Oh where oh where has my little dog gone

Despite her initial barely-reigned-in calm, her eyes said it all. She was pissed, more specifically at him, and it wasn't until she started speaking that he had any clue what the hell she was about to unleash upon him. But at first, for a split second, he was wildly confused. He and Justice weren't so close that he should've remembered her birthday, and stupidly he was stunned, trying to come up with something witty to retort. He didn't have long to think before she corrected his doubts, explaining that he'd missed... his kids' birthday? Oh, fuck. He wasn't oblivious to the fact that this exact scenario was a possible outcome; he just hadn't sat around and thought about it very much.
For a moment he was silent, jaw unhinged as he tried to wrap his head around what she'd just said. "Oh," he said dumbly, for once in his life at a loss for what to say. At least initially, as the shock faded and a million questions buzzed around in his head. Unlike Justice, he wasn't pissed off at the surprise, but then again... he also hadn't been the one giving birth to them, so he couldn't entirely fault her for it. "How many kids do I have? Er, we?" He added hastily. He had no clue how this whole parenting this was supposed to work, but he hadn't envisioned it like this. And damn, Justice was a lot less pleasant than he'd remembered. He was mostly consumed with questions though. How long would they stay with Justice? Surely they weren't ready to be on their own yet? What were her intentions with them? She wouldn't try to keep them from him, right? Surely not if she'd come to find him. Despite not knowing what the fuck was going on, he already wanted to meet them and supposed he'd figure everything else along the way.
