Silvertip Mountain Forgive me, son

Starting this now, just to give us time to play it out for threads that come after. This is set October 16th. @Zaria to post next, then @Mason. I'll jump in with June too :)

It was time. The month since they had gone exclusive had gone so well. FitzDutiful and Zaria just seemed to work together so well, as far FitzDutiful was concerned anyway. They had spent practically every spare moment together and separated only when they had to. The only downside had been hiding it from his children. They had had some 'fun' in the den but he always felt the need for it to be over quickly in case the kids came home. Already there had been one too many close calls.

Today, he decided, they were going to tell the children. He wanted things to become official with Zaria anyway and telling the children would be easier if they were mates too. He figured that was best to check that Zaria was on-board with that too so he asked to meet her later, at the family home.

"Zaria," he said after greeting her warmly, "I want to tell the children about us - I thought that might be easier to do if we were officially mates. I'm ready for that, if you are too. You could move in with us as well - officially." It had been a full phase of the moon, yet it seemed only yesterday. Even though they were taking this commitment he knew deep down that if things were too harsh and went wrong, then they could always call it off. It didn't have to be forever, though he desperately wanted it to be.
