WC: 343 OOC: whee time for unhappy times

------

Niro did not want to do this. He was afraid of the reaction he'd get. He has seen disappointment in the leaders face and that was for having children with his Niece... now Niro had impregnated his mate, though there was nothing wrong with it, Vigil had voiced his opinion about her age and being so young. He was having a hard time believing it, but as the days started to grow longer, Amaranth's belly started to grow larger. It was her first litter, and his second, but it still felt like his first, though he knew he was a horrible father as it was. Today he decided if Vigilante hadn't seen her already, to tell him of his step daughter's predicament. Niro needed to calm himself a little, and he made his birds leave him before he headed to his leaders home. He did not need them muddling up his meeting with the king.

Upon getting there though Niro was starting to doubt himself, as he always did. Vigilante was going to kill him... she was his daughter and Niro wasn't so sure the man might take the news kindly. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes he knocked, three times, biting his lip and squinting a little. He had done it... now all there was to do was to wait. He kept telling himself he could do this, there was really nothing to be worried about. Vigilante would understand, he and Amaranth were mates after all and Niro would not abandon her now, he loved her too much. He had not abandoned his other children... nor their mother, he had not really known about any of them and then they were thrown in his life but he iddn't mind that... he minded that he was not allowed to see his girls and now two of them were gone and one he rarely saw even though she lived with him and Amaranth. He was sure this record would be fresh in Vigil's mind.

The King was alone in the house today, though it was an exceptionally rare occurrence. Ayita had taken the boys somewhere and he had been working in his shop, making plans to repair the damage that had been done to the iron fence that surrounded the hotel. It would not be too difficult, he hoped, and as it had been a bit more than a month since the storm had raged through the Miracles territory, he felt that it was high time that he begin work on fixing the damage that had been done. They had been lucky in that the damage to the territory had been minimal, but he wished to fix what had been broken so that it was fresh and new.

Dark ears twitched at the sound of the knock and the King excused himself from the room he used as a shop, closing the door tightly out of habit. The boys were not home and there were no puppies in the house that could accidentally go in there, but it was out of mere habit that he closed it securely. The man walked down the hall in his least often used form, the one that he found most convenient for working with his tools. It would have been difficult to do in his lupus or secui forms. He opened the door, spotting Niro, looking a bit out of place. “Hello, Niro. To what do I owe this visit?” he inquired, as it was not often that the Huntsman would come to his door, and he assumed it was with reason.

WC: 261 OOC: Took me damn long enough!!!

There was no turning back, as he saw Vigilante’s face appear as he opened the door. Niro gave the man a smile, he wasn’t sure if it was convincing, it might have looked like a scared smile, but he was happy to see the man, though he was afraid of what he would do.

“Do you think we could take a walk? If you are available of course.”

Walking seemed to help calm nerves, or so Niro hoped. He wanted to make Vigil as comfortable as possible, but Niro have the biting need to walk, to move his feet while he told Vigilante what was going on. This wasn’t like telling him that he had children by his niece. They were already born and lived away from the pack. This was the leaders daughter, and though they were mated, they were both young, her a bit younger than him, and the pups had not been born yet, though Niro was sure Vigilante would be furious if he came to him after the puppies were born. Thinking, as he always did Vigil knew about his other transgression, which meant he probably saw Niro as nothing but a man with little control over his manhood. This was not true. He didn’t believe that but he kept trying to convince himself. He’d been befriending other females lately and had no desires for them. His piece of mind was not working, he still worried about what the leader would say as he waited for the response of the man himself.

The smile he was greeted with put him in a position of feeling on guard, but the King did not show this. Niro seemed more nervous now than he had ever been when in the presence of the dog mutt, except for perhaps when he had told him of the existence of his daughters, though he had seemed more distressed than anything then. The man nodded in response, offering Niro what he hoped was a reassuring smile. He did not know what was bothering the Huntsman, but Vigilante hoped he could put his mind at ease. He had made an effort to be available to his pack members as much as possible since he had taken on the role of King in the pack, and he was always glad when they approached him about anything.

"Of course," he said, stepping onto the front porch and closing the door gently behind him. There was certainly a purpose for Niro coming to see him, but Vigilante could hardly guess what it was. If he could, perhaps he would not have been so easily persuaded to go for a walk. "Lead the way," he said, referring both to the walking and to the talking. Whatever Niro's reasons were for coming to speak with him, the King would wait for him to initiate the conversation.

WC: 309 OOC: Niro want's to shrink away from his leader XD


He was silent as they started out, he could not speak at first, whatever he thought he’d say to Vigilante had disappeared as soon as the King came to the door, but now he was sure that he could put a little honey over the news he was more afraid to tell the man.

“Well I’m sure it’s good news... really, I found out my sister... she’s pregnant, about to have pups almost any day now...”

He thought that it was ok his sister was having pups but not the pups of that stupid leader that had hurt his sister so much. He wouldn’t mention him because if he did then he would feel obligated of mentioning the verbal fight he had with the large leader. It would have turned into a full blown attack if Niro had not thought about his pack and how much influence he had over it.

And... And I didn’t know she didn’t tell you yet, she normally goes to you first but...

Niro’s mind froze at that second. He stopped both walking and talking before he shook his head and continued.

S-sorry... but Amaranth, she’s pregnant. We’ll be having pups come beginning of spring.”

Niro said quietly, he wasn’t sure how the king would react. He was scared to think of it. He had seen Vigilante angry. He’d never seen him hurt or thrash at anyone though, but there was always a first. There was always something that would get to him, and a possibility of his daughter being pregnant might be it. Niro would be angry if his own daughters had children at a young age. He’d be livid. So he could imagine right now how his leader would think, but he could not tell how he would react.

Orin had been one of the few to take the news of Jacquez's departure negatively, and Vigilante had not felt that she had ever been entirely comfortable in the pack of Miracles. When he had learned of her choice to change packs, he had not been entirely surprised, and though it was sad to lose a member, he hoped that she was happy. "My congratulations to her," he said simply. The pregnancy of his sister did not seem to be what Niro truly wanted to talk about, mere small talk to distract himself from the rest of his thoughts. Vigilante continued to walk beside him until he was ready to speak again.

The words caused him to stop, slowing his pace as his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Perhaps he had simply not heard correctly, for what Niro said did not seem to make any sense to him. The King was normally very calm and level-headed, and perhaps that made him dangerous. He had never killed an innocent—for even his sister had not been, according to the Elders—and the thought did not cross his mind now. "Amaranth is pregnant?" he asked quietly, calmly, perhaps too calm to be believable.

WC:213 OOC: Niro just doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. :X


The sugar coating seemed to work a little, the shock that Vigilante’s daughter was pregnant was quite apparent, but he was still talking calmly. Niro held his breath though, he wasn’t sure this calm was a good or bad thing, his pinky less hand was behind him clenching hoping that there would be no outburst of anger or anything, that this would go by smoothly.

“Y-yes sir.”

He said quietly feeling that formality was needed here, if anywhere. He knew that Vigilante was protective of his daughter, though Niro didn’t know whether or not the man knew she’d been taken by Haku, or anything like that, but now... it was all on Niro, who knew she was young, in fact he wasn’t so much older either. He was quite young himself, but he was one who should have known better.

“I’ll be with her every step of the way, I won’t let her do any of this on her own.”

Niro said confidently. This much he knew. He would never let his mate go at this alone. He would be there every step of the way. He was as much as he could already, and trying to provide for her and his unborn children.

It was plain enough to see why the Majordomo had mentioned his sister's expectant state first, though it was forgotten almost immediately by the King, pushed to the back of his mind by the prominent news of his daughter's pregnancy. Amaranth was far too young and emotionally fragile to be having puppies of her own. Vigilante knew this, and it seemed obvious enough that Niro knew this, too, or he would not have been so nervous about telling his King. Perhaps he would have reacted differently if it were his daughter standing with him and not Niro, for he would never show any angry, aggressive, or rank-related behavior to Amaranth. It was not within his capability as a father to do that, even if she was not his by blood.

He closed his eyes, jade hidden from the world as he fought to compose himself. The dog King bristled at Niro's continued words. "Of course you won't. You'd regret it if you did," he growled quietly, eyes opening. Vigilante would not allow Niro to step back and hide from the responsibility of being a father to Amaranth's puppies. It had been because of Lolita that Niro had not been involved with his daughters, but that would not happen this time. "So my niece and my daughter. Anyone else?" he asked, watching Niro carefully, his expression grim.

WC: 308 OOC: Big Grin


The silence was worse than yelling, it didn’t give Niro anything to grasp onto, so when Vigilante spoke it felt like the king had froze every part of Niro’s body. The words were like venom to the man, and he could tell that Vigilante was angry. Niro was still nothing more than a pup to the man next to him and he moved submissivly, knowing it was the time to make sure that he showed Vigil he’d do anything for the king, no matter what. That his daughter was not going to be alone, not in this ordeal. The next thing Vigilante had to say made Niro cringe. He had looked at it that way, and he had worried about it, but he knew deep down that he was Amaranths’ only. He just didn’t think it would actually be thrown back in his face.

“I’ve a faithful wolf. Amaranth is my mate, I would never go behind her back.”

Which was true, in fact, he hadn’t even known about Vigil’s niece until after she came with the pups. He remembered meeting her yes, having a drink with her yes, but anything after that, no. He knew something happened now... now that there was proof, but it wasn’t like he’d already been mated to Amaranth at the time... to anyone. He could understand where Vigilante was going, and couldn’t blame him, yet he felt he should, because he’d not been with any other females besides Amaranth since he asked her to be his mate. He couldn’t really say anymore though, his defense had been put up, and it was up to Vigilante to believe it or not. He doubted it, at least at this moment he doubted the king would want to see Niro as a good wolf, not after he announced Amaranth’s pregnancy.

You can post again or I can archive it, up to you!

Niro and Amaranth seemed to be like yin and yang, but they seemed to suit one another well. Later, after he was given time to accept the news that his daughter was pregnant at such a young age, he would realize that there was nothing awful in this. Yes, she was young, but he trusted Niro enough to be her mate, and he knew deep within that he would trust him to be the father of her children, his grandchildren. Later, all would calm down and the King would realize that it was a good and exciting thing, but at that moment in time, all he could think of was how young she was.

"Good," he said, his tone still tense. The dark-masked King did not wish to continue walking with Niro now, and he needed time to consider this news. "I should go." Emerald gaze turned away from the Huntsman as he spoke. "Take care of her," he warned. He would visit her soon, but the words needed to be spoken. If Niro did anything, anything that his daughter did not like, the King would have something to say for it. It was not his usual way of behaving, but he turned and began to walk away then, his thoughts rapid.
