The nights, even the days were getting colder now, and Nyx found herself getting more and more antsy about when the pup was to come. She had taken notice that recently there were more chirps coming from the clam then per usual, so she could only hope. But then what would happen when the pup did arrive, would Sammy stay? Or would he decide the den was too small and opt to go back to his own?
These were just a few things running through Nyx's mind, this one cold night as she curled up in a pile of blankets that Dark had given them to help with the cold chill of the night. Wrapping her tail protectively around the clam she settled into the warmth that the blankets provided and smiled over to Sammy, "why don't you come get some sleep too?" She said to him hoping to get the opportunity to cuddle up to him, even if she tried to only excuse it as extra warmth she knew deep down it was more then that, so much more.

He honestly couldn't wait until winter was over where the days would be longer and warmer and finding food would be easier. But he certainly couldn't complain about the company he now kept, still residing with Nyx and the clam she claimed as her own.
Right now he had just came in from disposing of some bones from fish they ate and he was grooming his fur down. When Nyx asked him to come over and lay with her and the clam, he smiled and nodded, making his way over and curling with them both. "He sounds active in there, really active last few days." he mused.

Nyx smiled at this and couldn't help but laugh lightly, especially where as the clam started chirping once again. "Something tells me this pup is going to be a handful whenever they arrive," she said with a grin and leaned over and gave Samael a nuzzle, before turning to coo at the clam trying to get the pup inside to finally settle back down and go to sleep. It had been a long cold day and she was looking to the prospects of a brighter, hopefully warmer day tomorrow.

He nuzzled her back, enjoying the closeness they were sharing. He watched her coo to the clam to get the pup to calm down and he could imagine doing that with another clam...or more clams? Dark in color? He shook his head from those thoughts and laid his head down, closing his eyes and letting himself drift off to sleep.
Morning dawned not so cold, thankfully, but it wasn't the slight increase in temperature that woke him up. It was something pouncing on him that snapped him awake.

Sometime in the middle of the night Loki had decided he had finally had enough of sleeping and hiding in his clam, so he emerged. Finding the blankets rather cozy he decided to stay where he was for the moment. That was until small rays of sunshine started to peek into the den. With a grin he got up and stretched his little paws, and then the next thing anyone knew, he pounced and landed on Samael. Nawing at Samael's ear he tugged, "Wake up!" he whined and then head butted the older male. "Papa!! Wake up!" He continued to protest bouncing up and down wanting to play.
Nyx had slept soundly through the night and was very content being cozied up to Samael in the blankets. Ears twitching at commotion in the den, Nyx yawned and blinked her eyes open, not yet fully aware of what had happened during the night.

Samael shook off whatever had pounced on him and he backed up a bit, very alarmed. Did something sneak in? But how, even though he was asleep, his nose and ears were still on alert, unless they were in a really secure place. This thing was calling him Papa? Where did it come from? He then looked to the clam, which was wide open and it all came together.

Loki took note of how Samael looked, well rather confused, and chased his tail around a moment curious as to what was causing such a problem. Then noticing that Nyx was waking up finally he pounced on her instead. "Mama!" he exclaimed and then started nomming on her ear, murring happily.
Nyx being pounced, found herself suddenly very much awake, her first reaction was to look immediately to the clam, and seeing as it was open she could only assume the ball of fluff that had pounced on her was their her pup, so she purred and nuzzled him a bit, before promptly bring him down from her shoulders and began giving him a bath.

His surprise finally wore off and he smiled gently at the two. So was this what it felt like to have a family? It was rather....nice? Dismissing those thoughts for now, even though they were coming to his mind more and more often, he stood up, "I'm going outside to see how the weather is. Eat if you want, I'll be back shortly." he exclaimed, making his way out of the den and having to dig through some snow.

Nyx looking up from giving Loki a bath smiled at Samael, everything felt perfect, if only she could get herself to tell him how she felt.
Loki tolerated the bath, though he wasn't exactly thrilled with it at least it was attention, but the instant she paused he ceased the opportunity and wiggled away chasing after Samael. "Papa! Papa! I want to come!" He chirped loudly, bouncing all over as he stayed close to Samael's heels.

Samael looked about outside, the sun shining and now clouds in the sky. Though the sun was out, it was still quite cold from all the snow and dry air and quiet around that stretch of forest. He was about to try and clear out some snow from the den entrance when he heard scampering behind him and being called Papa. He wasn't sure how to respond to that. This pup wasn't really his, at least by blood and looks for sure, but he didn't want to hurt him by trying to correct him. "Just be careful out here, it's quite cold. And don't leave my sight." he explained, using his tail to move snow away from the entrance.

Loki gave Samael a wide from ear to ear grin, "ok papa, I'll stay close!" He chirpped happily and then pounced into the snow and started rolling around giggling.
Shaking her head Nyx got up from the blankets when Loki escaped her grasp and followed him and Samael out of the den. A smile across her face, which only grew a bit wider when Loki called Samael papa. Though it was causing all sorts of funny feelings inside.

He swept the snow away from the den entrance, so if it snowed again, they wouldn't end up have snow fall in and blocking it. The sun felt good on his dark fur, feeling himself warm up, despite how cold it felt. He smiled at the playing pup, glad he was enjoying himself.

Nyx walked up behind Samael and stood there watching Loki play for a moment before nuzzling Sammy, "I think we should call him Loki? What do you think?" She asked with a slight emphasis on the we, wanting him to know that his opinion mattered, maybe it would even open up a window to other conversations.
Spotting a bug fluttering by Loki set his sights on it and began chasing it around in front of the den.

He looked to Nyx when she came over and he nuzzled her back, smiling before looking back to the bouncing pup. When she suggested the name and seemingly asked for his opinion about it, he thought and then nodded, "It is a good name for him, Loki." he said.

Nyx smiled at Sammy, a glint of a sparkle in her eyes. "Yea I think it suits him well," she said agreeing, and finding herself all a flutter that he didn't simply pass off the task like it wasn't part of his responsibility. *Maybe just maybe...* she thought to herself with a glimmer of hope.
Loki running about pounced at the bug but when the bug got away he bound over to Nyx and Samael and grinned up at them shaking off some of the snow. "This is fun!" he chirped, "won't you come play now papa?" He asked bringing his upper half down to the ground and wagging his tail about in the air with a big grin on his face.
