Echo from the start

The pair would relax silently for a few moments with their new brood in secret, no one but he and her had experienced the birth and rather selfishly had not yet called their first children to meet them. Frith couldn't deny his enjoyment in their peaceful morning, but he should have known that keeping something so big from Aslan and Varda was more than impossible. The sounds of foot steps outside would alert him to the next presence, his features would lift from the tiny babies as Varda slipped into the den that she had been born in the year before. As she would breathe her wonder the much taller Aslan would also slip inside, his eyes wide with wonder as well.

There was nothing but positive energy radiating from the den as the older siblings met younger, and Frith found himself smiling easily as Novella answered their son. They had been tiny, but he hadn't been quite that tiny. Novella had been much larger with their first, almost completely thanks to Aslan. His wife would take to introducing them to their tiny siblings, and the proud father would only watch as he nuzzled Novella's back lovingly.
