Cascade laid nestled into her mate, keeping herself warm in a tight ball. Her tail thumped against the ground occasionally, mostly out of excitement. Even in her dream she couldn't control her joy. It was Christmas, or would be when her eyes opened! Christmas. Giving Day. Merry Day. Whatever most foxes called it, it was here, and she was ready. She already had stashed a present for Kafun away in the forest and had prepared a berry meal she hoped he'd like. It would be perfect!
The sound of something rattling awoke her from her peaceful dream, head snapping up and body tensing. She didn't rouse her mate, not yet. Instead, the smaller vixen snuck from his side, padding to the base of their den to peek out. Nothing. Good. She wasn't sure how they'd handle a bear.... they hadn't been eating that well this winter. It was rough, but they'd manage, she was sure.
She was about to turn back into her den when her paw hit against something metal. She froze, blue eyes peering down and widening at the sight before her. Three perfect..... bcrs?! She immediately scooped them up, rushing to her mate and not so delicately pouncing on him.
"Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas! Look! Kafun!" He could sleep another time! Yes, it was dark, but she held on her tail the one present they'd be hoping for for years, even back when they were younger. She pulled on one of his ears before leaping off him, beginning to examine the children with a wagging tail.

Cascade giggled at her mate's response, spinning in excitement. "Yes!" She yelped, bumping her nose against his cheek. He was absolutely right – they were kids! Or, at least she hoped that's what he thought they were. Twirling one more time, the vixen lifted up her bcrs with her tail, tucking the three babies against her stomach.
"Kafun, we're parents. These are babies. We finally did it. We fina–" She wasn't able to finish her sentence, instead bursting into frantic tears as the realization hit her. Pure happiness rushed through the vixen, mixed with relief. She had wanted children for so long, and now here they were, on one of the most magical days ever. She couldn't believe her luck, or that finally she could hold babies, and with the man she loved!

Cascade swung her tail as he focused on their children, body quivering in excitement. She couldn't quite put how she felt in words, and she wasn't sure there were words for her emotions. How long had she wanted kids? How many times had the world denied her them, even when she was certain she was ready? She had prayed and anticipated, and yet the deities never saw her fit. Until now, on Christmas day. Now her present for Kafun seemed forgotten. These BCRs were more then enough, and better then anything else she could have prepared.
"I– are we ready for kids?" She suddenly blurted, her eyes widening in alarm at her own statement. Of course she had doubts. She had never had children – not even adopted children! She was older then most mothers, even! She was far past the time it was expected to have children. What if she was too old? What if she wasn't good enough, or she lost the motherly instincts? Biting back frightened tears, Cascade pulled close her daughter, focusing intently on her colors.
