All Oddities Aside [Mina/Oliver]

[praiseofblood]

"Sore as hell," Mina managed, sighing a bit as their child yeawned, licking at Alge's cheek.

[clementine]

Alge laughed delightedly. "Already a charmer you cute little thing." He smiled, handing the child back to Mina. "Everyone's outside. Can I bring them in?" He asked.

[praiseofblood]

MIna looked at Alge with a "please spare me" expression, before nodding. "Two only." he said, even though he knew it'd probably end up being twice as many.

Mina looked into his child's glowing blue pools of light and he smiled. "Ceyenne," he said after a moment. "How do you like that name, little one?" he asked, and the baby cooed, sucking his thumb.

[clementine]

"Cute name." Oliver commented as Alge waddled to the door. Ken and Kale came in, followed by Maddy and Isis. So much for only two.

"I'm too young to be a grandfather." The demon moaned, eyes twinkling as he took in his son's son.

[praiseofblood]

"You are a grandfather." Isis teased as he drew closer to his son and grandsom, smiling down at him. "He's gorgeous, Mina." he said, cooing at the baby, who looked up at his pretty grandbearer in awe.

"His name is Ceyenne," Mina said, handing the child over, where he immediately worked his hand to catch one of Isis' curly locks.

[clementine]

"Always going for the hair." Maddy chuckled, smoothing a hand gently over the baby's mop of curls. "Cute little grandson though. Good job Mina!" He grinned.

[praiseofblood]

"I didn't do it by myself, dad," Mina said, looking at his father as he yawned, and Ceyenne did as well.

Isis laughed at the little darling, "Can he shift, Oli?" he asked his Jshiko son-in-law.

[clementine]

Oliver blinked slowly. "I'm...not sure. Perhaps. We'll know when he's a little older. Generally, Jshiko don't birth in their humanoid forms."

[praiseofblood]

"Hmm, I just asked because none of Maddy and I's children can shift, too little Zercan blood." Isis said as Ken and Akale moved over to observe their new nephew.

"He looks like Mina," Akale gruffed, teasing the baby, who blinked in confusion. There were two of his mommy! But they weren't his mommy....confused, his little lip began to curl and he cried.

[clementine]

"Back up you guys. He's confused!" Alge said, shooing Ken and Akale back when the baby started to cry. "Poor little baby. That's your mommy." He said, pointing to Mina and patting the child's head gently.

Oliver just chuckled at the interaction. "Well, since I'm all Jshiko, he should be able to shift when he gets a little bigger." He commented.

[praiseofblood]

Isis smiled, and that batch of family went out so the Crat'ka, Ewan, Orion and Kobe, and Stella and Julius could come in.

[clementine]

"Let's see the new little ankle bitter!" Julius boomed, swooping in to take a look. "What's this my...times two grandson?" The gray panther snorted out a chuckle, easing the babe from Mina and holding him up high. "Looks healthy. Good smell too."

[praiseofblood]

Cece blinked at the new big male, head jerking and eyes wide.

"Great-great grandson, yes." Mina said with a shake of his head. "Put him out of the air, old man." Mina sighed. "You're scaring him."

[clementine]

"Oh I'm not scarying you sweetling, am I?" Julius cooed over the baby, bring him back into the safety of his arms and rocking him. "Those in the Akahai line aren't afraid of anything." He told the infant with a grin. "What'd you name him Mina?"

[praiseofblood]

Ceyenne bared his tiny fangs at his grandpa.

"Ceyenne--it means water gaze," Mina said, leaning into his mate's arms, who had come over to help him sit up.
