That settled it, then. Gaylen squeezed C'lyn's hand lovingly as she hugged the child with her other arm. The idea that they would be ... a family ... had never occurred to the bluerider in all the turns the couple had been weyrmates.
She smiled at her mate with green eyes glittering with moisture, and then brushed her face against the tousled sandy curls.
"Rannell, would you and Wizzerd like to come live with C'lyn and me for a while? And with our firellizards, and our dragons Greylith and Alabanth (here, she sent warm love to her blue, assuring him that he would always be her number one)?"

As C'lyn stroked Ranny's curls, the child reached up and returned the caress, his soft little chubby hand running lightly over the greenrider's.
He tilted his chin as high as it would go to look into Gaylen's face as she spoke.
"I like that, Wizzerd like that. You be my new Gammy, and you," he smiled up at C'lyn, "Can be my new Papa!"

C'lyn smiled tenderly down at Gaylen and returned the gentle squeeze of her hand. He enjoyed seeing her so happy.
He listened as Gaylen asked the young boy what he would think of living with them and tilted his head to watch Rannell's reaction. He smiled as the boy called his weyrmate "Gammy" again, then his eyes widened as Rannell called him Papa.
That was something the greenrider had never been called before and it brought a strange lump to his throat. He swallowed and cleared his throat softly before speaking. "If that is what you want to call me Rannell, then I'll be glad to be your new Papa," he whispered, feeling moisture gathering in his own eyes.
