Jack smirks as he recalls the embarrassment on his Sons face as he revealed that he knew all along about Tony being under the bed and chuckles as he cleans the dishes. He shakes out his mane, closing his eyes at the way Anne's Collar catches and tugs on the sensitive strands of fur before sighing "I wish you were still here..."
A noise brings him out of his thoughts and he cocks his head to one side as he hears movement from Leroys room. He shakes his head as he finishes tidying up...but smirks as he hears two sets of footsteps coming down the stairs and turns to greet his Son and his Mate.
Jethro stills at the deep growl and quickly tugs Tony out of the way before puffing up his fur and hissing at his Dad "NO!"
Tony whimpers and flattens his ears before tucking his tail inbetween his legs at the sight of the terrifying Feline.
Jack growls and roars in anger "How DARE you bring one of those disgusting Canines into MY house!"
Jethro snarls before roaring in outrage "He is MY Mate! He goes where I go!" with that he retracts his claws "You are my Father and I don't wish to fight you...but I shall not let you kill MY Tony!"
Jack lashes his tail while slitting his eyes as he goes to pounce...only to pause as a ray of the dying Suns light lands on his dead Loves portrait. He flattens his ears as he whispers "Anne? But...he is a Canine! A sworn enemy of our Kind!"
The light brightens before fading all together.
Jethro relaxes his aggressive stance and straightens "Dad...?"
Jack jumps at the noise and gaze at his Son before putting his own claws away "She has given you her blessing...and so shall I"
The Liger lets out a small sob and runs into his Dads arms, rubbing himself against the strong chest with a strangled purr.
Jack sighs and softly strokes his Sons small silver tuft of a mane before turning his gaze on the trembling Canine "I won't apologise for my reaction...but as long as you are faithful to my Son and wear his Collar-" he shrugs "-you are fine by me"
Jethro pulls back and wipes away his tears of relief "Thank-You Dad" he turns to Tony before heading over and rubbing himself against him "I love him"
Tony whines and licks his Mates face "I love him back!" he turns to face the Lion "He is my Mate and we shall be Mates for Life!" he flinches at the growl...but stands his ground.
Jack growls, but his eyes flash with respect as Tony doesn't back down. He turns to his Son "He can stay the night...but by morning I want him gone"
Jethro nods "Yes Dad, we shall leave first thing-" he holds up a hand "-as I need to make sure he makes it safely back to his side of the Lake...then I shall return"
The Lion slits his eyes before huffing "Fine then...I shall bid you both goodnight" with that he leaves them both in the Kitchen, watching him go.

Jethro curls up on top of Tonys chest, running his fingers through the black and tan fur and sighs "I am so happy he accepted us..."
Tony nods as he gazes down before smirking "It's a good thing that cloud moved out of the way and tricked your Dad into thinking your dead Mum would have accepted us! How stupid can you get!?"
A deep growl escapes his chest as he pulls away and bates his teeth in an angry snarl "It was my Mother! She showed us that she accepts you as my Mate!" he fluffs out his fur in an aggressive stance "Never let me hear you say that again!" with that he gets out of bed and tugs on a pair of shorts before heading downstairs.
Tony flattens his ears and hugs himself "I didn't mean to upset him" with that he tugs on his own shorts and hesitantly follows.
Jethro growls as he feels Tony pressing up against his back and gazes up at his Mothers portrait "It was her...I know it was"
Tony gazes up at the picture of the beautiful white Tiger and flattens his ears before nodding "Thank-You for accepting us" he turns to Jethro and licks his damp cheek "Yes Jethro...it was her, I am sorry I tried to make a joke out of it...I should have thought before I spoke"
The Liger wipes his eyes and huffs "I don't understand why I am becoming emotional...sorry for crying...it's just that I miss her so much" he gazes up into the forest green eyes "She would have loved you"
The Camine lets out a whine before gently picking up his Mate "My Mother would have loved you aswell...she was always so fascinated with Felines, ever since she saved a Kitten from being torn to shreds" he smirks "Just like I saved you"
Jethro chuckles and allows himself to be carried back to his room before nuzzling Tonys neck with a purr.
Tony bares his neck but chuckles as he hears and feels Jethros yawn. He glances down and gently rolls him onto his side before spooning up behind him and covering them both with the duvet "Sleep Jethro...I shall keep you warm"
The Feline nods and slowly drifts off into the darkness of sleep.
He watches his sleeping Mate and smiles as he nuzzles his neck...but sighs as he knows it isn't long until he is left alone while Jethro trains to be a Marine. He tightens his hold in worry...but loosens his grip at the silent grunt. He runs his nose over Jethros shoulder before pressing even tighter as he whispers "Please stay safe...I don't want to loose you" with that he licks his cheek before letting himself join him in the darkness of sleep.
