Garth impatiently paced outside the den of his mate's parents'. Occasionally, cries of pain followed by encouraging chants of "push!" or "You're doing well!" carried out from inside the cave. The auburn furred male wolf paused as he usually did every now and then looking into the den murmuring the sweet name of his mate, "Lily." He continued to look longingly at the opening that was separating him from being near his mate. "You can do this," he told himself. Giving a half smile, Garth resumed his pacing, gradually carving a trench into the rock in front of the cave's mouth.
What felt like hours later Eve emerged from the den looking tired and worn out. Only then did Garth notice that he could no longer hear Lily from inside. A slight panic settled into his throat as he choked out, "Eve, is Lily-"
"Lily is fine, Garth. She's just resting now" Eve gave him a soft reassuring smile but held a devious glint in her eyes. She continued, "Though I must say, hearing my daughter feel so much pain made me want to sooth her first. Then come find you: first to rip off your tail with my teeth, then shove it where the sun don't shine and second to rip off your limbs and beat you as hard as I could with them until you either passed out from blood loss or pain."
Garth stared at the psychotic she wolf holding his breath, hoping her threat would not come true.
She continued, giving him a wholehearted smile, "But she needs you to help her raise those two beautiful pups of yours." Eve turned back into the cave whisking her tail to signal her son-in-law to follow her inside.
Inside the warmth of the cozy home, Lily was lying on her side against one of the stone walls looking weak and breathing heavily. Lily's father, Winston, was sitting near Lilly and smiling. "I'm a grandpa!" Winston sounded excitedly, looking down at the two squirming, blind and deaf cubs that were suckling milk from their mother.
"I knew you could do it, Lily." Garth came inside smiling. He nudged the fur covering his mate's eyes away with his snout. "How are you feeling?"
"I feel better now you are here with me." Lily licked her mate's nose for a quick kiss. "Are they not the most beautiful things you have ever seen?" she referred to their newborn pups.
"One of the few things I view to be the 'most beautiful' for me. You will always be the first most beautiful wolf that comes to my mind."
Lily giggled at Garth's compliment, giving kisses to both of the little angels. "What about names though? We have one boy and one girl."
"Well for the boy I thought of Tony Winston. You know, after both our fathers?" Garth said meekly. "I'm not too good with the whole 'picking-out-names' thing."
Lily shook her head. "No, that doesn't fit for him. I would rather name him 'Ethan'."
Garth smiled nervously, "A perfect name. And what about 'Melody' for our daughter?"
Giving a smile, Lily laid her head down on her paws. "Melody is such a pretty name."
Garth laid there beside his beautiful, white furred mate.
"You should rest. Your body is strained from birthing two pups." Eve said yawning herself.
Lily closed her eyes softly, drifting off into a dreamless sleep followed by Garth and both of the newborn cubs.
A/N: Okay wonderful people who took the time out of their lives to read this little thing that has been brewing in my mind for a while. I have it all thought out! It is now just a matter of putting it into words and then getting criticized by my WONDERFUL EDITOR HLK (Or also referred to Humphrey Loves Kate) to get it out there for all to enjoy. He is an AWESOME writer for the A&O universe! But anyways, check out his stories as well, I hope to update quickly, but with my life... HA! It will be a miracle if I can update at least once a week. But Please leave a review! More reviews I get the more focused I'll be on my writing. But if you just want to bag on this and say that it is horrible, well that is your opinion. Might slow me down but I'll keep writing it until it is finished! At least I hope. Okay! Now down at the bottom is that nice little "Leave a review?" box! GO! :3
