Kat smiled fondly as she revelled in the warm morning rays that shone through from the entrance of her den. She yawned quietly before glancing around her-she was the only one up. On her right was the warm, sleeping body of her mate Ashes, and snuggled into him, the slightly older pups from their first litter. Nestled peacefully into her stomach was her most recent litter-a bundle of furry bodies all snuggled together into their mother for warmth. She heard a slight grunting noise and turned her head slightly and noticed Ashes’s emerald eyes flicker open.
A slow smile spread across his face as he gazed up at her and mouthed ‘morning’ at her before glancing back at two of their children who were sprawled on top of his back. He gently got up, accidentally rousing the two pups on his back and the third snuggled into his side as he did so.
“Good morning!” The loudest squealed as she yawned and slid off her fathers back. Kat shifted slightly, realizing that the newborn pups were stirring now.
“You shouldn’t yell like that! You woke them up!” Kat scolded gently as the young pups began squealing and crawling and clawing at their mothers stomach.
“She didn’t know Kat.” Ashes grinned at her. “She’s not used to having extra babies around.”
Another of their pups, a male, poked his head over his mothers back and watched them suckle at her stomach. “Yeah. But they’re pretty loud themselves. They squeak a lot."
“But they sure are cute!” The female piped up.
“When will they be old enough to play with us mama?”
“Soon.”Kat promised. “When they’re a bit bigger. Right now they’re too small to even leave the den.”
Ashes grimaced. “I dread the day that comes. Having to keep an eye on you lot AND the four new devils.”
Kat groaned. “I’m just dreading when they start teething!”
All three of their eldest children burst out laughing before turning their gaze longingly towards the suns rays shining through from outside.
“Can we go outside and play?”
“Alright, but stay where we can see you.” Ashes watched as his three children scampered out, squealing and giggling before turning his head to nuzzle his mate affectionately.
“Seven kids. Gonna be hell keeping an eye on them all on days out.”
Kat rolled her eyes but she smiled. “Seven little devils. We’ll manage I’m sure.”
“Let’s hope they don’t take after your tendency to wander off daydreaming.”
Kat frowned. “I don’t wander off daydreaming! And let’s hope they don’t take after your tendency to starting fights.”
Ashes smirked. “Hey, the fuzzballs were born to fight. It’s in their blood.” His smirk faded into a soft smile as he gently laid his head on her back, looking at his four new children. “And they were also born absolutely beautiful.”
Kat giggled. “You’re turning into a sap.”
Ashes smirked back at her. “Our kids seem to have done that to me. Don’t speak too soon though. I’m still as devilish as ever.” He raised his head and chuckled.
Kat rolled her eyes at him.”Sure, Ashes sure.” Her ears pricked at the sound of her children arguing about something insignificant, which made her snort. “And seeing as I can’t move at the minute, it would seem it’s your duty to break up the drama out there.”
Ashes grimaced and stood up, beginning to walk out of the den before Kat called him back. “Oh, yeah, Ashes?”
“Mmhmm?”
“No more babies.” She stuck her tongue out at him.
He grinned back at her. “Not promising anything.” And as Kat opened her mouth to reply, he quickly made his exit.
