Lacking Humanity|Blue Moon

Chapter Seven

Dad was just a figure they woke up with and then went to sleep with, maybe a bit of playing here and there. Remus knew he would have to make a better standing, especially since they were growing up before his eyes.

They still had a few hours before the council was set to come and rescue Nathan. So the group of them managed to cuddle up on the couch, Rue haven fallen back asleep on her father with flushed cheeks, similar to her mother's.

They were both burning up and all Remus could do was really keep their temperatures under control.

The front door soon opened, but the sound of slight snores had caused Hayes to silence his actions. Though Remus turned over the couch and eyed the male.

"When's the council coming?"
"Within the next three hours." He nodded, and asked if he would be able to use the shower here. But he didn't leave until he snuck a kiss to his daughter and then headed up the stairs.

Sage stirred a bit and peeked an eye open.

"Do you want some soup hun? Maybe that'd make you feel better, chicken broth?" She nodded, and mumbled that Blake kept the recipes in a binder.

"When Council is done, are you going to tell me where Blake and Raven go?" She said, and Remus stilled like a deer caught in headlights.

"I'm not dumb, Remmy."
"I never thought you were. But you're busy and caring for so many things at once, it isn't fair to load everything onto you. He's with Raven and her coven, she needed to heal among her people." She pouted all the same and nodded.

"So Blake's not coming back?"
"The last time I talked to him, he said he wanted to learn the basics on Witches so Raven won't be so alone here...We're not equipped for a witch's needs." Sage nodded, but she still felt saddened that nobody told her.

And that she didn't get to say goodbye.

Remus should've realized that bombarding her with everything at once would act worse than telling her as they came, so as he stood in the kitchen trying to follow Blake's recipe—He spoke out loud on his plan to do better.

Yet his wolf felt like everything was working against them, which sent him to be threatened to the couch further.

Can you hear that wolfie? He's mulling it over.

Papa says that a lot, is that good or bad?

He's thinking about what you said, about keeping you involved. Which I a hundred percent stand behind, by the way. I know you were busy with the pups, but you were waiting for Blake for how long?

Too long, but I'm not dumb.

Not dumb hun, never dumb. Just busy. And with the council coming, we should practice what you're going to say, right?

Or if you say something sassy and smart and I repeated it? I think I need a lil more sleep.

Alright alright, I think we're better at winging it anyway. But that soup is smelling great, what a thoughtful mate.

Mate in doghouse.

She felt Darius laughing through their link all before Remus introduced her to a wealthy bowl of soup with a side of crackers. She smiled up to him and kissed his cheek.

"I learn to be wolf and we both learn to be mates. Now we're learning to be mama and papa, it's okay. Don't mull it over. You're okay." Hayes eyes burned for what could've felt like the twentieth time that morning, and sweet goddess did Sage look like Willow so much in her life.
