So WAFFy it'll make your eyes bleed. Bleed, I tell you.

'It's so small.'

That's the only thing he can think as he looks at the tiny appendage with the tiny digits. They are pink and chubby, randomly waving through space as their owner sorts out this new place with all the different things to learn in it.

'How can something so new be so perfect?'

He doesn't know how something like this ever came to be. It seemed like just yesterday that he was the grouchy, stay-away-from-me hanyou that nobody would come close to, but then…

Then, he had met her, and they had gone through so much together that it was only natural to form a close bond. But it wasn't until the very end of their journey that he realized how desperately he needed that bond. It was the best day of his life when he found out she felt the same. Much as with how their connection formed, it was only natural that after they both admitted it, they solidified it.

He had never had a mate before, someone who would stick by him through thick and thin, no matter what. He had never known how wondrous love could be. But, now he knew, and he wasn't about to give it up any time soon. He thought he couldn't be any happier than he was.

Then the newest happiest day of his life happened. His mate told him that he would soon be a father. (He had already known, because his nose told him the important things, but he wanted to let her have the pleasure of 'surprising' him.) What followed was the 9 months that were both the longest and the shortest of his life. Then the day finally arrived.

His mate gave birth to a beautiful little girl. And as the baby was handed to her father for the first time in a long line of cuddles, she reached up to him with random waves of her tiny hands and grasped tightly to the much larger finger offered her. He couldn't help but smile.

'These are the most beautiful hands in the world.'
