This One Time I Bumped Into You

It was hard to imagine the little ball of red fluff he remembered as a King. The last visual memories he had of his oldest children was them still as little more than pups. To think of those pups as adults was mind boggling. And to think that their youngest would soon be a year old... And he would never be able to actually see them. He thought about that fact way more often than he should and every time it crossed his mind it broke his heart. There was nothing he could do to fix it and maybe that was the hardest part for him to accept. He always thought he would be able to control his own destiny, but his destiny controling had landed him blind and on thin ice with his mate. When Surreal stated that there would be more children eventually it made him feel a strange mix of joy and dread. He loved his children more than his own life and perhaps even more than Surreal and absolutely wanted more. However, thinking about the fact that there would be even more lives under their care that he wouldn't be able to really protect, more children that he would never see, more ears that would have to find out how their father had failed and had lost his sight in the process... It was a hard thing to accept. He would simply nod in understanding to her statement. These were all thoughts that he would have to come to terms with and if he couldn't they would just be thoughts to handle another time. They had plenty to think about right now without discussing something so far in the future. "If this whole thing with Amalia and Athena really bothers you all you have to do is tell me not to do it," he commented after the silence had stretched on for a few moments between them. "I only brought it up because I wanted to help them. I never meant to hurt or upset you with it. I don't feel like that towards anyone else, I never have and I never will. I wouldn't even consider it if it wasn't our family and they didn't sincerely want children so badly." His voice was a soft, sincere rumble. He almost hated to bring it back up again, but he didn't want anything else to come between them and once it was done there was no going back. He had to make sure that she was sure.
