Ever since Moth had been returned to them from the Pitt by Nikolai, Aurum had been keeping an eye on his sister from a distance. Not because he didn't want to be near her or anything, but mainly for her own benefit. He had no doubt that she was already being smothered with worry and love and relief that she was back by Selby, and the proxy didn't want to add onto that or worsen her stress. Plus, the older of the two had definitely begun to notice that she was getting closer and closer to the day of the birth. He was sure it was overwhelmingly obvious to her, but it was obvious to the rest of them as well, what with her swelling stomach and heavy, slow steps. He was sure that she wanted her space, at least until the time came where she would finally be delivering the children, and wound have a sweet bit of profound release. He couldn't even begin to imagine how happy she would be, considering how nervously delighted and excited she had been when she had announced the news to both he and Selby. She was going to make an utterly amazing Mom, and that was one thing that Aurum was sure of. Now all he had to do was make sure that he was an amazing uncle, and a supportive brother. He liked to think that he had been doing decently at that, but he couldn't help but feel that little niggle at the back of his head. That little voice that reminded him that he was a monster to some, and he could really fuck this whole uncle thing up if he did something wrong.

The proxy had been passing by Moth's house on his way back from a patrol when he decided to stop in, figuring that she wouldn't mind a visit as long as he made it quick. After all, he couldn't imagine how boring it must've been to just be sitting around, waiting for the children to finally be ready to come out. However, once he pushed open the front door of the house and stepped inside, opening his mouth to announce himself as he followed Moth's scent, he found himself shocked into silence. There was Moth. And there was five little, adorable kittens curled up next to her. His heart almost immediately skipped a beat at the sight of his sister with her children, and he felt a grin stretch over his muzzle before he could even think about it. He could see her paying particular attention to one of the kits, but he figured she was just brushing back the girl's fur, so he found his tone still happy as he mumbled softly, "Moth... Moth, congratulations. I'm so happy for you..." He padded a little bit closer, stopping and sitting once he was near her side. He felt a sense of anxiety settle over him, if only because of the massive size difference between he and the little children curled ar his sister's belly. His eyes scanned over each and every one of them with a calm, overwhelmed smile, feeling so deliriously happy that Moth had given birth without any complications... that is, until his eyes landed on the one Moth has been grooming and looking over. Pausing, the male frowned before saying softly, a bit of hesitation and worry betrayed in his tone, "Is... is she alright?"
