when all your fears come true at once

Now it was time for Valentine's face to go blank. He stared at Jupiter in disbelief for several seconds as he tried to wrap his head around what his grandson had just told him. Then, slowly and carefully, he reiterated what Jupiter had just said. "You were there when they were born. You watched their mother die. And then you left your newborn puppies unattended so you could come here and ask me what to do. Am I hearing you correctly? That's what you did?"
He shook his head, his anger building, and then bit out the words, "You left your children alone in fuck knows what condition." Valentine leaped to his feet and roared, "For fuck's sake, Jupiter! What kind of father leaves his newborns alone?" Valentine began to pace. "I have tried and tried with you! When will you learn to think?" He loomed over Jupiter and sought to jab the side of his head with a paw. "I know you have a fucking brain in there because you use it to whore around. Is finding ways to empty your sack all it's good for? FOR FUCK'S SAKE JUPITER!"
Huffing like a bull Valentine recoiled from him and took up pacing again. He didn't even know where to start. Blankets. Yes, blankets were a good place to start. The pups were probably cold by now. Cold and hungry was a lethal combination in newborns. Any idiot would know that. Hopefully they weren't too far away. "Fucking useless!" he snarled at Jupiter before reaching into his den and pulling out all of his bedding. "You, get Tyrian and Motif, and tell them what's happening. I'm going to get your children because fuck knows what you'll do with them along the way if I send you." He gathered up his bedding, threw it over his back, and then began to follow Jupiter's trail.
