Suddenly, the crying stopped abruptly. Fireflight remained in position for a few moments, breathing heavily into Euphrates' chest. Slowly her head raised and at last, she really looked at him in the eyes. Her gaze was tired, deafeated, and most of all, exhausted. She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the ground doubtfully. Sure you do. If you love me so much then what is all of this?
"Euphrates...." The tone was put-out, ticked off, but slightly softer than her earlier sneer.
She raised her head slowly to face him again, tears still hot and leaking from her copper eyes.
"I'm pregnant."

Suddenly, all sadness was gone.
Eyes widened, he stared down at Fireflight, as if she had sprouted wings and a second tail.
“…y-you’re… pregnant…?”
Abandoning all memory of everything that had happened in the last day, Euphrates suddenly burst into laughter. He lunged forward, effectively giving Fireflight a hug and an accompanying kiss.
“THAT’S WONDERFUL!”
(( xD BABEH RAMSES! And Euphrates… he’s got a thing for family x3 ))

(( Did he inherit that from Babylonia?  )) Her eyes bulged as she was suddenly swept away into the most enomrous bear hug ever, accompanied with....a kiss? Why does that always turn up in roleplay? Wolves should not be able to do that! She let herself be huggled, but slowly pulled away, as sadness still lingered in her heart, even with the warmth that had started as they touched. "But...you said all those things before, Euphrates...."She blinked at him, growning deeply in confusion. "What if it comes a choice between our children and your old family? What if they try and kill me or the pups?"((.....realistic litter? xD xD LOL idk if we want to do that to them. Hm. 5 or 6 just to get our naming juices out? :  ) |

(( well, I guess more realistic would be a “muzzle tap”, but “kiss” is easier to say xD + quite possibly, + sure, 5-6 sounds fine )) Feeling her fur slipping from his grasp, Euphrates stumbled to catch himself from tumbling over. His eyes glowed, alight with a sort of loving frenzy that had not met his gaze in ages. Even despite the horrible things he had seen, done, or heard—none of it mattered. He was a father, and, as far as he was concerned, his children had the best mother he could ever ask for. As the subject grew dark, his eyes shadowed, although a sort of joy remained bubbling at the surface. “I’d like to see them try. Fireflight, I’d slay every wolf in this forest if it meant letting you live.” He paused, blinking. “…granted, that sounds darker than I was going for, but… still… Fireflight, you’re always going to be my first choice. Please don’t doubt that.” |

Fireflight was shaking her head again, the tears coming down harder now. She looked at him with an incurable pain, agony in her heavy heart. She sighed softly and turned away, though she didn't go far. Merely, she was pacing in deep, dark thought as Euphrates had done earlier. She didn't believe it. Not a word. How could she?
"You would've left me! You would've left me back there, and now that I have something of value to you, you want to stay? I wasn't value enough? I valued you, Euphrates! And yeah, I get it, you miss your family, but what about us? I mean, before today, I never once questioned you but now you have be questioning more than just you, you have me wondering if everything I've ever believed in is ficticious!" She sat next to him, eyes despairing and lonely. "I pray for them if they have to grow up in a world as cold as this. There used to be fire in this life, but I don't feel it!"

He backed up onto his paws, startled by the sudden shift in emotion. It shocked him out of his blissful reveries, that was certain. The uncomfortable weight of their previous conversation suddenly came tumbling down, crashing around him like a tidal wave. The dam had broken, and it was flooding over.
He glanced down at his paws as she spoke, thoroughly wounded, but not about to deny that he didn’t deserve it.
I didn’t mean it that way… you just caught me off guard… Fireflight…
“…I didn’t… I mean, who said anything about ‘wanting’? It’s never been that I don’t want to say, Fireflight. It’s been on whether I should stay, and the pups don’t change what I’ve already said. I don’t think I could kill my family, Fireflight. But if they ever tried to hurt each other?” He shook his head. “If anyone ever tried to hurt you… Fireflight… honestly? Most of the Destinians… they aren’t terribly important to me.” He glanced about a bit, an almost incredulous attitude overwhelming him. “And… and I know that sounds horrible, Fireflight, but really… Sumer is gone. Destiny is gone. The only reasons for my coming here are gone, and have been gone for quite a while now. Fireflight, you’re the only thing that’s kept me anchored here. Please, I’m… I just don’t want to lie to you, Fireflight.” Even though it’d be easier. “I was just… asking… if you wanted me to leave…”

Fireflight sat again, now next to him, and leaned on his shoulder despite the tensions between them. Her eyes were tired, and though sadness was still heavy in them, there was also a small sparkle of hope. "But why would you think that I wanted you to leave? That's silly. Almost as silly as all of these god damned hormones. I mean really, what's wrong with me?" For a moment, she looked as if she were going to cry again, but she retrained herself. "Don't you see it, Euphrates? I need you too, just as much. You made me believe in myself, believe I could lead them...." Her eyelids fluttered dazedly; against her will, she was beginning to suddenly doze off. "I love you...I need you...."(bipolar wolves ) |

Suddenly, she was beside him again. Treasuring the scent and the feel of her skin against his own—the sensation of mutual trust and the assurance of protection—Euphrates sighed. His maw drifted of its own will to caress her head against his chest. All at once, it was peaceful. The doubts and horrible realizations could wait; they had absorbed most of the night already.
As of now, he had grown tired of them. He had grown tired in general.
“I love you, too,” he murmured. “And, as for hormones, isn’t that natural during pregnancy? I mean, do you know when you got pregnant?” Well, duh, it’s when we… uh… He blinked, swallowing the slight blush that burned beneath his coat. Just… never mind. “…what will we name the little girls and guys, I wonder?” His eyes drooped with a similar haze, and he was overcome with the need to simply curl up beside her and sleep.

Relishing in the feeling of his warmth around her at last, Fireflight fought the rushing waves of tiredness. I'm sleeping for two now....maybe it's a good thing I stayed back from the battle. I probably won't be at too many fights until the pups come...but I think I'll be able to have a beta take care of it. She laughed softly at his first questions and nodded. "I suppose. And your family seems to have a liking for the exotic names and mine...well, my family was a bit unique as well, I suppose. My parents' names were Quigly and Priya." She rubbed against him, lingering in his embrace a moment longer before standing reluctantly. "We should go back in the den, it's far more comfortable."

Euphrates obliged, shaking off the temporary chill that settled when she pulled away. Together, they slipped into the privacy of the den. He gazed at the walls—hellish chambers moments before, now friendly cushions for a drowsy couple. How wonderfully convenient.
Settling himself onto the earth, Euphrates smirked a little. “Exotic? Well, alright—as long as we don’t name one of them Quigley, I’ll be fine, hehe. But if we want to carry on the tradition… hmm… how about Cleopatra? Or Ramses?” He smiled, musing over future identities, and content to simply lay beside his one and only.

Fireflight trailed tiredly after her mate as he padded into the den that was more theirs than just hers. She circled once, the cuddled up next to Euphrates in spoon formation. As she nuzzled close to him, a calming effect passed over her and left her hazy and dizzy with happiness. She smiled at Euphrates' names. "They're strong names," she commented with approval. "They'll make fine warriors. Hm...what do you think of Hatshepsut?" She tilted her head back slightly to look at him with warmth in her eyes. Her tail wagged ever so slightly. I'm going to be a mother, and you're going to be a father. We're going to be...a family. The delayed rush of joy eneted her heart and she continued to gaze up at Euphrates with increasing wonder and awe at it all. It's a miracle. Maybe a common miracle, but a miracle all the same.
(idr the other one you wanted xD)

((kk, now I got them sorted out xD))
“Beautiful… Imhotep. Maybe, Isis…” He nuzzled her fondly, as if afraid that separating their bodies would cause the world to collapse. And maybe it would. Just another reason to stay here. “…heh… how did I get so lucky…” He sealed his eyelids, no longer pressured by the need to gaze at her. Just her heart so near his own; it was enough to banish any illusions of doubt or the reality of pain. Just her. His muscled were soothed, as was his soul.
Healing.
