688 Family Choices (2/2)
”She is his, isn't she? Verone's daughter? She's about 2 now, which is about when he disappeared from what Talis told me. He left her with our son so I'm assuming she has no one else.” Clovis replied looking up at the stars over head. He looked serene and beautiful in the moonlight, like a fairy sculpted from the softest clay, every detail glowing faintly in the gentle light.
”I planned to place her with a shifter family.” Kyera replied as she looked down at her hands.
”If that is your wish… but something tells me it's not. You don't want to abandon her. You are doing that to save my feelings, aren't you? Tell me a tiny part of you doesn't believe she should have been yours? Tell me no part of you wants to keep her with you, in his memory if nothing else.” Clovis replied and his eyes came down to look into hers. The understanding in those eyes freed Kyera of her fears.

She had considered keeping Rosie. They would have the space, money wouldn't be an issue, and raising her would be easy for a tigress like Kyera. However, she had also realized she had a mate. Clovis would be forced to help raise a child that belonged to her ex-lover and wasn't Kyera's flesh and blood… now to hear him say this?
”Are you sure? I can't give that baby false hope and then walk away.” Kyera pointed out and Clovis laughed.
”Kyera, let me remind you that you took in Raina without any hesitation, without any prejudice that she came from another womb. Is it really that hard to believe I could take in a cub, even his cub, as my own?” Clovis asked curiously and she smiled. Her arms wrapped around his waist and she snuggled into his chest grateful for the warmth.
”No, I just didn't want to ask that of you.” She replied softly and he kissed her forehead.
”I know, and that's why you didn't have to.” He smiled at her and she smiled back, in awe once again at the man she married.
”Come on; let's go to bed.” Clovis whispered, standing up and taking her hand. Kyera stood as well and they walked inside. The pair of them slid into their bed, snuggling down beside the smaller bed of their son, Clovis behind Kyera and Gale beside her. They enjoyed the warmth their bodies created happily.
A soft Yelp caught Kyera's ears and her eyes opened to look at the baby, who was sleeping soundly. Then her eyes traveled to Rosie who was sitting up in her bed, and moving into a feral position, teary eyed.
