Okie, let's get this moving along! People are still free to jump in if they haven't yet, but figured we should move forward 
500+
The fire crackled pleasantly behind her and she was anxious to see who would be the first to join her. She didn't have to wait too long for the answer though, as her sister descended the stairs and walked casually into the room and took a seat by her side. A smile had already been on her face, but it instantly grew larger at the sight of Ghita. As she sat down Savina offered a loving nudge with her muzzle, emeralds sparkling up at her littermate. "It would seem s-" she began to answer, but her words were cut off by an excited exclamation. One brow rose in confusion, searching for the owner of the young voice, when a large ball of black and white fluff exploded onto the scene. Savina couldn't contain a happy laugh at her nephew's antics, wondering if his father had been similar as a pup. As her identity was questioned she simply shook her head, lowering her face down to Aro's level. "Why Aro, I'm your aunt Savina, don't you remember? I suppose you were still pretty little when I last saw you..." Pup's memories could be fickle things in development.
Sounds of someone entering the manor distracted the Commander and her head rose back up just as Jazper came into the room, all smiles. Her tail wagged contently behind her as she watched the father and son, so happy that the kindly giant had finally gotten the family he had always deserved. Better yet, it was her own family! It was true she had been hard on him when the news of Ghita's unexpected pregnancy had first been revealed, but all that was in the past now and nothing remained but happiness for the couple and their two pups. "Greetings Jazz, I'm glad you could be here." Being the pack's main defense she knew that he was often busy, but it was good he could take the time to come to this gathering.
The door opened again, though it was clear this time that it was more than one pair of feet walking inside. The scrabbling of little paws made the woman's heart pause and her breathe held in her chest. Green eyes grew wide in anticipation at getting the first glances at her three little nieces and her other nephew. Ehno easily slipped into the group and then his first hesitant pups followed suit. Savina's tail was now beating at a frenzied pace, taking on a mind of its own. She had worried so that she would never see these beautiful faces and now that she was her heart was filled to bursting. She listened carefully as her brother introduced his children, her smile wide and warm. Once he was done speaking she lowered her head to look at each of them more carefully. "Hello to all of you! I'm so glad to finally get to meet you!" The woman hoped that they didn't have any negative, preconceived notions of her. That would surely break her heart. Her gaze lifted back to her brother. "No, you're just in time." No words were said, but her eyes perfectly conveyed how happy she was for him and how much it thrilled her to see his children.
The Italian fey's attention was again diverted as Sophia crashed into the meeting, looking like she had just gone for a mile run. She could definitely see both Jazper and Ghita in their two kids and she knew that the pack would be in for quite the ride as the two got older. There was no doubt in her mind that they would be a feisty pair that would give their parents a run for their money. Finally, her heart skipped as Kansas made his way into the group, coming to sit by her side. A happy whine came from her as he kissed her on the cheek and she returned the gesture forthwith. Looking back out on the wolves assembled there were some missing parties, but seeing so much of the family gathered together made her heart soar. "If only Mamma could see this," she said softly to her siblings. "She would be so happy." Savina felt a little moisture collect at the corners of her eyes at the thought, but pushed it a way. This was a time for celebration, not sorrow.
