(yea sadly only temporary but nice to have a break! does it show in my writing that james also had a very good mood? ;))

"hey, i'm alway sprotective....but i also want to compesnate for last night.. you scared me you know, baby?" James whispered, but his smile told Horu he wasn't. "last night you've been so cold... i just wanted your affection again." he rubbed the tip of his nose against horu playfully. He separated a slight bit from Horu when they were nearer their children, but both of them smiled at their son's sharp observation. "Alright buddy, yea mommy and daddy are close today. it is because we are both very excited to be out as a familiy." he ruffled Henry's hair and lifted Johan up to put him onto the passenger's seat. "alright, off we go!"

the Leopard and tiger were in the same house, indoor and air-conditioned, James asked silently if Horu would join them this time. He carefully helped Horu up, he noticed Horu took a second to get his balance, so he had stayed with Horu this time. "hey Henry, Johan, you two go ahead? mommy and daddy will be catching up with you. Just one thing: no running. I don't want you to knock over people ok? henry, take care of Johan for me?" he said, asking the children to go in first while he helped Horu.

this time James kept his hand on Horu's belly. he grabbed Horu's waist so his wife could lean against him if he wanted. "Henry's becoming a very good brother, don't you think so?" he smiled watching his pair of sons walking together, hand in hand, ahead of people and Henry was protecting Johan brilliantly.
