Lilly's POV
We had all finshed eating breakfast and were just relaxing now. The pups were laying on Cody's lap and he was gently rubbing their backs, both of them purring. Naomi was asleep and Mom was almost too.
It was around noon when I was starting to get bored. I looked up at Cody and said "How about we do something today?" He smiled and said "Like what?"
"I don't know...I'm just getting kinda bored." I said. He nodded and said "Do you still want that bath?"
"Oh, yeah! I completely forgot about that!" I said, giggling. He chuckled and said "Alright. Eve, are you still awake?"
"Yeah, I am. What's up?" She asked, smiling. "Could you watch the pups for a few minutes? Cody's gonna give me a bath real quick." I said.
"Sure, no problem!" She said, sitting up. I smiled and said "Thanks, Mom! We won't be long, I promise!"
"Alright then. I'll keep an eye on them for you." She said, laughing a little bit. Cody picked them up and set them by her, both of them curling back up and going to sleep. We got up and went down to the bathroom and he started the water, getting it warm for me.
I sat down and felt my stomach, feeling it was back to normal. I giggled and said "So, do I look as good as I used to now?"
"What do you mean? You always look amazing!" He said, smiling. "Aw, thank you! But at least now I'm not quite as big." I said.
"Yeah, you're back to being slender again! You're still sexy as all hell!" He said, laughing. I blushed a little and said "You really think so?"
"Yes, I do! You, love, are the best looking, most sexy girl I've EVER seen!" He said, kissing me. I smiled and said "You're too sweet to me..."
"Nobody can be "too sweet" to you...You deserve nothing less then to be constantly reminded how much you're loved!" He said, stroking my back. I purred and said "Well, you know, eventually I'll get tired of hearing it."
"Maybe. Even then I'll keep telling you...Okay, water's warm!" He said. I nodded and hopped in, feeling more relaxed already. I smiled and closed my eyes, feeling him massage my back and sides as he got me clean.
"That feels amazing..." I purred, my tail wagging. He chuckled and said "I can tell! You're getting excited, aren't you?" I smelled the air and could smell my scent, making me giggle and say "A little...I can't help it. You do that to me!"
"You have the same effect on me, you know! Of course, you know it's not what I want. It's what you want..." He said, kissing my cheek. I smiled and said "I know, but that doesn't seem fair to you. Why should it always be what I want?"
"Because you always come first, no matter what." He said. I giggled and said "Yeah, no kidding...Always happens like that!" He laughed and said "True! You know all I need is for you to be happy."
I nuzzled him and said "There's no way I could be happier then I already am! Everything is just so perfect to me!" We started kissing while he kept washing me until I rolled over so he could do my chest and stomach.
He smiled and said "Have you noticed your cute little nipples aren't so little anymore?" I giggled and said "Yes, I have noticed that! Did you like them better that way?"
"Kinda. I guess I just like them smaller." He said. I smiled and said "Well, you'll just have to get used to it then! I doubt they'll go back to before."
"Oh, I know. It's okay, I think I can get used to it." He said, massaging my chest and stomach. I closed to my eyes to enjoy it more and was purring from the nice feelings. He was scrubbing my stomach when he suddenly pinched one of them, making me yelp a little.
"Hey, what was that for!?" I asked, smiling. He chuckled and said "Because I wanted to. Why, did you not like it?"
"I didn't say that...I kinda did, actually." I said, blushing a little bit. He smiled and did it again, this time making me moan in pleasure a bit. "That feels pretty good! Better then before!" I said, feeling warm all the sudden. I was really starting to enjoy it and get more and more excited when I reluctantly stopped him.
"Babe, no...Mom said we can't do this quite yet..." I said, feeling a little upset. He nodded and said "It's alright, I understand. I know why we can't...I was only trying to make you feel good." I smiled and said "And you were doing a really good job! It's just I can't yet..."
"And we don't need to until you're ready again. I'm not going to force you and you know it..." He said, kissing me. I giggled and said "I know...One thing I love so much about you! Don't worry, in about a week or so, we can do it again. And believe me, we WILL!"
"Anything you want, my sweet girl..." He said, stroking the side of my neck. I purred and said "Thanks, babe...I only see one little problem, though..."
"What's that?" He asked, smiling. I smiled too and said "In about a week, the pups will be getting their eyes open. We definately don't want them seeing us doing that."
"Yeah, there is that...We can be discrete, I'm sure." He said, reassuring me. "Discrete?" I asked, a little confused.
"Secretive. Covert..." He said, chuckling. I laughed and said "Oh, okay, I got it. Are we about done here?"
"Sure, love. Let me rinse you off first." He said, spraying me down. When he was done, I hopped out and shook dry and he finished getting the water off with a towel. I smiled and said "Thank you for that...I feel much better now!"
"You're fur has a nice glow to it! So beautiful!" He said, kissing my nose. I giggled and said "Aw, thank you! More so then usual?"
"Maybe just a TINY bit..." He said, smiling. I giggled again and said "Okay, sure...A tiny bit."
"What? Don't believe me?" He asked. I smiled and said "I didn't say that. I'm just sure you mean I look way better then usual."
"You can never look better then you already do! You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, wolf or not! The fact that your fur is clean again just makes you think you look better." He said, kneeling down and kissing my neck. I purred again and said "That's really sweet! How about we go back out to the living room now?"
"Okay, love." He said, standing back up. We started walking out of the bathroom when I felt some of my fluids running down my leg. I blushed a little and said "Can you wipe my leg off real quick?" He looked and saw it as well and smiled, saying "With a towel or what?"
"I don't care." I said. He chuckled and wiped it off with the towel in the hamper. I smiled and said "Thanks...Didn't want anyone seeing or smelling that."
"You're welcome! Come on, let's get back out to them." He said. I nodded and we went out to the living room where everyone else was. Mom smiled and said "Well, took you guys long enough! What took so long?"
"We were talking for a little bit." I said, looking at the pups sound asleep with Mom. I smiled and said "Were they asleep the entire time?"
"Yeah, mostly. Lupa woke up for a minute to move around." She said. Cody sat down on the couch, almost laying on it. His legs were taking up the rest of it and I said "Hey, there no room for me!"
"Sure there is! Come on..." He said, smiling. I hopped up next to him, just barely standing on the edge. "Lay down on my chest..." He said, holding his arms out to me. I giggled and carefully moved over him, laying down like he said. He put his arm around me and said "See? Told you there was room!"
"Okay, okay...Now what about the pups?" I asked, smiling. Mom picked Dakota up and handed him to Cody, who laid him down between my forelegs and did the same with Lupa. I nuzzled them and said "Well, I suppose this works..."
Mom was giggling and I turned to look at her, saying "What's so funny?" She laughed and said "It just looks so funny how you two are laying!" I blushed and said "Mom! We do this all the time!"
"Oh, I don't doubt it!" She said, laughing hysterically. I sighed and said "Not like that...Unlike you and Kevin!" She instantly stopped laughing and blushed madly, making me giggle.
"Ah ha! Hit a nerve, did I!?" I asked, smiling at her. She weakly smiled and said "M-maybe..."
"Oh, just admit it! I know what you two do!" I said, trying to embarass her and it was working! She blushed even more and turned her head, softly saying "It's not how you think it is..."
"What do you mean?" I asked, now a little worried. She smiled and said "We don't just enjoy it...It's completly mindblowing!" I blushed now and said "Oh, come on! Did you really need to say that?"
"What's the problem? We're all mature enough to talk about that. Well, besides Naomi, but she's asleep." She said, looking down at her. Sure enough, she was passed out and snoring a little.
"That's not the point...I don't need to know about you two's love life!" I said. She giggled and said "Okay, then I won't say anymore. But just know this...Ever since we met, never ONCE have I been in a bad mood! Unless you count mood swings, which he said don't count. You remember how I'd be upset a lot before?"
"Yeah, kinda..." I said, thinking back. "That's because I was never as...satisfied then." She said, smiling. I blushed again and said "I know I'm gonna regret this, but...why?"
"Your father didn't have as much energy as he used to. That and his back usually hurt him. It just got to the point when we only did that on occasion. Maybe once or twice a YEAR!" She said.
I nodded and said "I suppose that makes sense...And you never thought about finding some other wolf?"
"No, of course not! Okay, sure, he couldn't do as much as I needed, but I wasn't going to leave him over that! We loved each other more then you can imagine!" She said.
"I know, Mom...It's nice to finally know why you were always upset, but I never thought it would be because of that." I said, smiling. She was too and said "Well, I'm glad! Sorry if that grossed you out too much."
"No, I'm fine. I am a little sleepy now, though..." I said, yawning. She nodded and said "Yeah, I am too...I think I'll take a little nap until tonight."
"Okay, so am I. When were you guys planning to head back to Glacier?" I asked, laying my head down. She smiled and said "Tonight."
"Oh, okay. So early?" I asked. She nodded and said "Yep. I figure we'll be there by tomorrow morning, just in time for breakfast."
"Sounds good! I was hoping you guys could stay a little longer in case we need some help..." I said.
"I know already that you two can handle them on your own. Besides, you'll still have Cody's parents here, too." She said. I smiled and said "Yeah, true...Well, at least you guys were here before they were born."
"I wouldn't of missed that for ANYTHING! I'll always be there for you and Kate when your pups are being born!" She said, smiling.
"Well, I don't know about Kate...We haven't seen her for a while. For all we know, she has pups already!" I said. Mom shrugged and said "Possibly...If she does, then I wouldn't be upset or anything. Just thrilled!"
"Me too! Well, I'm gonna get some sleep. I'll see you in a little bit!" I said, closing my eyes. She yawned again and said "Okay, honey. See you later!" I fell asleep after just a couple minutes, the pups curled up against my neck.
Cody's POV
Lilly, Eve and Naomi were all asleep on the couch. Dakota and Lupa were as well, curled right next to Lilly. I was gently stroking Lilly's back and she was purring in her sleep. I kissed her forehead and quietly said "I love you, Lilly...So much!" She smiled and, still asleep, said "I love you too..."
I chuckled and laid my head against the couch, just relaxing for a while until they were hungry. About ten minutes later, Lupa started to wake up. She sniffed around for a second and then shakily crawled up to me, wimpering a little.
"What's the matter, baby girl?" I said, gently rubbing her back. She nuzzled my hand and curled up against it, squeakily purring. "Oh, you just wanted to lay next to me..." I said, smiling. I gently rubbed the side of her neck with my thumb, making her purr even more.
She fell back asleep a couple minutes later, still purring. Right about then, Naomi woke up and saw Lilly laying on me, but didn't see the pups at first. She blushed and turned her head, saying "Oh, sorry! I didn't realize you guys were there!"
"Naomi, it's okay. She's asleep..." I said, chuckling. She looked back at me and said "Oh, okay...I thought you two were...nevermind..."
"No, we wouldn't do that right here. Especially with you and Eve right there." I said, smiling. She giggled and said "Good, because that'd just be weird!"
"Maybe a little. You sleep good?" I asked. She nodded and said "Yeah, pretty good for just a quick nap. Where's Dakota and Lupa?"
"Right up here with us." I said, showing her. She smiled and said "They're just so cute! They're the first pups I've ever seen!"
"Yeah, they are pretty cute, huh? Just think, someday you'll probably have your own!" I said, making her blush.
"That would be pretty nice! But not for a LONG time!" She said, smiling a little. "Probably not as long as you think. Someday you'll meet a nice boy who really loves you...Your Mom and Dad probably won't like him at first, but they'll just want to be sure you're safe." I said.
"You really think so?" She asked. I nodded and said "Of course I do. He'll probably love you just as much, if not more, then your Mom and Dad love each other."
"Then that'd be a lot!" She said, giggling. I smiled and said "Yeah, it would be! They really love each other...You know how happy she is, right?"
"Yeah, I do...Just between you and me, I can hear them at night, if you know what I mean!" She said, smiling slyly. I chuckled and said "Well, it's not something to be embarassed or upset about, you know."
"Oh, I know. I've even told them I can hear them, too. She talked to me about it already." She said. I nodded and said "Well, that's good. If you get uncomfortable, you can always go out for a bit. I'm sure they'd understand."
"I do sometimes, actually. Mostly just for a walk." She said. "As long as you're not totally grossed out by it. If you are, you should tell them." I said.
"No, I'm not. It's no secret that they mate, I know that. I sleep in a different part of the den anyway, so it's not like it bothers me much." She said.
"Alright, I'm just saying..." I said, smiling. She giggled and said "I know, and I know what you mean. Sometimes I think I should, but keep myself from doing it. It would only make us all really embarassed."
"Yeah, there is that...Well, I'm gonna get a little sleep until dinner time." I said, yawning. She nodded and said "Okay, I'm gonna go outside for a minute and then just relax a while."
"Need me to get the door?" I asked as she walked over to it. "Nah, I got it now. Thanks, though!" She said, standing up and pushing the handle down. I laid my head against the couch and closed my eyes, drifting off to a happy sleep.
Okay, so that's the new chapter! I felt it was good enough to post, so I did. Like always, let me know what you think! I won't put a new one up for a few days until after Christmas! So, until then, Merry Christmas to all!
