any children are welcome to post here! @Euphemia @Aurelia @Dalmatia @Tiberii :)

He still could not believe that he was a father. To four girls nonetheless, the very gender he had no fuckin' clue about -- Olive was someone that he felt as if he knew inside and out yet still also she was a mystery. It was strange but perhaps that was love, he thought. Tiberius had settled himself in the den where usually Olive might have laid, circling himself around the girls as he gazed down at them in their slumber.

Their mothers beauty had been passed on and he was praying to whatever fuckin' God he could that none of them would take after either of his siblings. That would be... it would be soul destroying, he thought, but where his siblings hadn't had any correction, Tiberius and Olive would be there to snuff out whatever bullying behaviour might come from any of the girls. It was unlikely that they would be anything like them, what with all the positive role models around them but Tiberius couldn't help but fret.

"Ain't nothin' gonna ever 'appen ta yer," he murmured, knowing that he would go to the ends of the Earth for those he loved and adored. Only now, the list had grown by four. ^^

They were older, just shy of two weeks. The attempt of opening their eyes could be seen — like a stickling of so, an ugly look to say the least but the brood wasn't ready just yet to see the world. Although it was safe to say if they could not see, they would feel. Fawnlings, gently and moving as they went by clumsy, not even getting one step before falling face-first. But their muscles could move, and the soaring and desire to string along was there ; at least, so Euphemia tried.

A wormling in the midst of the den that attempted to move toward anything that seemed warm, and the closest that was, was her dear daddy.

He was alert around them whilst also being calm, wanting to be there should anything go wrong. They were funny little fuckers, their legs young, unbalanced and untrained to withstand their little baby bodies and would topple over when attempted. Nothing had come from it, no blood baths and it had settled within Tiberius quickly, knowing that he had been at that stage once in his life too.

Euphemia was the most active today, it seemed, doing everything she could to get closer. He rumbled a chuckle as he watched her, intrigued by the little girl. "Yer determined, ain't yer, lil luv?" The titan mused as he leaned his head to  her, offering his cheek as her guide if she desired to come closer. ^^

Over the weeks since their arrival, Dalmatia was definitely the most dramatic. There were times when she'd squeak at nothing, startled by a huff of a parent's breath over her ears or by the sudden movement of a sibling at her side. She didn't like to be disturbed while she slumbered, and would cry for what felt like an age if one had the audacity to ruin her sleep. If Olive and Tiberius had hoped for a peaceful life following the birth of their daughters, they'd been sorely mistaken.

On that particular day, she was especially emotional. A single eye had cracked open and Dalmatia was sensitive to even the dim light of her family's whelping hollow. She whimpered softly to herself, not at all appreciating the discomfort and blinking repeatedly - so much that tiny tears streamed down her spotted cheek.

Though not saved for one, at least Euphemia was a rather calm one, only crying out for prominent needs or otherwise warmth. She bathed in the love and comfort that was felt from those around and abhorred everything that felt of a cold wind, always trying to bury herself in the pile of littermates and parents. Such small joys that defined a life, and furthermore the engravement of a loving family..

Although could not really speak or knew much, she knew within her heart how much she wanted and nuzzled closely in her wobbly form to her father. Though the crying, much more then a usual tone, had Euphemia look over curiously. She couldn't see correctly, blurrs of so but the air stirred uncomfortably that had the young start making her way to the spotted sibling. A toppling to her, and over — cuddling, perhaps? Who knew.

Aurelia, meanwhile, occupied herself by squinting mercilessly at the dim shapes and bright figures that wobbled across her limited vision, scowling at fragmented bodies shifting through the fresh haze of sight. She was frustrated; she wanted to see more. She knew she should be able to. Why couldn't she?

With a soft, cranky, whine-grunt, she searched for her siblings, hoping to find either common cause or comfort. Perhaps they, too, shared her plight.

"Yer determined, ain't yer, lil luv?" came the deep rumble from who she knew to be father. Her floppy ears twitched, and she proceeded to plop-wobble very precariously toward the source of the sound, scooching along the floor like a discarded beanbag.

 So many sounds, so many new adventures today. Tiberii was asleep and then awake as she heard the sounds of father. Her little thumpy tail would twitch in the beginnings of a happy young wag as she toddled towards him and her siblings. Then plop, would fall upon any and all that she meandered over to. There would be a smile and happy little bork. Family was nice.

It was something incredible to watch, a new father with his babies. Especially with a father so fearsome and protective, and puppies so small and delicate. The sylph found that she loved to watch him look at their progeny almost more than she loved to gaze at them herself; there was something so enticing and satisfying about knowing that she (and only she) had provided something of such value to him. What could possibly be more valuable than one's genes, and the change to pass on a lineage? 

Her eyes blinked big and slow, barely able to contain the emotions that washed over her, seeing at how interminably bound these six souls now found themselves. A family, brought together by change — by fate, if one chose to saw things that way. It was certainly how Olive saw the unfolding of her life, from tragedy to beauty to the next and beyond. Breathless and thirsting for everything that lay just before her, the new mother, utterly steeping in a miasma of hormones and mother's milk, sashayed over to the titan and their puppies.

"It's such a wonder to see you with them," she cooed, eyes brimming with the emotion the reflected in her voice. Momentarily the Priestess wondered if her Chieftain thought of her as the most weepy woman he had ever met; but still, she continued to commend him "I had no idea how naturally you would take to fatherhood," and she pushed her nose against Tiberii, inhaling deeply the scent of the small mini-tib.

He couldn't help but chuckle at each of them. Oh, Dalmatia had started to prove that she was the most emotional of them all, tear-touched and vocal about it. Particularly delicate, she was, but no less loved. The twins were as bold as each other as they opted to move and shuffle, learning their bodies -- just like Tiberii, the girl coloured the most like him. She toppled over, joining the fray as the girls became a pile of fur and faces. He snorted, "wait until yer get use of yer legs, girls. Yer gonna be dangerous lil'things." For him.

For his sanity.

He leaned to touch his nose to them all, leaning over the three girls to scoop Dalmatia up where she cried and tucked her to his chest, guarding her between his two legs that the other girls thought to use as their base. "Sh now, 'lil luv, is alrigh'," he cooed, ears twitching to the sound of his heart cooing. Olive. He smiled small but full of warmth as she nosed Tiberii, "ah, it ain't feelin' natural. Confused as all 'ell, luv." He divulged with a small chuckle as he shuffled on his belly, patting the ground next to him with his tail as he bade her to come snuggle to his side.

"Wouldn't change a thing, though," he murmured, thinking he had won the jackpot in love and life. ^^
