Love, it is a flower

Athena's eyes widened with shock at Amalia's outburst, completely surprised by it. She wasn't used to such a thing from her little Ama, but unlike the time she had spoken up against Epiphron, these words weren't touched by anger. All she heard from her wife was sorrow and fear. Athena's gaze softened and tears welled up in them as Amalia's head dropped down to lay on the ground, her mismatched paws covering her russet muzzle. "Shhhh," Athena whispered gently, slipping the foreleg closest to Amalia over the smaller girl's shoulders and pulling her pale form tighter to her. She curled around Amalia protectively, her muzzle dipping toward Amalia's face to tenderly lick away the tears that stained her wife's face. "I'm so sorry," she whispered after a few moments, still holding tight to her Ama while the tears squeezed at her throat and threatened to choke her completely. "I never meant to... I mean I..." She sighed defeatedly and let her gaze find Amalia's. "I'm so sorry I took those days from you and I'm so sorry you had to be on your own... I never meant to do that to you. I was just so afraid that... that if I didn't look for him who would?" Her ears flicked back, her gaze begging Amalia for forgiveness or maybe just for understanding. "But Ama... Whether we like it or not he is their father. I can't cut him off completely... You really have been more of a parent to our sons than anyone else. I know that, the boys know that... hell, Vereux knows that. That's not going to change. Because of the love and the care you've given them... They've turned into fine young men." Tears spilled onto her cheeks and she gently nuzzled Amalia's cheek. "Thank you for that, lovely... I'll never be able to repay you for that." |
