As her son wilted, she bent to run her tongue over his face. His words stung her just as badly as the rest had. ?You aren?t a failure, Gabriel. And I will never hate you. You and your siblings are my joys in life. My happiness. Your father?s joy and happiness. I?d never want you to never exist. But I want you to interact with your siblings, and if they tease, tease right back. They?re only playing when they tease. If it was said to hurt you, you would know the difference. If you fall, get right back up and charge back into the fray. If you get dirty, you jump in the water and wash up. Surreal wants to talk to you. I?ll talk to the rest about the teasing.? She nosed her son gently. ?We love you, Gabriel. And none of us wish you weren?t around. Now, lets go to the den. It?s getting ready to snow again.? She turned and looked at Gael. ?Gael. It?s good to see you home safely. Good day.? She nodded and nosed her two children toward the direction of the den. She would do her best to stall Gabriel?s exploration of the darker path. For now, she wanted all her children with her and Nova, because the death of Cairo was fresh on her mind, and she needed them all there. |
