LOSS
By
Stephan Glazer
10 March 2334
Stephan awoke to the trembling small fur nestled between him and his first mate Nati. Solarblaze was meeping and crying and holding him tightly, hir tears had made damp spots on his night shirt.
The cub was dealing with the loss of hir mother, as was he was dealing with the loss of his mate, Sunrise. Further more today was Solarblaze's birthday, and the first one without hir mom.
Nati had promised to do something special for the cub.
Stephan stroked the cubs head and back gently, making hir murr and snuggle closer to him, shi reached up and licked his chin.
Illumanati stirred and kisslicked hir step-daughter, then started grooming the cub.
<So, what do you wanna do today sweety?> the foxtaur asked of the chakamil cub.
Sniffling, Solarblaze looked up into the duel irises of the herm vixen, and started nuzzling at hir bosom. Smiling, shi pulled hir top down so the cub can nurse, drinking the milk.
Stephan smiled and nuzzled his mate lovingly, as his daughter was getting hir morning breakfast, which was now a daily routine since the death of Sunrise. Solarblaze needed to comfort and security of hir father and stepmother.
Then Stephan started crying again, hugging his mate and second child to him, his body shaking with sorrow and anger.
"So, you're mated with one of those dead freaks, eh?" Snarled a human first sympathiser when Stephan left the morgue after identifying the remains of his beloved Sunrise yesterday.
"Leave me alone." Stephan growled, pushing past the human.
"Let it be known, that the lord will judge those who would defile the purity of the human species, and will be cast down in the pits of hell, and the offspring will be skinned and burned to show that they are the heathen beasts of mans creation, and not those of the almighty lord...." The human gurgled his testimonial religious outcry, when Stephan elbowed him in the throat. He would have killed the human, if it wasn't for the police officers responding to sympathiser's ranting, and were about to escort him off the police property.
Fortunate for Stephan, the police officer in charge knew of his situation and ordered him home, much to the despair of the injured human, who demanded that Stephan was arrested. But after a stern warning from the officer, and a subtle threat that included an airlock and deepspace, he reluctantly vacated the area.
<It's alright my love, we are here.> Nati murred, kisslicking Stephan's cheek and forehead. Hir tail draped over his waist, covering Solarblaze's lower body as well.
In the room adjourning to Stephan and Nati's, a small foxtaur cub was hugging hir pillow, sobbing and burying hir muzzle in the fabric and drenching it with hir tears. Shi was coming to terms with the loss of Sunrise as well, the sweet caring step-mother of hir step-sister.
A morph adult opened the door to Stephillum's room and walked in, sitting on the bed and reached down, Voxanna caressed and murred to the young cub, who disengaged from the pillow and hugged hir tightly, nuzzling into hir ample bosom. The herm fox morph just smiled and hummed hir family song, calming the foxtaur by stroking hir ears and head then hir backs slowly.
"There there sweety, we are here for you. All of us." Shi replied, murring softly when the preteen cub started nursing on hir breast, something shi hadn't done since hir mother weaned hir when shi was 3. But Voxanna didn't mind, the milk that was reserved for Crysteen would replenish itself in due time.
Hearing the cry of hir daughter in the other room, Voxanna picked Stephillum up and carried hir there, and proceeded to nurse both cubs, Crysteen suckling on hir left nipple, and Stephillum on hir right.
