Some family art of @pink-noah Typhon & my Echidna having an emotonal moment as first time parents with newborn puppies Orthrus & Cerberus.
(Echidna sobbing while holding newborn Cerberus)
Typhon, looking concerned while holding baby Orthrus: Echidna what’s wrong?! Are you still in pain?
Echidna: Our buh-babies are so beautiful *sobs*
Typhon: Of course they’re beautiful they take after you. This little one even looks a bit like your brother, Geryon.
Echidna: But I c-can’t…*sniff* I can't kiss all of their little faces at once! I j-just love them so mu-uuch… *Sobs*
Well Echidna just gave birth so she's still a little hormonal & emotional. Like wise Typhon is probably worried about his wife & babies. Sure Echidna is immortal but pregnancy & childbirth is still risky espically considering she has a snake tail instead of legs she would have difficulty moving during her last trimester. Also giving birth to babies with multiple heads just ouch 😬.
Sure Orthrus & Cerberus grow up to be large & fierce like Typhon, but for now his first born sons are vulnerable & blind little puppies that need their parents to protect them! Even with his formidibal repution Typhon still probably experenced first time dad anxiety of trying to figure out how to safely hold his newborn sons. Trying to gently cup his first born son in his massive clawed hands, he's so soft & small smelling of milk, but this tiny blind puppy feels safe enough with dad to fall alseep in his palm.😭
