Welcome to Gaia! ::

Logan waited for his mate to accept the woman's show of a deeper submission, but then realized his mate wasn't sure of what to do. Logan smiled lovingly at his mate. "Bare your fangs and lightly graze them over her neck. It will signify she's part of the tribe by your conscent. Should Kaeden and Lily be called away for any reason, she will look after the children and she will answer to you like Uri does." Logan said giving the quick explaination.

Logan watched his mate before looking to Aaron. "Well, if they are finished with eating, we should get our new comers started on learning some English." He said to his Silven. Aaron nodded with a smile before calling them all to him. Logan had given him free range of the library, so he took them all in there. It was a comfortable fit.

Lily waved to Kayla after telling the woman to follow Aaron. Once they were gone, Lily smiled up at Kaeden with a michievous smile as she put Afacan down. She slid her hands in his back pockets and pressed against him. Her girls looked at her with weird expressions. "Mah, you're acting weird." Yanny said. Lily just smiled and winked at her as she turned her attention back to her mate. "I missed you." She whispered in a low, sexy voice.

Logan nodded and then thought of where they could go. He didn't want the little ones too close to the lake, they could drown; or the horse stables, they could dash in and get trampled; not the other house since it was near the pool; and not the other guest house since it was rather far for them to walk the little ones.

"Sounds good love. How about right out here on the side? They will have a view of the lake, the mountains and that side of the forest." He said deciding that was the safest spot with a nice view.

Logan then looked at Alice. "Do you play soccer? Or some type of ball. We should get the older kids out as well. Let them use up some energy." But then he saw they were all in their PJ's. "Or maybe some clothes are in order first." He said with a raised brow.

Logan chuckled softly as he looked around the corner as well at his sister and her new mate. He was glad she was happy and being taken care of. He just hoped with the new Flower Cat things would go well between the three of them and with the three children they had.

"Thanks to them, we came into a small fortune. We will have enough to buy the children and the adults some clothes." Logan said pleased he could provide for his entire tribe.

His father came in with a smirk on his face. "I think I can still put a ball in a goal. Let's find out." He said helping Alice with getting the kids outside. Yanny made a yucky face as she watched her parents. Yen on the other hand was curious, but they turned and headed towards Alice when she called. Afacan shifted to his cat form and padded after his sisters and to Alex.

Soon the house was quiet with all the kids and kittens outside. Mrs. Church set herself in motion to clean everything and start preparing the next meal. Lily on the other hand smiled at her mate's question. In answer she jumped into his arms, placing her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "Let's get some while we can." She said kissing him.

Outside Logan got his mate a chair to sit in and then one for himself. They sat just off the round about covered porch so they wouldn't have to worry about the triplets falling off the side. Rose set to chasing Leo and Theo through the grass. Their predatory skills kicking in in the open. Koko rolled over to sun bathe but one of the new girl panthers wanted to play.

Logan smiled as he took in the moment. He prayed for many more like it. He watched the older kids trying to learn soccer from Alice and his father....which they caught on very quickly. And then he watched his little ones playing with the other kittens.

The lynx baby seemed at ease with Alex, but her eyes were wide as she looked around fearful of danger. Logan felt bad for her. She never seemed to really relax. He reached over and picked her out of Alex's protective arms. He held her by her scruff and looked at her as she mewed. Her big eyes met his. "She's kindda cute." Logan admitted aloud as he crossed his legs at the ankle and knee and laid her in his lap.

Logan held the lynx in his lap as he picked up Alex Jr. He just wanted to make sure he wasn't eating anything he shoulder be. He smiled at his son before putting him back down on the grass. The little lynx in his lap seemed to be coming to terms with her situation and was relaxing as she sprawled out on her back in his lap with her head against his stomach. He sort of liked her. "She reminds me of you." Logan said scratching her belly. She gave the smallest of purrs as her back left foot pawed the air. Logan laughed. "Oh yeah. This is definitely you, love." He agreed with himself.

Rose had gotten a little wiser with her twins. She knew if one was facing her then the other one would be close and ready to pounce her. She kept her eyes on Theo, but kept an ear open for his twin. When he jumped her, she didn't know which direction he'd come from and she moved more towards him than she should have! Rose gave a whine....but she wasn't defeated just yet.

Lily kissed her mate back with just as much passion as she was carried up to their room. She smiled back at him before she flipped him beside her on the bed and jumped on top of him with her fast reflexes. She made quick work of his pants before turning the question back to him. "I am.....are you ready?" ~Time skip~

"I was worried about this one. She's smaller than the others and her coat is different. She looked like she hadn't had a good experience while in the zoo. Even now as I look in her eyes, I can see it trying to hide in the back. The fear that something bad is about to happen and she knows she will get hurt or lashed at." Logan said softly with a hint of sadness in his voice.

For a second he thought about keeping the little girl, but his mate had enough work looking after their own. "That that we are not open to other types of cats, but who will take her? We've never had a lynx and none of the adults are lynxes unless Alice is. I've seen the rest of them shift." Logan said. "I'm not sure how well she could take to a panther looking over her since that was her experience before. I guess we will have to see."

The little girl looked at Logan lazily as she laid on him all safe and sound. She was relaxed and content for the first time since her shower with Alex and only one of the two times since she'd been there.

Rose rolled her brother off of her and was about to pounce him thoroughly when she saw their little brother. He was too close to them for rough housing and somehow she'd sensed that. She stopped playing and went to her little brother. She licked his face before turning her attention to getting some sun.

Alex Jr. tried following the game his older siblings were playing. He pounced on Theo's tail......well, he made a good effort to head that direction; but his pounce was more like a little hope that still left a huge gab between him and his brother. Logan chuckled as he watched...keeping an eye on the Semals so they wouldn't hurt their little brother.

The little panther looked at Ivy curiously as well. She approached the little one cautiously.....but in her mind quickly associated her size with the lynx baby. She put Ivy on her back with a little push of the paw and then pinned her. Koko got to his place on his back to his feet so quickly that Logan had barely seen the movement. Koko didn't even have to growl. His quick movements had the other panther recoiling from him. She understood Koko's deadly stare.

Logan looked down when he felt a shivering and hear whining. The little lynx girl was scared and she was all the way up in his lap. Everyone knew even little kits are dangerous. They have natural killer instincts. However, Logan was sure he saw something else in the baby panthers. All but one had to fend for themselves....that was the one panther that had been adopted by a female panther.....but they all had picked up bad habits of picking on the weaker kitten. Rose decided to let her brother Semal back their brother Koko up while she watched over Violet and Alex Jr.

"That's sound like a good idea." Logan said about asking Alice as he rubbed the lynx's head. He settled her back on her back once he saw Leo taking care of things. Logan's eyes had snapped over to Ivy and Koko, but he'd made no attempt to leave his seat. As Semal, it was in their nature to have order and Logan saw that Leo was taking care of it. Semals back each other up. So if the little panther objected to being submitted, then Logan would have spoke up.

But the little panther was more stunned than anything. Besides larger cats who would pick on them, she hadn't expected a kitten her size or a little large to take command. When she found herself pinned, she turned her attention to Leo. She clearly got the message.

The other four little panthers watched the entire thing. The little baby hadn't had any food, so they wondered why she would be bugged. But at seeing what picking on little ones here cost, they quickly got the picture as they saw that Leo was in control of this situation.

Koko reached out his head to his brother and licked his muzzle in thanks before licking his little sister, Ivy.

Logan chuckled. "Leo and Rose will make great Semals. Their natural instincts are already kicking in at such a young age. And I have you to thank for all of this." Logan said looking over at his mate. He took Alex's hand and kissed the back of it and smiled. "Thank you my love."

Logan glanced from his mate when he heard a soft thud and a loud whimper. Alex Jr. was too younger to be trying to pounce over Theo. He'd ran as fast as he could and tried to land on his older brother. Instead of landing, Alex Jr. tripped right before he was to jump, ran right into Theo and then tumbled over his back to land on the other side.

Rose was on her feet quickly as she went to inspect her little brother. Alex Jr. looked up with his big sad eyes and had his lip in a bit of a pout. Rose gently rolled him over to make sure nothing was damaged before picking him up by the scruff and setting him on Theo's back almost in the crook of his neck.

Logan didn't hide his chuckle. "No love. You're not horrible. Even in their folly, but can be just as adorable." Logan said rubbing his thumb over the back of Alex's hand as they sat side by side surrounded by beautiful scenery, their children and the tribe. He was content.

Out on the grass, the kids were starting to slow down. They had played several rounds as they ran, jumped, fell and scored. A lot of the kids were covered in grass stains and a few had ripped their clothes. One little boy went and showed Alice the hole in his pj bottoms showing his thigh. It had to be time to go shopping.

"That's was fun." Lily purred as she lay with her head on Kaeden's chest. She smiled as she looked at him and then remembered Alice. "Oh snap." She said stretching and getting up. "I should go see about Alice....and we are suppose to be going shopping. We have a lot of kittens to shop for. I'm sure Logan is glad you let him have one of the chests of gold for the tribe. This will help pay for some clothes." She said getting up and getting dress.

"Would you like to take the boys? Maybe Andrew and go with you? I'm not sure of boy's fashion these days." She said and kissed him before putting her shoes on. She hoped he would come so they'd have another male, but she wasn't expecting him to if he was tired.

**going on a business trip tomorrow. hitting the road at 5am. good night. hope to chat Saturday afternoon.**

"Shop- shopping?" The little boy asked Alice with a curious look. A little girl ran up having heard them talking. "Is shopping food? I like food. We never got a lot of it." The little girl said.

Logan looked at the time. He really needed to take care of his next problem. The kids seemed settled and would be going shopping soon, the new adults were with Aaron learning their ways here and probably deciding if they wished to stay or not and then there was the last matter.....the brothers in the dungeon pit. He greatly considered having Alex be present without the kittens just to see how each of them would react. It would weed them out quicker.

Logan looked over at his mate and told him his plan. "We'll bring them one at a time. You will not be too close to them and you will stand behind me with two guards at all times. I only wanted your presence in the room and for each of them to see your face." Logan said. "Dray can watch the kids for little bit. It shouldn't take long to figure out which wishes you...well, tamed." Logan added using a nicer word than what Aaron had told him the man had said when both brothers were at the front door.

The baby panthers mostly kept to themselves since one of them had pinned Ivy. One of them seemed more calm than the others and went and laid close to Leo. She had figured he'd be the one she had to win over. She inched closer and closer when he looked like he wasn't going to chase her away.

Rose ignored her completely. She wasn't interested in making friends at the moment, but protecting her family; especially the little ones. And by the fact Rose was ignoring her only meant in her mind that she wasn't a troublemaker that would cause herself to bring attention like her sister that had pinned their little sister.
