Breakfast with daddy

Lara woke up with a weird feeling. She felt warm on one side but cold and alone on the other. Where was one of her cubs?

She opened her eyes and sat on the bed, searching for either of the two. And she found them both, oddly on the same side. They were nestled one next to the other, sleeping diagonally because their feet and bottoms were in contact with her, but their heads were... Next to Nate.

She rubbed her eyes, using the little morning light filtered by the curtains.

«Hmm?» she moaned, still half-asleep. It was a dream, most likely.

However, it was a good dream. Seeing her kids accepting their father to such a decree warmed her heart, and she returned to sleep with no worries. Even if it was a dream, she still felt tired. Good thing she had time to rest.

Only after waking up a second time did she realise it hadn't been her imagination. Not at all.
