Ayita

Ayita was getting older and she had not had any more children since the year prior she was busy helping her king and spending some time with the ever growing family she had three grandchildren and more on the way. She wondered how Jiva was doing and hoped that the boy would take some time once a year or maybe twice to see her. He was the one that she helped deliver she had held him first so much like his mother yet the spirit to roam from his father. He truly was a Catori his attitude and will to be on his own said it all. She sat in her rocking chair smiling as she rocked herself almost to sleep.

The Catori woman dreamed about her brother a man she held so near and dear to her heart. Though she tried never to let it slip that she was missing him or felt as though she was still upset by it. She was falling into her older age nicely and taking on the role of a grandmother and great grandmother if that were to happen while she was still alive. She hoped that Jiva would have children and bring them to see her. Though maybe she would make the trek north to see him. She would do it while the weather was nice yes she would see the growing boy who wasn’t Grammies baby any more.

Amaranth

Amaranth nearly flew down the stairs fallowed by two children that were growing quickly they called to their mother as they ran past her and stopped in front of her. “grammy grammy, we’re going to pick flowers! We’ll bring you some!” They said overly excited as they both ran off giggling and having a good time. Amaranth ran a hand through her red hair that now cascaded down her back. “Oh mom, look at those two.” She said smiling chuckling a bit. She was young but Amaranth had truly fallowed in her mother’s foot prints. She was a great mother maybe she had not been with Jiva she was young she was instable she had not been prepared and fallen into depression.

Liliac eyes looked at her mother, “They are just like they’re father they have such a love for the outdoors and all they can get their hands on.” She said as she looked away and moved to the door as she shut it she sighed. “It had been almost a year now since he had past she looked at the door. “Mom I remember helping him raise this door. It took us hours because he cut it wrong.” She laughed as she ran her hand over it. Her uncle did have his own way of doing things and she always tried to stay out of his way but it seemed like the things he did just made her want to do them too.

Ayita

Ayita looked at her daughter crystal blue eyes watching the girl who would always remind her of Leon. She nodded. “They are wonderful and I love having them here Mara.” She said her voice low and calm. She loved having the two here helping her cook or reading. They brought her flowers and loved her. Her children were all growing up Liam had moved out many months ago. Though he still lived in the pack she wondered if he and robin were mated or not. He never really seemed to talk about much to her. Ayita would never try to pry either if he wanted to tell her then he would and that was that.

“Mara don’t you don’t want to dig up bad memories besides, everything gets a little better someday we’ll all be together again.” She said as she smiled looking at her. She wondered if Skoll and Hati were home she had been busy earlier looking at her eldest she smiled. “Have you seen your brothers? Or sister?” She asked as she smiled.

Amaranth

Amaranth shrugged as she moved over to a chair. “No I haven’t sorry” She said as she settled herself down into her seat taking a moment to breath. Being a mother again was defiantly something she was enjoying but also they were a little over six months and running around with a ton of energy. She had such a hard time keeping up and she wasn’t even that old. “Geez mom how did you keep up with all of us I’m young and I’m still kinda tuckered.” She said looking at her mom who only chuckled a bit.

Took conrol of the kids; hope that's okay. xD /sswm 439


The weather had been perfect these past few days, and Skoll spent a lot of his time basking out in the sunlight. To those who knew the golden prince well, it came as no surprise, but others called him out on teenage laziness. In reality, though, the young man meant well and spent a lot of his time helping his mother and sister around the house when he was not doing something related to the cavalry for his father. It was just that the Haskel-Catori residence felt crowded sometimes, what with the children constantly getting into trouble, especially now that shifting had unlocked new opportunities for them. He did not think that he would move out anytime very soon like his older brother had, but it helped to take a break and just lay outside.

Today, however, it was so peaceful that he had fallen asleep while sunbathing—and was woken from his nap by a foot on his stomach. Grunting, the wolfdog sat upright and glared at the pups who were grinning back at him. Of course, those he sought to avoid would find their way to bother him. He loved the children dearly and was excited to help take care of them like Liam had taken care of the younger trio, but was it too much to ask for a break?

“What d’you think you’re doing?” the boy demanded, though his stern voice faltered and a tiny grin betrayed his amusement.

One of the kids barked happily. “We’re gonna pick flowers for Grammy! Wanna help, Unka Skoll?” And with those beaming eyes and that wagging tail, he didn’t think he could deny them, no matter how far they had to walk for flowers.

The young canines grabbed the freshest and brightest flowers they could find and made their way back to the house, the children running around the sun prince’s legs, almost tripping over each other at one point. He didn’t think there was a time when he hadn’t been that full of energy; even now his endurance had grown into a great asset, and it was hard for him to tire out (at least physically, though mentally was another matter altogether). He laughed and helped usher them through the door once they reached their destination.

“Hey Mom, Mara,” Skoll greeted affectionately, squeezing his large body in through the doorway; he wasn’t a towering giant, not quite reaching seven feet, but he was a healthy size as was expected from his bloodline. With his trademark cocky-but-kind smile, he pulled his hands from behind his back and offered the two women a batch of flowers he’d specifically chosen.
