Month 1 : On the Move
It had been eerily quiet since Wyatt's outburst.
Sadie had told given him a good earfull, and not long after Warren had returned to his mother, a social worker requested an interview with Wyatt, and another with Sadie in the room.
The social worker made it very clear the male's actions were not ideal, and if there were any further issues he would be removed from the picture.
Sadie wasn't sure if he'd backed off because of her warnings, or if the social worker had given him enough of a jail scentance to scare him off a bit.
She just hoped it would be enough.
The bundle squirming in her arms brought her back to the present, and she smiled to her Sternenstaub reaching up to her face.
"My boy." she smiled to him, leaning her head forward, nuzzling him.
Sadie gently placed Warren down on the rug. He was begining to push himself up on his hands and knees and she figured he was ready to learn how to crawl. She backed two feet from him and laied down on her own stomach, patting the rug in front of her. "Come on, my little Stardust! Come on!"
Warren smiled widely and began pushing his arms out to the sides. After a few tries, and failures, he figured out what made him move forward, and shakily wobbled on all fours to his mother.
She picked him up when he made it and nuzzled him. "Look at you!"
She repeated this again a couple times, soon she was barely able to get back far enough before he was on her again.
"You're fast!" She laughed.
Once more she placed him a distance on the rug, but this time he veered to the right, moving under the table and wanders off, a smile on his face the whole way. Now that he could move around, he was going to see what he could do.
"Where you going, little Stardust?" She chuckled.
He wanders over to the bookshelf and touches the red hardcover book. A quick shift of his arm on a corner left a cut on the side of his hand and she braced herself for him to start crying.
But he didn't; he looked at the cut and licked it. He appeared ot be more confused than hurt.
He saw his mother watching him and began crawling over to her, smiling.
"There's my big, tough boy!" She crawled over to meet him and picked the boy up. "You don't fuss over the little things, do you?"
He had given her an idea; it was something most Blutbadden had done almost immediately after their birth. Sadie had never before cared about the results, but she tested him now, if only out of curiosity; she gently rolled him over to his back and held her hand on his belly keeping him in place.
Warren smiled and batted at her hands playfully, this being just another game ofr him.
The test was simple and his responce was quick.
An Alpha wouldn't allow being on his back to quiet his personality.
A Subordinate would stop moving, freezing in fear.
"You are an Alpha, aren't you? You fear nothing." She chuckled.
Well, except for one person, but she would deal with him later.
Right now, Warren had attempted to bite at her and she releaced his belly, nipping at him playfully.
A chime of the clock on the wall broke out her peaceful bliss. She sighed, picking her precious boy up, and placing him in his high chair.
He made a whine, unhappy his game had ended.
"I'm sorry, my little star. I have to make dinner."
Sadie was busying herself in the kitchen when a small sound caught her attetnion from the hihgchair nearby.
She peered in to see Warren squirming and making a 'Mm-mm' noise. His eyes were closed agian and he didn't see her there, but continued his noises anyway.
Soon, after a few more tries, 'mmmmah' was added to the 'Mm-mm'.
Sadie watched her tiny boy in amazement as he began repeating "Mm-mmah. . . mmah. . mah, mah!"
Sadie felt tears in her eyes as she picked up her son. "Yes, my little Stardust! I'm mama!"
Warren's eyes opened, those bright golden pupils looked up happily into his mothers deep auburne eyes.
" 'Mama'!" Sadie repeated, and Warren did the same.
"Mmama!"
She held Warren up to her face and he held on to her hair.
"I am so proud of you, my little Star. You will shine brighter than any Blutbad before you."
He now learned how to get her attention.
And he was going to use it.
