Author's Notes: First of all, I would like to thank those who have reviewed, faved, and followed. Each and every notification I get in connection to this story is very much appreciated, and I cannot stress that fact enough. Truth be told, I was not really thinking on continuing this story until I read the reviews.

Now, to answer your most wonderful reviews:

Hello, oniisan, I am happy to receive another encouraging review from you. Thank you for thinking that I am quite capable of writing from the third-person POV. And yes, indulging the "what-if?" thoughts of our imaginative brains is a most productive activity. And for a multi-chapter story of mine, by just the first chapter, to immediately be followed and favorite-d by you is a first. I am pleased to have achieved this. May this second chapter justify those two actions of yours.

Anrheithwyr, I would like to thank you for pointing out that minor error. I have corrected it already, and I hope that you will continue keeping a keen eye on my works. Once again, thank you.

Five Pies To The Face, as you have wished it... so it shall be done. I hope that you will continue needing more of this story.

Also, thank you 333 and Guest for leaving your thoughts behind.

This new chapter is dedicated to my oniisan and mariko7, dear friends of mine.

And oh yes, I know this chapter is short, and is a simple "fluff" piece. Reading it will hopefully show all of you its purpose.

I hope all of you will read, like, fave, follow, review...etc.

If you want to, of course...

Ursa Major

The Child with Golden Eyes

"Om, Ursa," Li murmured softly, holding a small spoon filled with pureed carrots in front of the aforementioned baby's mouth. "Om nom nom." The golden-eyed child deftly ignored the offer and, instead, chose to raise her chubby arms in the air. She playfully curled and uncurled her tiny fingers as her pink gums and growing front teeth shone brightly in an eager smile.

"Mmm," she cooed happily. "Mmmi! Mmmi!"

Li smiled fondly at the child's determined attempts to say her name before placing the spoon she held into an almost empty bowl. She knew, after almost seven months of caring for Ursa, that the child, regardless of her young age, possessed a very strict and defined eating habit. If she turned away from the spoon, she was done, and nothing would be able to get her to change her mind. And Li had also found it utterly and absolutely useless to try logically reasoning with a baby who could only supply and support her reasons with barely coherent gurgles.

"You spoil her too much, Li," the even voice of the older twin commented dryly from the opposite side of the kitchen table. The younger sister chanced a quick glance at Lo, knowing that she was not as severe as she sounded, before holding out her right hand to Ursa. Golden eyes flashed in curiosity as they stared at Li's slim and outstretched singers.

A small tongue poked out between Ursa's lips in concentration as she seemed to deeply ponder the very existence of the appendage in front of her. Li smiled again and reached out to gently poke the tip of Ursa's small nose. The simple action immediately caused the unnaturally grave expression on the baby's face to fade away and be replaced with another ecstatic grin.

"And you do not spoil her enough," Li finally countered. Lo briefly shook her head in response her sister's claim and sardonically rolled her eyes.

"It is almost … astonishing to see how quickly and easily you," she paused, keenly observing their interaction, "have adjusted yourself into the role of an utterly devoted and doting mother hawkhen."

Li chuckled lightly. "Well," she reasoned, shrugging her slender shoulders slightly. "We cannot both be the authoritarian and overbearing father bearfox, now can we?"

The eyes of the older twin narrowed marginally, sharp gaze attempting to scorch the delicate skin of her sister's hands. Li was aware of the irritation she elicited with her comment and lovingly stroked the delicate curve of Ursa's right cheek before speaking.

"Her eyes," she murmured, gently tilting the baby's face upward. "There is a certain angle in which they reflect the light most."

Lo's hardened gaze slid to the focus of her younger sister's attention and gradually softened. Ursa's delicate lids were raised as high as they could go, revealing her most enthusiastic and expressive eyes, dark pupils dilated. The color in those orbs of hers now shone, so bright, that her irises were like circles of molten gold.

"She is beautiful," Lo said, the slightest hint of fondness in her voice, as she purposely placed her elbows on the table between them. Her hands clasped together, delicate fingers intertwining.

"Yes," Li readily agreed. "She is so beautiful, and she is growing."

Ursa carefully wriggled out of Li's gentle hold and turned her body towards Lo's direction. Holding out her tiny arms, her fingers started to wildly grasp thin air as she stared- almost yearningly- at the older twin. Then, after a short moment, confusion slowly began to appear in her wide eyes. She could not understand why she could not touch, why she could not reach whom she wanted to reach.

"Mmmo," she achingly burbled, noble brows furrowing in sadness. "Mmmo."

A small smile appeared on Lo's face as she disentangled her fingers and stood up from her chair. She could never truly resist the golden-eyed child, especially when her golden eyes seemed ready to shed golden tears. "Mo, is here, darling," she softly cooed to the child, knowing that it was the best version of her name that Ursa could produce.

She placed the index finger of her right hand between Ursa's fingers and smiled when they held the slim digit tightly. Ursa affectionately squeezed it before looking up at Lo's face. "Mmmo," she ecstatically gurgled, smiling and showing off her milky-white teeth.

"She loves you, Lo," Li finally said after a short moment, breaking the silence that had surrounded them. She was smiling as well, happily taking in the delightful sight of her older sister and their child- yes, their child- being a family. Lo cast a slow and understanding glance in her sister's direction before purposely curling her lips into a sly smirk.

"I know," she evenly replied, causing Li to raise her brows. Lo only laughed and leaned forward to kiss the golden-eyed child on the top of her head.

"Do not worry," she soothingly murmured to Li. "Ursa loves you too."

The younger twin's smile grew wider at that statement and the fact that Ursa had nodded her head twice after it was said, as if she were agreeing whole-heartedly with it. She immediately stood up and leaned forward, pressing her lips on the same spot that her older sister kissed earlier.

"Thank you," she said as Lo picked Ursa up from her chair. She gently held the still smiling baby close to her chest and caught Li's gaze. Both of their lips smiled and simultaneously promised.

"And we... love you."
