This is my first time writing a heartwarming story between bigwig and pipkin.
i imagine pipkin at some stage misses his mother, and bigwig being like a father to him.
so I made this little fic between these two. I hope you enjoy it.
I also named his mother violet because I thought it would be very fitting for her.
i don't own watership down.
Pipkin was looking at the stars, thinking about his friends and mother...
'I wonder what you are doing up there right now' pipkin thought sadly
Pipkin didn't noticed someone hopped beside him... "Are you alright lad?" the voice asked.
Pipkin looked to see who the voice was. It was the owsla captain, bigwig.
Pipkin sighed "I'm... fine bigwig"
"Hmmm... You thinking about your mother?"
Pipkin sniffed "yes... I miss her... I wish she was with me"
Bigwig sat next to pipkin and hugged him close"I know lad, but remember although she is not really with us now, she will always be here" he said while pointing to pipkin's heart.
"R-really, I just... I just wish she was with me right now..." Pipkin then burst into tears.
Bigwig hugged him closer "it's ok, don't cry pipkin, We all miss her too. But she left us both a gift" Pipkin looked at him curiously "really? What gift" he asked puzzled. "Each other" bigwig smiled down at him.
"sometimes when we go to another place we are not alone. Our loved ones are always there watching over us. Just like your mother, violet is right now" bigwig smiled while hugging pipkin. Pipkin snuggled up to his friend and smiled.
"I guess that's true, I guess mother did leave us a gift after all," pipkin looked up to bigwig, smiled affectionately.
"I love you, bigwig" bigwig smiled warmly at his . "I love you pipkin, I always will" Pipkin and bigwig were snuggled up to each other while looking at the stars, Noticing a star twinkled brightly, it was his mother, violet.
Violet was watching over them while smiling. "I'm so proud of my little boy, i love you so much" Pipkin thought he heard his mothers voice but didn't seen anyone. He saw his bigwig looking at him smiling,
"heh, I guess it's getting late, we should be heading back now," Pipkin hesitated " um...can't we sleep here tonight, it's peaceful and there no war going on, so please" pipkin pleads bigwig to stay outside,
bigwig chuckled "alright, pipkin but come here to get warm" Pipkin had done what he was told and got closer to him. Bigwig wrapped his paws around him and pulled him closer to keep him warm.
"Goodnight...father" pipkin said warmly, Bigwig was shocked at what he heard, yet he felt warm inside as he smiled at him, grateful. "Goodnight...son...I love you" Both pipkin and bigwig closed their eyes and slept into the springs flowers.
pipkin finally knew that even though his mother are not with him, he has his new family to stick by him
I quite say I'm proud of this heartwarming moment between bigwig and pipkin, I hope you enjoyed it.
