Not your average lady

His gaze fell on Lillith as she approached them and immediately he noticed how under the weather she looked. He knew her days fluctuated, some were better than others, but he felt guilty that he had pulled her from her room on one of her bad days. Even still, she had come out to greet them with a small smile, always the sweetest of them all. He retuned her smile and leaned down to gently tap her cheek with his nose. "I'm sorry for getting you up when you don't feel well, sweetheart," he told her softly, keeping it to a whisper for just her. "I won't keep you long, I promise." He lifted his head then just in time to see Ezra pulling Serenity into the group, too distracted by Lillith to see the newest addition to their family lingering around the corner. He gave Ezra a grateful grin before smiling warmly at Serenity as well. He hadn't been sure if his technically oldest daughter would come, but he was glad that she was here as well. He wanted her to be a part of their family and he wanted her to be involved, even if it was a little awkward at first.

He waited for a few moments, looking up to watch for Emile and Jane. He didn't want to wait very long so Lillith could go back to resting, but he was growing tired of his children not coming when he asked for them. He knew they were around the pack somewhere and he had spoken with Jane not that long ago, but for his son especially it felt like he was being avoided. At first he had been upset about it, hurt that his children were ignoring him, but now his patience was wearing thin. He hadn't pushed them in any other regard, letting them live their lives how they wished whether they were training and working for the pack or not, all he asked was for a bit of their time.

He pushed the thoughts away after waiting for a few minutes. He didn't want to dwell on those things when he had such good news to share - or at the very least news that made him unbelievably happy. He turned his attention back to the three of his children that had come, not wanting to punish them by making them wait any longer for their siblings. "Well... I suppose I'll just have to tell them later," he commented, giving them a smile. "I wanted talk to you because Eska and I have some news to share and I wanted you to hear in from me first." He glanced over at Eska, his lop sided grin pulling across his features. Even just looking at this beautiful woman beside him made him happy. "I love her very much and she makes me so incredibly happy. She's agreed to be my partner, my mate." He looked back toward his children, looking for their reactions. "If it's okay with you, I'd like for her to be a part of our family as well."
