Isaac laughed again, almost as joyful as the child in his lap. He didn’t mind in the slightest if Genesis had no boundaries around him. He was just glad to see that she had such natural and carefree curiosity like any child her age should.

He held still as she dove her little fingers in his long tresses, even when she accidentally tugged at a strand that hadn’t been completely detangled, but he didn’t even flinch, confirming what Cadi had said she could do with a firm nod.

“Salem wouldn’t come cuz he’s a punk,” the child babbled, trying her best to braid his hair like Cadi did to her own. She didn’t get it at all, but she was twisting his hair into more knots. 

“Genesis, your brother is not a punk, he just doesn’t like leaving your aunt Sable,” she chided, slightly exasperated at the child’s words. 

Genesis immediately sat down and pouted, not liking when she got in trouble. “Sorry momma..”

The look on her face had Isaac playing along, nodding at her question. She seemed like she was young enough that she hadn’t yet lost any of the innocence kids had at that age, so he’d happily pretend to be whatever had her looking at him like he was something out of a fairytale.

He’d noticed that she didn’t seem to care about the notepad, so he figured gestures might be better for communicating with her as he pointed to himself, then made a gesture for ‘tall’ and then playfully bared his teeth and curled his fingers like claws to signify wolf, before pointing to her, gesturing for ‘small’ and repeating the wolf face but hunching his shoulders and pulling his hands in closer like he was pretending to be a tiny one.

Her eyes widened further until her eyes about bugged out of her head. “I knew it!” she exclaimed, turning to look at Cadi like this was the greatest day of her life. 

His gestures for wolves were not lost on the child and she giggled brightly. It was enough to make Cadi smile sweetly, fully relaxed as she watched them play. “Momma Cadi said I can call you papa!” she chirped happily as she practically stood up in his lap and began playing with his hair. 

“Told you she has no concept of personal space.”

“Makes sense,” he muttered in acknowledgement, just barely dodging as a couple of the pups came barrelling past in their chasing game.

“Not likely to even tell anyone I know what I am now, much less where this place is, to be honest.”

She swatted at the pups as they darted by, but her expression was soft, almost loving as she did so. The kids were little trouble makers, sure, but they were family.

“You’d be surprised how well some normies take to our kind. Now go on, Arkos don’t bite.”

The little girl’s comment had the wolf chuckling as he stood back up. Indeed, he must have seemed as such to one so small and young.

He took a step back to let them both into the room, sitting down on the bed so that Cadi could let Genesis down and allow her to explore on her own terms. He still had the notepad nearby, flipping it back to the first page he’d written on earlier. He wasn’t sure if Genesis could read yet, but he held up the sign anyway to greet them both.

Genesis didn’t even bother to glance at the notes as she pulled herself up onto the bed and sniffed around. He still smelled like Cadi had when she had come home so that helped. Without much thought, she climbed into his lap and stared up at him wonder. 

“Are you a giant?”

mythsandmonsters:

Isaac had been taking the opportunity to rest more, dozing peacefully but not quite fully asleep so the sound of knocking had him awake in seconds and getting up to cross the room to open the door.

He smiled warmly at the sight of Cadi before his gaze fell on the little girl, so tiny in comparison to his full-grown werewolf stature that he immediately felt the need to crouch more to her level so he didn’t seem so intimidating.

Cadi smile in return, still a little hesitant, but not quite as shy as she had been earlier. “This is Genesis,” she introduced as she lifted the pup up in her arms so he didn’t have to crouch or anything. 

Genesis stared at him with wide eyes before whispering loudly to Cadi, “He’s a GIANT!”.

Fingers dug into the soft flesh at their neck, cutting off their air supply. There were other ways he could handle this, plenty of magic up his sleeve, but sometimes he preferred a more hands on approach. “I know that I can be rather lenient, but it is unwise to test me.” His grip slackened enough to allow the other to speak once more. “Would you care to repeat that more politely?”

“Go. Fuck. Yourself,” he snarled, refusing to back down. He was done being anyone and everyone’s puppet, but Yin was the breaking point for it all. He wasn’t going to give the other the satisfaction of him being any degree of polite.

Getting Genesis to sit still long enough to have a brush run through her hair had been a hassle and then some. The moment Cadi had come home smelling like Isaac, the pup had gone into a frenzy demanding to meet him too.

Once she had gotten the kid dressed and decently presentable, Cadi got Chance to drop them off. With a smile, she straightened the girl’s clothes one last time, for what little good it would do, and knocked on the bedroom door.

If he was smiling at what Genesis might call him, he downright broke into a grin when Cadi asked that. Of course, he’d love it if all of his kids chose to call him some variation of Dad, but that wasn’t a request he could make until they were comfortable enough to even spend any sort of regular time around him.

He nodded to answer her, settling back into stroking her hair and cradling her like she was little again.

His response had her relaxing entirely, her relief nearly palpable. This was going a lot better than she had been expecting to and she was glad for her decision to come meet him. 

“I could bring Genesis around later, if you wanted? Sable has physical therapy today, so I don’t think she’d be up for it.”

Isaac nodded eagerly, though he was still feeling very exhausted himself, so even if meeting one of his grandchildren meant sitting there while the child climbed all over him, he wouldnt pass up the opportunity.

“She never stops talking when she’s comfortable with someone though,” she warned, the fondness she felt over niece evident. She loved that child with her whole heart. “She’ll probably tell you all about everything and everyone. She’s how Vaughn and I met.”

Isaac made a small, huffed laughing sound. The child could do all the talking she wanted, especially since he wasn’t able to for now, so he didn’t mind in the slightest so long as his lack of speech in return didn’t upset her at all.

“She’s going to love you,” Cadi repeated, nuzzling at him a little as she made herself more comfortable. She was about ready to just fall asleep right there.
