Changing of the Guard -||- [Kakela]
@dearkanga
Akela had Rhea. Had offered to take her while Raksha did the shopping. He had the day off, and while he could be in the forest, Akela would freely admit that he loved spending time with the baby. It was an Alpha’s duty, after all, to provide the education for all the young pups. Men were not excluded from helping raise the children. He had changed diapers and sang songs and read books and taught them the ways of the wolves and forest.
But, he was also handing her off to her father because he had work in an hour. He had tried to get his shift changed, but it was not happening. No one could take it. And Mowgli was working as well.
Which meant a distasteful visit to the hospital.
He strode in, feeling immediately out of place amongst the machines and sterile environment free of any nature besides that of humans.
“Uhm, excuse me,” he said, tapping a woman near the nurse’s station on the shoulder with the hand that was not tucked under 8-month-old Rhea’s bum where she sat on his hip. “Do you know where Nurse Bhediya is?”
