It was one chilly evening. The doctor-in-training, Haku, just recently got a call from one of the Ys potential inhabitant. Why potential? Because apparently, this Digimon need a certain facilities, and unfortunately for them, the available housing with such facility are completely booked. Thus, Hikaru asked them to wait a while longer, which apparently is fine with them. Even then as potential citizen, their healthcare and such are still taken care of by Ys. And that means, they'll be sending medical attentions to them whenever needed. Haku is one of these aids. Unfortunately, his power has yet stabilized so he only can help those of Adult stage and below.
...This is where the story get a bit unfortunate.
The client is a Perfect stage, and there are no doctors ready to help them. Haku had to take this matter into his own hand. Granted, it takes a lot longer than curing an adult stage, but thankfully thanks to his quick response, they're able to recover. Unfortunately for him... in his haste, he has forgotten to check weather forecast. There is a blizzard so thick that he could not see anything past five meters range, even as Saint Gaogamon. He already pressed SOS signal, but to his utter dismay, the storm is too thick for the signal to penetrate through.
Lost and hungry, the Samogaomon had to push forward. Even when he have a map in hand, he's not sure if he could survive a fight against local Digimons. His body getting heavier and it felt harder to move forward. He was about to just give up and wait.. Maybe conserving energy would do him better... but when he opened his eyes... he saw...
A door?
It worth checking out.
Haku knocked the door several times, hoping to catch attention of whoever is in.
"Excuse me! I'm sorry to impose, but can you please... let me rest here until the storm dies out...?" his voice sounded weaker than he liked. What a sucky day.

Sten the WereGarurumon had been sleeping when he heard the knock on the door. The blizzard didn't bother him, he was used to blizzards out here in his lonely cabin in the Tundra. He grumbled as the thud on the door stirred him. His yellow eyes opened to take in the sight of his now familiar two-room house. The fire was a little low, so he took the initiative to put another two logs on it to get its heat back up, since he gathered that a lot of it would escape when he opened the door to tell whoever it was to go away and leave him alone. That was how life was for the grizzled old werewolf digimon. He knew that there were other places where he could live, but he didn't want to go near them. Not since the last city he had lived in and what happened to it. It had been over a century ago, but, Sten never really recovered from the fall of the Digital World Republic, or DWR as it was known. It had fallen to corruption, treason and war, and he wanted no part in whatever city would fall next. It wasn't that Sten had lost his comfort alone, he had lost his husband, and then his son. He wanted no more part of the bullshit of this world. The door to the hut opened, and the 2m tall WereGarurumon loomed over the visitor as the blizzard roared around them. Sten glared down at him for a moment, but his face softened a little when he took in the sight of him. A little white Gaomon, lost in the storm. Not even Sten would turn him away in this weather. "Well, come in, the longer we're out here, the colder it'll be inside" he said in a gruff voice, inviting him inside. What harm would it do? He was just a Child level. When the blizzard was over, Sten would send him on his way of course, but for now, he'd be hospitable. Besides... there was something in this fluffy white digimon's face that seemed... familiar to him.

...The door swung open, and what's outside shocked him greatly. A WereGarurumon? A perfect stage? Holy, he's not sure if this is a good idea anymore. He was about to probably apologize for bothering him, but... instead, his expression softened and invited him in. Well... that would be rude to reject, right?
"T-thank you for your hospitality, sir."
Haku walked inside, his medical bags slightly dragging thanks to how tired he's feeling at the moment. Soon, he could feel warm again. It felt nice to be more energized. He shook snows on his fur away. He had no idea what to do for the meantime, so he guess he'll begin to explain about his circumstances.
"I'm sorry to impose. My name is Haku, short of Hakuoro, I'm... a doctor apprentice, I guess. Doctor in training actually..." Haku fixed his headband a bit. "I had a bit of a mishap to not check the weather forecast before I headed out on an emergency house call. Um, I don't have anything with me at the moment but some medicines. Maybe as a thanks for your hospitality, I can offer some medicines for anything, Sir?"
...this Were Garurumon is imposing, but something inside him felt warm around him. Something felt familiar...
GROOOOOOOOWL
...and that moment was ruined by none other than his own hungry stomach. Haku's white fur tinted with pinkish hue at how embarrassed he is.

Sten merely gave a nod and allowed the little digimon inside, closing the door after him, shutting off the freezing winds. By now, the fresh wood on the fireplace had caught fire, and the bright flames illuminated the room as the heat returned. Sten let the digimon shake off the snow, then invited him to sit on a chair close to the fire. He saw at once he was carrying medical equipment, and recognized his importance. "Does that equipment need to be warm or cold? Best find a safe place for it" he asked, sitting down on a chair further away from the fireplace. He listened to the digimon's explanation. His name was Haku, and he offered some medicine in exchange for his hospitality. Sten shook his head. " That won't be necessary, others need it more than I do." he said. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Haku. My name's Sten. I'm... pretty much a digimon in retirement. I prefer to be left alone, but, I'd never turn away a doctor or a healer, or even one in training."
Sten's ears perked up at the sound of Haku's stomach growling. The WereGarurumon gave a small grin. "Food as well, eh? Well, not to worry, I'll fix you up something. Might take a little while to get the stove hot enough, but you can surely last until then, right?"He stood up again, walking to the fireplace, setting up a frypan over the fire, suspended with a metal rack. The fireplace doubled as the stove, Sten thought it most effective for its functions to be combined. "I know an old recipe that my son liked. Cinnamon pancakes. That sound good to you?"Looking at Haku again, it reminded him a little more of his long lost son. Sure, Jaelin's fur was blue and white while Haku's was longer and pure white, but, there was a kind of similarity between the two. Now that they were warmer, there was something about Haku's scent that made Sten recognize him somehow. He didn't know what, but, that was irrelevant at the moment, he supposed.

"Oh don't worry sir! This is an artifact. It kept the temperature constant and I can keep the content in its optimum condition!" Haku answered. "But if you don't mind, would you mind tell me where I should put this? I don't want to put this on random place, heh heh...."
Preferred to be left alone, huh... "Nice to meet you, Mr. Sten! That's quite an unique name. Are you not a local perhaps? Thank you for not turning me away, eheh... I admit people around here preferred to be left alone and especially in this sort of weather...
...And food will be nice, yes..." the last part was spoken with voice so small. He's so embarrassed! Already he's asking for food from his benefactor? Geez, Haku...! Pops would scold you! Still, the Samogaomon's ears perked up when he heard about Cinnamon Pancakes.
"Oh boy! That's one of my favorite food! Daddo often cooked it for me! He said it's his favorite food too!" he still remembered when he first evolved into Samogaomon, Owen treated him to that pancake. It tastes really great, like taste of victory.
"A-ah... I got too excited there... sorry," Haku sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "But I never thought I'd eat Cinnamon Pancake here! Cinnamons are rare around this part aren't they?"

An artifact that regulated the temperature? Sten was impressed. "Well, seems you've got a good head on your shoulders that you'd plan for something like that ahead of time. As for where to put it? This should do."He opened an old cabinet by the wall near the entrance to the bedroom. Within it was some old treasures that Sten had kept all these years. If Haku looked, he would see an old khaki military tunic that would have still fitted Sten today, with a faded 7/71st Recon badge visible on the sleeve. Furthermore, there was an old photograph, by now rather faded, but still had the outline of Sten and a Gaomon standing proudly. Most of the rest of the cabinet was either bare or having some old piece of junk, but there was still an internal drawer that was kept clean and hopefully sterile enough for medical equipment. He would let him store the equipment in there. Sten was then a little surprised to hear that cinnamon pancakes was Haku's favourite. The WereGarurumon grinned. "Heh. Talk about coincidences, eh? It was the thing I cooked for him on the day he evolved from Wanyamon to Gaomon, and he loved it ever since. Even though he was supposed to be used to all the military gruel they served him, he'd always enjoy this when he came home to visit."He acknowledged that it was rather rare as he walked over to the bench by the fire to prepare the food. " Cinnamon is rare up here, yeah, but, I make orders from the South. The Trailmon are pretty reliable in bringing fresh stock here, especially now that Snowflake Village has been rebuilt."With that, Sten prepared the recipe. Milk, eggs, flour, vanilla, caster sugar, baking soda, and lastly the cinnamon, which he ground into powder before adding it to the mix. Then, once the frypan on the fire was nice and hot, he placed a stick of butter upon it, stirring it around with a spatula, then placed large metal rings on the pan, then poured the mix into it. It sizzled away merrily. "So, Haku, you mentioned you have a dad..." Sten remarked as he waited for the pancakes to cook. "What's he like?"

Haku moved to put the bag to the cabinet... but then stopped. "...Oh, my... this tunic.. why, it looked a bit familiar... Why, my daddo also have something similar. He wore it once in my parents' wedding! It's really cool! Almost like a homecoming of a hero, you know? The badge also looked similar now that I think of it. Are you perhaps a mate of my dad or something, Mister Sten? That would be cool!"
Haku's innocence kind of seeps though as he looked excitedly at the apparel. "...Ah, you have a picture too... Oh, it's a Gaomon? ...Mmmm, I don't think Daddo looks like this... He's a bit more dorky, like what you'd expect of a doggo driving tractor on the background. His eyes also looked softer... hmm, hmm~"
But more than this he guess would be rude. He put the medical apparatus on the drawer and stepped back. Let's not be rude to benefactors!
"Not to be rude, Mr. Sten, but I feel like military gruels are the worst," Haku admitted sheepishly. "Then again, if you asked me which one I'd love more, a military gruel or my daddo's failed cooking, I'd pick the latter over the former. There's love in cooking of people you love you know? And no matter how bad it is, your heart would be more satisfied to eat with your family than in the battlefield I think."
Snowflake has been rebuilt, yes. "Oh, I'm actually from farther north you see. The name of the place is Ys. It's an ancient city! We're rebuilding there, me and my Pops! Well, Daddo lives in Rosewood until few good months ago, but now he often stays in Ys!"
A dad eh? "Actually, I have two. My Pops is a Dorumon named Hikaru... he's the leader of the city. I wouldn't call him a mayor, but everything in the city is in his watch. He's generally a goofy, slightly narcissistic Dorumon with love to experiment on foods and drink. He's quirky, love to joke around and is a bagpipe master! Oh yeah, he also wears kilt! His special ability is to sparkle anywhere, anytime!
My Daddo meanwhile is a Gaomon named Owen. He's taller than my Pops by a head or so. Not as fluffy either... Daddo is an adventurer nowadays, but he's part of 7/71st Recon Unit in the past he said. A bit of hard to believe considering he always appeared in such dynamic way. Now he's a teacher in Rosewood, teaching children there of a bit of survival and all that. Due to my job I often stick with my Pops most of the time, but when Daddo came I can't help but to get excited too!"

Sten's yellow eyes widened as Haku looked at his tunic and said it seemed familiar. That his own father had something like it, even wearing it at his wedding. Initially he thought he was joking, but, such words coming from this digimon's mouth seemed authentic to him. Haku asked if he might have known his dad. "I might have..." Sten returned, speaking quietly so his voice wouldn't shake so much. "It's a little hard to remember though, the 7/71st Recon of the DWR hasn't been around for over 100 years."Then Haku saw the photograph, and mentioned that his father was a Gaomon too. By now, too many coincidences were piling up for Sten not to take notice. The familiar scent, the feeling of warmth, the cinnamon pancakes, the fact that both Haku's father and Sten's son was a Gaomon. Indeed, not as serious as the one in the picture. "Jay used to be pretty fun and dorky, but, war changed him a lot." Sten admitted. He could smell that the pancakes were ready to be flipped over, so the WereGarurumon returned to the stove, flipping the four pancakes over so they would cook on their other sides. As he did so, he smiled at Haku's words. "Yeah, I guess you're right there" he admitted. Then Haku said that he was from further North, from the city of Ys. "Hm. Haven't heard of that place before. You're rebuilding it? Hm... maybe I'd like to see that place someday." he remarked. Then Haku said he had two fathers. Hikaru the Dorumon sounded rather fun. Sten smiled as he imagined a goofy narcissistic Dorumon with a kilt and bagpipe. "He sounds charming for sure." the WereGarurumon admitted. The pancakes were now fully cooked, and so Sten removed the pan from the stove, moving them to the bench, where he prepared two plates, each with two cakes. Sadly, this far North in the freezing cold, there wasn't much place for syrup, since it'd be rock hard most of the time. But his pancakes were sweet enough so they wouldn't be needed. Sten then took knives and forks from the drawer, then gave Haku his meal, before sitting down near him with his own meal as the white Gaomon talked about his other father. He too was a digimon of the 7/71st. That made Sten freeze up for a moment in realization as the gears clicked in his mind. His son, Haku's father... could they be the same digimon? "Out of curiosity, Haku, is your father's name... "Jaelin"?" Sten asked, his digicore beating hard as he realized the implications if that was true.

"A hundred... huh, but Daddo only been around for about... thirty or something digital years? I don't quite remember, but Daddo and Pops got quite the age difference..." Haku scratched his cheek in attempt to remember. "Then again I guess Pops got more experience as higher level, heh heh."
So the name of the guy in this photo is Jay? It sounded familiar, but he can't quite put where he heard it before... "War changes people huh... I guess... that's how it is. That's too bad though."
Sten want to go to Ys? "Well why don't we go there when the snow has died out then~?" Haku offered. "It's nearby, and I don't quite think I'm all that rested up yet to evolve..."
Why does he insist on doing this on stranger? It felt odd... especially because Haku knows that while he's always friendly to everyone, he's not the type that would suddenly ask someone to go with him to his house... It just... felt strange... Strange, but right.
"Oh, Pops is charming alright. I mean, he made Daddo nosebled in their first date," he answered between giggles. "It was something."
Haku sliced the pancake and savored the taste... Yep, this tasted the same like the one Owen made. The young Gaomon's tail wagged in happiness. He was about to eat another bite when Sten asked a question...
"Hmmm?"
...Jaelin? Jaelin, Jaelin... At first, Haku was about to say that 'no, my father's name is Owen', but... deep down inside, in his Digicore, that name resounded true as if that's his father's name. Putting two and two together, Haku lowered the fork and knife.
"...Well, my father's name is Owen but..."
He looked at Sten's eyes and smiled sheepishly. His eyes looked a bit moist "...He's indeed named Jaelin in the past, Grandpappy."

Sten mulled over what Haku was saying here. So his father was only 30 years old? Yet... digimon could be reconfigured, that was as far as he knew. And in the mess of the final days of the DWR, Sten knew that some digimon had been so messed up that it would take decades for them to be restored. The WereGarurumon nodded sadly as Haku acknowledged his statement. "Jay was a really sweet kid. Yeah, he'd love going out on adventures, and more often than not get into trouble so of course I had to keep tabs on him so I wasn't far away when he had accidents, but, when he joined the DWR military, he became one of the most talented and gallant Captains it had ever seen... he even won the Fire Cross medal, one of the greatest awards at the time, but it was... posthumous."Sten's eyes watered a little with tears as he remembered that day. When he found out that his son was dead but he would be replaced by a red painted medal. He would have exchanged it in an instant to have his son back on that day, but, he knew it was impossible, so, instead he simply hid it away with the reverence it deserved. Haku then mentioned that they could visit Ys together. Sten looked up, thinking that would be a nice thing somehow. They ate their pancakes for a little while as they talked. Sten chuckled at the fact that Hikaru had made his partner nosebleed from the amount of seduction involved. But he looked directly at Haku when he said his final conclusion. Haku said that his father's name was Owen, but, he was sure that in the past, it was Jaelin. And at once, Sten realized this. He was about to drop his plate, but put it on the table just in time as he realized the ramifications of this. His... his son was alive. And this digimon here... oh... tears were streaming from his eyes as he realized. "Oh Haku... my grandson..." the WereGarurumon whimpered, then approached him, knelt, and offered his open arms for a hug. He didn't know what to say. In a mere minute, all he had known in this wretched life had been changed. All of it fell together. He now knew why Haku's scent was so familiar, how he knew what the 7/71st was, and why his digicore felt so warm when he was nearby. There was no other possibility. Sten had at last made contact with his family - a link lost for over 100 years. "You're welcome to stay as long as you want, pal" Sten told him. "And... when the weather eases up, and when you've finished your medical visit... I'll help you of course, could you show me back to Ys? So... I could see my family?"

So Sten was... someone who had to see his son passed away before him. Haku's ears and tail drooped in sadness. He can't help but to think about Bezil sometimes. His little brother had their father's gusto. Unlike Haku who chose his field in medic, he decided to pick up adventuring. If something happened to him in the same way... Haku would definitely be so devastated...
"I understand that feeling..." he gently patted the Were Garurumon's leg.
Sten's tears was infectious. Haku also can't help getting teary himself. The moment the offer to hug extended, the white Gaomon practically jumped at his grandpa's waiting arms, hugging his neck with a muffled sobs of happiness.
"M-my visits are done, Pappy... So if... if you want to go after the snow dies down, we can immediately go there..." Haku told him. It's at this time that he suddenly had the biggest idea. He pulled out his D-Nexus and took a picture with Sten. Who cares if they're currently crying like this? It's just showed how happy they are.
"W-while waiting, how about if I showed you the rest of the family?"
Haku opened his photo folder, showing him as Wannyamon on Owen's lap, while Hikaru looked fondly... his first meal with Logan, Hikaru and Owen when he evolved to his child stage... A trio photo with Bezil and Logan, the marriage... Picture of him together with Jill, together with Bu and Fuu, then with Perry... and then picture of him treating Matty and Jimmy after their prank backfired.
"...You're not alone anymore, Pappy," Haku told him between sobs. "We're all here, and we'll be together with you!"

Sten was delighted to hear that Haku's medical visits were completed. Of course he wouldn't have wanted to impose this on him if there were still sick or injured digimon out there. But hearing that he had completed his visits and was free to go straight back to Ys, that was delightful. The WereGarurumon patted Haku's back gently, holding the little child level as though he would have held Jaelin had they met again. Heavy feelings held back for a century were bursting from him. His family was not dead... it felt like his life suddenly had purpose again, after feeling over 100 years of emptiness. He didn't mind when Haku pulled out a device and took a picture of them together. Sten understood the importance of photographs and memories. Much of his time had been spent reading through his old photo album, pictures of his son as he grew up. And to his delight, Haku had something of an album to show him. The first was the little white Wanyamon with his parents. Sten couldn't hold back a sob of joy as he saw what his son looked like now. Owen looked just like Jaelin, but with the key difference in his eyes. When he had last seen him, Jaelin had the eyes of a soldier. Owen meanwhile looked like Jaelin did before he joined the military - bright and innocent. He wiped his eyes so his tears wouldn't soak the device. And Owen's husband - Sten's son in law. He was a very fine digimon indeed. Sten felt proud. The delight didn't end there. Sten saw his other grandchildren. He learned their names. Logan, Bezil, Jill, Bu, Fuu, Perry, Matty and Jimmy. "Nine grandchildren..." Sten said, his voice a whimper by this stage. "God... I've missed out on so much."He gave Haku another affectionate cuddle. By now, the snowstorm outside was beginning to calm down, but it wasn't safe to go out quite yet. So, there was little left to do than to bond some more. "Could you tell me more about your brothers and sisters, Haku?" Sten asked, eager to learn about them.

"Oh, sure, Pappy! Oh, I think you would be proud too knowing that Daddo has reached Ultimate stage lately! He's not a standard Mirage Gaogamon i think. I heard it was a bit lighter in armor, but all that matter is, he's really strong!" Haku chirped. Now, let's see... where should he start first?
He guess he should first turn into the image of an Offmon eating ice cream. "This one is Logan, Logy, we call him. He's generally our quiet, calm and composed elder brother. I'm the second, but I think many of my siblings prefer to talk to Logan whenever they're unsure of something or need that big brother wisdom. They said I'm too much of a goof, but I mean, they're right~ I'm a big goof, ehehe~
Logan however is super smart. He likes old buildings and apparently takes after our Pops' more scholarly side. He's a partnered Digimon... and I think is the only one partnered Digimon among us siblings? Well that's fine though."
Haku slides the photo over to show Tadao. "This is his human partner. Tadao is busy with colleges lately, so it gets a bit lonely without Logy around. But you know, Pops are partnered with a human too, so I often tagged along with him. Me and Logy often just chill together in human world."
Next he slides to Bezil and him making funny face at the camera. "Bezil is the third. I guess whenever our younger siblings felt sad they would come to me, but in case they need someone that wouldn't judge them for any mistake they did, or too scared to apologize alone, they would come to Bezil. I guess his image is this reliable big bro, ehehe~ I would say Logy's image is those of a smart, wise big brother, and I'm the cheerful one. Bez is a bit of a dramatic adventurer. He got the flair for flashy combats, but nowadays he kinda matured up quite a lot~ He kind of has left the nest, but we still hang around a lot! Before Fuu and Perry was born, Bez is kinda one that looked like Pops the most!
Oh right, I think Bez is honestly Daddo's favorite too. Probably because how close they are. With Logy and me, he rarely can spend time together, but with Bez, you know it. Daddo practically raised him from egg!"
The next picture showed a Strabimon with mask, sorting documents out while sending a wry, exasperated smile at the camera.
"This one is Jill. She's... I guess she's the most serious of us. I think being around us three dorks brother kind of make her want to assume the serious role, you know? Jill is the secretary of Ys, usually helping Pops with schedule, managing the city budget and all that. I think she would love to go on adventure, but sadly, until the city is repaired, she need to stay alert. She's pretty much the one the city contact when something happened after all... Wish I can help her somewhat, but she said there's always a perfect job for a perfect person."
Next, a picture of Bu drinking too much, Fuu looking so fed up with her antics, and Haku laughing his ass off at the sisters' antics.
"Bu and Fuu, these two are seriously fun to be with. Bu is short for Bujin. These two girls, they just the funniest pair ever! Fuu graduated from her class with valendictorian apparently, and Bu... well Bu is silly, not the sharpest pencil on the box, but she's fun to be around with! You just can't predict what she would say next. She apparently also got Pops' bartendering way. If only she could stop herself drinking on the job I think she would do great, heh heh.
I heard last time Bu already got girlfriend though... Let's just ask that to her later!"
Next is picture of Haku and Persephone hanging out on the base's hot spring, soaking their body with such content expression.
"Perry... mmm... how to say about Perry? Perry... got an incurable bug in her body. It caused her immune system to be so weak, and her body to ache. She can never left Ys for this reason. Even so, she's a fighter. She always worked whatever she could for the city... It made me keep motivated to work. 'If Perry can face tomorrow with a smile, why can't I?' I always told myself that. Oh, she's also a big family lover. She love to knits, grow herbs... herbs!"
Haku took out some from his medical bag. "This is some of Perry's blend, Pappy! It's good for cold so you should try it!"
The last two... Jimmy and Matty. It's a funny scene that apparently the brother's experiment blew up on two of them and Haku. They're covered in soots and their fur looked like some afro. Even then, three of them laughing merrily.
"Jimmy and Matty... let's see, they're the brats of the family, heh heh, but lovable ones for sure. One is an inventor, another is a musician. They always brings chaos to the house, but even then two of them are good boys! I think in their own way, they tried to find their calling. Their interests are great... but I wish Matty would be more careful at times. He's the more regular visitor of my clinic because experimental failure, heh... Mostly just for singed fur treatments, though!"
While they're talking, Haku forgotten to turn off his SOS signal... In midst of it all it's still calling out. Hikaru, already in panic, asked Yuuki to evolve him to Alphamon and flew toward the direction of the SOS. It's night, and his vision is obscured... he just hoped that his son would be fine...

Sten was delighted to hear that. "Yeah, that sounds about right. I heard that in his final battle for the DWR he reached Super Ultimate, but, it's still wonderful to hear that most of his old powers have returned."In truth, Sten was a little nervous about that fact. Reports from that battle was that Jaelin had pretty much become something of an angel of death that destroyed the enemy in the hundreds. He hoped that Owen would not go down that same path. Still, he was eager to learn more about his family, and those fears faded. Sten looked at his eldest grandson, Logan. He seemed to be a bookish and calm digimon, a little shy, but, Sten was glad to see that he carried a little of Owen's confidence in doing so. And hearing about him, being the one to turn to for advice, he felt instantly proud. And he was partner to a human as well. That intrigued Sten. The WereGarurumon hadn't met many humans before, only to tell them to go away. But there was something in Tadao's bright blue eyes that he trusted. Next was Bezil, and Sten could tell at once that this digimon was absolutely his grandson. Those yellow eyes, the same that he and Owen had. And that thirst for adventure, oh, Sten was brought back to his days as a Gabumon from the story and the picture. Still, Sten hoped not to stifle this with favouritism. "I'm sure Owen doesn't necessarily have a favourite and loves you all the same." he said. Next were Sten's grandaughters. Jill did seem rather serious, but, the WereGarurumon respected that. "It's wonderful to hear. I look forward to meeting her." He hoped that they could bond in a nice way sometime. Sten's next surprise was to hear that he had twin grandaughters next, Bu and Fuu, a Ryudamon and Dorumon. "Oh they are just adorable!" Sten exclaimed with delight. "Wait, Bu's got a girlfriend? Am... will I be a great grandfather soon on top of all this?"Sten then looked at the picture of the next grandaughter. Perry was sadly not as fortunate as her brothers and sisters in her constitution, but, he was glad to hear that she was being taken care of and seemed to be enjoying the life she had. In fact it only made him want to go to Ys even more, so he could help her out. Haku even had some of her herbs to show. Sten was filled with pride. "Perry sounds marvellous! I look forward to meeting her too."And the last two of the family were twin grandsons. An Onmon and Musimon. They seemed like right little troublemakers, but, Sten was proud to hear that they still had good hearts. "Heh, well, if they get out of hand, maybe a word from their grandpa might get them right?" he offered. After all, Sten had been something of a troublemaker himself, back in his days as a Gabumon.
Meanwhile, as this was going on, Haku's SOS signal was being broadcast all over the North as the snowstorm faded. Owen caught onto it at once when he detected it. He stopped what he was doing, made sure those under his care were safe and knew not to wander off, then warp digivolved all the way to MirageGaogamon and flew in Haku's direction, his red cape billowing behind him. He braved what was left of the storm, hoping soon to see his son, hopefully safe and alive. He couldn't bear to think of any other situation.

His flight midway was joined by Owen. "Sounds like you also saw the SOS. Sorry for being late," Hikaru apologized to his husband. "From the signal, Haku is stationery at the moment. I just hope he's not buried under snow or something worse..."
The Dorumon, now Alphamon, have a habit of overthink in panic. Generally, the calm Yuuki can counter this, but considering the situation, the human decided to stay in Ys in case any help is needed. Haste is the key. Soon, they arrived right on the door of the house. At first, Hikaru was wondering if his son is abducted or something.. but immediately, he shook such thought. He decided to sharpen his senses just in case... Knocking is out of the question at the moment.
Sten's reaction was absolutely priceless. Haku's tail wagged faster and faster as he saw his Grandfather's happy expression. "Oh I'm sure Daddo loves us equally too. But I feel there's no wrong in being closer to one of your child because you know... situation. All that's important is that he paid attention to all of us and our interests, that's all~"
Hearing this segment of the voice, Hikaru is now absolutely sure that the one inside is not a hostile one. He signed this to Owen in simple military sign of 'no danger'. He then knocked the door, hoping to catch the attention of the house owner.
Little did he know... he'd have one of the best day ever.
