Baby Oh Baby!
Part 2: Papa Kiba
"What are we suppose to do with that thing?" Tsume says.
"It's not a thing, Tsume. She is a girl." Kiba says.
"She is beautiful." Toboe says. The baby wolf has silky black fur and lovely golden eyes that sparkle like stars. She nuzzles into Toboe's arm and cries, (mommy)
"You think we can find her mother?" Toboe asks.
"Her mother might be dead" Hige says.
The baby wolf jumps out of Toboe's arms and launches itself right on Hige face. Hige screams, "Toboe! Get your kid off me!!!" Toboe pulls the baby wolf off Hige.
"Why did you say her mom is dead" Kiba says to Hige. The baby wolf cries, (mommy isn't dead!!!)
"No, your mommy isn't dead." Toboe comforts the crying baby wolf.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, it slips out of my tongue. It's just that who would leave her baby out on a cliff? And can't you smell it? There is blood all over the cub." Hige says.
Everyone's heart sink. Hige does have a point. It's unlikely for a mother to leave her cubs behind unless something bad happen. The baby wolf looks so heartrending and fragile. (Mommy will come for Emma) The baby wolf sobs.
"Is that your name, Emma?" Toboe asks the baby wolf.
(Emma wants mommy)
"Let's get a place to rest first. It's getting cold. We can't sleep on ice" Tsume says.
Toboe has a hard time keeping up with the crowd. Emma doesn't let anyone hold her except Toboe, and it's hard for Toboe to keep up with the 3 older wolves with a baby in his arms. The wind on the mountain is strong and the wind chill is far below zero with all the ice around.
(Emma is cold, mommy.) Emma says to Toboe. Toboe is being blow left and right by the wind, and he is shivering at the cold. Kiba sees that and pulls Toboe into his arms. Toboe blinks, "Kiba"
Kiba smiles and pats Emma, "don't worry, little one. We'll get you to a warm place in no time."
Toboe's heart is jumping uncontrollably. He is inside Kiba's arms! Kiba is so strong and so warm. Toboe feels very blissful. He wishes he can stay in Kiba's arms forever. Kiba's continues to hold Toboe until they arrive at a cave.
Tsume says to Toboe and Hige, "Kiba and I are gonna get some food. You two stay here with that thing."
"Stop calling her a thing, Tsume. She is a girl and her name is Emma." Kiba says as he pats the baby wolf.
The baby wolf holds onto Kiba, (Don't godon't leave me and mommy)
"Well, looks like you're the thing's, I mean Emma's, father now." Tsume says.
Hige chuckles at Kiba and Toboe, "well, dad, mom, why don't you two stay with the cub. We'll go get food."
"Hige! stop making fun of me!!!" Toboe blushes.
"Come on, Tsume." Hige gets out of the cave.
"As long as I can get away from here.there is too much cuteness around here." Tsume walks out.
"Come on, let's start a fire." Kiba says to Emma. Emma smiles and jumps out from Toboe's arms.
