Devin laughed as he listened to Nina's family banter back and forth, feeling oddly comfortable with them. He liked her family a lot, and he could see bits of her mother and father's personality within Nina herself. He was also glad to see that being here with her family was helping her so much. His mind went back to the subject of kids, since it seemed to be popping up a lot here lately. He had never really thought of them until the tragedy with Nina, but now that he did think about it, the more he loved the idea of having children with Nina. His girl was obviously the mothering type, and he knew she would be so good with kids. There was the distinct possibility, however, that she wouldn't be able to have them. It broke his heart to think about that, but it wouldn't mean he would leave her. He couldn't imagine his life without her in it. If she wanted, they could adopt. He knew it wouldn't be the same, but it was a possibility all the same.


Sare smiled as she followed him over to the few empty chairs left in the crowded, noisy room. She laughed at the grin on Iggy's face, and Elysia giggled as well as she gurgled something out before screaming her answer. Sare only laughed more as she leaned over and bit Iggy's shoulder.

"Be nice! And you my little angel, can tell him that I want more kids to spoil." She told Jason as he cooed and clapped his hands together as she sat him up on her knee. "You can never have enough of them to spoil." She nodded at this as she swooped in and peppered Jason's face with kisses as he let out a happy screeching laugh as he took his chubby hand and yanked on her curls happily. Sare laughed as she tried to pull her head away.

About a hour or so later Linnea, Adelle, Kai and the kids were heading into the rustic tavern which was much larger than the outside led on. Kai laughed as she heard Gwayne at the bar tell the newest group of about 3 travelers the story of how he lost his leg. She herself knew the story by heart and laughed softly as Linnea got the kids settled.

"Tall as an oak he was. Black beady eyes that felt like they'd tear your soul to shreds. Then..." He looked up in some surprise as Kai interrupted, even having the dramatic Scottish brogue down pat.

"His sword shattered against the Jabberwok's scales! With no other choice he set upon de beast with his barr hands! The beast chomped his leg clean off!" She was obviously trying not to laugh as she and Adelle approached the bar. "No one has seen the beast since...but legend has it he roams the woods waiting for the day to take his revenge..."

Gwayne sighed, "You little nymph! That's my favorite part!" He mock groaned but grinned as he walked around the bar to bid the group a hello. "Well look at ye lass!! Not so little anymore now are we?" He teased her, enveloping Kai into a hug. He chuckled as Lily ran over to him and nearly tackled him with a hug. "Well yer not so little either, are we now?" He mused, tickling Lily who giggled. His eyes landed on Adelle then. "Aye....now who is this pretty lass?"

"This is Adelle! She's Kai and Bryce and Iggy and Nina's friend from Earth!!" Lily supplied with another giggle as Gwayne held his hand out.

"Well it is truly a pleasure to meet ye, darlin. I hope you're hungry for some delicious barbecue!" He grinned before looking to Kai, "Yer brother'll be here soon with the others. Kora and them are running a bit behind as well. Something about the boys and a contraption. I didn't ask...Where is Mr. Royal pain in the arse? And your other halves for that matter!?"

Kai laughed, "He'll be here soon. Him and Betta took a walk. About 5 minutes away. Kyler and Ian had business back home for a few days but they will be here soon dont worry..." she mused, laughing as Gwayne shook his head.


Iggy laughed as Elysia screeched, "I heard you the first time, lass....!" He teased her, bouncing her a little on his knees. He laughed as Sare bit him, shaking his head a bit. He had to admit, the twins had already grown on him. Especially the way Sare lit up around them. He couldn't imagine just how spoiled their children were going to be if her niece and nephew were any indication. He reached over and gently unwound Jason's hand from his fiance's curls. Overall, he was just happy she was feeling so much better.

((I just... I can't stop laughing xD ))

Adelle had been quiet on the journey here to Gwayne's. She hid shly behind Kai as they walked in, despite the fact that she was an ince or two taller. She giggled softly as Kai finished the story the large man was telling, not able to keep from giggline more at the brogue she had adapted and the man obviously obtained. It sounded scottish? Accents had always been entertaining to her. Ian used to pick them up and always speak to her with them to amuse her and make her laugh. She blushed as Gwayne adressed her and smiled shyly. She took his hand and shook it lightly before pulling back. "It's nice to meet you. Everything smells amazing." She told him, the predator in her drooling at the thought of so much red meat.

Betta was happily walking with Bryce towards Gwayne's, obviously in a much better mood. She was leaning into him, looking forward to making it to the ristorante for the simple fact that it would get her out of the snow and into a nice warm, dry room. A thought came to her as she looked up at her beau. "Does it snow here all of the time?" She asked in a horrified voice. She didn't know if she could live through that!


Elysia quieted down before laughing as he bounced her on his knee. Opening her mouth, she let out a noise, laughing more as his bouncing caused it to become interrupted constantly. Sare just laughed at the little girl as she thankfully removed her curls out of Jason's reach with Iggy's help.

Jason made a pouty face before busying himself with yanking and playing with the end of her camisole. Sare laughed as she had to tug up her cami as he yanked it down to far. "You're turning into a little menace bud! First my hair then shirt?!" She demanded as she tickled his sides and he gurgled out a happy laugh before chewing on his hand. He looked over at his sister and Iggy and took his slobbery hand and tried to grab at Iggy. Lys didn't like that too much as she shoved her brother away, making a growling noise in human form.

Jason growled back before stopping. Looking at Sare he just began to cry loudly, producing actual tears as he screamed. Sare just made an 'aww' face as she gathered him up into her arms tightly and tried to calm him down. Elysia looked up at Iggy and made a rather comical face and if she could roll her eyes, she probably would.

((Yeah he's quite the character....lmao))

Gwayne chuckled, "Good to see a pretty lass with a good appetite..." he mused looking up with interest as Linnea laughed. "Aye...there's my angel..."

The older woman blushed lightly and waved him away, "You are ridiculous!" She mused shaking her head with a chuckle as he just grinned.

"Aye...but that's a huge part of my irresistible charm!!" He added, grinning as she laughed.

"Gwayne who could ever resist your charms?" Kai teased, taking a seat at the bar.

"Aye, lass...you're looking at one." He gestured to Linnea which caused the woman to blush deeply. Gwayne just grinned, plopping Lily onto one of the bar stools before heading back into the kitchen to finish up cooking. Kai laughed and shook her head at the pair. No one understood why they hadn't made anything of the obvious spark between them.


Bryce smiled as they walked, arm wrapped around her to keep her close. He couldn't help but laugh at her question. "No...actually spring shall be coming within the next few months. So next time it'll be getting warm...." he assured her, kissing the top of her head.

Iggy couldn't help but laugh at Elysia's reaction. He shook hid head with a small grin as the twins went at each other, especially Sare's reaction to Jason. He lifted Elysia up over his head, "I know how you feel, pretty girl. Your aunt is a total softy....." he mused, glancing over to Sare with a wink before setting Elysia back on his lap.

Adelle just smiled shyly down at her feet, looking up with a quiet giggle as Linnea and Gwayne flirted outrageously. It was really cute actually. She took a seat next to Kai, wishing she had worn her hair down so she could hide behind it. When Gwayne had gone back to cooking, she looked over to Kai and spoke up quietly. "Aren't they aware that everyone else can see howh much they like each other?" She asked.

Betta relaxed at his answer, mentally sighing in relief before letting out a long breath of air. "Thank God." She told him, glad that it would be much warmer when they came back. She couldn't handle snow all year round. Colorado was already cold enough as it was! She was a sun child and needed heat! Speaking of sun... "Do you have any beaches around here?" She asked him curiously.


Sare made a face at them as she stuck her tongue out at them. "Don't listen to him! I'm the bestest Auntie ever! And your favouritest person too." She told the children, happy that Jason had calmed down. He was nuzzling his cheek against hers adorably as she held him, curled up happily in her arms.

Elysia just gurgled out a happy reply as she clapped her hands together. She laughed as she looked up at Iggy with a toothy grin as she tried to reach up and play with his pendant. Apparently, she liked how the cool metal felt in her warm hands.

At this time, the door had opened once more as Celeste slipped in, a small bundle of white fur in her arms. Closing the door quietly, she caught sight of them with a smile as she walked over.

"Why am I not surprised to see that she's dragged you here?" She teased them as she pulled up a chair. She leaned over to kiss Iggy's cheek, only for Elysia to growl at her. She merely laughed as she bopped the baby on the nose lightly.

"He's not yours little one. You need to learn to share." She said lightly as Elysia gave her a dark look.

"Yea! He's mine. You have to go find your own. When you are much much older." Sare piped up as Elysia said something in her garbled language in reply.

By this time, the clean bundle in Celeste's arms shifted a little. She turned to look at Sare, Iggy and the twins curiously with her bi-coloured eyes. One of her overly large ears flopped over into her face as she tilted her head curiously. Jason and Elysia looked over at the white wolf, not uttering a word as they studied her. The wolf yipped, causing the babies to jump before laughing and clapping their hands.

((I love the "New Normal".....))

Kai laughed with a shrug, "I think they're afraid to put a label on it. Like it will jinx it. For a while Gwayne and her were with other people, obvious by Nathaniel but he's raised the boy like a son. No one really gets it to be honest..." she admitted with a smile, looking up as the door opened. Her smile grew when she saw the Feilds clan come through the door. Kora immediately bustled over to the girls laughing as Lily hugged her.

"Nena!!" She exclaimed, using their word for grandmother even though she was technically their great aunt. Kora just got tired of correcting them, figuring her and her husband were the closest they had.

"Hello pretty!" She grinned, hugging her back before the little girl was scooped up by her husband. Nina giggled, the boys immediately running towards the other two boys. She waved to Adelle and Kai, leaning against Devin. Kora walked over, giving Kai a quick hug before looking to Adelle. "Aren't you a pretty thing! I'm Kora, Nina's mother. You must be Adelle...." she said with a gentle smile.

Bryce chuckled, "We actually have a summer castle near the shore. Its about a two day trip if Iggy nor Nina are coming with us." He told her with a small shrug but smiled. Something told him they'd be spending some time there once the weather got warmer.

Iggy smiled down at Elysia as she played with his pendant, looking up as Celeste slipped in with the young wolf pup. He smiled and kissed her cheek with a shrug, "Eh...its not the worst place to be dragged to...." He laughed harder at Elysia's reaction to Celeste and Sare. "I think there is enough of me to share!" He mused, tickling the pup lightly. He looked back to the new girl, giving her a gentle smile. "Does our pretty new girl have a name?" He asked Celeste curiously, raising his hand up but kept it just far enough away so she wouldn't feel threatened.

((I've seen previews! It looks funny! ))

Adelle nodded, still confused by their relationship. It was so odd and strange to her. It didn't really make any sense. Then again, hers wasn't supposed to either. She didn't know you weren't supposed to mate with a man after knowing him for only two weeks. She looked up as a whole family walked in, recognizing Devin and Nina at least. She had a feelinmg that there was going to be a lot of people here at dinner tonight. She sort of hid behind Kai more as the others walked up, feeling very shy. Like Nina, she wasn't very fond of crowds. She was a little better off than the Brann girl, but not by much. Especially with Ian not here. When the woman introduced herself as Nina's mother she smiled despite her bright red cheeks from her compliment. "I am. It's nice to meet you." She said shyly in her quiet voice.

Devin was smiling happily, having enjoyed himself with Nina's family. They were all such amazing people, and he liked how welcomed he felt. He had his arm wrapped around Nina comfortably, grinning and waving over at Kai and Adelle as he caught sight of them. "If the boys and Sare were here, we'd have a full house." He teased his girl as he nudged her playfully. "How are you feeling, Sparky? Do you need to sit down?" He asked her.

"...Summer Castle?" Betta seemed to choke over the words as she stared up at him. Sure, her uncles had a summer house in Capri back in Italy but... a summer castle?! "Oh this is still a little much sometimes." She admitted to him. Most of the time, it never really seemed to sink in that Bryce was royalty. Then there times when he would say something like that and she would realize that she was indeed dating royalty. A simple waitress like her was dating an actual Prince from a far off land. It was like one of those fairy tales Lorenzo used to read to her. It made her headspin!


Elysia let out a happy laugh as Iggy tickled her before trying to reach over and touch the arctic wolf. The wolf shrunk back quickly, shaking her head and causing her other ear to flop into her face.

Celeste smiled as she nodded. "Her name is Wynter. I found a locket around her neck with her name engraved into it." She told him as the twins looked absolutely fascinated with the white wolf. The pup looked over to Iggy warily as he held his hand out, her blue and gold eyes studying it carefully. Then slowly, she edged towards his hand as she sniffed lightly. Making a face, she shook her head as she snuffled. Sare laughed as she looked up at Iggy.

"You smell really funny to her. It's probably the smell of the fire that comes from you mixed with wolf smell. Pines, firs, and fire don't really mix." She explained before looking back to Wynter. "You do realize what she is, right?" She asked her sister as Celeste nodded before looking to Iggy and explaining.

"She's an arctic wolf. They're said to be extinct. Apparently, they're not." She stroked the pups fir as Wynter reached out to smell Iggy again, still making the same face, but not pulled back this time.

((Omg, no! And you have no idea how much it's driving me crazy! Her dad wanted to watch TV, so I have to wait until tomorrow to watch it >.< ))

((My mother is like “I think gay rights activists write this show…” -.-‘ No shit really?))

Kora smiled sweetly at the young woman, “You as well, dear.” She told her, “Come now, what can I get the two of ye to drink?” She asked, blinking and suddenly squealing as her brother poked her in the sides. “Oh you’re such a pest….” She scowled while Gwayne just grinned.

“I’m a lovable pest though, aren’t I lassy?” He winked at the girls with a chuckle, rolling his eyes as Kora gave him a look. “Oh come on now sis…lighten up, would yeh?! We’re here to have fun after all!” He nudged her, looking to Cristoph. “Aye mate, over thirty years and my sister still can’t take a joke…you were ‘possed to fix that!”

“Have you met your sister?!” The taller man chuckled, clapping Gwayne on the shoulder.

“Maybe because after thirty something years my brother still acts like when we were tikes!” Kora commented, sighing heavily as her younger brother simply laughed.

“You’re startin’ to sound like mum…”

“I am not! You take that back!”

“Make me!”

Kai just laughed as she watched the siblings go at it; they were always amusing in the same room. “I can fix this…Gwayne, my favoritest fake uncle ever?!” She grinned, laughing a bit as she got his attention, “Can you grab some water for myself and Adelle?”

“Anything for me favorite fake niece…” He teased her with a wink, catching sight of Devin then before Nina could answer him. “Oy! New bloke! Come on now, make yerself useful and help an old man bring drinks out would ye?” He called out as he walked over to the couple, wooden leg clicking against the floor.

Nina giggled but nodded, “Hello Uncle Gwayne…” She smiled, hugging her uncle happily and laughing slightly as she looked back to Devin. “Go…I’ll be fine…” She assured him before walking over to the girls and plopping down on the seat beside Adelle.


Bryce laughed at her reaction, “You’ll get used to it…” He assured her with a small grin, kissing the side of her head. It was still amusing the reactions he got from her about certain things. “Besides, you’ll love it there so I think you’ll come to terms very quickly…” He teased, poking her side teasingly.


Iggy chuckled, “I know…I used to smell funny to the little devients in our arms too…” He mused, nodding as Celeste explained. When the wolf reached out again he very gently ran his hand through her white fur. “See? I’m not scary now am I, Wynter?” He asked, giving the young girl a gentle smile. Practically raising Lily and Jeremiah he was used to being around easily startled kids, Lily especially fragile. He just had a knack for it. No clue where it came from or why but while he was a hardass to most people kids were absolutely his weakness. He kept a firm but gentle grip on Elysia though, knowing she wasn’t a fan of sharing him for whatever reason.

((Lmao!! I mean, it's not obvious at all! XD))

Adelle just smiled at the woman, blinking in surprise as Gwayne came up to pick on his sister. She giggled quietly as she watched them with a smile, finding them amusing. She giggled more as Kai butted in to get them some water, looking back down at her feet. Everybody just seemed so nice. And it was like a family reunion. Half of them weren't related, but they were close they might as well be. It was really nice.

Devin looked up as Gwayne approached them and spoke to them. He looked back to Nina before chuckling and nodding and turning back around to Gwayne. "Sure thing sir." He offered a grin. "Just lead the way." He said, deciding that he liked Nina's uncle. He found his personality hilarious. Since he was more light hearted and tended to joke around as well, he could most definitely get along with him.


Betta smiled, letting out a squeaking sound as he poked her side. "No! Bad amore! Don't do that!" She said with a laugh and she swatted at his hands. "I think I could since it means we have a beach nearby." She told him with a smile. "With it so close to the beach, we could even sneak out at night and go skinny dipping." She waggled her eyebrows playfully at him with a wicked giggle.


Wynter froze with wild eyes as he ran he touched her fur, just staring up at him like a deer caught in headlights. Finally, she seemed to calm down a little when he didn't seem to hurt her. For some reason, Elysia didn't get mad when Iggy paid attention to Wynter and Celeste took notice. The little girl seemed very calm actually. So did Jason.

"Hmm... I guess that part of the story was true." She murmured as Sare tilted her head curiously as she looked over at her, having to change her hold as Jason turned to a wolf so he could get more comfy and settle down. She ran her fingers through his fur as he stretched and let out a yawn before settling down and closing his eyes.

"Everything we know about Arctic wolves is very vague and shaky. I mean, there hasn't been a sighting in over 300 years. They used to be the most powerful packs in the whole world before they crumbled and were destroyed from the inside. They created Protocol and were often used as mediators. They were said to have this ability where they could calm wolves who have gone feral. They could calm anything. It's why they were such great mediators in disputes. I thought that was just made up, but I guess not." She admitted as she looked back to the pup in her arms who seemed to be enjoying getting her fur stroked by Iggy. Her eyes had closed and she had this look of pure happiness on her face.

Gwayne nodded and led him back behind the bar to the kitchen. It was a rather rustic setup, but it was their version of state of the art. When Devin walked in he could smell the various meats and fish roasting over the open flame, a huge pot of beans and other vegetables off to the side. He led him back to the icebox off in the back. "Oi...what's yer name, lad? You're treaten my girl well, yes?" He asked as he pulled out a bunch of glasses and steins and set them on trays.

Bryce laughed, stealing a quick kiss, "Sounds like a plan to me...." he mused, lookikg up with a smile as he saw Sheng and Cristol coming down the sidewalk. Sheng, like his father, was about 6'2", but his fiance in her boots was only about an inch or two shorter than him. Unlike Kai, Sheng had jet black hair, kept slightly shorter than Bryce's. He was rather lanky in stature but one could tell byline the way his shirt fit him he was almost completely lean muscle. 

"Hey there you two are!" Cristol piped up, looking to Betta with a warm smile as they approached. She had markings like Kai which wound around her arm and leg (visible when she walkedbecause of the slit in her skirt). "It is wonderful to see you again..." she told the italian girl, kissing her cheek lightly. Sheng just chuckled with a nod giving Betta a small wave. Unlike his sister he wasn't loud and outgoing.

Iggy smiled a little as the young wolf relaxed, continuing to run his fingers gently through her white fur. He listened with a nod, watching the twins reactions as well. "I can see...." he told the women, finally pulling his hand back a little. "I guess we know Seth's prior involvement...." he added with a small sigh. The young girl deserved to be happy and a second chance. He knew at least she'd have a happy and full life with the pack looking over her.
