Redhawk Caldera Another ocean of fiction blue

I posted a reply last night but it's not here. I'm stumped. o_O

"It was," Peregrine agreed. "Dean had quite a stick up his ass at first too. I was afraid I was gonna have to turn him away. But he loosened up a bit." He exhaled and rolled his shoulders. Still, maybe he'd made a mistake letting them crash here. It was pretty clear neither one of them was contributing meaningfully. He loved his brothers and he was happy they were here but the caldera didn't do charity cases. He did not want to think what it would be like to have to kick them out, like Tyrannus had...

"Are you collecting the mini-me soon?" the Alpha ventured a guess. "If not, you can help me look for my wayward bros." It was clear Peregrine wouldn't hold it against Elwood if he had to look after his little one instead. He knew the Beta male wouldn't want to leave his son in the care of a sitter for too long.
