@CALICOSLIFE @JovialSylvan — filling another bowl with it. The steam is coiling above the ceramic dish when he sets it on the coffee table.
⠀⠀⠀”I’d wait for it to cool before drinking. Are you able to shift? I think some of my pre-maternity clothes will fit you.”
@CALICOSLIFE @JovialSylvan ⠀⠀⠀”Our pup is staying the night at our friend’s house because this one is due soon.” Daehyun refutes, placing his hand on his belly. “She’s not on her way tonight. You need to rest and eat. It’s not a burden on us.”
⠀⠀⠀He returns to the kitchen to retrieve the broth, —
@CALICOSLIFE @JovialSylvan — starts heating up the broth, poking his head out of the kitchen every few minutes to make sure their guest isn’t dying.
⠀⠀⠀He brings out another bowl of water, taking the empty one from his husband’s hands.
⠀⠀⠀”Don’t drink too fast, dear. You’ll make yourself sick.”
@CALICOSLIFE @JovialSylvan ⠀⠀⠀Beef stock can hardly be considered soup but Daehyun fears this poor shifter will make himself sick if he eats anything solid at this point. He’ll make sure once this poor omega has had some nutrition, that the first solid foods he has are ones that taste good. He —
@JovialSylvan @CALICOSLIFE — water. Is he a shifter or just some dying wolf you brought home?” Daehyun waddles into the kitchen, his stomach extended with a new life a few weeks away from being born. He’s not even supposed to be on his feet, really.
@JovialSylvan @CALICOSLIFE ⠀⠀⠀ To say that Daehyun was confused when the scent of his husband accompanied by another wolf approached his front door was an understatement. Calian brings home strays often enough for it not to be too surprising, though.

@JovialVerdant ⠀⠀⠀⠀He smiles, relieved that his little girl isn’t threatened by the baby. Horror stories are shared about the elder sibling’s feelings towards a new child and he wants to do his best to make sure that Rayen knows she’s loved. He continues braiding her hair.

@JovialVerdant He presses a kiss to the top of her head, neatly patting her hair on two sides with his fingers. Daehyun hums softly while he works, playing with the tune of a classic rock song.
“Petal, what do you feel about the baby? It doesn’t make you sad, does it?”
@JovialSylvan Daehyun smiles shyly into those enthusiast kisses, hands coming up to frame Calian’s jaw and guide him to his lips each time.
You’d be hard pressed to find Daehyun complaining about /any/ kind of back breaking from Calian.
@JovialSylvan “A nap? Sounds great.” Daehyun laughs, though the way he sways his hips playfully indicates he knows exactly what Calian wants and that he’s very willing.
