Zarkon and Elara were fast asleep after a long day of introducing the family to Zanthea and not stressing themselves too much. The parental instinct were thriving in them already. Zarkon was overprotective as hell, Elara's hearing, eyesight, and touch were way more powerful than before sheerly because she has three young children and she was more feline-like. Zanthea was asleep in between both of her parents so that waking them up would be a lot easier. She started fussing quietly and squirming a little, Elara's ears twitched, hearing her little whines.

"What's going on with her?" Zarkon asked.

"She's hungry." Elara groaned tiredly.

She picked up her newborn and adjusted her shirt so that Zanthea could properly latch onto her to have her fill. Elara struggled to stay awake as she fed her daughter and Zarkon sat upright and had her lean on him while she waited Zanthea to finish her breakfast at 1am.

"For somebody so tiny, I never thought she'd need that much milk at the time in the morning." Zarkon said with a chuckle.

"I'll say what I said when we had Koltor. Kits can be easy or fascinatingly difficult, You can't have both." Elara said.

"I can see that. We've been married for six years and you've never been wrong, The most painful thing in this marriage is the fact that my 4-year-old son and my 2-year-old daughter favor their mother over me." Zarkon huffed.

"I've been wrong before. I thought our second daughter was a boy. Clearly I was wrong and so were you." Elara said, now burping Zanthea since she finished her meal.

After a couple of pats she finally got a little burp out of Zanthea who babbled happily as she fell asleep against her mother's chest.

"What did I ever do wrong to make them prefer you over me?" Zarkon kept whining.

"Did you push them out of a very tiny home and take unbearable pain for more than 10 hours?" Elara asked.

"Well if you really think about it they kind of came out of me too..." Zarkon snickered, grinning like the Cheshire cat.

"Oh my gods Zarkon!" She laughed, hurling a pillow at him.

"It was a gift from me to you." Zarkon cackled.

The laugh attack continued for a while until they pulled themselves together so that they as well as Zanthea could get some sleep.

They were woken up 2 hours later...
