi mate. He moved closer to her again nuzzling hoping to make it hard for her to say no. A soft glint in his eyes.
A flirt, her Zube was a monsterous flirt and she felt it hard to say no, she admired his pelt, his muscles beneath it and the way his eye's glowed when he stared at her. She shuddered slightly at his whisper, the words jumping about in her mind like jumping beans. She nearly dove away as the temptation drove in and pestered her, but she felt glued to the floor, paws stuck where they were. "Oh, but Zuube.." She moaned softly at him, ears flipping back, eye's begging in a constraint. She fought herself off but couldn't help herself as he moved in for a nuzzle.
"Your body, made of pure muscle, pelt so soft to the nose.. words like the aroma of fresh meat." She felt her jaws shiver as she herself spoke, her legs weak. She was new to this. "These feelinsg Zube.. I don't know what I'm doing." She froze like a puppy during a teaching, the answer right there written by instinct, but mind clouded over by questions. She knew deep down, in a very adult appropriate way he'd help her understand, but she was truly nervous.
Zuberi smiled a little, it was hard for him to see her llike this in one way it was so attractive but at the same time he felt bad for putting her in a postion that made her feel like this. "Why don't we take a walk my dear?" he said to the pale wild dog. It would be easier to talk if he knew that pups weren't going to pop there heads out of the den at any moment.
He began to stroll knowing that Twana would keep at his side. "My dear it is normal." he began his voice still a soft soothing whisper. He didn't want to make his mate anymore uncomfortable. "Its a lot of emotion to feel all at once though, I understand what you are feeling." He nuzzled her carefully. "Besides these urges, well my dear, they lead to pups. We could extend our family more." He smiled
She walked with him, his voice becoming his soothing tone she was used to, the tone he explained things with. She knew she'd learn from him, she loved that he knew her and how she needed to be handled. "Meaning.. we'd have our own, our real own pups!" She proclaimed excitedly. Oh how she instantly regretted that, her head hung a moment, she knew he'd probably understand, she didn't mena she'd love their current little ones any less, but it ate her up inside not having their litter. Not having her own pups around..
"Puppies.." She smiled to herself, she wanted their pups, wanted little yellow and brown splotched babies running about, boy how they'd stick out if they inherited their Moms pelt of white, but she didn't care, theyd' all be one big family. "Our own." She finally worked up the courage to gaze at Zube and smiled at him broadly.
Stongear was the furthest thing from upset, he knew that Twana meant nothing by what she said, it was simple really he body craved her own pups just the same as anyone else. He smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. "Oh my dear I know that you want them so bad, I am sorry that you have had to wait so long to have them, but now there is nothing to hold us back, the current pups are old enough now for us to have another litter, we will make our happy family just a little larger."
As far as Strongear knew all his pups were happy in their home, and would welcome more siblings with open arms. He began to move towards a den that he knew was unoccupied, perhaps a den that he and Twana could use for some.... alone time "Come with me my dear, we can talk more inside the comfirt of this den." he lead the way in he knew that she would know what was on her mind.

Earthchild was mesmerized by his speech, entranced into moving with him. Puppies. The only thought in her head, she wanted nothing more then her own yellow-chocolate puppies. "Nothing at all? The rest of the family.. they may be older, but will they be okay?" Her heart ached for the pups he kept offering, but their current family, she couldn't let her head rest til she knew they'd be okay with it.
She followed him to the den, it was large, making her voice echo softly, she heard the worry and yearning drip from it and shivered with intrigue. She felt her pelt puff up instantly and she shivered again. "Talk?" Her brain was frazzled, newly old enough to create such wonders as pups, new to the fact of an offer she just couldn't seem to refuse.
"I love our family." She whispers to Zube. "I remember the day you protected me from the storm.. the first storm you ever saw me quake." Her eye's watered lightly as she remembered how their love sparked similarly to that storms lightening bolts. "I love you." She sighed softly, the tears were from practical joy. She had love, had a family, had a home and was closer to finishing her teachings in healing. She had her fantasy in reality, what more could she ask for.

Strongear could hear the worry and yearning in her voice. "The pups are old enough, the first litter was younger then the second litter when I brought the second litter home." Strongear knew what he had said was confusing but at the same time he hoped Twana had followed his thoughts. "They are already going out on there own thinking about what they want to do when they become teens, they will be out of our den before we know it dear, and it makes sense to keep our den full." he smiled sweetly.
Strongear settled on the den floor and gestured to Earthchild that she should come lay with him, he pulled her close to him nuzzling is muzzle into her fur. "I love you my dear, you have been more than great this whole time and I really don't know what I would have done without you. I want to give you what you want, you have always wanted. Our own pups."

"So long as your certain..." She nodded slowly, eyes averted to the ground, body nestled up against the love of her life. She could feel his heart beat, the beat that made all other music seem dull and dry if he weren't there to share, made a howl less enchanting and made her body cold and unlively when he was gone. "I love you too Zuberi, I love you with all my heart and soul." She moved her head, shifting for comfortableness as she nosed at his jaw.
"Our den will always be full of pups if I can help it Zube." She avoided using his Peke Na name, so she whispered when she said his real name. Fearing she might get the pair in trouble if anyone were to invade or overhear them talking.
Her nose dropped from him and she gazed at the dirt near her paws and grew a questioning look on her face. "I don't understand how one has puppies... My Mom never had time to explain, we all separated so fast." She spoke sadly of her long lost family. She had a slight chance recently for remeeting her sister, but it wasn't the same.

Strongear was a little nervous about explaining the ins and outs of bearing cubs, being a male and never present for the birth of his pups Stongear wasn't fully sure as to what happened with the females.
"Well my dear first we well we make the babies, doing what we have been lately." he winked lightly the couple had only recently become active in that way, he had never wanted to rush the younger female along.
"And one of the times something will spark and inside of you little pups will start growing. Sometimes from my understanding it takes longer then others, I swear to you that it never took more then one time with the others." he said the last part quietly worried he would upset her, but he also didn't want his Earthchild to be upset, not when they were so close to making pups of their own.
"You then carry the pups in your tummy." he said as he nuzzled her stomach gently. "When they are big enough they will come out, all tiny and fluffy and wonderful little golden choloclate." he cuddled her "I don't know what the birth process is like but I promise to help you throug it in anyway I can, and I know some of the older pups will want to help too." he nuzzled hsi beloved.
"So what do you say you think you are ready for this?" he asked his tone lighty and bouncey not wanting to put any pressure on her.

Zube seemed nervous, she was startled, but then reassured. "Oh! I definitely like what we've been doing!" She was so innocent and new, she nuzzled up nice and close to him. Listening very hard. "My belly? They grow in there?" She gasped suddenly, she then realized she's never seen a pregnant wild dog. She wished silently for some kind of encounter.
"Will they be okay in my belly? Nothing can hurt them in there? What if I fall over? What if I have to chase down the others in our family? How can they breathe? How do they eat?" She was nearly out of breath, she hadn't remembered asking this many questions since she was a small pup. Then she clued in, if others had done it the pups had to be fine.
She heaved in a deep breath. "Never mind those questions. It's just all evry new to me." She chuckled nervously about it.
