Rambleeee
When the prospect of fatherhood had first come to his mind when his mother had asked him about the chances of her becoming a grandmother, Haven had been nervous. There weren't many things that scared the Knight of the Court any longer, but the ever present shadow his sire cast was always threatening to burst from the background and wreak havoc on his mindset. He had only ever seen the hybrid that was his father once as a young boy and the encounter had been unsettling and tense to say the least. His sister had been scared and he had been cautious and untrusting. Something had not seemed right about the man and when he was on the cusp of adulthood he had found out that his instincts on the matter had been spot on. His sire was a rapist, and a murderer. The legacy of Conri Church had haunted the Aatte boy for some months before he escaped back into the light. At the thought of becoming a father himself though, they had crept back up.
After reassuring words from his sister he had decided to try and move past his fear and those worries were completely vanished now that his children had arrived. Haven could never hurt them, he knew this just as he knew Cour des Miracles was where he was meant to be. The three pups had come to encompass his whole existence and he could not wait to watch and help them grow. They would be raised by two loving, good parents in a strong pack. The blood of Tokyo Chance and Conri Church would not taint these babes, just as in the end it had not tainted their parents. Haven and Princess' fear of becoming like their parents would be their best defense against doing so, as long as they did not let it cripple them. Haven would not let it, and he knew that his mate would not either.
The Seneschal was lost in the small private moment with his son when an accented feminine voice spoke his name. Jades turned to the willowy form of the pack's Apothecary and a large, friendly smile immediately stretched across his maw. "Alaine! It's good to see you too! It's been too long." Indeed, he could not clearly recall the last time that he had really been able to chat with the woman. He had always liked Alaine and indeed he likely owed his life to her skills after his fight with the pale loner.
As she sat down on the floor across from him he espied the pale pup who was easily a month older than his children. Linden saw her too, and squirmed eagerly in his father's arms to get loose. Haven chuckled and set his son down on the ground. "As you can see, I am a new father. This is my son, Linden," he said beaming her. "It seems you have one of your own though. I wasn't aware you had been expecting, congratulations!" The burnt orange boy with the ivory accents bounded awkwardly towards the older pup and barked at her cheerily, his stubby tail waving. The girl seemed quite shy though and Haven doubted that Linden would get the playfellow he desired.
