Stone Circle A story to Embarrass in the future

The boy settled. Love and pride welled up in the new father's chest. He kept Sunny close but looked back at Dawn, nosing over her and making sure she was warm as well. So far, she was easier than her brother, but Day wasn't sure he could expect that to last. All kids were trouble, at the end of the day, and he'd be ready to face it no matter what came.

He was still amazed that these little beings had come out of Amber's body, and that they carried something of himself in them already. They were his kids, and even know, he knew that he would always be connected to Amber in this way. She would always be the mother of his kids, always be family to him, even if she wasn't quite the love of his life.

Day loved her. He did. This common blood had sealed it for him like nothing else had. She'd brought these tiny gifts into existence, and for that, he loved her. Maybe one day, it would be enough.
