Kaden and Azura were training together. After a bit, they decided to take a break and chat. Azura thought about something. "What is it, Azura?" She kindly responded, "Oh, I just keep finding it strange that one of my closest friend is my in-law." Kaden responded, "Could be worse. I have this fox friend in the Hamlet who has an outlaw for an in-law." That got a laugh out of her. Then, Corrin and Selkie walked in to the training halls. Kaden happily greeted them. "Hey you two lovebirds. How's it going." Selkie responded, "It's going great, Daddy." "Is Corrin treating you well so far?" "You bet. Marrying him was the greatest decision of my life." Kaden looked at Corrin. "I knew you were the right person for her." Selkie asked her father, "Hey, Daddy. Want to play tag in the woods?" Kaden thought about it. "We haven't played it in a while. Okay. Hamlet rules?" "Yep, you gotta use your fox form." They transformed and started chasing each other out of the castle.
After a while, Kaden caught up to his daughter. "Ha. Look's like your old man still has a few tricks." Kaden said cockily. Selkie responded, "In my defense, it's hard to run when I'm pregnant." He responded, "Well, I wouldn't know. I'm a man so I...wait. WHAT?" She had revealed the secret to him. Kaden had a few mixed feelings, but in the end was happy about it. "I'm going to be a grandparent!" "Yeah, and a young one too, not that it matters since we're kitsunes and have long lifespans." Azura and Corrin walked up to the two. Corrin had previously told Azura the big news. They would be the two youngest grandparents in the kingdom.
The next two months were not exactly Selkie's favorite. She soon realized that she couldn't play as much anymore. She had to be less active. Corrin tried to remind her that once this was over, she would have a new child to play with. "What should we call him or her?" Selkie asked. "I always thought of the name Kana. It's nice and can be used for either gender." She responded, "I always like Marian if it's a girl or Nick if it's a boy." Corrin then remembered something. "We better plan for a deeprealm." Selkie felt a little mad. "What!? But I hated being without Mommy and Daddy and so did the other children. What makes you think our pup will be different?" Corrin sat down. "I know everyone hated it. But it's for his or her protection. Let me ask you something. Which would you rather lose? Experiencing our child's childhood or our child itself." Selkie thought about it. "When you put it like that..." "It's the only way. It may not be easy, but nothing in life worth it ever is." Selkie sighed. "You're right. Leave it to ol Teach." She teased. "Hey, I told you never to call me that." The two didn't spend the rest of the night grieving over the deeprealms any more.
The months flew by, but eventually the child arrived. a girl named Kana. They found that, like Shigeru, Kana was mostly human. Kaden had a bit of disappointment. Azura dragged him into a corner. He responded, "What? Is it bad that I'm sad that Kana isn't a complete Kitsune." She responded "Don't forget. Sumeragi and Mikoto are dead. We're her only grandparents." She thought to herself, and if we face an enemy so powerful I need to use my song at full strength, you may be her only grandparent. She continued talking. "Kaden, I want you to promise to me that you'll be the best grandparent ever." He nodded. "If it will make you happy, I will make Kana happy." They returned to Corrin and Selkie. Corrin was holding the newborn girl in his arms. Selkie said, "I can't wait to play with Kana in our future years. We'll play fox tag, hunt birds, and I'll train her to receive her Kitsune tail." Corrin nodded. He looked at his new girl. "I can't promise you that you'll have a normal life. You have a half dragon for a dad and a kitsune for a mother. But I promise from the bottom of my heart, you will have parents that love you no matter what.
They later found a deeprealm that was safe for Kana. After a few months, they left the deeprealm now that she was attached to the parents. Corrin told her, "I promise that we'll be back." With that, they left. They knew it wasn't the easy path, but it was right for their child.
