To be welcomed into the pack would certainly be a good thing. Allen could feel his own heart lifting with hope, and Hajime seemed a little happier too. Things were getting better. As long as they kept thinking like that then they should have no trouble at all moving forward and keeping their chins up. It was good though that the small children would have playmates... Though with five he was sure that they wouldn?t be too bored. He couldn?t imagine watching out for so many small bundles, even if he had ended up with four children of his own. He hadn?t had the joy of watching them as puppies, however, and Allen did feel bad about that.
If he ever had children again he was going to make sure to be more active in their lives next time. He would help them grow, not just see the final result. The calico male would tip his head forward, dark eyes shining in understanding. ?It is alright, Hajime. Don?t stress about it. The time will come when I can see them soon, I assure you. Once I?m a member of the pack as well... And then you can meet the first of your cousins.?
