The Joys of Being a Parent

Angels and Devils

"They are so beautiful. You did very well, my love. Take a rest and let me take care of you all." Sehun shared through their link and licked Tao's cheek gently. A few hours ago Tao had given birth to their beautiful pups: Jongin, who had dark brown fur, was the youngest. Then there was Kyungsoo, the second youngest with caramel colored fur but the tiniest of them all. Yixing, who was completely white and lastly the eldest, YiFan with black fur who was the biggest.

They were lying on the floor in their living room, Tao resting against his mate with his back while the pups were feeding eagerly on him, suckling and making cute, high pitched sounds.

"I am fine, Hunnie. No worries." Tao nuzzled his mate's snow white fur before facing their pups again and grooming them gently "Finally they are here. I can't believe these little things were in my belly just a few hours ago."

Sehun huffed softly because Tao was stubborn once again and didn't listen to him. "It was very exhausting, love. The pups won't mind if you go to sleep for a few hours and look at Yixing, he is falling asleep too."

"Won't they get upset? YiFan, Jongin and Kyungsoo are still awake though. I don't want to go to sleep while the pups are awake," Tao whined softly and curled up around their precious pups. He licked each of their heads and watched Yixing yawned cutely. Their eyes were still closed but they instinctively found their mother's teats.

"They won't, don't worry. And I am here, too. Nothing will happen while you are asleep, I promise." Sehun licked his mate's black fur again and nuzzled him gently. "I will get you some deer when you are awake again and then I will close all curtains so the pups won't be blended by the bright sun light when they can finally open their eyes."

The black omega whined softly again, giving up and nuzzling the white wolf back. "Watch over us well, Hunnie. I want the thighs and back of the deer, please." He licked his muzzle, his eyes twinkling. Sehun just chuckled through their link, knowing that those were Tao's favorite parts, and nudged his mate to finally get some rest.

The omega licked Sehun's cheek one last time before resting his head protectively over the tiny bodies of their pups. Sehun watched his small family closely, his heart swelling proudly in his chest. He just became father of four healthy pups and his mate was still as strong as before, Tao had done very well and Sehun was proud of him. It had hurt to see him in pain while he had given birth to their little treasures and the alpha was happy the worst was over; Now they could completely enjoy being parents.

The first time Sehun had felt them kicking and had heard their heart beats, the white wolf had been barely able to sit still. He had talked to his sons without a break, had told them what he would do with them when they were finally born and grew older. He had done it to an extent that Tao, sensitive with all the hormones, had thrown him out into their garden and let him sleep there for one night like a dog, just to have a peaceful night without waking up to the consant babbling of his mate, although it had been very cute most of the times.

A couple of high pitched squeaks pulled Sehun out of his thoughts. "Aigoo, not even one day old and already wanting lots of attention, huh?" Sehun gently licked YiFan's head and carefully nuzzled his eldest son. Soon after, Jongin and Kyungsoo seemed to have noticed it and squeaked for attention as well which Sehun gladly gave them.

"I thought umma and appa's life was perfect already but you little things made it even more perfect. You have made umma's and appa's life complete now." The white wolf talked to his sons, he knew they couldn't understand him yet but he was sure it had a calming effect on him and would make it easier for them to develop the link between them.

Soon, a quiet, almost silent yawn escaped the pups' mouths as they all snuggled against the soft, velvety fur of Tao's underbelly as the heat and his heart beat gently lulled them to sleep. All Sehun and Tao could do at that one moment was watch them in awe. "Sehun..." His name being said sweetly through the link made Sehun look lovingly towards his mate, he bowed his head a little as if urging Tao to continue and he caught the message. "I love you."
