Still on Hiatus

Just popping in to say I am indeed still alive. Work has been a bit insane as I have taken a temp position as receiver while the normal one is out for his back surgery and healing time. The muse has waned due to that fact but I do hope to return to him sometime soon. I miss writing my sassy lion son.

Until then if any of you need me or wish to see where I am I’ve been on my other blog as of late. It’s my default one where the muse is strong.

HIATUS

It’s been kind of obvious I haven’t been on my lion son in a while. That is about to become a continued thing for a while until I hope to spark him back or have the time to just relax with his blog.

I have been bumped to full time status at my once part time job thanks to taking up a lot of hours covering for other people. My manager has no choice but to do it as the company will force it as I’ve been consistently working more than the 30hrs I was supposed to be doing for a part timer.

So it is likely to be seen that I won’t be around much until I can figure out how to allot my time more. Because of this, I’m putting Kovu on an official hiatus.

‘ shh, shh. you were dreaming. ’

It had been far too real. A darkness in his dreams evolving into his worst fears. His children ripped away from him in agony and pain. A war he could not stop. All of it had lead him to yelling out before his wife worked to soothe him from the depths of his mind.

He kept bend over at his knees panting while trying to calm his racing heart. He could sense his children were in fact safe but it still gave him anxiety remembering just how real the dream had been.

   More like harassing Kovu and teasing him on his new family. lol 

                the twins are most beautiful. you’ve heeded my word to look after my family quite differently than i’ve foreseen as last i’d thought i never spoke of sharing a bed with my granddaughter but whatever makes you happy. just know I̴͙͌ ̷̝̂S̵͆ͅE̸͕͝E̶̹̓ ̴̬̆A̴̫̔L̵̝̂L̴͖̊.

"Well, I didn't intend to fall for her and give her children but that's how the string was tugged. I'm sorry you can't unsee certain things but at least your bloodline can continue on and Thorn is quite happy.”

[princeoftheoutlands]

she's just gonna lead in a threeway kiss attack aLL over his face her & the twins they're attacking with all the love & affectionate bc they love daddy so much 😘😘😘

He should have seen it coming but he didn't. It was still strange to think of the holiday as being something more now than it used to be for him. Kovu was now a father himself and it still amazed him. Even as he was attacked by his children and wife, he couldn't stop smiling and returning the light kisses and gently rough housing back to them all.

"You all managed to get me after all." he teased.

@wiccanblood

Breakfast fit for a queen had been made and strawberries had been hand picked for the meal. Balancing the feast in one hand while another brought a thermos of warm tea, Kovu navigated the home to the bedroom where he would find his lovely wife with both of their children crawling all over her.

It was a sight that made him grin quite wide proud to have such a lovely little family. Without missing a beat, he set the thermos to the side table on Sally's side and waited for their children to settle enough to let him put the tray down over his wife's lap.

"Happy Mother's Day, my dear."

As a note for people who follow, I managed to line myself up a job starting Monday afternoon. I go in for training at 3pm EST so it should be interesting. It's for a store called Tractor Supply that handles agriculture things, pet supplies, clothing, small automotive stuff, some odds and ends as well as propane tank filling. So I'll likely keep busy with the part time gig. Just wanted to put up a little note on here.

                    “ kovu, matengemano. ” calm down, to pacify, & return to peace. he made her ANXIOUS, pacing around like a … well, for lack of a better term, a caged lion. of course, thorn understood why. seldomly had she even brought the matter to any sort of light but she suppose now it couldn’t be ignored. the fair had come to oakhaven & guess who just SO HAPPENED to conveniently find their way on the fast moving caravan in ? the dead give away was the entrance of balloons & music – namely the song she’d written about him, leaving her red faced. “ you KNOW he just took the job here to run into me, he’s just trying to get under our skin. i won’t let him get to me & you shouldn’t either. all done, munchkin ? ” cooing affectionately at her son in arms, thorn adjusted the from of her blouse back into place once she was done feeding, “ babe, trust me, i’m GLAD knuckles completely blew me off. i’m not mad about it. not anymore. if he hadn’t & the TOOL actually even considered choosing me over what he wanted i would’ve married HIM. i would’ve been … MRS. WOSINSKI. ” her face twisted to something sour at the very thought. “ these would’ve been HIS kids, with HIS ring on my finger, & i’d be stuck cleaning up HIS mess. & briar’s wishes were for you to watch over the family, you would’ve had to sit there & watch that; that’s a HORROR SHOW even I’D be terrified of. it’s in the gods plan: i was fated to have my heartbroken so when the pieces are back together they’d be ready for someone better. much better. ”

@princeoftheoutlands

Kovu had paced for a bit holding his daughter to him as he did so. She was happily babbling as he moved and eventually he listened to his wife to calm down. While his initial emotions were to be angry upon seeing the prick once more, she was completely right. She had ended up with him and Kovu was a much better fit in her life than Knuckles ever had been. However, it had brought back some memories from that time in Thorn's life for him.

He had been a stranger to her then but had made Knuckle's life a little  more miserable after he had hurt his charge so badly. It wasn't just bad luck that caused his mustard to explode all over him, or for him to end up with tiny accidents that bruised hands and toes. No, Kovu had a hand in all of that but he wouldn't come right out and state it  so precisely. In a way he wondered if the guy would even recognize him as it had been a long time ago.

Turning his attention back to his daughter, Kovu decided to play a little with her making faces and smiling to her to help ground himself. She was his tiny beacon while her mother was the pure lighthouse for him. Nonetheless, he adored both of his children greatly and it showed as he leaned down to kiss Thorn's cheek and tickle at his son's belly with his free hand.

"That is true and you and I make very cute babies if I do say so myself."

I've been MIA a good bit here lately. I've been keeping an eye on the house hold as my mother has been very sick for the last several days. I also have a job interview Monday afternoon so here's hoping that goes well when the time comes around.

[princeoftheoutlands]

I’m around but have been mostly over on @yunhuntress lately. If I’m not here, that’s where you all can mostly find me trolling around.

                    it hadn’t been … SO bad. perhaps it was just her final false alarm before the actual thing. yes, of course !! no big deal – another scream torn through her, another contraction. no, she couldn’t POSSIBLY reason this away, this was no mistake. this was the real deal & within a matter of short time she’d bring two bundles of joy into the world. unfortunately, her agony hadn’t allowed much room for celebration. eyes screwed shut she could only make out what was happening around her by sound. between the crowd, the footsteps against the stage, the buzz of stage lights, it all became deafening. however one voice of her savior stood out the moment he’d picked her up in her arms, “ i’m SO sorry - aaaAAAHH !! ” heavy breaths came out in small puffs of air past her lips, her head settled into the crook of his neck, “ this isn’t h-owwwWWWWW !! i wanted this to happen !! ”

                    blessed be her husband for being so patient with her. bless for taking the reigns when needed the most. blessed be the girls for being her doulas, her means of emotional support for beginning to this point … even when she had threatened to ring their necks during her off days. blessed be her parents for their guidance through this, the most beautiful moment of her living days. her thoughts on these, these blessings she was surrounded with, were the things that kept her sane with pushing through in intense pain tearing through her body.

                    an hour came & went. then two. & three. thorn was ready to either ready to push out new life here & now or take one if an ambulance hadn’t arrived. “ where – ?!! ” another scream, although less ear splitting. thank the GODS for kovu’s magick. but between contractions there was only but one minute. ’ they’re having trouble getting through. the traffic, the crowd, it’s WAY insane out there. ’ the tension in dusk’s tone made her nervous, ’ those two have to come out here & now. ’ thorn hadn’t wanted to. she REALLY hadn’t wanted to. she could kick herself for being so stubborn but … what’s done was done. if there was anything she could say they’d already had in common it was that they truly knew how to make an entrance. her own mother’s hand in hers, nyx’s body nuzzled against the other, through weary, watered eyes she looked to kovu before delivering a great PUSH, accompanied by a scream worthy of rattling the walls. the cries that came from their little boy were enough to send her into her own tears. only a minute later followed the cries of their little girl. heavy pants, trembling, aching … & the biggest sense of relief she’d ever felt, all wrapped in a euphoric feel, thorn’s arms wrapped around her figure holding herself together to regain composure, “ … talk about making an entrance. ” she brushed strands of hair that clung to the sweat of her brow with weak laughter, “ … how – how are they ? ” it took a few minutes but a blissful smile curled to her mouth.

With himself shirtless for the time being, he held both of his children protectively in his arms when he heard Sally's question. He took the time to kneel alongside her to offer her their daughter and son in time for her to handle them. Staying close, he couldn't stop from smiling wide as he had also added something else for their children. Little necklaces rested around their necks safely which would keep their magics from shapeshifting at random. It had been a gift from an old friend on his new found lease on life.

"They are healthy and happy babies my dear."

He beamed with pride before looking to the girls and his in laws. It may not have been the way Thorn had wanted it, but it had happened in the most natural place of all for her. Almost on center stage as she always had been. It was not lost on Kovu the mild laughter he could hear from the other side of the veil in those instances. Someone else had been present in the room that only he seemed to be able to feel intensely. An ancestor who appeared quite pleased at the sight of new children in her family line.

Once he knew the children were safe in Sally's hold, Kovu moved to clean up the mess as well as the slip on a dark green t-shirt that was clean. His previous shirts he had been wearing ended up being the little swaddling wrappings for his children. He returned to his wife and moved a hand to gently touch both of his children's faces realizing he was finally a father.

Part of him grew more terrified over the prospect of that fact. Could he be a good father given he had been raised to idolize one who had never been around him? Kovu wasn't so sure but he understood he had to try. Change was always possible if someone was willing to put the work in. He was proof of that.

"We're actually parents now and it's kind of terrifying." he murmured softly. "I hope I can be a good dad to you two."

wiccanblood:

                    despite all’s nerves being shaken to the core, she herself felt confident; more so than she had in some time. despite the tightening pains that came & went, the somersaults the two decided to preform in her womb, all these false alarms had lead her to believe she was to be deliver when expected: not for another week & a half or so. that gave her time to unwind, unpack, & relax until the young prince & princess decided to make their world premiere. & had her contractions become too much to handle, many of the members of the coven were an understanding fanbase, knew & followed her progress from maiden to mother. an in-between break, even a concert cut short shouldn’t light a fuse. it’s just as kovu had said: she wouldn’t be alone. she never really is or was. besides, within the span of a WHOLE 24 HOURS, what were the ACTUAL odds of going into labor within the next short 3 ?

                    taking stage had less of their traditional dramatic flair as of late: less lights, less fog. however the crowd cheered no less when the girls took to their places. a small sea, only but a few hundred in the audience since they’d started playing smaller venues for the time. smiling faces, excited shouts that drowned into one, signs the distance that read ’ CONGRATULATIONS THORN ’, ’ IT’S A HEX GIRL … & BOY !! ’ that almost made tears well to her eyes. as dusk counted them off the aches & pains seemed to push to the back of her mind.

                    … although that hadn’t seemed to last very long.

                    a two hours had come & gone. there was little issue, thorn taking time between songs to breath, adjust herself comfortably on the cushioned stool with pressure increasing as time ticked on, but nothing worthy of a full stop. pick gently strumming at her embellished guitar, thorn’s vice grip at its neck was firm but cautious. while pressure continued to build in the pit of her stomach & DROP TWICE she was certain had she squeezed any harder the wood was snap in her palm. & had it suddenly become UNBEARABLY warm or had that just been the stage lights ? last song before a break, no question. it was disguised fairly well, but she could feel her vocals trembling anyway.

                    for … perhaps not ? suddenly she felt a wave of relief. light, like a balloon had popped & released all pressure pushing against its sides … a water balloon, that is.

                    “ ♫ o-ooh he’s such a mystery,                     why can’t i let him know ?                     just how much i love him,                     how much i think of him.                     but i’m s- …scared to … AHH !! ”

                    her guitar tumbled to her feet, the music quickly coming to a stop as hushed murmurs fell over the crowd. while shortly lived, the liberation she’d felt was quickly replaced with a pushing AGONY. girls, before the bat of an eye made way to her side. all that could be managed was the cries of pain tearing through her as though was being split in two. by the small puddle of water at thorn’s feet, luna had managed to vocalize what thorn could not: ’ call an ambulance, it’s time !! SHE’S GOING INTO LABOR !! ’

Kovu had watched from the stage end for the night being close just in case. He could see the magic mixing in the air with the aura of his two children building shape more and more clearly before the last song started.

He sprung from backstage from the wings and quickly reached his wife. The children were growing stronger and his own magic began to peak through his eyes. Kovu made certain to keep them focused on his wife or to Dusk and Luna as they understood what he was properly. Some others in attendance did not.

"I've got you, babe." Kovu leaned down only to lift Thorn easily into his arms in a bridal carry. "Sorry folks, concerts cut short. Luna, when the ambulance gets here, make sure they come to dressing room. They'll likely make it after the kids are here. Looks like I get to be the one to play doc this go round."

Carrying Thorn off stage, he took a moment to scan the crowd to spot her parents and made a move off to the dressing room. His speed kicked in out of sight of the others to get her some place quiet, and more comfortable for what was to come. Her laid her gently back on the floor with aide of numerous cushions from the chairs and couch to have her in a more comfortable and natural position.

He peeled off his shirt layers shortly after dragging his duffel bag of supplies to the side. A few towels and blankets emerged along with two tiny amulets which were left to the side. Precautions to keep their babies from turning into cubs while in the public eye.

"I'm right here, Sally and I've got you and so does Nyx. We've got you."

Using his hands, he moved them to check on the progress of their children and used soothing healing to numb away some of the more intense pain for her. They were both eager kids wanting to be out in the world to drive them both out of sleep and energy.

Kovu continued to keep attentive and kept his shirts to the side. By the time the laboring was done, he had both children cleaned and up with Thorn in his flannel shirt and normal t-shirt. He did not mind losing the clothes for his children's sake and he couldn't help but smile wide at the sight of his new pride. The motherly glow from Thorn despite the sweat only made him fall more in love with her.
