Rozlyn, despite what she had always thought about herself, was a natural nurturer when it came to her children. Likely that wasn't the only time it managed to show through but it was doubtful many from her past would look at her and think mother. But despite her past, despite all the odds stacked against her, she was a mother...and it was am aspect of her life she never wanted to lose. As much as she loved it though she knew all too well that she couldn't simply sit inside playing mom for too long. Like Axel she needed action, movement, something more to keep her mind going. Two little demons around would certainly keep her moving but Rozlyn enjoyed working. Even if her normal work was a bit different then classrooms.
But still...she'd thought about her planned time off. And knew that if...things went the way she thought it might be even more needed for her to take a step back from the work she did love to pile on herself. She'd have to wait and see just how much time she had...and how far she could stretch it.
Oh Rozlyn knew that look from Axel, she had to smirk just a bit for it. That near argument just sitting there at the tip of his tongue but not voiced. He knew she didn’t want him gone from the room and she knew he didn’t want to be gone. But she knew Aidan needed the fatherly nudge and...well it wasn't like she was going anywhere. Even now she was worried about her boys concern, wanting to assure them that things would be fine. That motherly smile was all she had to help with that though.
"That dog knows better...and if he doesn't, don't tell me." so not what she needed to think about Goliath doing alone in the room. The kiss was returned to Xael's cheek and shortly after that to Aidan's as he rushed over and gave her as much of a hug and kiss as he could without knocking anything over. Of course he posed for a picture too. Big grin and all.
Aidan reluctantly left his mothers side, going back over with his brother. “Better be a looooooot of it…” he whispered back, not that his whispers were really all that great. But ice cream was always a good way to distract Aidan from just how much time was passing. Hopefully it wouldn’t leave him in a fun sugar rushed state to return to Rozlyn with though.
"See you boys soon." Axel sooner then the others of course, he wouldn’t be able to stay away long and she didn't want him to. Especially not as shortly after the troop left another contraction hit. The nurse was quick to be there though, maybe even quicker now that the big scary demon wasn't there standing over her.
