“We can handle it, Flynn. You’re the one who seems to not be able to handle it. Feed your children, let me cuddle my grandbabies, and then I’ll make cookies. Or a steak. Or…”
There was no need.
“I don’t eat.”
She didn’t miss a beat.
“I know.”
Again, she side-eyed Jolie, as if it were her fault that Flynn didn’t need to eat. Uh, that would be Rinnon’s fault because he could eat now.
Honestly, the climate of the room went down a bit, so she would take it.
Do you want me to smite her, Little One? Because I can do it. You distract Flynn, and I’ll take her out. I know. Show him your breasts.
She laughed in her head.
You have to return the sense of humor back to Flynn when he wants it back, my love.
Darn. It gets the ladies so…
I’ll smite you if you try that with anyone but me.
They all heard the chuckle, and since this was Rinnon’s space, no one was surprised.
Because the babies were hungry, Flynn opened his arms, and he was ready to take care of their children. They weren’t really babies anymore, but toddlers. Still, to him, his daughter would always be a baby.
“Azriel and Angelique, come to me,” he said, and the babies leapt from Jolie to go to him.
Immediately, he compulsed them.
Why?
They had little impulse control and when they were hungry, they got bite-y.
Little ones, these are your grandparents. Show them how you eat on your best behavior, and don’t be demons. Give them a day or three to adjust.
Immediately, they settled down, and he sat beside Jolie to do what he needed.
With love, he gave each child a wrist. As they opened their mouths, Flynn’s mother gasped. It was clear they saw the teeth, and he had warned them.
They had rows and rows of sharp teeth that would fall out, and become their adult teeth. They would allow them to hide in plain sight, and only draw out their fangs when they were feeding or fighting.
Settled in, the babies fed.
Dadda.
My littlest demon. I love you. You are my sweet little girl, and I’ll never stop loving you.
His child fed voraciously because who didn’t like demon God blood?
Because Jacques couldn’t be there, he sent love into Angelique for her father so that she wouldn’t feel left out. They made a pact that the children would know nothing but love, so history didn’t repeat itself.
No one needed angry Death and Fate gunning for their fathers.
Been there.
Doing that.
