It's been a few months now. Delilah doesn't even know she has a father. She's seen other kits with their father, like her siblings and never knew who Zarkon was. Zarkon and Elara honestly have no idea where they stand. Koltor is now 11, Bellatrix is 9, Zanthea is 7, Helthena is 5, Farah is 3, and Delilah is six months, her siblings' birthdays were more close to each other. At six months, she can talk in little syllables, calls Elara mama, but doesn't know Zarkon is her father. Right now she was in her mother's study in a playpen as her mother worked on a holopad.

Elara and Zarkon slept in the same room but rarely talked to each other. Elara was used to Delilah being such an angel that she didn't noticed that she crawled out the playpen and out the doors.

Delilah is a very curious infant and as she crawled through the halls she stumbled upon her emotionally distant father. Delilah looked up at him since she was tiny compared to him. She babbled to get his attention and she did. Zarkon turned and eyes exactly like his looking at him.

"Fantastic... The rat has found me...."

Elara's study-

"She's so quiet...'lila hun let's go it's for your feeding." Elara said and went check the playpen and saw her daughter was gone.

"Oh no..." She squeaked and bolted out the room.

Turtle and bebe-

"Come on rat. Go back to your mother." Zarkon huffed.

"Mama?" Delilah asked.

"Yes, go back to her." Zarkon hissed.

Delilah looked around and couldn't find her mother and she looked back at Zarkon and her lips quivered and her eyes watered.

"Don't give in Zarkon don't give in." Zarkon growled at himself.

He looked at her sad teary face and gave in. He picked her up and went to Elara's study and found her on the way, Zarkon held the baby out to her and Delilah immediately clung to her mother.

"Thank you." Elara muttered as she turned.

"Your welcome. Keep an eye on her, she's a little curious." Zarkon said.

"Yeah..." Elara said quietly and turned to leave.

"And make sure she didn't hurt herself..." He said.

Elara was speechless and nodded and then he walked away. He was suddenly less bitter. She felt a glimmer of hope brighten her life after so long.
