A look of joy passed over the mother's face at the sight of her both of her children, but a frown made it way onto her lips when she saw the dark clouds hanging over their heads. Encouraging Inali forward, she turned back towards her two children, her body covering them like she had wings as she looked down at them. Nina knew that they were deeply moved by their brother's breath, she too was poignant, not knowing how she was suppose to deal without the presence of her mate by her side. He had once said he was going away for his memory...but now she did not wish to think of such horrid things. Her friend was here with her to see her children and had the most pleasant of smiles across her face. Swallowing back any regrets that she might have harbored she spoke calmly,”This is Ashton...who was named after my brother, Ash...and my daughter Danica...a name of which I recall Sloane uttered once, I believe.”

She nudged them forward, giving them both loving licks upon their foreheads and giving them the attention they rightfully deserved from her. Just because one of her children had passed on did not mean that she could sit on the side and watch while her other children grew up without her. They needed her to help them with their loss and Nina was going to do just that. She would not be that brokenhearted mother that stood by while her children suffered because of her. Flicking her tail back and forth, she turned down to look at the two children again, a small smile on her features, ”Perhaps you would like to play a game with Inali and me?” She was trying to coax the children within them out and was clinging onto the hope desperately in hopes that she would succeed.
