The mystery of his poisoning was solved, and mind had been put to eternal peace knowing it wasn’t a purposeful attack on him and his family, things were going well, too well though perhaps after all the years of agony and losing the ability to protect the forest so young made up for these times. It had been peaceful living his life as just an elder though, an elder made too young perhaps, but really he never truly thought himself as a good leader for Taviora. Not compared to his father, and even Zelda was far surpassing him, maybe even Coszcotl himself in time. She was meant for it, though none of them ever asked for it and Amoxtli enjoyed his time with his mate and sons. It had been many years though, and almost a full two years since his last episode. Things were… good and it was that that made him feel confident enough to venture into parenthood once more now that their sons were grown.

Neither him or Shiloh wanted a large family. He was content for a time to just have his twin sons, but as the time passed and he seemed in the clear of any more seizures, they decided to try once more. That clearly turned out well for them. He had been anxiously anticipating this day for a while. Ever since he got the news from Dexter she was already close to being due. It seemed as though as soon as the snow cleared and the temperatures became more mild that it was gonna be this day. Well night.

He had turned in thinking it was going to be another uneventful night’s sleep. However, when she started stirring he was sensitive to her movements. Feeling her roll and grunt until he is out of the way watching as was the only thing he could do as she uncomfortably had to deal with this part of the adventure alone. He wished always he could pull some of that pain away, but it was the power of the females to be able to give life, and they were well respected for it. It was a dangerous endeavor for them, but both times Shiloh had faced it fearlessly and even with excitement. She even had the energy to tease as she spoke between her contractions saying that they were of his family rather than her own.

”I certainly hope so, Tepi was almost the end of me on more than one occasion.” He said softly, giving her ear a nip, though really he loved his sons dearly and would unconditionally love the children she bore this time as well. Time passed though and he knew soon time would tell and while he was sure it took quite some time, it felt like no time at all before the child was born. A girl! His first daughter. He watched as she cleaned her, revealing the roan-brown coat and a smile crossed his maw as he looked at her flecks and markings. Once again he felt his family’s fur colors seemed to be dominant even over her black. He smiled warmly as she cried and seemed healthy, but Shiloh’s work wasn’t done. Again she pushed and soon another child was born. Relief washed over him at seeing the fur colors were somewhat different, though… their markings were exactly the same. Still he would take that their colors were different enough to tell them apart at first glance if nothing else. Twins again, though at least they were not as identical as Tepi and Teza had been. ”Two girls. We are in for a whole new adventure it seems.” He says teasing slightly. Smiling at the name she had chosen for the first girl. A name not of his lineage, but he didn’t mind, he thought of following suit, but he couldn’t help himself as he replied, ”I think Toltecatl would be a wonderful name for the second girl, if that is agreeable to you, my love.” He says touching his head to hers. He was one proud father that was to be sure, and his family certainly felt complete with their two new additions to their family.
