Chapter Text
Cris woke the next morning smiling, he was wrapped in his mates arms, James was still fast asleep, when they retired, he’d finally come to peace with what he did at MI6 and more or less left it behind him. This was his favourite way to wake up, curled against his mate, the sun was warm on his back as he nuzzled sleepily against him, James woke and kissed him, “hello” he whispered.
“Hello” Cris replied, curling up against him, “I love you” James whispered, “I love you as well” Cris whispered as he kissed him. Cris stretched feeling his bones click tiredly, the house was slowly waking up around them, the pups getting up, Abby barrelled into their room and jumped on the bed into James’ arms, “Daddy!” She squealed as he hugged her tight covering her in kisses, Cris joined in until their room was filled with peals of laughter from their daughter. Benny slowly walked in and was promptly scooped up to join their cuddle pile, it wasn’t long before their bed was filled with pups, the twins stood in the corner laughing as James and Abby threw pillows at them, this was more than Cris could have ever believed would have happened to him, that he would have a mate and seven pups, James was curled on their bed with their pups.
Cris sighed, “we should get up and start breakfast for this lot” as he said that, their youngest pup Eliza woke wanting a feed, James smiled and shuffled the older pups out to make breakfast, Cris settled back against the blankets as he fed Eliza, he loved all of his pups but the peace from the noise was something to savour.
James had cooked breakfast for everyone, he kissed each pup as they started to eat, Cris joined them after putting Eliza in a high chair, he smiled, life was perfect.
