Victor Creed couldn't believe he had traded in his solitary life and turned over a whole new leaf for this. A cabin in the backwoods full of kids, five to be exact, almost all of whom looked just like him, with the exception of the youngest two, who had taken after his mate. It was actually kinda nice, except for when they got riled like they were right at that exact moment. Victor's grip tightened on the frying pan he'd been cleaning, but just as he was starting a mental countdown to calm himself, his aforementioned mate, Todd Tolansky, came in from putting clothes away in another room and rescued him.

"Why don't y'all go out and play?" The amphibian suggested, "Is a beautiful day and you guys promised you'd played with Sparkles more."

Sparkles was the large shepherd mix they had gotten as a sort of house warming gift before their second had been born. The kids all groaned in unison.

"Do we have to, dad?" The eldest, Elias, inquired.

"Is either that or help clean the house," Todd intoned, sternly.

"We'll be outside," And with that Elias and his siblings were gone, the kitchen door banging shut behind them.

"Let's not have another kid," Victor grumbled after a moment or two of silence.

"Agreed," Todd sighed and closing the distance between them, embraced the feral mutant from behind, "I love you, Vic."

"Love you too," Victor relaxed some, "Wanna help me with the rest of these dishes?"

Todd chuckled softly,

"Sure."
