Jayd laughed a little when Caden tried his best to pronounce the word 'pregnant'. It came out rather cute.
The femme leaned into talk to Caden. Jayd didn't expect the kit to understand what her condition was and so she would happily elaborate on that, in very simple terms. Jayd put her paw on her lower tummy and patted it. "We are going to have a new addition to our family Caden. You see I have a baby growing inside of me." Jayd wasn't sure if she said it so that he would accept the news easily or not but what she tried to do was make him a part of it by what she next said. "You are going to be a big brother. Isn't that exciting?" Jayd giggled softly.
Just then her attention was turned to Luxe and Ladorak. She heard the question posed. "Well as long as Caden is willing to stay with Luxe but I won't agree to it unless he wants to." The new bride was sure that plenty of things were rushing through his head now, comprehending that he was going to be a big brother and now going to stay with Luxe for a few days.

Caden blinked, his pink orbs disappearing for a second. Really? She was...making a kit....grow in her tummy? How did that....work? Was that where kits really came from? And furthermore....he....Caden.....was going to be a big brother? A brother? A....big brother? But...he wasn't a part of Ladorak's family....was he? Ladorak....and Jayd just got married...but they weren't his parents...not his real ones.
But could it hurt to accept them at least as guardians until he figured out what he wanted to do and who he wanted to accept. But a brother.....he wasn't that much a part of Ladorak and Jayd's lives was he? But there was no time to think on it....the next question was being posed.....to stay with Luxe.
The albino considered this question. Hmm....Luxe....stay with Luxe.....stay with Luxe....maybe it would be good to take a step back and sort out how he felt about Ladorak and Jayd and...their new kit. "Sure....that's fine." he shifted around in Ladorak's arms so that he could look at the blacksmith stoat now.
"Are you sure Caden?" Ladorak asked the dibbun, to which Caden nodded without saying anything. "Alright....we won't be gone long at at all...in fact I think we'll cast off today and take our honeymoon cruise around Galdea and Caden can go back to your shop Luxe.....but please.....no more roughhousing......his arm's almost fully healed, he just has another week to go and he'll be better." Ladorak said, half in warning and half in good humored jest. If he was looking out for Caden, it was his duty to protect him from all harm....regardless of where it came from.....but with Luxe Ladorak felt he could trust his fellow stoat.
Caden gave his neck a bit of a squeeze, and then Ladorak set him down on the deck. The albino wandered over to Luxe now. "So how's about it Jayd?" Ladorak pulled her in closely now. "Want to cast off and take a cruise about Galdea?" he asked, his eyes twinkling.
Caden was looking up at Luxe now. "How far do you live?" he asked, thankful inwardly for the break to take some time to reflect on how he felt about the turns his new life was taking.

The femme could see that Caden was thinking and pondering over the fact that Jayd had a kit growing inside of her and that he was going to be a big brother. It was good to give the kit some positive things to think about, to inform him that he as indeed a part of a new family now. In lad and Jayd’s eyes there were no questions about that now. They had made the decision to go rescue Caden and in turn to take care of him. That was all there was to it. They were a family, a growing family.
Jayd would have liked to talk to Caden more about the baby but soon their attentions were drawn to another plan in the making. They were to leave immediately on their honeymoon. Jayd nodded in excitement, even more so now that she knew that Caden actually wanted to stay with Luxe.
Jayd leaned into her new husband and nodded. ”That sounds like a lovely idea Ladorak. Yes we should leave as soon as possible. The sooner we leave the quicker we can return.” A few days on the ocean sounded perfect. The pair needed some private time together to do what the priest said, to get to know each other.

Luxe grinned as Caden walked over to him. It seemed that the kit had forgiven him for breaking his arm… Or he simply was overwhelmed by what was happening to him, which was understandable. Luxe smiled and knelt beside him. “Well, it’s about a 15 minute walk from here, or if you will climb up on my back I bet we can make it in less than 10.” He smiled and offered a paw to help the kit up, if he so choose to.

"Good idea....wait one moment love." Ladorak pulled himself away from his wife to head over to Caden to bid him goodbye. "Like I said Caden, we'll only be gone a few days....not long at all. Just for the weekend....back on Sunday night, I promise." He reached over and gave the kit a quick squeeze, not wanting to embarrass him or make him uncomfortable.
Caden stood there stiffly as the stoat hugged him, unsure of what to do. He moved off the deck of the Lotus with Luxe as the yacht prepared to cast off. Caden put his paws on his hips at Luxe's suggestion. "Hey...I'm 11....almost 12....I'm not 4....I can walk on my own." He smirked, but not in a mean way, just a look that said he appreciated the offer, but that he could do it himself.
The Red Lotus was cast off, and Ladorak watched and waved to the crowds as the red sails were readjusted to catch the breeze. A giant banner of "Just Married" was unfurled from the masts and used as a secondary sail itself. Caden watched the ship sail away and almost wished he were onboard...he wanted to get on a warship so badly....but Ladorak had told him his time would come.
"Alright....let's go." He looked up at Luxe with his pink eyes, and waited patiently for him to start leading the way.
------------------------------------------
Ladorak sighed as the Lotus caught the breeze and began heading away from the pier. "Oh jeez...." he took a moment to catch his breath and calm himself. "I really hope I'm going to make a good father Jayd. I've just....I came so close before and well.....never actually got to that step. I just hope that.....Caden is OK with us...and that I can handle the responsibility of having kits of my own."
He turned to her, adjusting his weight now that the ship began to rock with the sea. His sea legs were different from his land legs after all.

~Jayd
Jayd even followed up with Caden, giving him a kiss on the cheek and a small motherly hug. Softly she whispered to him, telling him that they would talk more about the baby when her and Lad returned, also assuring him that the weekend would pass by in the blink of an eye. Jayd wondered if he would tell Ladorak what they talked about or ask him about the new addition to their family. Time would tell.
Soon the newly weds were on the ship and talking. Lad voiced his concerns with being a good father. Jayd knew that he would be but she supposed that he needed to hear it from her lips. "Don't worry so much. You're going to be a great father. You do so well with Caden and he can see that. I can see him warming up to us." Jayd leaned into him and grinned as she placed her paw on her lower tummy. "But you have six more months to think about it my dear." Jayd chuckled and then awarded him with a soothing kiss to the cheek.

Luxe slapped his paws on his thighs as he stood up. "Alright then Caden, Lets be off." Luxe lead the way down the pier avoiding the various fisherbeast and others who were working around their boats. Near the end of pier, Luxe turned to Caden again. Realizing that the kit probably didn't have a change of clothes, he asked "Caden, do you want to stop by your house? Get some clothes and whatever you'll need for the weekend?"
((Short short short...))

"I...I do....you're right. And....and you're right. Caden....he was so young...he probably didn't have much attachment with his mother sadly. We...both of us...will do our absolute best in order to fill in as foster parents for him. May as well." Ladorak, grinned now, placing a paw upon her stomach. "It's good practice after all." He winked at her, his spectacles flashing in the sunlight. "And furthermore.....Caden needs a family I think...he needs to experience that growing up. Kits who don't tend to be a bit more....well I don't know, what's the word?" he folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Rough around the edges I guess. It already shows with Caden, and he will need a lot of work....but I think we can do it." He opened his eyes again, his green pupils looking directly at the jill. "Now then.....let's go and make the most of this honeymoon, shall we?" he beamed at her, taking her paws in his, and leading her to the aft cabins, intending to enjoy his time off to the full. -------------------------------------------- Caden nodded at Luxe. "Yes.....I'd like to go home and get some stuff." he said. It would mostly be the clothes that Ladorak had bought him. The stoat Commander had had to severely cut back on his expenses, but had bought Caden enough to last him a week. Caden also had a few other things he could think of to bring. Taking one last look behind him at the departing yacht, the albino sighed, and shifted his gaze ahead of him now. Time to think....time to ponder. See how much he could figure out with Luxe's help about what he should do about his situation with Ladorak and Jayd. END((OK! Decided to end it. Bookity if you want we can get the thread up with Caden staying at Luxe's place for the weekend if you like.  ) |
