Lover's Eyes

Moments would pass by, heavy and thick with nervous energy. Every once in a while she would glance to Amalia, but for the most part she kept her gaze forward, her eyes searching for an approaching form. Finally a pale woman would appear, the family resemblance striking between Amalia and this woman. It made Athena curious about the appearances of Amalia's siblings, yet more members of Amalia's life she had yet to meet. The more she thought about the more her heart grew sad. She and Amalia had been together for quite some time now and yet she knew very little of Amalia's family. Amalia knew all of Athena's family, had truly been made a part of it even, and Athena knew basically nothing about Amalia's. However, that was about to change. Epiphron eyed her, obviously guarded and not entirely pleased with her presence. Athena sat quietly while Amalia greeted her mother, as wiggly and happy as ever. A smile tugged at Athena's lips as she watched her easily excited wife. Amalia sat down on her haunches and so Athena would as well, sitting just to the side and a little behind Amalia. Her wife would glance back at her and Athena would offer the most encouraging smile she could muster though she was afraid that wasn't much. Athena's heart was pounding as she watched her mother-in-law's face for her reactions. She knew full well the history between her family and Amalia's, she only hoped Epiphron could see past all that. They needed a home and, more importantly, Amalia deserved to be with her family. The only family Athena needed was Amalia and her boys. She could always visit Talvi where ever her blue hued sister ended up, but she had kept Amalia away from her family for far too long. She knew all too well that the north wasn't exactly a welcoming place, nor was her family at times, but those things were gone now. Now it was Amalia's turn. Amalia began to speak and Athena would remain quiet and still the whole time. Her split-tone gaze would meet Amalia's when she looked up at her, smiling and giving a small nod of conformation. She did wholeheartedly return Amalia's love. Athena's dark-tipped ears flicked back against her skull, the pain of loss flashing across her face when Amalia mentioned Roman. Those emotions were still fairly fresh and the mention of them brought it back to the surface. She pushed these feelings away and returned her focus on Amalia and her mother as Amalia went on to ask about this pack and Epiphron's place in it, along with the possibility that Amalia, Athena, and their boys could join it. Amalia leaned into her and she turned her gaze down to peer at her wife, her gaze softening and a small smile curling at her lips. When Amalia fell silent she lifted her gaze toward Epiphron again, her eyes searching Pip's face. "You raised an amazing woman," she said with a smile, speaking in calm, even tones. "Amalia has helped me through so much... I don't know what I would do without her." Her expression growing a bit more serious she went on, "I fully understand the history between our families and I want to express how sorry I am. My father and mother were... Well, they certainly made some poor decisions. Well... He did. My mother just followed him and would follow him to the ends of the earth. I can't fault her for that I guess. I was not at all involved with his decisions and I will never be able to understand them. She paused, glancing down at Amalia's beautiful face and smiling before looking back up to Epipron. "Please, all I ask is that you let me prove myself to you. I only want what is best for Amalia and our sons and if being here makes Amalia happy then that's a step in the right direction." |
