Grayday's tight expression faded to fondness as Catori went on, talking about the kinds of children they might have. He loved Dawn and Catori, and couldn't imagine anything better than having a daughter that was like both of them combined. Stubbornness could be irritating, but he admired it more than it exasperated him.

"I'd like that," he replied, a smile quirking his mouth. That probably wasn't the answer she'd been expecting, but it was the truth. Any child with Catori would be a blessing - the very idea made him giddy. The best part about children, he thought, was watching them grow into the wolves they were meant to be. "I want it, too," said Grayday, not quite sure how to soothe her fears. He didn't have words, either, and instead, simply pressed closer to his wife, shifting so that her body was almost cradled against his.
