"Your mother is amazing Nash. I'm so glad to have her with us." She told the Guardian her thoughts on Moonshadow, "I'm glad to hear that she wants to be a part of my pups lives too. With both mine and Aleister's mothers having passed I hope that Moonshadow doesn't mind to fill the shoes of grandmother for my children."

With both mine and Aleister's mothers having passed I hope that Moonshadow doesn't mind to fill the shoes of grandmother for my children."
Nash couldn't help a chuckle at his leader's impatience. "We've been discussing them too; I think the only one we've agreed on so far is after my parents." he smiled conspiratorially. "Don't tell my mom, though; we want to surprise her." He knew she would love having one of her grandchildren bearing a tribute to the love between her and her lost husband. The soon-to-be new parents were also workshopping a name to honor Aquene's parents; they wouldn't be left out of the loop. "The worst part is not knowing how many names to have prepared," he moaned. "What if we get attached to all these names and only need one or two?" It was a silly concern, he knew, but one he and Aquene laughed about.
Returning to the topic of Moonshadow, Nash's smile grew. "Oh, she won't. She was ecstatic when we found out about Nori; I know she runs emotional but she cried happy tears. Even went and visited Dad to tell him I think."
The crow was relieved to hear that Moonshadow wouldn't mind being grandmother to her pups too. "She's a good woman I'm so happy that she will be there to help with the children. She will make a wonderful grandmother to them all." However many there ended up being once it was all said and done.
Nash nodded along as Oksana spoke, giving her a grateful grin at her promise to keep the surprise for his mom. He let out a bark of laughter at the idea of having to explain last minute names to children. "That reminds me of an old joke," he chortled, "but it's probably best to let that one die."
His smile softened as he pictured his mother surrounded by young pups. He wondered if she and his father would have had more children had Tagg not died so young. How would he have been as an older brother? As good as Chan? Nash had to shake his head slightly to clear his mind of it; he needed to stop comparing himself to his brother. They were different, and that was okay.
"Its actually a comfort to me to know that there will be plenty of family to help look after the children." Oksana knew how easy it was for pups to wander of and get hurt. She'd been one of those pups and the scare with Kateri also had her on edge about them venturing away from the den. She knew the day would come that she woukd have to let them but until then they needed protected.
