Rain’s eyes slowly opened and he took everything in, the feeling of Mountain’s arms wrapped around him in a loose, yet loving embrace, the soft light of the sun filtering through the curtains, and the - not as good - tiredness from the previous day that still haunted him.
Rain took in the steady rise and fall of Mountain’s chest against his back, he always found it to be a grounding feeling, knowing that his mate was right there with him.
Then, he felt Mountain begin to wake up. Like many other mornings, the taller ghoul first took in Rain’s scent, then held onto him tighter. Rain smiled and looked up at him. “Morning, lilypad”
Mountain replied with a quiet nose, which made Rain chuckle. “Are you tired from yesterday too?” Ask Rain, earning a small nod from the taller ghoul. “Can we stay here today?” Mountain finally spoke.
“Yeah,” said rain as he turned around in the taller’s arms and nuzzled into the side of his neck. He knew they wouldn’t be moving from the bed in at least a few hours.

Rain was exhausted, completely exhausted as he sat on the rocking chair in the corner of his room. He had just spent the whole night doing what was probably the most painful and tiring thing he had ever done, yet it was also the most rewarding, because now he got to hold his little child, his pride and joy, Drizzle, a small, day-old water ghoul. All of this while Mountain undid their previous nest and brought in a bigger mattress.
Rain was smiling as he wiped the dry tear steaks that had dried out on his face. Peace, finally, after having problem after problem with the pregnancy, after having to deal with Sister, who was trying to get them to give the kit to the clergy. Peace finally reached them. Sister’s death had been chaotic for most of the ministry, but for Rain and Mountain it had only meant that their main problem was finally over.
Mountain finally finished struggling with the mattress and putting it in place, he then turned around and walked over to the rocking chair, getting on his knees to kiss Drizzle’s little head, “he’s finally here…” He whispered as he looked up at Rain. The water ghoul nodded as he smiled at Mountain, “should we start with our nest?”
To that, Mountain nodded, “how about I hold our little Drizzle for a bit while you pick out the blankets and stuff?”. Rain gave Mountain their son, and carefully got up with his mate’s support. He moved to the pile of blankets and other fabrics that they had put there the previous morning for this exact moment.
Rain started sorting through them, he kept a few blankets and his plushies from their previous nest, but picked up some shirts and blankets from the other members of their pack, he loved feeling close to them too. Mountain looked at Rain fondly, seeing how his partner picked up things from the others warmed his heart a little bit.
When Rain had everything picked out, Mountain moved to him, and helped him start to build their nest, first the blankets, forming a bowl-like shape on the mattress with them, then, Mountain let Rain arrange the other fabrics to his liking, and put some other blankets of his own.
Rain took a deep breath as he looked at the new nest, it turned out nearly perfect, there was only one thing missing. When Mountain changed Drizzle into a different onesie, Rain grabbed the old one, and put it in the nest too, then, it was finally perfect.
Mountain turned around with the, now changed, Drizzle and got in the nest. And like that, the small family fell asleep, holding on to their small son.
