Intro to our resident cat - queen and kitten

We have just (2weeks now ) become owners of ex breeding queen and kitten . The new Savannah Mum even since they are in quarantine area attacks our moggie on sight. Including jumping from ground to get at cat in my arms. Our moggie lived happily with a previous Bengal so unsure how best to take next steps. We are aware the Queen is protecting her baby however what should we do next ?

How old is the kitten?
Is mom still intact?
And how did you introduce them to the resident cat?

The kitten is 10 weeks, mum still intact - The Savannahs are in their own room but managed to come into lounge where our moggie was . I took moggie in my arms and our Queen jumped and attacked her swiping me in the process . I think we will need to wait till Mum is spayed and kitten older . Our domestic is submissive apart from hissing

Quarantine will probably take much longer than the normal 2 weeks considering that mom is intact and the kitten is small and she feels the need to defend it.

How is the bonding process with you coming along?

Bonding with everyone in family is good . Both Queen and kitten now sit on our laps and purr. Queen loves retrieving toys for us and follows me asking me to play . Planning to get her spayed in two weeks time . She is generally a lovely nature and breeder said she had never known her to fight with other cats .
