away. Celeste jumped at Lara, trying to get picked up again.
I walked a few feet away and sat down in the snow. "Girls," I said. "Come here."
Celeste didn't stop jumping at Lara. Rebecca turned to face me but whined.
"Come on, baby," I said, holding out my hands. "Come to Mommy Fox."
Rebecca took a tentative step, sinking into the snow. She jumped back, bumping into Elisabeth's legs.
Scarlett and Angel were hanging back, watching from the steps, but then jumped down and ran over. They each flopped down in the snow, one on either side of the path between the babies and me.
Rebecca looked over at Angel, saw her tail waving back and forth, and immediately pounced on it. Celeste was immediately distracted from jumping at Lara, saw her sister gnawing at Angel's tail, and decided that looked like fun. She jumped on her sister.
"Celeste," I said in a firm voice. "Come to Mommy Fox. Now!"
Both girls froze. Celeste turned to me and began plowing through the snow to me. She crawled into my lap with her ears back and tail down. I picked her up and looked into her face, then kissed her nose and set her back down in my lap. She licked my hand.
Celeste jumping on her had distracted Rebecca from Angel's tail. Seeing her sister get a kiss, she wanted one too. She bounced over to me, leaping nearly straight up with each step, trying to avoid the snow. Angel and Scarlett both chuffed their amusement. Lara was beaming broadly at our little girls.
Finally Rebecca was close enough and she made one final bounce, landing on my feet, and then she crawled into my lap next to her sister, looking up into my face. I picked her up and gave her a quick kiss.
Then I picked up some of the snow and said, "Girls, this is snow. It's fun to play in. And you can eat it." I took a bite of the snow, then offered it to the girls. They each took a bite, but then reared back. They hadn't expected a cold bite of snow. Both of them lapped at their mouths. Then Celeste leaned forward and took another bite.
"Angel and Scarlett, do you want to play in the snow?"
They both chuffed and immediately climbed to their feet. Scarlett threw herself at Angel, and the two of them began chasing each other around, biting at the snow, throwing a lot of it around, and occasionally tackling each other, rolling over and over in the soft snow. I turned the babies around to watch them. When Angel ran past, Scarlett on her heals, Celeste leaped from my lap, chasing after Scarlett.
"You have a tail, Scarlett," Lara said immediately.
Scarlett looked over her shoulder and saw Celeste gamely chasing after her. Scarlett slowed down and let the wolf pup catch her. Celeste made a pounce for Scarlett's tail, but Scarlett spun around, grabbed the squirming pup, and rolled over with her, shielding her inside her legs, coming to a rest with Celeste perched across her chest.
Angel ran to me and bowed to Rebecca, then turned and flicked a tail at her. Rebecca leapt from my lap, and Angel kept her busy, pulling her tail to safety only at the last moment.
Soon the four of them were taking turns chasing each other.
I heard a camera clicking. When I looked up, Francesca was taking photos, a smile plastered on her face.
There was a howl from our cabin. Lara chuckled, and Elisabeth ran up the stairs to let the rest of the girls out. They stepped outside and all chuffed happily as Celeste and Rebecca both stalked Scarlett, burrowing through the snow rather than jumping over it. Scarlett feigned indifference, and we all watched as the two pups launched themselves at her at the same time.
We watched as all five teenagers played in the snow with the two little pups. The games had been going on for a while when Scarlett let the two pups catch her again, ro lling onto her back with both pups on her chest. She looked at the pups for a moment, then growled at Angel, who was just about to leap at her. Scarlett gently rolled over, dislodging both pups, then grabbed Rebecca by the scruff and carried
