Silvertip Mountain Forgive me, son

This could have gone so much better.... so much better. What was it about kids that they never reacted in the way that you intended? FitzDutiful had planned for this news to go down like leaves from a trees; smoothly and calmly. Yes he had wanted the children to be happy about the news - to be excited that they were part of a normal style family. Instead Mason just looked shocked and desperately hurt and June was asking if Zaria was a mother replacement.

FitzDutiful decided that June's question was better answered by Zaria and left that, instead he said a rather generic statement after whatever answer she would give (if she even gave one) that was mainly directed at Mason. "This doesn't mean I don't love you, we both love you. It just means we also love each other. It doesn't take anything away from you, it means I can give you more because Zaria's here to help too. Do you understand that?"

He looked at his mate, fear clear in his eyes, though he made sure to hide it before looking back at his children. Where had they gone wrong?
