Midnight And The Baby Snowflake
I can hardly believe it's been almost twelve whole months, but my pups are nearly a year old. They're starting to get pretty big. Everyone tells me that Makenzie looks more like me every day. And speaking of look-a-likes.... I chuckle to myself when I spot the little white ball of fluff that is apparently bound and determined to yank Kiba's right ear off. Eden certainly looks like her father. I think what gets me is that her eyes are sapphire blue, even in her proper form.
Watching her tug, I think back on how surprised we all were when we found out Yasa was expecting. For a minute I actually thought Kiba was going to faint. I guess Tsume thought so too, because in a matter of seconds we were on either side of him. Somehow he managed not to. True Kiba's not exactly father material, but he's getting the hang of it. And it's not as though he's the only unlikely father around....
"But daddy....." "Now Night, don't whine." Speak of the devil. I glance behind me at the small black female pestering Tsume. That was something none of us saw coming. With Kiba and Yasa we figured sooner or later, but Tsume? I remember clearly the day Toboe found Midnight. He'd disappeared on us and Tsume was worried, so of course when Toboe came into view the grey wolf was quite happy. Until he saw what Toboe was carrying.
He had a fuzzy black pup by the nape. And Tsume was ready to have his throat. Where Night really came from is a mystery, but she's definitely a wolf. And like Toboe, she took to Tsume very quickly. I suppose it's because she was so young that she started calling him 'daddy'. By all means they certainly act like father and daughter, with all that bickering.
It certainly is amusing. Almost as amusing as watching Kiba get flattened by his four little girls. Yes, that's right, four. Eden, the oldest, looks so much like Kiba. Then there's Skyler, who's grey with four white feet and a white left ear. Trinity looks like Yasa, such a pale silvery grey. And finally Keegan, nearly Tsume's color, almost too dark to account for by her parents.
Looking back, I find it difficult to believe that just a year ago there was only five of us, counting Blue. Now there's seventeen of us. It's pretty amazing what can be accomplished in one year. Still, I can't help wondering where everything's going to go from here. I glance over at Kiba again and bust out laughing. If nothing else, one thing's for sure, the baby snowflake and her sisters are gonna drive their daddy nuts. My own thoughts set me laughing again, and the big snowflake glares at me. And if he wasn't busy at the moment, I'd be running, that much I know.....
Chaos: Well I hope you liked it. Not much going on I know, but this is kind of just a way to fill in a few details. As I mentioned before the chapter, the giveaway applies to Kiba and Yasa's pups too. And Midnight if anybody wants her. I can only take care of so many wolves and I've already got three adult females. Anyway, until next time, buh-bye.
