[later tht night, Wander slowly stirred as he heard his little litter whimper for their first meal]
Wander: [slowly gets up, hissed a bit at the stitches, then tries to find the feeding tubes tht his hat provided him a week before the birth, fumbling in the dark]
???: (hands him the hat)
Wander: [felt the hat n takes it] Thanks... [startled a little as he turned on the night lights to see who it was]
Terry: (had been sitting there) Sorry, didn't want to alarm you.
Wander: [sighed in relief] (phew) Hv u been sitting there all this time? :^)
Terry: No, not too long. (shake)
Wander: Wat r u doing here in the middle of the night tho? [digs his hat]
Terry: I wanted to check on you, you've been sleeping for a long time.
Wander: Well, I did just give birth to 8 pups (giggle) [found the tubes, then lowered the crib railings before fixing the suction cups onto his nipples n puts the nipple tubes into the litter's mouths]
Litter: [calmed dwn n suckled hungrily]
Terry: :)
Wander: [sighed n leaned against the crib so he could feed them] Can I sit on ur lap? I'm still feeling a little tired
Terry: (nod) Sure.
Wander: [waited for Terry to come over to him before he settled onto his lap, leaning his head n his bk against Terry's chest comfortably, watching the litter suckle] Thanks
Terry: :) Anytime.
Wander: [felt some slight movement against his bk where Terry's middle was] :O Woah... R u...?
Terry: Yes... I am. :$
Wander: Wow, since wen? U nvr said anything. Does Grimm know?
Terry: A few weeks ago, but I do plan to surprise Grimm about it. ;)
Wander: Wow, congrats :) [looks at the litter] I think I've decided on their names. I hv been for a while even before they were born :)
Terry: But has Hater suggested a name he'd like?
Wander: Yeah, he wanted one of his girls to be named after his mother Anguish. Even after wat she'd done to his family, I guess he still loved her
Terry: (nod)
Wander: He also wanted to name them Hope n Miracle, coz he thinks it was a miracle for me to hv so many pups at once, n he wants our litter to give me hope that things will get better
Terry: (nod) I like those too.
Wander: [looks at the litter, then strokes the hybrid babies] That'll be ur names, Hope n Miracle [strokes the girl Skeletor] N ur name, Anguish, while u [strokes the boy Skeletor] will take on ur father's name Hater Jr
Terry: :)
Wander: N u will hv ur grandpapa's name Angel [stroke the boy angel nomad] n u the female version of ur brother's name, Angela [stroke the girl angel nomad] U will take ur grandmama's name Wildflower [stroke the girl star nomad] n u will be called Wildfire, coz of ur fiery fur [stroke the boy star nomad n giggled]
Babies: (coo at their names)
Terry: :)
Wander: [leaned bk again, then his eyes stared at the snow globe] U think... U think I'm gonna be OK...? Will I ever be a good mother, even without Hatey with me...?
Terry: :) I'm sure you'll do just excellent as a mother. Hater would believe in you too.
Wander: Yeah... I guess ur right... (yawn)
Terry: (giggle) Someone still needs their sleep.
Wander: Sorry, ur lap feels so comfortable, n I think... (yawn) ...nursing is taking a lot out of me... (tired)
Terry: :) It has. (helped him into bed and and with the litter)
Wander: Thanks... Stay with me...? Just till I fall asleep...?
Terry: ... (nod) Alright.
[as Wander closed his eyes n fell asleep, n after Terry helped to burp the litter once they're done feeding n tucked them all in before he left, the new mother slept thru the night, feeling the warmth of the arms of his beloved in his dreams, n smiled in his sleep, knowing tht he'll be alright, whatever the future holds]
THE END
