Love Will Take You Places

Her eyes...

DreamHeart had to put tons of webs and poultice on the cuts since I had left them untreated for so long and they were infected. The one across my arm went up to my elbow and was really deep she had to stuff the webs in it to stop the bleeding. She had advised for me to not walk on my paws but I knew the webs were thick enough and my pads were numb from the poultice and my feet were used to the pain by now. I didn't care how much they would hurt after but I was going to see my new pups. I waited until DreamHeart had dozed off and stood up to go see PawStep. I saw Moon near the Nursery sun bathing while her pups played with Storm. They saw me and ran up to me, "Is true that you have a scar on your eye?!" the eldest asked. I chuckled since I decided to start covering my blind eye with webs so I wouldn't scare the new pups since it was disgusting to look at plus I don't use that eye anyway. "Well why else would I cover my eye little one?" "So you can look like a bad-bum!" Moon sat up, "LANGUAGE OASIS!" He shrank down a bit, "Sorry mama," He mumbled apologetically. Then he turned back towards me, "So anyway, can we see your eye?!" The other two joined in, "Yea?! Can we see?!"
"Not right now, I'm afraid it will scare you three. I'll show you when you're older. "AWWWWW!" they whined in unison before reluctantly nodding. I chuckled as I stood and walked towards the nursery. I stepped in and my eyes had to adjust to how dim was in here. I saw the two small shapes of the pups and I felt my heart swell with many emotions for the first time in moons. I noticed the pups and PawStep were all asleep so I crept over to her and just curled around them with my nose pressed to PawStep's neck fur.

An hour or two goes by and I wake up and see PawStep is gone so I stand up and walk out of the nursery. I see her outside talking to Moon and Moon's pups are showing the other pups the camp. I'm glad they're patient with the younger pups, but eventually they'll get bored. At least Violet's pups will be born soon and they'll be almost the same age. I walked over and slowly lied down beside PawStep. She turned towards me and licked my muzzle, "I woke up and saw you but I didn't want to wake you up," she's talking to me so gentle. I lick her ear and then look at the pups, "Have you named them yet?" "I had two girls, I've already named the white one. I named her Frost. What will you name the other one dear?" I looked at her fur she was the same color and Paw but she had white paws, stomach, and muzzle. She turned and looked at me her blue eyes shining and somehow the looked exactly like my eyes. PawStep layed her head on top of mine and whispered, "I don't know how, but she has your eyes. She shows that you're her mother and nothing can change that," she then pulled away and put her muzzle next to mine, "So please don't hurt yourself anymore. Even if the don't have your genes in them or they don't look like you they still have bits of you in them. She has your eyes, and she has your beautiful voice, Frost has your stubbornness, and Frost has a small gray spot on her muzzle that is the same color as your fur. They're your pups; I don't care what nature would say about it, they're yours and always will be. I kept looking at her eyes and a name game to my mind. "I want to name her Brook....they're beautiful," I licked Paw's ear and continued to look at our pups.
