Redhawk Caldera Lampshades on fire

The thought of being uncle to Peregrine's children was uplifting. Though it was still a possibility that he would leave to search for Avery in the spring, he was gathering more and more reasons to stay. He wouldn't be a blood relative to the firebirds, but the pack itself was like a big family. It truly would feel like they were his nieces and nephews.

Peregrine had purposely avoided mentioning Finley's name, but Elwood thought of her anyway. His idea was a bit different, however, as he proposed, "So their godmother and I can teach them to fight bears? And take them ice skating in the underground caverns?" And the best part was that they could drop them off with their parents at the end of the day, leaving Peregrine and Fox to deal with the tired and cranky tykes! "But really, it will be fun to help teach them to hunt and stuff like that," he added, his tone growing slightly more serious. And Peregrine was right -- it would be good practice, for although he didn't know when or with who, Elwood did hope to become a father.
