when all your fears come true at once

When it became clear that for once Jupiter did have a problem that needed to be addressed, Valentine ditched the scowl. He sank to the ground slowly as his grandson spoke. That Jupiter had a women on the side barely registered with him. That part didn't matter in the slightest. His family was free to take as many or a few partners as they liked. What stuck in his craw was the fact that his grandson had accidentally and unknowingly knocked someone up, and only found out about it because he'd dropped in for a visit. That information brought a frown to Valentine's lips, but he said nothing as Jupiter continued his mile-a-minute rundown of the situation.

When he was done Valentine shook his head and groused, "I thought I taught you better than that. None of this would have happened if you had been careful." It was a fair accusation in Valentine's mind, and the worst he was going to say at this stage. When things were settled he would give the boy a proper dressing down, but for now caring for the hungry newborns took precedent. They were at a crucial stage and their care came first. Though Valentine had been unaware of them until this moment they were still his family and their care was top priority.

"No matter." Valentine glanced around Jupiter expectantly, then asked, "Where are they?" If they were going to do this they needed to jump to it. Already he had an idea forming. One of his granddaughters was recovering in Fireside after suffering a miscarriage at the hands of some kind of predator - Valentine was ignorant of the details - and if he had his way, she could be pressed into service here. Family was family. She would see reason, he was sure of it.
