For Liam! Lucky you, you get the first thread where Eli appears :3 Sorry this is long, I haven’t had any IC posts explaining the circumstances yet so don’t think you need to match this length :p Set right outside Ezra’s home on the water ^^

In the past month, Ezra thought he had lost everything. His unexpected children were born, and with it, immense sorrow surrounded the Rosen clan. Two beautiful, twin children were brought into this world, and by the end of the whole affair, only the yellow-eyed boy had stayed alive. The news hit Ever like a brick wall. Immediately she became withdrawn and spent her days in misery. Ezra felt just as hollow as she; it was one of his own that he lost, too. The darkness surrounding the boy had cast a shadow over the previously happy family. Something was very clearly missing.

Before the birth, the couple had planned on Ever naming whatever females were born and Ezra would name the males. Her name had been Arydia and she was born with the same beautiful blue eyes as her mother. In the dead of night Ezra buried the child beside their beach home, and despite the sole surviving bundle of joy in their home, the couple could only mourn their loss.

Still, Eli proved to be strong and healthy. When Ever was absent during the day, Ezra struggled to keep him under his watchful duo-toned eyes. Ezra stayed in their home, only choosing to leave once the pup had fallen asleep for the night. He tried his best to stay cheerful, after all, this was his own flesh and blood that had entered the world. Eli was a beautiful mix of his two parents; he had Ezra’s husky face and large size, and Ever’s pointed features and sweet personality. The child was stunning, and was turning out better than Ezra could have ever expected.

In the bitter October air, Ezra chose to let his son venture out of the house for the first time. It was an event that Eli’s mother should be around for, but she was gone again. The mottled pup was playing in the living room, on the floor with an old human toy Ezra had dug out of Halifax. He had found lots of supplies for the child right before he was born because he didn’t want to be caught unprepared. The ragged doll was dirty and ripped, but the boy didn’t seem to mind. His baby teeth dug into the fabric, ripping and tearing with childish glee.

Eli, Ezra said carefully, not wanting to excite the boy too much. Shall we go outside today? the pup gave his father a look, and bolted to the door as quickly as his clumsy limbs would allow. Daddeeeyy!!! Ouuuttsayyyyde, was the little boy’s response, and Ezra, for the first time in what felt like years, gave his son a grin as the secui hybrid pushed the door open for his son to walk through.

It was chilly, and the wind from the water hit the boy’s face on straight. He whined, whipped around, and gave his dad a pout. Oh you silly boy, said Ezra, holding back a laugh. He picked the tiny child up in his jaws very carefully, and walked over to the water’s edge before plopping the boy down on the sand. This is nothing, It would indeed get colder very soon. He prayed the boy could handle it.
