Cynics & Critics

She didn't miss the confusion that crossed his face, and wondered for a moment if maybe she had been overthinking too much. She wanted so badly to be the best mom she could be, and raise her family right, but she felt like she'd been failing at it for so long because half the time, she had been brooding over her ex-mate and his betrayal to the family. It didn't matter anymore though, he was no longer a part of their lives and hadn't been for over a year now. He was dead and gone as far as she was concerned, at least...until he decided to ever show his face again. She shook her head slightly as she moved over to him, gently nuzzling the side of his neck for a moment. "I just worry that I haven't been as good a mother as I should be...I don't want the family to fall apart the way mine did when I was a child." That honestly worried her to no end. And she didn't want that happening to them. She would be here for them no matter what.

She stepped away at his comment, looking up at him with a small smile. Good, she was glad he wasn't busy right now because she had a lot she wanted to discuss with him. And it seemed, he had the same idea. Whatever it was, it sounded serious. She sat down, full attention on him. "It seems we both have some important things to discuss. I've had things on my mind that I wanted to talk to you about as well. What's bothering you?" She was curious, though something in the back of her mind told her what it might be about. Still, she wouldn't flat out assume. She would let him express his concerns, and go from there.
