My little sunshine

Chapter 27: Adoption

for context, the final episode of season one of Trollhunters won't be the same as my story's canon for several reasons with the most relevant one being that Bular is technically out of commission due to his injuries and because of his new goal trying to redeem himself so that he can live a life with his soon to be adopted son. Also, this chapter is just wholesome family bounding as a bit of a palate cleanser from the emotional drama... or is it

( one week later)

Bular was amazed as he stretched his sore muscles for the first time ever since he was brought to Trollmarket, He had to admit that old goat was a skilled healer. Despite being able to get out of bed and being able to walk around he's still in no condition to leave the heartstone or do anything straining on his body such as combat. Not that it bother Bular though, He was emotional drained after everything he went through in the past months long before he even found Borhart... for the first time in 900 years, Bular felt like he was finally healing after his father's and his tribe's banishment. Borhart let out a cute little yawn as he stirred awake.

" Did you have a nice nap my little warrior." Bular said as he walked over to the crib set up next to the nest that was being used as his 'cot' ever since he was brought to Vendel's workshop for his treatment.  Now that Bular was alone he felt more comfortable being more... soft espically around his son. A part of Bular still felt immense guilt for abandoning Borhart ever time he looked into his eyes... but despite this Borhart still loved him and saw him as his father. Bular looked around the room before he picked up his son and playfully nuzzled his son's face. 

" It still amazes me to see the son of Gunmar being affectionate and loving for a change" 

Bular halted his nuzzling of his son when he heard Vendel's voice from behind him and tried regain some semblance of his composure while Borhart happily giggled. Despite the embarrassment Bular still felt comfortable enough to openly play with Borhart as he listened to what Vendel had to say.

" Bular I'm aware that your still adjusting to your new surroundings. But I assure you that you have no need to be afraid for the time being. I'm just here to tell you the about the last step you need to take to finalize your adoption of Borhart... in light of your circumstances you'll have to stand trial by the Troll Tribunal to prove that you no longer pose a threat towards Troll kind and wish to change just like Aaarrrgghh."

Bular felt nervous at the mention of the Troll Tribunal... then he remembered something. Queen Usurna was a member of Troll Tribunal. As far as he was aware of Queen Usurna was still working as an ally for his father. Bular felt his throat becoming bone dry as he held Borhart protectively while Vendel brushed his behavior off as just nerves. Vendel kept explaining what Bular had to do to prepare for his trial while Bular absently listened as thoughts of what could happen if Queen Usurna found out what will happen If he was caught trying to defect from his father's army and as many what ifs that his paranoia filled mind can comprehend.
