“Daddy brought home a puppy!!!” Gwen shrieked, bouncing around Jeff’s legs like an over eager rabbit. Tucker was less impressed, a scowl on his lips as he sniffed at the air. It wasn’t a puppy and he didn’t like feeling lied to by anyone.
“Not quite,” Jeff amended softly as he settled the young shifter down on the ground. “A new little brother. I need you to show it’s safe here because he’s scared. I’m counting on you,” he instructed Gwen, the words soft despite the empty look in his eyes.
Gwen didn’t need to be told twice as she dropped to all fours and scurried over to him, immediately letting her eyes change color. “HI! I’m Gwen! I’mma take good cares of you!” she chirped brightly. “An’ that’s Tucker! He’s gonna help but he’s still a puppy too, so he can’t help a lot a lot.”
It didn’t bother her if he was scare, she could wait until he was comfy to shift. Until then, she was scooping him up as best as she could and half carrying him into her blanket fort.
“Tuck! Come on! You gotta help!”
With a sigh far too exhausted to be coming from a toddler, Tucker followed, but not before giving their dads a look that said he clearly wasn’t as thrilled as Gwen.
