Severely apologize for the lack of art lately, I've been fighting art block and finally getting back to it again! I will get back to working on request eventually aswell but I'm currently focusing on some ghoul redesigns first and foremost (and some dewther of course, I miss em a lot) but yes! Just a little update from my part ⛧

Thinking about more Kit Dewdrop and Alpha.....

Alpha is holding her face-to-face one day, Omega walking in and confused and staring.

"You, uh... You two alright there?"

"She made a noise."

"A noise?"

"Shh."

Omega is now fully invested, joining on the couch and watching. Dewdrop in her own little world, babbling and touching Alpha's face before she makes a little high pitch coo.

"That!! That!! She made the noise again!"

Omega just starts laughing, Alpha even more confused until he explains. "She's calling for her parent. You're not reacting like she wants, so she's trying to get your attention."

Alpha's ears perk and tears filling his eyes before holding her tight. "Appa's here!! Ohh, you're calling me your parent?! I love you so much!!" He's a crying MESS.

Chain once fed Dewy a full, uncut fish and Alpha just watched in pure amazement as Dew just nibbled and ate it raw with her little tail shaking and purring. Making biscuits on nothing and absolutely chowing down. She ended up having the hiccups but eeped sooo hard with the most content belly ever

He looooves reading to her at night. Keeps her on his chest, near his neck where she's still secure but can stay comfy. Feels her breathing and how she chews on her hand, the other kneading on his skin. He's figured out which stories she likes based on how she purrs in her sleep :3

Dew would be walked on Alpha's feet a lot, just babbling and having bouncy knees at everything. Every time someone says hello, and a soft yet excited; "Ohh, is someone walking with Appa? Are you walking?" She just squeals SO loud and bounces more, her skirt-tail ruffling in response

He's learned just about every girl hairstyle there is, and if he didn't know he'd go to someone that did! Alpha was VERY big on making sure he knew what he was doing, wanting for Dewdrop to look the best. He was always willing to learn whenever she'd run up and hold a human magazine to show a hairstyle she wanted!!!

Alpha honestly did the best he could. So many times he would be found asleep against her crib, having passed out from exhaustion but not wanting to leave her alone. Dew had colic for a few weeks, and Alpha would stay wide awake holding her and the vacuum or a mini fan. He'd get super nervous when one of the others took Dew so he could rest, and all it took was sitting him down and he was OUT. He loves Dewy so so much :( that's his baby!!!

Dew missing aether and having one of aether's shirts with him.... had to draw it came to me in a dream (literally . I had a dream about this a bit ago and in my notes where I write art ideas I just wrote "dew in aeths flannel(sad)"😭)

Omg does your Dew have top scars?! I love that!! Instantly became even more of my favorite design!!!

I will be completely honest, in that last pic of him with Aether, those were intended to just be gills

BUT

I thought about it for like two seconds and decided to give him top scars too just because :]c

Thinking about Aether and Dew baby...

This follows Calida's timeline!

CW - Pregnancy, Mentions of past Traumatic Pregnancy (but this is a fluff post!)

It's been a good few years, now. Calida now a rambunctious teenager, the ministry settled down while there's no tours for a good while. It's comfortable! The topic comes up one night, Dew settled in the bed with Aether on their day off together;

"Firefly?"

"Hm?"

"Promise you won't bite me if I ask something?" An eyebrow raise but Dew promises. "How would you feel about another baby?"

"Another?" Dewdrop sits up a little, resting more on the headboard as he grimaces some. "I dunno, Aeth... Calida's was rough as is. I had her early, and all the complications, and just the mental side of it? I'm not sure... Why?"

"Just been thinking, that's all. Maybe something in the air, all the babies I've been helping deliver with the siblings. I dunno either. Just thought, maybe, it would be nice to have tiny feet running through the den again."

Dewdrop just chews his lip and nods, eventually going into silence before going to the bathroom suddenly. Closes the door and stares at himself in the mirror for a bit, so many thoughts racing. He doesn't realize how long it's been until Aether knocks to check on him, Dew opening the door and looking up, holding his breath.

"Okay."

"Okay, what?"

"Let's have another. But on my conditions."

"What- Oh, okay! What's your conditions?" Aether can't help his tail wagging.

"We're gonna go talk to my therapist and double, triple, fucking quad check that this isn't just a breeding thing for you... A-and I only want you, or Phil, or- or just that really nice midwife you introduced me to at the Halloween party, Alexa... If... If I get pregnant again. No one else."

Aether just nods, taking Dewdrop's hand, leading him back to bed. "Those are all reasonable. I can call for an appointment in the morning. Sound fair?"

"Yeah... Sounds fair."

It's about two months worth of sessions, both privately and together, making sure that YES. They want this! Dew is mentally ready for this again, Aether isn't in some kink phase, etc. They even talk to Calida who's more than excited about a little sibling! Dewy gets off his testosterone and starts taking supplements, and circles his first heat for them to start trying. They keep everything quiet for a while, and even more months of failed attempts to conceive. It's about month four when Dew wakes Aether up, sitting on his lap with two positive pregnancy tests.

They're SO fucking excited but keep their expectations mellow. Dewdrop's health has much changed since Calida, plus they don't know if the egg will fully stay intact. Still, it is exciting for Aether to smell how fruity Dewdrop is. Constantly scenting him to see if there's any changes but also to cover the smell around the others. Every night Aether has his eyes full of stars and a gentle hand on Dew's stomach, whispering to Dewy what he sees, how small it is, but still so full of fluids and cells.

Two months, they agree to tell the others. It goes as they expect, excitement and extra affection, a ghoul pile that even Copia makes time to join.

"Have you started thinking about names or anything like that?" Sunny is laying her head on Dew's thigh, smiling SO wide.

"No, not just yet. Things can still change so we're waiting at least until near the end of the second trimester."

"Makes sense," Swiss chimes in. "Does Calida know?"

Aether is the one to laugh, leaning over. "That girl scared the birds away from how excited she got. She was the first to know."

Now, Dewdrop wouldn't trade Calida for the world. But he wishes he had this gentleness when he was expecting her. The kindness and a huge pack so that he doesn't have to strain and try to keep up, that he knew early, how accommodating everything's been. There's times he'll just hold his stomach and look in the mirror, so much deja vu of when he did it in hotel bathrooms while on tour. Speaking to Calida and telling her she was going to be the light of his life, and now he's doing it again. Just another piece for a puzzle he didn't know wasn't completed yet.

He's put on bed rest once more, too many high risks going on, and he starts eventually experiencing... Symptoms.

"What do you mean they're weird?"

"They're just fucking weird, Aether! Just, okay, tickle me."

He blinks. "You hate being tickled."

"I know! Just do it!"

He shrugs and does a little wiggle of his fingers before attacking Dew's sides and armpits. Listening to him squeal and laugh, grimacing and eventually - the TV turns on. Aether is staring at it while Dew catches his breath.

"See? Weird fucking shit! If I sneeze the lights turn on and off, when I get headaches my phone's battery dies, and like... It's so strange!"

Aether whistles a little, rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh we're so having a quint."

"Huh?"

Aether looks him dead in the eyes, but a big goofy smile. "You're having magick surges. Little bit is reacting to you, and quintessence is a hell of a thing. Starts while still in the womb, my mother in the pit had almost the same things happening. Less technology and more of like, levitation. We're having a quint!"

Dew blinks before breaking into cries. "Woah, woah! What's wrong, my love?"

"I'm gonna look like a fucking watermelon you ass-wipe!" Hitting him softly but still crying.

Poor thing isn't even six months yet, but he looks like he's eight! Mumbling about his feet hurting, his legs more swollen than normal, cravings that are insanity to even be thought of. It's when he's in the nursery, tying ribbons on the crib when he gasps at a feeling, holding his stomach... It happens again.

He doesn't even get the full trill out before Cumulus and Mountain are RAMMING into that door.

"What's wrong?!"

But, he's smiling, beckoning them over. Takes both of their hands and puts it on his bump, shushing them every time they try to ask. There's a kick and their eyes go wide, Dew just as much. It's much softer than normal kicks, but that's to be expected from the egg sack still around them.

Then, finally, a gender reveal. Expecting a tiny little girl, Aether excited as he's always been a girl dad, adjusting some of the things in the nursery to match her.

"Teddy."

"Hm?"

Dew is playing with a tiny onesie, keeping his eyes locked on it. "What do you think of the name Starshine?"

"Starshine?"

"Yeah," his thumb going over the embroidered star on the onesie. "For our daughter."

Aether hums, thinking it over a little before he nods. "Yeah... Yeah, I like that."

He makes it to full term, after an agonizing day and a half of his water being broken and no dilation. Clutching to Aether and Mountain, Alexa between his knees to help course their daughter out. Mountain's fur is sticking up from the amount of electricity from Dew holding him, then with how hot he is. There's a bit of a power surge at the final push before the lights come back. Dewdrop sobbing as he dead weights against the two, staring at the ceiling but ears completely focused on Starshine's mad cries as she's cut from the sack.

Good god they though Mountain was furry? That poor girl is gonna need haircuts WEEKLY. Aether and Dew laughing a bit as they're holding this purple blob of fur, some soft white on her belly and in her ears. Hair blonde, just like Dewdrop's.

Mountain congratulating them and helping Alexa clean up a little while the new parents again bask in the afterglow with their new daughter :3
