Chapter 9
Humphrey's POV
I woke up with the rising sun shining in my fur, and Kate curled up against me. I looked over and saw my mom and dad sleeping in the other corner, but I didn't see Jake anywhere. I slowly got up, trying not to disturb Kate. I walked outside and saw that it was a clear and cloudy day, it was a slightly colder morning then the précédant ones. I decided to go and try my luck at hunting again, even though I should have waited until Kate gave me some training, but I knew I could do it. I was so close last time, and I'm sure I'll succeed this time. I walked out into the open meadow and got down low, I peered through the tall herbe and I saw a lone caribou away from its heard. I stalked my way through the herbe trying to be a silent as possible. Crept closer and closer to the unsuspecting caribou, it was too busy eating the herbe to see me. I was right suivant to it and I waited for the perfect moment to strike. It turned its head away and I saw the perfect time to jump. I jumped toward its neck and bit down on its throat, I could taste its blood as I bit down harder and harder. The caribou jumped and kicked around trying to shake me off, but it was too late my jaws were locked down and it would soon be dead. After what seemed like forever the creature fell over and died. I let go of its neck and licked the blood of my lips, I sat down a caught my breath.
I realized that I succeeded in killing it "Kate is going to be so proud." I a dit under my breath.
"I'm not sure about Kate, but I sure am." A voice a dit behind me
I turned around and saw Jake standing behind me "Oh there toi are, where were toi last night?" I asked
"Oh well I spent the night with Sierra" He said
"Oh so I see things went well between toi two" I a dit with a smile
"Yeah! toi were right I just needed to loosen up a little" He said
"See I told you" I a dit "Can toi give some details on what happened last night?"
"Sure, but first let's get this caribou accueil and have some breakfast." He a dit picking up the dead carcass
"Okay" I a dit and followed him back to the tanière, den helping him drag the caribou.
When we arrived back at the tanière, den everyone was still asleep, we dropped the carcass par the entrance of the tanière, den and walked inside.
"Rise and shine everyone, and see what Humphrey brought us." Jake said
Everyone slowly got up and stretched. "What did he bring us?" My dad asked
"See for yourself" I a dit moving out of the way so he could see the caribou
"Wow, but Humphrey I thought toi didn't know how to hunt?" He said
"I don't, but I did learn a thing ou two from watching Kate hunt back in Jasper." I said
Kate got up and walked over to me. "I'm proud of you," She a dit nuzzling me "but don't toi ever do that again, toi could have gotten hurt ou even killed."
"I'm sorry, but I was bored and decided to give it another shot." I said
"Well if you're so impatient then I'll teach toi today if toi want." She said
"Of course I want to, but after me and Jake have a small talk." I said
"Why did something happen?" My mom asked Jake
"No, nothing important" He said
"Okay" She said
"Come on, let's eat!" I said
"Sure thing" My dad said
We all took a part of the caribou and ate our share. After we all ate Jake and I left the tanière, den and took a walk out in the meadow.
"So what did toi guys do last night?" I asked
"Well first we just walked around and got to know each other, and then we just chatted a little while after that. When it got late I told her I should be getting back to my den, but then she told me that I should spend the night with her. At first I was hesitant and I got nervous, she saw that I was scuffling my paws and she noticed it. She just giggled and a dit "It's okay, I know that toi like me and I like toi too." Then I smiled and a dit that I liked her and that I'd l’amour to stay the night. She then nuzzled me and we both went to her tanière, den and slept together." He a dit while we walked.
"Way to go" I a dit "It looks like toi found your mate"
"Maybe, we'll see" He said
"When are toi going to see her again?" I asked
"Well I was thinking of right now, while Kate teaches toi to hunt."
"Okay bye, have fun" I said
Jake walked back into the forest and I turned around and walked back to the den. 'I knew it would work out between the two of them' I thought to myself as I walked. It was now high noon and the sun was shining through the big puffy clouds that were scattered around the sky. When I got back to the tanière, den Kate was waiting for my par the entrance.
"Hey" I said
"Hey" She a dit back "Where's Jake?"
"Oh he went to visit Sierra while toi taught me how to hunt." I said
"Well let's go then" She a dit walking par me
"Okay" I a dit following her
She lead me back out into the meadow, she jumped up on a rock and told me to sit down.
"Okay so the first think to learn when it comes to hunting is balance." She a dit as she stood up on one of her front paws and balanced her weight on it.
"Now toi try to balance on your two front paws" She said
"Uhh… Okay" I said, I managed to get up on them but I fell back over, hitting the ground. "Ow"
"That's okay, keep trying" She said
I gave it another shot but fell back over "This is harder that I thought" I said
"Well nothing is easy when it comes to being an Alpha." She said
"I know that" I a dit trying to balance again, I managed to hold it for a few seconds, then I fell back over again.
"You're slowly getting the hang of it" She said
I gave it another shot, over the few hours we were there I managed to hold my balance longer and longer each time. When nightfall came I managed to hold my balance without falling at all.
"I got the hang of it Kate" I a dit looking at her while balancing on my front paws
"I've noticed, toi learn pretty fast compared to some of the other loups back at Alpha school." She a dit hopping down from the rock "Come on Humphrey its getting dark out and we should get back to the den"
"What's the rush darling" I a dit getting back on my paws "You know it's the full moon don't you?"
"I know, what exactly are toi getting at?" She asked
"Well Jake showed me where a great romantic place is" I a dit smiling
"Are toi saying toi want to go on a rendez-vous amoureux, date with me?" She asked smiling back
"Yes I am" I a dit s’embrasser her on the cheek
"Of course I will go on a rendez-vous amoureux, date with you" She a dit s’embrasser me back
"Okay follow me then" I a dit turning and walking toward the peak where Jake had told me was where they did their moonlight howls
Kate and I walked side par side as we climbed up the mountain. When we got to the haut, retour au début we found that there was no one there. The moon was already shining bright in the sky and it reflected off the small pond that was at the haut, retour au début of the peak. Kate was amazed par how beautiful it was way up here.
"Wow it's so beautiful up here" She said
"Yeah, it sure beats the one back in Jasper" I said
"I'll say" She Said
We walked over to the edge of the peak and sat suivant to each other on the flat rock surface. Kate leaded her head against mine, and we both sat and enjoyed each other's company.
"I l’amour toi Kate" I said
"I l’amour toi too Humphrey" She said
"You want to howl?" I asked
"Of course" She said
We both sat back and raised our heads toward the sky. For the rest of the time we spent up there, we just howled and cuddled together. After about a few hours he decided to call it a night and head back to the den. When we arrived back at the tanière, den it was close the midnight and everyone was already asleep. Jake wasn't there so I just suspected he was at Sierra's den. Kate and I walked over to the spot we slept at and both laid down suivant to each other. Kate snuggled up against me and we both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 10
Humphrey's POV
It's been a few days since Kate started teaching me how to hunt and I was slowly getting plus skilled at curtain things. My balance was perfect and I had mastered how to do summersaults in the air and land with ease. Right now I was working on a stealth skills and how to be as light as a feather.
Everyone in the family now knew that Jake had a new girlfriend and Sierra occasionally came over and had dîner with us while we all told stories. Jake was now always spending his free time with Sierra and I spent all mine working on my hunting skills. Kate had gotten bigger and was still growing, she had lots of mood swings too.
It was now mid-day and Kate and I were out in the meadow doing some training. Kate would walk way ahead of me and I would silently stalk her until I caught up and captured her. But she could always counter my attacks and I usually the one who got captured. I was right behind her silently following her through the tall grass, I stayed very low to the ground so she wouldn't see me. I stopped and ducked down lower when she turned around and tried to look for me. She smelled the air, looking for my scent, but I knew that it's always best to stalk downwind of the prey. She turned her head back around and continued walking through the tall grass. I got back up and followed, I got closer and closer to her and soon I was only a few feet from her tail. I realized that now my chance to jump. I jumped up high in the air, but as I jumped I stepped on a small twig, and snapped it. I was falling back down right toward Kate. She turned around to see what made the sound, but she was too late. I landed right on her pinning her to the ground.
"Ha-ha, I caught you" I a dit proudly
"Great job" She a dit "but can toi please get off me, you're hurting me"
"Oh I'm sorry" I a dit getting off her "Are toi alright?" I asked
"Yeah it's just that I've been feeling weird lately" She said
"I think it might be because of the pups?" I asked
"Oh toi think!" She yelled at me
I jumped back surprised at her yelling "Yes I do think it's because of the pups" I said
"Well it's your fault I'm like this!" She snapped
"Why are toi yelling?" I a dit "It wasn't my entire fault"
"Ugh I'm sorry Humphrey it's just these darn mood swings again." She said
"It's okay there's no way to control them" I said
"Yea, you're right it's not all your fault, it was our decision." She said
"I say we take a break today" I said
"Yeah I could use some rest" She said
We both walked back to the tanière, den where we found that Jake had left again and Mom and Dad were out with some of their friends. Kate and I had the tanière, den too ourselves, Kate laid down on the ground and I sat suivant to her.
"So have toi thought of any names?" I asked her
"Not really, they're not even born yet" She said
"Well it's always good to plan ahead toi know." I said
"True" She a dit "Do toi have any ideas for names?"
"Well I'm not too sure, but I really like the name Nova" I said
"Nova? That's an odd name, but I like it" She said
"Really? I think it's perfect if one of them is a boy" I said
"I agree" She said, but then she grunted and put her paw on her stomach.
"Are toi okay" I asked
"Yea I'm fine, that was a weird feeling" She said
"What did it feel like?" I asked
"Well it felt like something moved inside me" She said
"Maybe the pups are kicking" I a dit putting my paw on her stomach. Just then I felt something kick "Yep they are"
"Yea... Wow that feels weird" She said
"Well I'm not sure if we should continue teaching until after the pups are born and are a few weeks old." I said
"Are toi sure, I feel like I can still teach you." She said
"No toi should just take it easy from now on, and no plus hunting, Jake and I will do all the hunting." I said
"Well as long as your careful when toi hunt, then I will allow toi too" She a dit "It looks like I'll be resting from now on"
"Yeah, but it's only for a few plus weeks. It'll be over before toi know it" I said
"What about the tanière, den toi a dit toi were going to make for us to live in." She asked
"Oh, I forgot about that" I said
"Well toi now can work on it, since we're not going to be doing any plus training for now." She said
"I guess so" I said, thinking of how I would build us a new home. Just then my dad walked in
"Hi dad" I said
"Hello, what are toi two up too?" He asked
"Well Kate now has to just lay around and chill until the pups are born." I said, and then my mom walked inside and sat suivant to my dad.
"How much longer until she's due?" My mom asked
"I'm not sure" I said, and Kate nodded her head agreeing.
"Well when did toi first conceive?" She asked
"Well..." I counted the number of days in my head "It's been about 12 days ou so." I said
"Well then toi guys still have a mois ou so until Kate's due." She said
"What are we going to do when the pups are born? I don't think we have enough room in here." My dad said
"Well I was going to build another den, toi can help me if toi want." I said
"I think that's a great idea, it'll be good to spend some time with my first son." He said
"Good, we can start tomorrow. Let's just rest today." I a dit lying down suivant to Kate
"I couldn't agree more, plus I've been feeling a little tired today." My mom said, lying down.
My dad sat suivant to me and we chatted and told some funny jokes while the girls slept.
Meanwhile
Jake's POV
I was sitting in Sierra's tanière, den waiting for her to come back from her parents den. She had left earlier to get some nourriture for the two of us. Our relationship had been going really well, and I was no longer nervous about talking to girls. Life couldn't going any better for me, I really thought she was the one for me and I hope she thought the same way about me. I could hear the running of paws in the distance and I watched as Sierra walking to the tanière, den with two caribou legs in her jaws. She dropped the legs down in between us.
"Who's hungry?" She said
"I sure am!" I said
"Well dig in then" She a dit tossing one leg to me
"Thanks babe" I a dit smiling
I could see her blush under her fourrure "You're welcome" She a dit giggling
"So what do toi want to do for the rest of the day?" She asked
"Well let's see, we can go for a walk, ou maybe we can just stay here and relax." I said
"I'd like to just relax, but toi know what tonight is right?" She asked
"No, is it important" I said
She laughed "Of course it's important, silly" She said
"Hmmm..." I a dit trying to remember what today was "Is it your birthday?" I a dit guessing
"Nope far from it, come on toi know this one. What happened a week il y a from today?" She said
"Hmm..." Then it hit me "It's our one week anniversary!" I said
"That's right, and here toi gift" She a dit pulling me in and giving me a long kiss.
"Well toi won't get your present until tonight" I a dit with a sly smile, seeing if she knew what I meant.
"Oh I can wait" She a dit smiling back at me
"But first I want to know if toi want to go to the moonlight howl with me tonight?" I asked
"I've been waiting for toi to say that, of course I'll go with you, but can Kate and Humphrey come too." She said
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure they would want to go with us." I said
"Oh boy a double rendez-vous amoureux, date I can't wait" She said
"Come on let's go see if Kate and Humphrey are done with training." I a dit walking out her den
"Okay" She a dit following me
We walk over to my parents tanière, den and found my mom and Kate both asleep and my dad a brother were sitting and having a chat. We walked into the den.
"Hi toi two" Humphrey said
"Hi" We both said
"What are toi guys up too?" My dad asked
"Well we wanted to know if Kate and Humphrey wanted to go on the moonlight howl with us tonight." Sierra asked
"I'm sorry guys, but Kate need to rest, from now on." He said
"Why?" She asked
"Because she's at that stage of pregnancy, where she need to rest." My dad said
"Oh" She said
"Mom and I will come with toi guys, we haven't been to a moonlight howl for years." He said
"Okay" I said
"We should get going soon so we can get a good spot." He said
"Okay" I said
We all sat around and chatted while we waited until it was time to go. When the time to go came my dad woke up my mom and told her that they were coming to the moonlight howl with us. She was excited about it and we were all ready to go. We all a dit goodbye to Humphrey as we walked out of the den.
Chapter 11
Humphrey's POV
I stood outside my parents den, enjoying the view of the mountains and forest. It was now a little past sunset, the sky was slowly getting darker. The full moon was now shining bright in the sky, and the stars were lighting up one par one. Jake and the others had all left about an heure ago. I would have loved to go to the moonlight howl with Kate, but she needed her rest. Kate was curled up in a ball in the corner of the den, still sound asleep. I decided that I should wake her up; I walked over to her and nudged her with my snout, telling her to get up.
She opened her eyes "Hey sweetie" She said
"Hi" I said
She got up and "Were is everybody?" She asked looking around the room
"They all went to the moonlight howl." I said
"What? Why didn't we go?" She asked
"Well toi need to rest, plus toi were toi look so pretty while toi sleep and I didn't want to wake toi up." I said
"Aww, thanks" She said, nuzzling me
"So it looks like we got the tanière, den to ourselves tonight" I said
"Yeah, too bad I'm pregnant ou else we would fool around." She a dit with a sly smile
I smiled back "Yeah too bad" I a dit giving her a wink
"So what are we going to do tonight" She asked
"Well I was thinking we could have our own little private moonlight howl here, just the two of us." I said
"That sounds like a great idea" She said
"But first, how about some dinner" I said
"Sure I'm hungry, and so are the pups" She said
I walked outside and grabbed two caribou legs from a carcass that I had hunted earlier. I walked back into the tanière, den and saw that Kate was looking as poking at her belly.
"What's wrong?" I asked dropping the two legs on the ground.
"The pups are kicking again" She said
"I want to feel" I a dit putting my paw on her belly, I could feel them kicking "I can't wait to see what toi guys look like"
I saw Kate smile "I'm sure they will be beautiful" She said
"Just like us" I a dit licking her cheek
"Aww" She a dit licking me back
"Well let's eat" I a dit handing her a caribou leg
We both ate our dîner and talked about what our pups will look like.
"... I think one pup will be a mix of our fourrure couleurs and personality." Kate a dit finishing her meal
"Yeah and one will act like toi but look like me" I said
"Well I don't know about that" Kate said
"Well then I guess we'll have to wait and see" I said
"Yeah" I said
It was now completely dark outside and I could see that the forest was light up with the light from the full moon. I could her faint howls in the distance that were coming from the moonlight howl.
"I think now is a great time to do some howling, don't toi think?" I said
"I couldn't agree more, let's go" She said, slowly getting up and walking out of the den.
I followed her and sat down suivant to where she stood, I could see that she was admiring all of the pretty stars in the sky.
"Isn't it beautiful" She said
"Yeah but now as beautiful as toi in the moonlight" I a dit smiling at her
I could see her blush a little "Aww toi always say the cutest and sweetest things" She a dit nuzzling me
"Are toi ready?" I asked
"I was born ready" She said
We both sat down and raised our heads to the sky, letting out our howls. They blended perfectly as always into a beautiful medley. We sat there and howled for way seemed like forever. We both finished our howls and Kate rested her head against mine. We sat there cuddling under the light of the moon.
Later
It was now late in the night and Kate and I were still cuddling outside of the den, looking up and the night sky. Enjoying each others company as we could hear the howls in the distance die down, signaling that's the moonlight howl was now over. I heard Kate yaw suivant to me.
"Looks like somebody's tired" I said
"Yeah I am" She said
"Well then we should get to lit I'm tired too." I said
"A few plus minutes" She a dit sounding obviously sleepy.
"No come on" I a dit with a chuckle "If we stay like this any longer then we'll fall asleep like this."
She slowly got off me and got up walking to back into the den. I followed her in and we both laid down suivant to each other, She cuddled up against me.
"Goodnight Humphrey, I had a great time tonight."
"So did i hot stuff, goodnight" I a dit smiling
She giggled and nuzzled me "I l’amour toi so much" She said
"I l’amour toi too so much" I a dit nuzzling her back
We both closed our eyes and drifted into dreamland, I could feel Kate cuddle up against me and the night wore on.
Chapter 12
Kate's POV
It was a mostly restless night for me, the awkward feeling of the pups kicking made it uncomfortable for me to sleep. It was still late in the night, I had been up for an heure ou so now. I was cuddled up against Humphrey's side. I decided that I should wake him up and tell him I was having trouble sleeping. I got up and was about to wake him when I heard a voice behind me.
"Are toi okay Kate?" The voice said
I turned around and saw Lupa standing behind me. "Yeah I'm fine, just restless" I said
"You want to talk about it" She said
"Well I'm just not used to the feeling of the pups kicking, and it makes me too uncomfortable to sleep." I said
"I see, toi know I was the same way when I was pregnant" She said
"You were?" I said
"Yeah, I was quite restless and didn't get much sleep." She said
"Oh, how long did it take until toi were able to sleep again?" I asked
"Well it only lasted a few days, then after that I got used to the feeling and was able to sleep comfortably again." She said
"Good, I was hoping it wouldn't last the whole time I was pregnant." I a dit relived "Well I'm going to go and try and get some sleep before dawn approaches."
"Okay so will I, if toi have any plus problems of questions feel free to tell me, after all I am your mother in law." She said
"Thanks and I will" I said
I laid back down suivant to Humphrey who was sound asleep with a big grin on his face. 'Hmm I wonder what he's dreaming about,' I thought to myself 'It must have me in it.' I cuddled up closer to him and closed my eyes trying to fall back asleep. Luckily the pups weren't kicking and I easily fell asleep.
Later...
I managed to get few plus hours before waking up to the feeling of the pups kicking again. I opened my eyes and saw that it was not early morning. The sun had just risen but it was grey and cloudy outside. I laid there for what felt like days until I felt Humphrey stir in his sleep. I turned my head and saw that he had rolled over and was now facing me, his nose just and inch from mine. I decided to give him a little surprise. I press my nose against his and waited until he woke up. We stayed like that for several minutes and finally he began to stir even plus before finally opening his eyes. When he noticed that our noses were touching he let out a small chuckle.
"Well good morning sweetheart" He a dit licking my cheek
This made me blush "Good morning, just thought I'd give toi a little surprise this morning." I said
"Well I sure am surprised, I had the most wonderful dream last night and toi were in it." He said
"I could tell" I a dit giggling
He looked puzzled "How?" He asked
"Well I was up in the middle of the night in I noticed toi had a big grin on your face." I said
"Oh, wait toi were up in the middle of the night and toi didn't wake me up?" He asked
"Well I was going to, but your mom got up and we talk for a short while then I went back to bed." I said
"Why were toi up?" He asked
"The pups were kicking a lot last night and it was making me uncomfortable." I said
"Oh, well suivant time wake me up" He said
"So what was your little dream about?" I asked
"Well I won't say it aloud cause everyone else I here but I was whisper it to you" He said
He leaned over and whispered in my ear (A/N: Use your imagination), when I heard him tell me I giggled and then blushed, my tail wagged.
"You really dreamed about that?" I a dit whispering
"Well toi sure are hot, so why wouldn't I" He a dit smiling and giving me a wink
"Aww, you're so sweet" I a dit nuzzling him
He stretched and let out a yawn "Well todays going to be great" He said
"Why?" I asked
"Well I'm going to start building our den" He said
"Oh that's great, isn't your dad going to help you" I said
"Yeah, and so will Jake if he's not busy with Sierra" He said
"I doubt that, he isn't even here" I a dit noticing that Jake wasn't in the den
He noticed too "You're right" He said
"What am I going to do all day, just sit here all day" I a dit not happy about the idea
"Well I'm sure toi and my mom can chat all jour and watch me and my dad build the new den." He said
"Okay" I said,
Then I remembered that we had forgotten to tell everyone back in Jasper that we had decided to live here in Montana. I'm sure my mom and dad are worried sick about me and Humphrey.
"Oh gosh I just remembered that we never told everyone back in Jasper that we decided to stay here." I said
"Well we can't go now you're too far into your pregnancy and I won't go alone." He said
"What about Jake, can't he go and tell them?" I asked
"I doubt it, I'm sure Sierra won't let him go." He said
"True..." I said, I thought for a seconde then I got an idea "What about Marcel and Paddy?" I asked
"That's a good idea, but sadly we have no idea where they are." He said
"Well I guess all we can do I wait until they montrer up, ou if one of the loups from Jasper finds us." I said
"Yeah I guess so" He said
We sat there and chatted on about stuff until everyone woke up. after about an heure ou so Humphrey's dad woke up and walked over to us.
"Good morning" He said
"Good morning" Humphrey and I a dit in unison
"So how are toi two?" He asked
"Were great" I said
"Good to hear" He said
"So dad, are toi ready to work on the new tanière, den today?" Humphrey asked
"Sure am, but how about some breakfast I'm starving"
"Same here," I a dit "and so are the pups"
"Well let's wait for mother to wake up" He said
Just as he a dit that Lupa woke up and stretched "Good morning" She said
"Good morning" We all said
"Let me guess Jake is still at Sierras?" She asked
"Yep" Humphrey said
"Well we were waiting for toi to get up so we could have some breakfast and now your up so lets eat." Lyall said,
He walked over to a freshly killed caribou, and dragged it into the den. We all took one leg off and spit the head and neck into four equal parts. We all dug in and ate our share, as soon as we finished we all licked the blood out of our fur.
"That's was on good caribou" Lyall said
"I'll say" Humphrey's said
"So are toi ready to go build that den?" He asked Humphrey
"Sure am, let's go" He said
He got up and following his dad out of the tanière, den and into the grey cloudy morning, leaving the tanière, den to me and Lupa.
"So did toi get anymore rest last night?" She asked me
"Yeah I managed to get a few hours in" I said
"That's good" She said
We sat there a chatted while Humphrey and his dad worked on the new den.
Humphrey's POV
My dad and I walked over to the old arbre stump that was half hollowed out underneath. I could tell that we would need to do a lot of digging under the stump so that there was enough room underneath to support a new family.
"So how do toi want to make it?" I asked
"Well toi could dig out under the arbre stump and then we could put herbe and arbre bark on haut, retour au début to keep out the elements." He said
"That's what I was thinking of doing" I said
"Let's dig" My dad a dit and the dug his claws into the ground.
"Wait I got an idea, wait here" I a dit walking over to an old dead arbre the was nearby. I ripped off two small curved prices of bark and handed on to my father. "You can use this to dig out dirt faster"
"Good idea" He a dit and he gridded the bark into the ground digging out big chunks of dirt.
I moved over suivant to him and started digging out the other side of the so to be den. We spent a few hours ou so digging out the entrance that dropped down under the stump. Kate would come par every now and then to see how it was turning out. After we dug out the entrance started digging out under the arbre stump. We did this for only an heure ou so because the sun was starting to set. Dad and I decided to call it a jour and go wash off for dinner. We walked over to the pond and dipped our bodies in shaking off the dirt. We then proceeded back to the tanière, den where we found Kate and my mom sitting and chatting on about girl stuff. I was that there was a new caribou carcass on the ground of the den.
"Who caught this?" I asked looking at them
"Oh, I did" My mom said
"Wow I thought toi never hunted" I said
"Well I did when it was just me and toi father here but when all toi arrived I stopped." She said
"How is the tanière, den looking so far?" Kate asked
"It's coming along great, were about a third of the way done digging out the bottom." I a dit " It should be done in the suivant week ou so"
"Okay good" She said
"Enough chatter I'm hungry" My dad a dit taking a leg off the carcass
"Same here" I a dit taking off the other front leg
We both sat down with the girls and eat our dinner.
"Aren't toi girls hungry?" My dad asked
"No were fine"
"Okay then" He said
"Jake sure is busy today" I said
"Yeah doing nothing with his girlfriend" Kate a dit laughing, making us all laugh too
"Well I think it's great that he's finally found someone" My mom a dit "I thought he'd never get one cause of his shyness."
"Well thanks to me he's now over that" I said
After was all ate dîner we sat and talked for a while until I was barely keep my eyes open. I told everyone goodnight and walked over to the corner of the tanière, den and laid down. Kate soon joined me along with my parents who slept on the other side of the den. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with Kate's warm body press up against me.
Chapter 13
Humphrey's POV
Another few days have gone par and the new tanière, den was nearing completion thanks to my dad's help. All we had left to do was joint, joint d’étanchéité to roof up to protect it from the elements.
"Go get some plus herbe bro" I a dit to Jake who decided to help me instead of spent the jour with Sierra.
"Okay" He a dit getting up and walking out into the meadow.
I was weaving and stuffing the herbe onto the den. "Were almost done" I a dit to my dad who was on the other side doing the same thing as me.
"I'll say maybe toi can sleep in it tonight if we hurry." He said
"Well we only have about 3 hours until sunset and heure ou so of twilight after that." I said
"Here" Jake a dit as he walked over to me with a mouth full of grass
"Thanks" I a dit taking the herbe from him
He sat suivant to me and spread the herbe over the haut, retour au début of the den. My dad got up and went back to the tanière, den saying he wanted to check on the girls, leaving Jake and I working on the den.
"So how are things going with toi and Sierra?" I asked
"It's going great so far" He a dit "I really think she's the one for me"
"Good, toi two make a great couple" I said
"Thanks" He said
"Have you... toi know" I a dit raising an eyebrow
"What do toi mean... Oh no not yet" He a dit "Were just taking it slow"
"Well that's great" I a dit "It's always good not to rush into it too fast." I said
"But I must ask since no one is here, what's it like?" He asked
"Oh... Well it's a unforgettable experience" I said
"I'm sure it is" He a dit "Anyway how are things with Kate going?"
"Things are great so far, toi can tell that the pups are growing because now she has gotten much bigger." I said
"Well I noticed that" He a dit "So are toi excited to be a father?"
"To be honest I am a bit nervous, but I can't wait to be a father." I said
We sat and kept of talking while spreading and weaving the herbe over the den. But then I could hear the sound of two voices arguing over something overhead. I looked up and too my surprise I was Marcel and Paddy flying above me.
"Marcel!" I yelled up to them
I saw them stop arguing and the looked down and saw me "Ah hello there Mr. Wolf" I heard him say. They colombe down and landed suivant to Jake and I
"Who are these two?" Jake asked
"These guys helped Kate and I back accueil from Idaho." I told him
"Oh darn, I was looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to eating them." Jake said
"So how are things Mr. Wolf" Marcel said
"Please call me Humphrey" I a dit "And things are great Kate and I have decided to live here with my parents."
"That's sounds great" Paddy said
"And where's Kate?" Marcel asked
"She's back in the tanière, den along with my family. Oh and I forgot" I walked over to Jake "Jake this is Marcel and Paddy." "Marcel Paddy this is my brother Jake" I said
"Well toi two do look a lot alike" Paddy said
"Come on follow me and I'll introduce toi to the rest of the family." I a dit walking toward the tanière, den as they followed.
"I'll stay here and work on the tanière, den if toi don't mind" Jake said
"Ok go ahead" I called over my shoulder
We walked into the tanière, den "Hey Kate look who I found" I a dit walking in
"Who did toi find?..." Kate a dit turning around and seeing Marcel and Paddy standing suivant to me. "Marcel! Paddy!" She yelled giving them both a hug
"Nice to see toi again" Marcel said
"Yeah and it looks like the little loups had grown quite a bit" Paddy a dit seeing Kate's large belly
"Who's this?" My mom asked
"Mom dad this is Marcel and Paddy, they helped me and Kate get back to Jasper when we were taken to Idaho" I a dit "Marcel Paddy these are my parents"
"Nice to meet you" Marcel a dit along with Paddy
"Same here" My dad said
"So we need toi two to do us a favor" I said
"Of course anything for toi two lovebirds" Marcel said
"Great, can toi guys fly back to Jasper and tell Kate's parents that we decided to stay and live here in Montana. Also montrer them the way to get here." I told them
"You got it, come on Paddy the sooner we get this done the sooner we can get back to some golf." He a dit taking off out of the tanière, den followed par Paddy.
"Bye guys!" Kate yelled as they flew off
I could hear them resume their argument from earlier "I wonder what there arguing about now." I said
"I bet it's about their little game they played called golf" Kate a dit letting out a small laugh
I laughed "I bet you're right" I said
"So how's the tanière, den coming along?" Kate asked
"It's just about done, I think we can sleep in it tonight."
"Oh good" Kate a dit "Let's go finish it then I'll come and help."
"Well... ok let's go" I said
Kate and I walked out of the den, the sun was just about to set into the mountains in the distance. We only had just over an heure to finish and I was sure we could finish it. I could still see Jake covering the tanière, den with grass. We walked over to the new tanière, den and Kate walked inside to see how it looked.
"Wow it's pretty big in here" She a dit "Lots of room for us and our pups."
"It's not much but it works" I said
"Well I think it perfect for us and our new family" She said
"Alright will toi two amoureux come over here and help me cover this last part of the den." Jake said
"Coming" I a dit walking over and helping Jake finish the roof.
Kate walked back inside the tanière, den and cleaned out some of the rocks that were in there. About twenty minutes later the tanière, den was finally complete and just in time because the sun had just set.
"It's done" I said
"Finally" Jake a dit "Now I can go spend some time with Sierra" He a dit getting up and walking away
"Well I sure am tired. I don't know about toi but I'm going to he'd early tonight." I a dit to Kate walking to our den
"I'll rejoindre toi in kind of tired too" She said
We both laid down and chatted and cuddled until we both feel asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 14
Humphrey's POV
Another week has gone par and things were going great, Kate was almost at her due rendez-vous amoureux, date and I have been improving my hunting skills. Marcel and Paddy had returned from their trip to Jasper and back. They a dit that Kate's parents weren't happy with the idea but as long as Kate was happy they were happy. They also a dit that Kate's parents wanted to come par and visit in two week's time just after the pups were born. Jake and Sierra were now engaged and the wedding would be in two week's time, I was happy for my brother for overcoming his shyness of girls. My parents have been looking after Kate while I was out on my hunts. She was always talking to my mom about how to parent and they went through a few labor exercises to prepare her for the pain of child birth.
It was a dark a gloomy day, there were dark grey clouds in the sky and it had been foggy all morning. I was out on a hunt on my own, approaching the meadow that seemed to disappear into grey infinity. I stayed low to the ground and made my way through the tall grass. I crept through the meadow looking out into the fog looking for the dark outline of a caribou. Eventually I found a small herd of caribou emerging out of the fog. I stayed down low as I walked around the heard so that I was down wind of them. I could see four caribou eating the moist grass. There were two males and two females, I decided to play it sûr, sans danger and go for one of the females. Creeping up behind her I waited for the right moment to strike. I waited and waited until the sound of a howling loup in the far distance made the herd look away from where I was. I took advantage of the moment and jumped at the caribou. I bit my jaws down on its neck suffocating it to death. It's started to fall over but before we both hit the ground I jumped off and managed to land on the back of the other female. It kicked its back legs up trying to throw me off but I dug my claws into its back. I made my way to its neck and bit down hard, ripping out its neck causing it to die before hitting the ground. We both hit the ground and I looked to see the two males fleeing from the scene. 'Damn' I thought to myself 'that was a very successful double kill.' I sat down catching my breath for a minute then letting out a howl for someone to come help me. As if on cue Jake along with Sierra emerged from the fog.
"I see toi need some help there bro" Jake said
"You think" I joked
"Wow a double kill, great job Humphrey" Sierra said
"Well we don't need two caribou so why don't toi two take that smaller on and I'll take the bigger one back to Kate and our parents." I said
"Really, thanks bro" Jake a dit picking up the caribou with his jaws and started drag it back to his den.
We all a dit goodbye and I picked up the caribou in my jaws and dragged it back to the den. Jake and Sierra disappeared into the fog as we got farther apart. I was surprised at how much the caribou weighed for its size 'Wow this is a fat one' I thought to myself. After dragging the caribou for what felt like hours I made it back to the den. I set the dead caribou on the ground just outside my parents den. I walked into the tanière, den and saw my mom and Kate sitting and talking.
"I'm back" I a dit walking in
"How did the hunt go?" My mom asked
"It was very successful, I got my first double kill." I a dit proud of myself
"Wow and what happened to the other caribou?" She asked looking and seeing only one caribou on the ground outside.
"I gave it too Jake and Sierra" I said
"Ok" She said
"Great job Humphrey" Kate a dit to me "You're getting better at hunting"
"Yeah, not bad for and Omega" I said
"You mean Alpha" Kate corrected me
"Why Alpha?" I asked
"Because now that toi know how to hunt that makes toi part Alpha." She said
"So I'm a Beta then?" I said
"Pretty much" She said, and then she looked outside "Wow it's still foggy out there"
"Yeah it makes everything around us looks surreal" I said
"True, so let's eat" She said
"I thought you'd never ask" I a dit walking out of the tanière, den and grabbing the caribou.
I dragged it into the tanière, den and placed it in the center of the den. Kate, my mom and I all took a leg and saved the rest for later.
"So where's dad at?" I asked
"I think he a dit he was going to see some Friends of his." My mom said
"Well we better save a leg for him when he gets back" I a dit "How are toi feeling Kate?"
"I've felt better but I'm good" She said
"Good" I said
"So didn't those Friends of yours say that Kate parents were coming in two weeks?" My mom asked
"Oh toi mean Marcel and Paddy, yeah they did" I a dit "Hopefully Eve isn't made at me"
"Why would she be?" She asked
"Let's just say she's really protective over me" Kate a dit "Don't worry honey I'm sure that she just wants to see the pups."
"I hope so, but if she is made I'm booking it out of here" I a dit laughing
Kate laughed "Yeah but I'm sure she would hunt toi down"
"Why would he need to run off she was mad, couldn't they just talk it out." My mom said
"Yeah but I would be dead before I would even get a word in" I a dit still laughing
"Oh I see" My mom a dit "She sounds like she's really protective"
"She sure is" Kate said
"How about Kate's father, what's he like" She asked
"Well he is the pack leader and he's mellow and a really nice guy." Kate said
"Yes and a really great father in law" I added in
"Okay, well I can't wait to meet them" She said
Suddenly a dark furred loup with blue eyes appeared around the corner of the tanière, den entrance.
"Hi Polaris" My mom said
"Hi" He a dit "Umm... Can toi come with me for a minute Lupa"
"Sure, wait here guys I'll be back" She a dit to us
"Okay" Kate and I said
About a minute ou so passed and my mom reappeared around the corner, sadness in her eyes.
"Bring him in guys" She said
Polaris and another loup appeared around the corner. They walked onto the tanière, den and I noticed another loup on their backs that had cuts and bruises all over his back and sides. They placed the injured loup and the ground and I noticed that it was my father.
My jaw dropped "What happened?" I asked
"I'm sorry toi guys we were walking up in the mountains and the fog was very thick we could only see only a few feet ahead of us. Unfortunately Lyall didn't see that there was a cliff in front of him and he walked over the edge and fell. We ran down the side of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff and we found him like this." Polaris said
"You mean he's dead!" I a dit not believing it
"No he can't be dead he's still breathing, the impact from the fall was enough to knock him out cold." He a dit "He should wake up within the suivant two days ou so."
"Thanks for bringing him here" My mom a dit to Polaris "You can go now"
"Will do" He a dit walking out of the tanière, den along with the other wolf.
"Oh my god" My mom a dit almost on the verge of tears "why did this happen"
I walked over and rested my paw on her back "It's okay mom" I a dit comforting her "It was just and accident, he still alive"
"But look at him Humphrey" She a dit to me "It'll take weeks for those scars to heal, and it might take longer if he has any broken bones."
"True, but all we can do now is wait for him to wake back up." Kate said
"Well I'll wait right here until he wakes up" My mom a dit laying down suivant to my dad
"Okay" I a dit "come on Kate let's go back to our tanière, den a rest."
"Okay" Kate said
Kate and I walked out of the tanière, den and headed to our tanière, den which wasn't to far away. We walked inside and laid down suivant to each other. I could tell that it was now early evening and the sun would set soon. Kate was soon fast asleep suivant to me, I could tell that she was tired par her eyes back at my parents tanière, den earlier. That's why we came back here to our tanière, den so she could get to sleep, and also to give my mom some privacy after what just happened. I was glad that my dad was okay and that he survived the fall, but once he wakes up he'll have to deal with all the pain from his scars and broken bones. If he has any. I laid there awake for a few hours thinking about Kate and I and our new family. The pups were dues to be born between the suivant week to two weeks according to my mom, and I was ready to take the responsibility of being a father to my pups. And I'm sure that Kate is the same way. I fell asleep after another few minutes and fell into my dreams.
Chapter 15
Humphrey's POV
It's been two days and my dad had just woken up after being knocked out. He a dit he was in pain and that he didn't remember anything that happened on the jour he fell of the cliff. It was a clear and sunny afternoon and Kate and I were relaxing in my parents tanière, den keeping my dad company. He had also broken his one of his legs, so he couldn't walk too well. I would have to walk par his side while he leaned on me just so he could get up and déplacer around. Jake would come par every now and then to check in on how dad was doing. Jake now lives with his soon to be wife and spends most of the jour with her. My mom was out getting some herbe to make a makeshift lit for my dad, and also for Kate when she has her pups. Kate's due rendez-vous amoureux, date was getting closer and closer, she now spent that nights sleeping in my parents tanière, den just in case the pups decide to be born prematurely. I would spend most of the jour running around hunting caribou and gathering water for Kate and my dad who mostly stayed in the tanière, den all day. I also have been making our tanière, den nice and clean for the pups. Kate and I were talking to each other while my dad took a nap. My mom walked into the tanière, den with a mouth full of fresh herbe from the nearby meadow.
"Alright just one plus trip back to the meadow and we'll have enough grass." She a dit putting the herbe on the ground with the two other piles. She turned around and walked back out of the den.
"Okay" I a dit as she walked out
Kate and I continued our conversation while we waited for her to return. We didn't have to wait long because ten minutes later she walked back into the tanière, den with another mouthful of herbe in his jaws. She placed it on the ground par the other herbe piles.
"So how is he?" She asked
"He still says he's in pain but he's doing better than when he first woke up." I said
"Well that's good" She a dit "Kate come help me make Lyall a lit for him to lie on."
"Okay" She said
She walked over to the pile of herbe and helped her make them into a pad for my dad to lie on. I stayed par me dad's side while he slept and waited for them to finish with the bed. After a few minutes of waiting the had finished with the bed. My mom then dragged my sleeping dad onto the lit and laid him back down.
"He sure is a heavy sleeper" I said
"Oh toi won't believe the things he sleep through" My mom a dit "Not even a close strike of lighting will wake this man up."
"Wow really" I a dit laughing, Kate laughed too
"Well no wonder Humphrey's a heavy sleeper" Kate said
"What I'm a heavy sleeper?" I a dit surprised
"Yes you've slept through a lot of things" She said
"Oh yeah like what?" I asked
"Well pretty much every thunderstorm that has rolled through Jasper, you've slept through every single Kiss I've donné to toi on your sleep, and one time there were two loups arguing very loudly just outside of your old den." She said
I was surprised "Wow I've slept through all those things" I said
"Sure did" She said
"And Humphrey was a heavy sleeper when he was a pup" My mom added in
"Ahh... I remember the good times of puppyhood" I a dit recalling memories
"So do I" Kate said
"What was your favori part?" I asked
"Well my favori part was when I met a cute little grey wolf; I quickly fell in l’amour with him." She said
I was confused "Cute little grey wolf?" I asked
"Yeah don't toi know who I'm talking about" She said
"Nope" I a dit shaking my head
"Well toi know him very well" She said, little did I know that Kate realized I was confused and decided to mess with me, before telling me she was talking about me.
"Hmm... is it Hutch" I guessed
"Nope" She said
"I know it's Salty... Oh wait he's and Omega that wouldn't work"
She laughed "No not even close" She said
"Then I give up" I said
"Come on sweetie who's the person toi know the most?" She said
"That would be toi but you're not grey furred" I said
"Well toi know someone else plus then toi know me" She said
"Is this some kind of trick question?" I said
"Really toi don't know?" She asked
"Nope I don't sorry" I said, par this time Kate and my mom were dying laughing "Why are toi guys laughing?"
"Because of how thick headed toi are" Kate said
"Well I don't know who you're talking about" I said
"So toi don't know a loup that is bluish grey furred with a white underbelly and has ice blue eyes." She said
It finally hit me "Oh you're talking about me" I said
"Yea toi think who's the only loup that I could ever love?" She a dit laughing
I wagged my tail "That would be me" I said
My dad woke up and looked at us sitting on the other side of the den. "Why are toi guys laughing?" He asked
"Oh nothing I'm just messing with Humphrey" Kate said
"Oh well have fun then, I'm going back to sleep and keep the volume down please." He a dit rolling over and facing away from us
"Ok" I said
"So what was your favori part of puppyhood Humphrey?" My mom asked
"Well it was when I met this beautiful loup right here" I a dit s’embrasser Kate on the cheek
"Aww... You're so sweet" Kate said
"Aren't I always" I a dit smiling
"Yes toi are" Kate a dit smiling back
It was now dark outside and it was getting late, I was tired and decided to call it a night.
"Alright I'm tired and going to bed" I a dit turning around starting to walk out of the den.
"Wait Humphrey shouldn't toi stay here just in case Kate goes into labor." My mom said
"Yeah" Kate said
I turned around "But she isn't due for another week ou so" I said
"True but most loups sometimes give birth early that expected." My mom said
"Well I'm sure Kate will be fine for just one plus night, won't toi darling." I said
"Well okay but one plus night" Kate said
"Then after that you're sleeping in here until your pups are born" My mom said
"Okay" I a dit giving Kate a quick Kiss and then turning around and walking out of the den. "Goodnight" I called over my shoulder as I walked out of the tanière, den and into the darkness
The moon wasn't out and it was complete midnight I could barely see in front of me. I made it to my tanière, den and walked inside; I laid down on the flat ground and went Lost in my thoughts. I wanted to spend a night alone so I could just think to myself about be becoming a soon father and I was also thinking of what Kate's and my pups would look like. I spent a good heure ou so thinking and then closed my eye and fell asleep into dreamland.
Later
I was woken up par the sound of yelling I could barely hear the person's voice but I could make out the words "Humphrey! Humphrey! Come quick!" The voice yelled, I could tell whoever it was they were getting closer. I recognized that it was my mom's voice yelling, I knew exactly what was going on.
Chapter 16
Humphrey's POV
I got up on my feet just as my mom came flying into my den.
She stopped running and tried to catch her breath "Kate... Pups... Now" She a dit in between breaths
"Well their early" I joked "Come on let's not leave her alone over there too long."
"Hold on just one minute, she'll be fine your dad is par her side right now. And she only having contractions she's not in labor yet." She a dit breathing heavily
"Okay" I a dit waiting for her to catch her breath. After a few minutes I asked "Are toi ready yet?" I a dit a little anxious to get to the birth of my pups.
"Yea let's go" She a dit getting up off the floor
I walked out of the tanière, den but then it turned into a run as I raced to my parents den, my mom close behind. "Wow toi sure are fast for your age mom" I a dit to her
"Well I only get to see the birth of my first grandchildren once so I want to make sure I don't miss it." She said
We kept running through the dark forest, the moon was still not out yet. I could see the tanière, den just up ahead of my 'Almost there, it's the accueil stretch' I thought to myself. I ran up to the front of the tanière, den and quickly slowed down so I didn't come crashing into the cave. I walked into the down with my mom close behind me; I saw Kate and my dad in the back of the cave. Kate and my dad turned their heads around and saw me and my mom walking in.
"I told toi that toi should have stayed here tonight" Kate a dit sounding somewhat annoyed
"I know toi were right, I'm sorry, but I'm here now and I'll be par your side." I a dit "So how do toi feel?"
"How do I feel? How do toi think I feel?" She snapped
I just ignored what she a dit because I knew that it was just because of her mood swings. "Okay okay" I a dit "I know it was a stupid question" I laughed a little
"Oh toi think!" She a dit "I'm sorry Humphrey it's because of all of these darn mood swings and that pain I'm about to undergo."
"its okay" I a dit holding her paw
"I think ones start to move" She said
My mom walked over to us and got ready to deliver our pups "Alright Kate just as we practiced, push and breath" She said
"Okay" Kate said, I could see some sweat on her face
I placed my paw on the ground and placed Kate's paw on haut, retour au début of my paw "Here" I a dit "You can push as hard as toi want on my paw so that it helps with the pain." I said
"Thank you" She a dit before grunting a little from the pain
"Alright keep pushing" My mom said
Kate pushed and let out a small scream of pain.
"Alright I can just see the first one coming out now" My mom said
"Keep going" I said
Kate pushed again and screamed in pain again that echoed out of the den.
"The head has popped out, just on plus push and it will be out." My mom said
Kate pushed one plus time screaming again
"Alright it's out, here Lyall" She a dit handing my first pup to my dad "One down"
"You're doing great" I told Kate comforting her
Kate pushed as the suivant pup was now coming out.
"Here comes the suivant one" My mom said
Just then Jake and Sierra came running into the tanière, den "We heard screaming is everything okay?" Jake asked he then looked at Kate and I "Oh it's time"
"Yea I did, our dad has our first born pup" I said
Sierra went over to help my mom with the delivery and Jake went to see my first born pup.
"Keep pushing, it's halfway out" My mom said
Kate pushed grunting from the pain
"Good job the seconde one is out" She a dit handing the pup over for Sierra to hold.
Sierra walked over and sat suivant to my dad and Jake
"Alright I think there should only be one more" My mom said
"Alright sweetie toi can do it, just one more" I said
Kate pushed screaming an pressing her paw hard against mine 'Wow that must be really painful for her' I thought to myself surprised par at how much force she was pressing down on my paw.
"There's the head" My mom said
Kate pushed again letting out another scream of pain
"There toi go just one plus push" My mom said
She pushed again but this time not screaming as loud
"Alright that all of them, congratulations Kate toi have donné birth to three health pups." My mom a dit as she held our third born pup
Kate was smiling but still trying to catch her breath "What are the genders?" She asked
"Well the first ones a boy" My dad a dit handing me the pup to hold.
The pup looked almost identical to me only he had a few streaks of tan fourrure along his sides.
"How about the seconde one" I asked
"It's a girl" Sierra a dit handing me my seconde born pup
I put my first son down suivant to Kate's belly so that he could drink her milk. I then picked up my first daughter from Sierra; she looked even plus like me then my first son. She had the same bluish grey fourrure as me and the same white underbelly.
"She looks just like toi Humphrey" My dad said
"I know it's like a mini me" I said, I place my daughter suivant to my first son so she could drink some lait too.
"And your third pup is a boy" My mom a dit handing me the pup.
His fourrure was a golden tan just like Kate's "Look darling he looks just like you" I a dit to Kate montrer her the pups. I put the pup down with the others.
"She does" Kate said
"So what are toi going to name them?" My mom said
"Well I think Polaris is a good name for the first boy pup, what do toi think Kate?" I said
"I think Polaris is perfect" She a dit "How about for the only daughter?"
"Humphrey Jr!" I joked
"No I told toi there can't be a Humphrey Jr. Just one Humphrey is enough" She a dit laughing "I like the name River"
"That's a great name" I said
"Okay so River is our only daughter" She said
"How about for our seconde son?" I asked
"Hmm..." She said
"How about Blaze?" My dad said
"That's perfect because of his fourrure color" I said
"Ok Blaze it is" Kate said
"Ok so Polaris and Blaze are our two sons and River is our only daughter" I said
"I think those are great names" My mom said
"Yeah, congrats toi two" Jake said
Well I don't know about toi but I'm still tired, goodnight" My dad said
Same here were heading back accueil come on honey." Jake a dit walking out of the tanière, den with Sierra right behind him
"Goodnight everyone" I a dit I turned and saw that Kate was already asleep
"Goodnight" My mom said
We all laid down in our usual spots. I laid par Kate so that the pups were in between us, I was Lost in my thoughts. 'Here we are, you're a father Humphrey' I thought to myself 'Kate was right that nightmare I had over a mois il y a was exactly that, it was only a nightmare nothing more.' And on that thought I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
I woke up to the rising sun shining in my eyes; I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my vision. I could see that the sun was just rising over the mountains. I looked suivant to me and saw Kate still sound asleep, as were the pups. They were all huddled in between Kate and I. I saw something déplacer in the corner of my eye; I turned and saw that my dad was awake and trying to get up on his legs.
"Good morning dad" I said
"Good morning son" He a dit he managed to get up on his paws and half walked and half limped over to me. "How did toi sleep?"
"Great actually" I said
"Good as did I" He said, he then looked over at my pups "Well welcome to fatherhood"
"Yeah, funny I don't fell any different" I a dit chuckling
"Oh just toi wait until they open their eyes and start to explore their new world." He a dit "Pups can be a handful at times"
"Well I'm ready for whatever challenge they throw at me" I said
"Good" He said
"So I see that toi can walk again, sort of" I a dit changing the subject
"Well my broken leg still hurts but not as much as before" He said
"Good" I a dit "You're lucky toi survived that fall"
"Yeah I sure am" He a dit "As I was falling I thought my life was over and I would never get to see my grandchildren."
"But toi did live and toi got to see the birth of your grandchildren" I said
"Yeah and they sure are beautiful aren't they?" He said
"Yeah I think all the good looks came from Kate" I said
"Maybe your right" He a dit looking at the pups
"But what I'm really excited to see is what their personalities will be like." I said
"Yeah I've never seen an Alpha mixed with and Omega personality before, this should prove interesting." He said
"I'm sure they'll be playful like me, and they'll have great hunting and leadership skills like Kate." I said
"I've also that one pup looks just like toi another one looks just like Kate and the other one look like a mix between toi and Kate." He said
"Yeah I noticed that too" I said
"Well congrats Humphrey I'm proud of you" He said
"Thanks dad" I said
"Now if toi don't mind I'm going out for a short walk" He a dit getting up on his paws and making his way out of the den.
"Okay see toi later" I said
I laid my head back down and rested my eyes waiting until either Kate ou my mom got up. About an heure ou so of waiting and being Lost in my thoughts Kate woke up.
I opened my eyes and saw that she was looking right at me. "How can I help you?" I a dit smiling
"Oh just enjoying the view" She said
"Same here" I a dit nuzzling her
She nuzzled me back and then looked down at our pups "How are our pups?" She asked
"There great and beautiful, just like us" I said
"Good" She said, she lifted her head and looked outside "Well it looks like it's going to be a great day"
"Yeah, welcome to parenthood my darling" I a dit looking out of the tanière, den too
We sat there and looked at our pups noticing what features came from me and which ones came from Kate. After a short while my dad walked back into the tanière, den from his short walk.
"How was your walk?" I asked him as he walked into the den
"It was great toi should see how beautiful this jour is, not a nuage in the sky and super clear." He said
"Yeah I can tell just from here" Kate said
"I see that mom still isn't up" He said
"Yeah maybe it's time toi wake her up so we can get this jour started." I said
He walked over and shook my mom gently telling her to get up "Time to get up" He said
"Ugh... Morning already?" My mom a dit waking up
"Yeah sleepy head" He said
She lifted up her head and looked over at Kate and I "Good morning toi two" She a dit "Sleep well?"
"Sure did, how about toi Kate?" I said
"Best sleep I've had in weeks" Kate said
"Good, so how do toi feel Kate?" My mom asked
"Great" She said
"Good" My mom said
"So what do toi two plan to do today?" My dad asked
"Well I might hunt, but I'd rather spend all jour here with Kate and my new family." I said
"I just want to spend time with Humphrey and our pups all day" Kate said
"That's fine I'll do the hunting for today Humphrey" My mom a dit "You just stay here and relax"
"Thanks mom" I said
"I think I'll just lay here and spend some time with my son and Kate" My dad said
"Okay I might go see a few Friends after I go and hunt right now." My mom said
"Okay" I said
"I'll be back after I go and hunt" My mom a dit walking out of the den
"Okay bye honey" My dad said
"Alright I'm just going to lay here with our pups" Kate said
"Yeah same here while I talk with my dad" I a dit looking over at my dad who was sitting suivant to me.
For the rest of the jour Kate, my dad and I just relaxed and chatted amongst ourselves about our new pups and I got some conseil on being a father from my dad. My mom brought us accueil a caribou before she went out to spend some time with her Friends on the other side of the park. Jake and Sierra stopped bye later in the jour and spent some time holding the new pups. Before they a dit that they were going on a pre-honeymoon before the wedding, they a dit they were going to another park named Yellowstone National Park that was just south of here. We a dit our goodbyes and wished them a sûr, sans danger journey. My mom returned late in the night after spending the afternoon and evening with her friends. We all had a late dîner before going to bed. I fell asleep suivant to Kate with our pups huddled in between the two of us. My last thought before I fell asleep was 'Welcome to parenthood'
-THE END-
Humphrey's POV
I woke up with the rising sun shining in my fur, and Kate curled up against me. I looked over and saw my mom and dad sleeping in the other corner, but I didn't see Jake anywhere. I slowly got up, trying not to disturb Kate. I walked outside and saw that it was a clear and cloudy day, it was a slightly colder morning then the précédant ones. I decided to go and try my luck at hunting again, even though I should have waited until Kate gave me some training, but I knew I could do it. I was so close last time, and I'm sure I'll succeed this time. I walked out into the open meadow and got down low, I peered through the tall herbe and I saw a lone caribou away from its heard. I stalked my way through the herbe trying to be a silent as possible. Crept closer and closer to the unsuspecting caribou, it was too busy eating the herbe to see me. I was right suivant to it and I waited for the perfect moment to strike. It turned its head away and I saw the perfect time to jump. I jumped toward its neck and bit down on its throat, I could taste its blood as I bit down harder and harder. The caribou jumped and kicked around trying to shake me off, but it was too late my jaws were locked down and it would soon be dead. After what seemed like forever the creature fell over and died. I let go of its neck and licked the blood of my lips, I sat down a caught my breath.
I realized that I succeeded in killing it "Kate is going to be so proud." I a dit under my breath.
"I'm not sure about Kate, but I sure am." A voice a dit behind me
I turned around and saw Jake standing behind me "Oh there toi are, where were toi last night?" I asked
"Oh well I spent the night with Sierra" He said
"Oh so I see things went well between toi two" I a dit with a smile
"Yeah! toi were right I just needed to loosen up a little" He said
"See I told you" I a dit "Can toi give some details on what happened last night?"
"Sure, but first let's get this caribou accueil and have some breakfast." He a dit picking up the dead carcass
"Okay" I a dit and followed him back to the tanière, den helping him drag the caribou.
When we arrived back at the tanière, den everyone was still asleep, we dropped the carcass par the entrance of the tanière, den and walked inside.
"Rise and shine everyone, and see what Humphrey brought us." Jake said
Everyone slowly got up and stretched. "What did he bring us?" My dad asked
"See for yourself" I a dit moving out of the way so he could see the caribou
"Wow, but Humphrey I thought toi didn't know how to hunt?" He said
"I don't, but I did learn a thing ou two from watching Kate hunt back in Jasper." I said
Kate got up and walked over to me. "I'm proud of you," She a dit nuzzling me "but don't toi ever do that again, toi could have gotten hurt ou even killed."
"I'm sorry, but I was bored and decided to give it another shot." I said
"Well if you're so impatient then I'll teach toi today if toi want." She said
"Of course I want to, but after me and Jake have a small talk." I said
"Why did something happen?" My mom asked Jake
"No, nothing important" He said
"Okay" She said
"Come on, let's eat!" I said
"Sure thing" My dad said
We all took a part of the caribou and ate our share. After we all ate Jake and I left the tanière, den and took a walk out in the meadow.
"So what did toi guys do last night?" I asked
"Well first we just walked around and got to know each other, and then we just chatted a little while after that. When it got late I told her I should be getting back to my den, but then she told me that I should spend the night with her. At first I was hesitant and I got nervous, she saw that I was scuffling my paws and she noticed it. She just giggled and a dit "It's okay, I know that toi like me and I like toi too." Then I smiled and a dit that I liked her and that I'd l’amour to stay the night. She then nuzzled me and we both went to her tanière, den and slept together." He a dit while we walked.
"Way to go" I a dit "It looks like toi found your mate"
"Maybe, we'll see" He said
"When are toi going to see her again?" I asked
"Well I was thinking of right now, while Kate teaches toi to hunt."
"Okay bye, have fun" I said
Jake walked back into the forest and I turned around and walked back to the den. 'I knew it would work out between the two of them' I thought to myself as I walked. It was now high noon and the sun was shining through the big puffy clouds that were scattered around the sky. When I got back to the tanière, den Kate was waiting for my par the entrance.
"Hey" I said
"Hey" She a dit back "Where's Jake?"
"Oh he went to visit Sierra while toi taught me how to hunt." I said
"Well let's go then" She a dit walking par me
"Okay" I a dit following her
She lead me back out into the meadow, she jumped up on a rock and told me to sit down.
"Okay so the first think to learn when it comes to hunting is balance." She a dit as she stood up on one of her front paws and balanced her weight on it.
"Now toi try to balance on your two front paws" She said
"Uhh… Okay" I said, I managed to get up on them but I fell back over, hitting the ground. "Ow"
"That's okay, keep trying" She said
I gave it another shot but fell back over "This is harder that I thought" I said
"Well nothing is easy when it comes to being an Alpha." She said
"I know that" I a dit trying to balance again, I managed to hold it for a few seconds, then I fell back over again.
"You're slowly getting the hang of it" She said
I gave it another shot, over the few hours we were there I managed to hold my balance longer and longer each time. When nightfall came I managed to hold my balance without falling at all.
"I got the hang of it Kate" I a dit looking at her while balancing on my front paws
"I've noticed, toi learn pretty fast compared to some of the other loups back at Alpha school." She a dit hopping down from the rock "Come on Humphrey its getting dark out and we should get back to the den"
"What's the rush darling" I a dit getting back on my paws "You know it's the full moon don't you?"
"I know, what exactly are toi getting at?" She asked
"Well Jake showed me where a great romantic place is" I a dit smiling
"Are toi saying toi want to go on a rendez-vous amoureux, date with me?" She asked smiling back
"Yes I am" I a dit s’embrasser her on the cheek
"Of course I will go on a rendez-vous amoureux, date with you" She a dit s’embrasser me back
"Okay follow me then" I a dit turning and walking toward the peak where Jake had told me was where they did their moonlight howls
Kate and I walked side par side as we climbed up the mountain. When we got to the haut, retour au début we found that there was no one there. The moon was already shining bright in the sky and it reflected off the small pond that was at the haut, retour au début of the peak. Kate was amazed par how beautiful it was way up here.
"Wow it's so beautiful up here" She said
"Yeah, it sure beats the one back in Jasper" I said
"I'll say" She Said
We walked over to the edge of the peak and sat suivant to each other on the flat rock surface. Kate leaded her head against mine, and we both sat and enjoyed each other's company.
"I l’amour toi Kate" I said
"I l’amour toi too Humphrey" She said
"You want to howl?" I asked
"Of course" She said
We both sat back and raised our heads toward the sky. For the rest of the time we spent up there, we just howled and cuddled together. After about a few hours he decided to call it a night and head back to the den. When we arrived back at the tanière, den it was close the midnight and everyone was already asleep. Jake wasn't there so I just suspected he was at Sierra's den. Kate and I walked over to the spot we slept at and both laid down suivant to each other. Kate snuggled up against me and we both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 10
Humphrey's POV
It's been a few days since Kate started teaching me how to hunt and I was slowly getting plus skilled at curtain things. My balance was perfect and I had mastered how to do summersaults in the air and land with ease. Right now I was working on a stealth skills and how to be as light as a feather.
Everyone in the family now knew that Jake had a new girlfriend and Sierra occasionally came over and had dîner with us while we all told stories. Jake was now always spending his free time with Sierra and I spent all mine working on my hunting skills. Kate had gotten bigger and was still growing, she had lots of mood swings too.
It was now mid-day and Kate and I were out in the meadow doing some training. Kate would walk way ahead of me and I would silently stalk her until I caught up and captured her. But she could always counter my attacks and I usually the one who got captured. I was right behind her silently following her through the tall grass, I stayed very low to the ground so she wouldn't see me. I stopped and ducked down lower when she turned around and tried to look for me. She smelled the air, looking for my scent, but I knew that it's always best to stalk downwind of the prey. She turned her head back around and continued walking through the tall grass. I got back up and followed, I got closer and closer to her and soon I was only a few feet from her tail. I realized that now my chance to jump. I jumped up high in the air, but as I jumped I stepped on a small twig, and snapped it. I was falling back down right toward Kate. She turned around to see what made the sound, but she was too late. I landed right on her pinning her to the ground.
"Ha-ha, I caught you" I a dit proudly
"Great job" She a dit "but can toi please get off me, you're hurting me"
"Oh I'm sorry" I a dit getting off her "Are toi alright?" I asked
"Yeah it's just that I've been feeling weird lately" She said
"I think it might be because of the pups?" I asked
"Oh toi think!" She yelled at me
I jumped back surprised at her yelling "Yes I do think it's because of the pups" I said
"Well it's your fault I'm like this!" She snapped
"Why are toi yelling?" I a dit "It wasn't my entire fault"
"Ugh I'm sorry Humphrey it's just these darn mood swings again." She said
"It's okay there's no way to control them" I said
"Yea, you're right it's not all your fault, it was our decision." She said
"I say we take a break today" I said
"Yeah I could use some rest" She said
We both walked back to the tanière, den where we found that Jake had left again and Mom and Dad were out with some of their friends. Kate and I had the tanière, den too ourselves, Kate laid down on the ground and I sat suivant to her.
"So have toi thought of any names?" I asked her
"Not really, they're not even born yet" She said
"Well it's always good to plan ahead toi know." I said
"True" She a dit "Do toi have any ideas for names?"
"Well I'm not too sure, but I really like the name Nova" I said
"Nova? That's an odd name, but I like it" She said
"Really? I think it's perfect if one of them is a boy" I said
"I agree" She said, but then she grunted and put her paw on her stomach.
"Are toi okay" I asked
"Yea I'm fine, that was a weird feeling" She said
"What did it feel like?" I asked
"Well it felt like something moved inside me" She said
"Maybe the pups are kicking" I a dit putting my paw on her stomach. Just then I felt something kick "Yep they are"
"Yea... Wow that feels weird" She said
"Well I'm not sure if we should continue teaching until after the pups are born and are a few weeks old." I said
"Are toi sure, I feel like I can still teach you." She said
"No toi should just take it easy from now on, and no plus hunting, Jake and I will do all the hunting." I said
"Well as long as your careful when toi hunt, then I will allow toi too" She a dit "It looks like I'll be resting from now on"
"Yeah, but it's only for a few plus weeks. It'll be over before toi know it" I said
"What about the tanière, den toi a dit toi were going to make for us to live in." She asked
"Oh, I forgot about that" I said
"Well toi now can work on it, since we're not going to be doing any plus training for now." She said
"I guess so" I said, thinking of how I would build us a new home. Just then my dad walked in
"Hi dad" I said
"Hello, what are toi two up too?" He asked
"Well Kate now has to just lay around and chill until the pups are born." I said, and then my mom walked inside and sat suivant to my dad.
"How much longer until she's due?" My mom asked
"I'm not sure" I said, and Kate nodded her head agreeing.
"Well when did toi first conceive?" She asked
"Well..." I counted the number of days in my head "It's been about 12 days ou so." I said
"Well then toi guys still have a mois ou so until Kate's due." She said
"What are we going to do when the pups are born? I don't think we have enough room in here." My dad said
"Well I was going to build another den, toi can help me if toi want." I said
"I think that's a great idea, it'll be good to spend some time with my first son." He said
"Good, we can start tomorrow. Let's just rest today." I a dit lying down suivant to Kate
"I couldn't agree more, plus I've been feeling a little tired today." My mom said, lying down.
My dad sat suivant to me and we chatted and told some funny jokes while the girls slept.
Meanwhile
Jake's POV
I was sitting in Sierra's tanière, den waiting for her to come back from her parents den. She had left earlier to get some nourriture for the two of us. Our relationship had been going really well, and I was no longer nervous about talking to girls. Life couldn't going any better for me, I really thought she was the one for me and I hope she thought the same way about me. I could hear the running of paws in the distance and I watched as Sierra walking to the tanière, den with two caribou legs in her jaws. She dropped the legs down in between us.
"Who's hungry?" She said
"I sure am!" I said
"Well dig in then" She a dit tossing one leg to me
"Thanks babe" I a dit smiling
I could see her blush under her fourrure "You're welcome" She a dit giggling
"So what do toi want to do for the rest of the day?" She asked
"Well let's see, we can go for a walk, ou maybe we can just stay here and relax." I said
"I'd like to just relax, but toi know what tonight is right?" She asked
"No, is it important" I said
She laughed "Of course it's important, silly" She said
"Hmmm..." I a dit trying to remember what today was "Is it your birthday?" I a dit guessing
"Nope far from it, come on toi know this one. What happened a week il y a from today?" She said
"Hmm..." Then it hit me "It's our one week anniversary!" I said
"That's right, and here toi gift" She a dit pulling me in and giving me a long kiss.
"Well toi won't get your present until tonight" I a dit with a sly smile, seeing if she knew what I meant.
"Oh I can wait" She a dit smiling back at me
"But first I want to know if toi want to go to the moonlight howl with me tonight?" I asked
"I've been waiting for toi to say that, of course I'll go with you, but can Kate and Humphrey come too." She said
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure they would want to go with us." I said
"Oh boy a double rendez-vous amoureux, date I can't wait" She said
"Come on let's go see if Kate and Humphrey are done with training." I a dit walking out her den
"Okay" She a dit following me
We walk over to my parents tanière, den and found my mom and Kate both asleep and my dad a brother were sitting and having a chat. We walked into the den.
"Hi toi two" Humphrey said
"Hi" We both said
"What are toi guys up too?" My dad asked
"Well we wanted to know if Kate and Humphrey wanted to go on the moonlight howl with us tonight." Sierra asked
"I'm sorry guys, but Kate need to rest, from now on." He said
"Why?" She asked
"Because she's at that stage of pregnancy, where she need to rest." My dad said
"Oh" She said
"Mom and I will come with toi guys, we haven't been to a moonlight howl for years." He said
"Okay" I said
"We should get going soon so we can get a good spot." He said
"Okay" I said
We all sat around and chatted while we waited until it was time to go. When the time to go came my dad woke up my mom and told her that they were coming to the moonlight howl with us. She was excited about it and we were all ready to go. We all a dit goodbye to Humphrey as we walked out of the den.
Chapter 11
Humphrey's POV
I stood outside my parents den, enjoying the view of the mountains and forest. It was now a little past sunset, the sky was slowly getting darker. The full moon was now shining bright in the sky, and the stars were lighting up one par one. Jake and the others had all left about an heure ago. I would have loved to go to the moonlight howl with Kate, but she needed her rest. Kate was curled up in a ball in the corner of the den, still sound asleep. I decided that I should wake her up; I walked over to her and nudged her with my snout, telling her to get up.
She opened her eyes "Hey sweetie" She said
"Hi" I said
She got up and "Were is everybody?" She asked looking around the room
"They all went to the moonlight howl." I said
"What? Why didn't we go?" She asked
"Well toi need to rest, plus toi were toi look so pretty while toi sleep and I didn't want to wake toi up." I said
"Aww, thanks" She said, nuzzling me
"So it looks like we got the tanière, den to ourselves tonight" I said
"Yeah, too bad I'm pregnant ou else we would fool around." She a dit with a sly smile
I smiled back "Yeah too bad" I a dit giving her a wink
"So what are we going to do tonight" She asked
"Well I was thinking we could have our own little private moonlight howl here, just the two of us." I said
"That sounds like a great idea" She said
"But first, how about some dinner" I said
"Sure I'm hungry, and so are the pups" She said
I walked outside and grabbed two caribou legs from a carcass that I had hunted earlier. I walked back into the tanière, den and saw that Kate was looking as poking at her belly.
"What's wrong?" I asked dropping the two legs on the ground.
"The pups are kicking again" She said
"I want to feel" I a dit putting my paw on her belly, I could feel them kicking "I can't wait to see what toi guys look like"
I saw Kate smile "I'm sure they will be beautiful" She said
"Just like us" I a dit licking her cheek
"Aww" She a dit licking me back
"Well let's eat" I a dit handing her a caribou leg
We both ate our dîner and talked about what our pups will look like.
"... I think one pup will be a mix of our fourrure couleurs and personality." Kate a dit finishing her meal
"Yeah and one will act like toi but look like me" I said
"Well I don't know about that" Kate said
"Well then I guess we'll have to wait and see" I said
"Yeah" I said
It was now completely dark outside and I could see that the forest was light up with the light from the full moon. I could her faint howls in the distance that were coming from the moonlight howl.
"I think now is a great time to do some howling, don't toi think?" I said
"I couldn't agree more, let's go" She said, slowly getting up and walking out of the den.
I followed her and sat down suivant to where she stood, I could see that she was admiring all of the pretty stars in the sky.
"Isn't it beautiful" She said
"Yeah but now as beautiful as toi in the moonlight" I a dit smiling at her
I could see her blush a little "Aww toi always say the cutest and sweetest things" She a dit nuzzling me
"Are toi ready?" I asked
"I was born ready" She said
We both sat down and raised our heads to the sky, letting out our howls. They blended perfectly as always into a beautiful medley. We sat there and howled for way seemed like forever. We both finished our howls and Kate rested her head against mine. We sat there cuddling under the light of the moon.
Later
It was now late in the night and Kate and I were still cuddling outside of the den, looking up and the night sky. Enjoying each others company as we could hear the howls in the distance die down, signaling that's the moonlight howl was now over. I heard Kate yaw suivant to me.
"Looks like somebody's tired" I said
"Yeah I am" She said
"Well then we should get to lit I'm tired too." I said
"A few plus minutes" She a dit sounding obviously sleepy.
"No come on" I a dit with a chuckle "If we stay like this any longer then we'll fall asleep like this."
She slowly got off me and got up walking to back into the den. I followed her in and we both laid down suivant to each other, She cuddled up against me.
"Goodnight Humphrey, I had a great time tonight."
"So did i hot stuff, goodnight" I a dit smiling
She giggled and nuzzled me "I l’amour toi so much" She said
"I l’amour toi too so much" I a dit nuzzling her back
We both closed our eyes and drifted into dreamland, I could feel Kate cuddle up against me and the night wore on.
Chapter 12
Kate's POV
It was a mostly restless night for me, the awkward feeling of the pups kicking made it uncomfortable for me to sleep. It was still late in the night, I had been up for an heure ou so now. I was cuddled up against Humphrey's side. I decided that I should wake him up and tell him I was having trouble sleeping. I got up and was about to wake him when I heard a voice behind me.
"Are toi okay Kate?" The voice said
I turned around and saw Lupa standing behind me. "Yeah I'm fine, just restless" I said
"You want to talk about it" She said
"Well I'm just not used to the feeling of the pups kicking, and it makes me too uncomfortable to sleep." I said
"I see, toi know I was the same way when I was pregnant" She said
"You were?" I said
"Yeah, I was quite restless and didn't get much sleep." She said
"Oh, how long did it take until toi were able to sleep again?" I asked
"Well it only lasted a few days, then after that I got used to the feeling and was able to sleep comfortably again." She said
"Good, I was hoping it wouldn't last the whole time I was pregnant." I a dit relived "Well I'm going to go and try and get some sleep before dawn approaches."
"Okay so will I, if toi have any plus problems of questions feel free to tell me, after all I am your mother in law." She said
"Thanks and I will" I said
I laid back down suivant to Humphrey who was sound asleep with a big grin on his face. 'Hmm I wonder what he's dreaming about,' I thought to myself 'It must have me in it.' I cuddled up closer to him and closed my eyes trying to fall back asleep. Luckily the pups weren't kicking and I easily fell asleep.
Later...
I managed to get few plus hours before waking up to the feeling of the pups kicking again. I opened my eyes and saw that it was not early morning. The sun had just risen but it was grey and cloudy outside. I laid there for what felt like days until I felt Humphrey stir in his sleep. I turned my head and saw that he had rolled over and was now facing me, his nose just and inch from mine. I decided to give him a little surprise. I press my nose against his and waited until he woke up. We stayed like that for several minutes and finally he began to stir even plus before finally opening his eyes. When he noticed that our noses were touching he let out a small chuckle.
"Well good morning sweetheart" He a dit licking my cheek
This made me blush "Good morning, just thought I'd give toi a little surprise this morning." I said
"Well I sure am surprised, I had the most wonderful dream last night and toi were in it." He said
"I could tell" I a dit giggling
He looked puzzled "How?" He asked
"Well I was up in the middle of the night in I noticed toi had a big grin on your face." I said
"Oh, wait toi were up in the middle of the night and toi didn't wake me up?" He asked
"Well I was going to, but your mom got up and we talk for a short while then I went back to bed." I said
"Why were toi up?" He asked
"The pups were kicking a lot last night and it was making me uncomfortable." I said
"Oh, well suivant time wake me up" He said
"So what was your little dream about?" I asked
"Well I won't say it aloud cause everyone else I here but I was whisper it to you" He said
He leaned over and whispered in my ear (A/N: Use your imagination), when I heard him tell me I giggled and then blushed, my tail wagged.
"You really dreamed about that?" I a dit whispering
"Well toi sure are hot, so why wouldn't I" He a dit smiling and giving me a wink
"Aww, you're so sweet" I a dit nuzzling him
He stretched and let out a yawn "Well todays going to be great" He said
"Why?" I asked
"Well I'm going to start building our den" He said
"Oh that's great, isn't your dad going to help you" I said
"Yeah, and so will Jake if he's not busy with Sierra" He said
"I doubt that, he isn't even here" I a dit noticing that Jake wasn't in the den
He noticed too "You're right" He said
"What am I going to do all day, just sit here all day" I a dit not happy about the idea
"Well I'm sure toi and my mom can chat all jour and watch me and my dad build the new den." He said
"Okay" I said,
Then I remembered that we had forgotten to tell everyone back in Jasper that we had decided to live here in Montana. I'm sure my mom and dad are worried sick about me and Humphrey.
"Oh gosh I just remembered that we never told everyone back in Jasper that we decided to stay here." I said
"Well we can't go now you're too far into your pregnancy and I won't go alone." He said
"What about Jake, can't he go and tell them?" I asked
"I doubt it, I'm sure Sierra won't let him go." He said
"True..." I said, I thought for a seconde then I got an idea "What about Marcel and Paddy?" I asked
"That's a good idea, but sadly we have no idea where they are." He said
"Well I guess all we can do I wait until they montrer up, ou if one of the loups from Jasper finds us." I said
"Yeah I guess so" He said
We sat there and chatted on about stuff until everyone woke up. after about an heure ou so Humphrey's dad woke up and walked over to us.
"Good morning" He said
"Good morning" Humphrey and I a dit in unison
"So how are toi two?" He asked
"Were great" I said
"Good to hear" He said
"So dad, are toi ready to work on the new tanière, den today?" Humphrey asked
"Sure am, but how about some breakfast I'm starving"
"Same here," I a dit "and so are the pups"
"Well let's wait for mother to wake up" He said
Just as he a dit that Lupa woke up and stretched "Good morning" She said
"Good morning" We all said
"Let me guess Jake is still at Sierras?" She asked
"Yep" Humphrey said
"Well we were waiting for toi to get up so we could have some breakfast and now your up so lets eat." Lyall said,
He walked over to a freshly killed caribou, and dragged it into the den. We all took one leg off and spit the head and neck into four equal parts. We all dug in and ate our share, as soon as we finished we all licked the blood out of our fur.
"That's was on good caribou" Lyall said
"I'll say" Humphrey's said
"So are toi ready to go build that den?" He asked Humphrey
"Sure am, let's go" He said
He got up and following his dad out of the tanière, den and into the grey cloudy morning, leaving the tanière, den to me and Lupa.
"So did toi get anymore rest last night?" She asked me
"Yeah I managed to get a few hours in" I said
"That's good" She said
We sat there a chatted while Humphrey and his dad worked on the new den.
Humphrey's POV
My dad and I walked over to the old arbre stump that was half hollowed out underneath. I could tell that we would need to do a lot of digging under the stump so that there was enough room underneath to support a new family.
"So how do toi want to make it?" I asked
"Well toi could dig out under the arbre stump and then we could put herbe and arbre bark on haut, retour au début to keep out the elements." He said
"That's what I was thinking of doing" I said
"Let's dig" My dad a dit and the dug his claws into the ground.
"Wait I got an idea, wait here" I a dit walking over to an old dead arbre the was nearby. I ripped off two small curved prices of bark and handed on to my father. "You can use this to dig out dirt faster"
"Good idea" He a dit and he gridded the bark into the ground digging out big chunks of dirt.
I moved over suivant to him and started digging out the other side of the so to be den. We spent a few hours ou so digging out the entrance that dropped down under the stump. Kate would come par every now and then to see how it was turning out. After we dug out the entrance started digging out under the arbre stump. We did this for only an heure ou so because the sun was starting to set. Dad and I decided to call it a jour and go wash off for dinner. We walked over to the pond and dipped our bodies in shaking off the dirt. We then proceeded back to the tanière, den where we found Kate and my mom sitting and chatting on about girl stuff. I was that there was a new caribou carcass on the ground of the den.
"Who caught this?" I asked looking at them
"Oh, I did" My mom said
"Wow I thought toi never hunted" I said
"Well I did when it was just me and toi father here but when all toi arrived I stopped." She said
"How is the tanière, den looking so far?" Kate asked
"It's coming along great, were about a third of the way done digging out the bottom." I a dit " It should be done in the suivant week ou so"
"Okay good" She said
"Enough chatter I'm hungry" My dad a dit taking a leg off the carcass
"Same here" I a dit taking off the other front leg
We both sat down with the girls and eat our dinner.
"Aren't toi girls hungry?" My dad asked
"No were fine"
"Okay then" He said
"Jake sure is busy today" I said
"Yeah doing nothing with his girlfriend" Kate a dit laughing, making us all laugh too
"Well I think it's great that he's finally found someone" My mom a dit "I thought he'd never get one cause of his shyness."
"Well thanks to me he's now over that" I said
After was all ate dîner we sat and talked for a while until I was barely keep my eyes open. I told everyone goodnight and walked over to the corner of the tanière, den and laid down. Kate soon joined me along with my parents who slept on the other side of the den. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with Kate's warm body press up against me.
Chapter 13
Humphrey's POV
Another few days have gone par and the new tanière, den was nearing completion thanks to my dad's help. All we had left to do was joint, joint d’étanchéité to roof up to protect it from the elements.
"Go get some plus herbe bro" I a dit to Jake who decided to help me instead of spent the jour with Sierra.
"Okay" He a dit getting up and walking out into the meadow.
I was weaving and stuffing the herbe onto the den. "Were almost done" I a dit to my dad who was on the other side doing the same thing as me.
"I'll say maybe toi can sleep in it tonight if we hurry." He said
"Well we only have about 3 hours until sunset and heure ou so of twilight after that." I said
"Here" Jake a dit as he walked over to me with a mouth full of grass
"Thanks" I a dit taking the herbe from him
He sat suivant to me and spread the herbe over the haut, retour au début of the den. My dad got up and went back to the tanière, den saying he wanted to check on the girls, leaving Jake and I working on the den.
"So how are things going with toi and Sierra?" I asked
"It's going great so far" He a dit "I really think she's the one for me"
"Good, toi two make a great couple" I said
"Thanks" He said
"Have you... toi know" I a dit raising an eyebrow
"What do toi mean... Oh no not yet" He a dit "Were just taking it slow"
"Well that's great" I a dit "It's always good not to rush into it too fast." I said
"But I must ask since no one is here, what's it like?" He asked
"Oh... Well it's a unforgettable experience" I said
"I'm sure it is" He a dit "Anyway how are things with Kate going?"
"Things are great so far, toi can tell that the pups are growing because now she has gotten much bigger." I said
"Well I noticed that" He a dit "So are toi excited to be a father?"
"To be honest I am a bit nervous, but I can't wait to be a father." I said
We sat and kept of talking while spreading and weaving the herbe over the den. But then I could hear the sound of two voices arguing over something overhead. I looked up and too my surprise I was Marcel and Paddy flying above me.
"Marcel!" I yelled up to them
I saw them stop arguing and the looked down and saw me "Ah hello there Mr. Wolf" I heard him say. They colombe down and landed suivant to Jake and I
"Who are these two?" Jake asked
"These guys helped Kate and I back accueil from Idaho." I told him
"Oh darn, I was looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to eating them." Jake said
"So how are things Mr. Wolf" Marcel said
"Please call me Humphrey" I a dit "And things are great Kate and I have decided to live here with my parents."
"That's sounds great" Paddy said
"And where's Kate?" Marcel asked
"She's back in the tanière, den along with my family. Oh and I forgot" I walked over to Jake "Jake this is Marcel and Paddy." "Marcel Paddy this is my brother Jake" I said
"Well toi two do look a lot alike" Paddy said
"Come on follow me and I'll introduce toi to the rest of the family." I a dit walking toward the tanière, den as they followed.
"I'll stay here and work on the tanière, den if toi don't mind" Jake said
"Ok go ahead" I called over my shoulder
We walked into the tanière, den "Hey Kate look who I found" I a dit walking in
"Who did toi find?..." Kate a dit turning around and seeing Marcel and Paddy standing suivant to me. "Marcel! Paddy!" She yelled giving them both a hug
"Nice to see toi again" Marcel said
"Yeah and it looks like the little loups had grown quite a bit" Paddy a dit seeing Kate's large belly
"Who's this?" My mom asked
"Mom dad this is Marcel and Paddy, they helped me and Kate get back to Jasper when we were taken to Idaho" I a dit "Marcel Paddy these are my parents"
"Nice to meet you" Marcel a dit along with Paddy
"Same here" My dad said
"So we need toi two to do us a favor" I said
"Of course anything for toi two lovebirds" Marcel said
"Great, can toi guys fly back to Jasper and tell Kate's parents that we decided to stay and live here in Montana. Also montrer them the way to get here." I told them
"You got it, come on Paddy the sooner we get this done the sooner we can get back to some golf." He a dit taking off out of the tanière, den followed par Paddy.
"Bye guys!" Kate yelled as they flew off
I could hear them resume their argument from earlier "I wonder what there arguing about now." I said
"I bet it's about their little game they played called golf" Kate a dit letting out a small laugh
I laughed "I bet you're right" I said
"So how's the tanière, den coming along?" Kate asked
"It's just about done, I think we can sleep in it tonight."
"Oh good" Kate a dit "Let's go finish it then I'll come and help."
"Well... ok let's go" I said
Kate and I walked out of the den, the sun was just about to set into the mountains in the distance. We only had just over an heure to finish and I was sure we could finish it. I could still see Jake covering the tanière, den with grass. We walked over to the new tanière, den and Kate walked inside to see how it looked.
"Wow it's pretty big in here" She a dit "Lots of room for us and our pups."
"It's not much but it works" I said
"Well I think it perfect for us and our new family" She said
"Alright will toi two amoureux come over here and help me cover this last part of the den." Jake said
"Coming" I a dit walking over and helping Jake finish the roof.
Kate walked back inside the tanière, den and cleaned out some of the rocks that were in there. About twenty minutes later the tanière, den was finally complete and just in time because the sun had just set.
"It's done" I said
"Finally" Jake a dit "Now I can go spend some time with Sierra" He a dit getting up and walking away
"Well I sure am tired. I don't know about toi but I'm going to he'd early tonight." I a dit to Kate walking to our den
"I'll rejoindre toi in kind of tired too" She said
We both laid down and chatted and cuddled until we both feel asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 14
Humphrey's POV
Another week has gone par and things were going great, Kate was almost at her due rendez-vous amoureux, date and I have been improving my hunting skills. Marcel and Paddy had returned from their trip to Jasper and back. They a dit that Kate's parents weren't happy with the idea but as long as Kate was happy they were happy. They also a dit that Kate's parents wanted to come par and visit in two week's time just after the pups were born. Jake and Sierra were now engaged and the wedding would be in two week's time, I was happy for my brother for overcoming his shyness of girls. My parents have been looking after Kate while I was out on my hunts. She was always talking to my mom about how to parent and they went through a few labor exercises to prepare her for the pain of child birth.
It was a dark a gloomy day, there were dark grey clouds in the sky and it had been foggy all morning. I was out on a hunt on my own, approaching the meadow that seemed to disappear into grey infinity. I stayed low to the ground and made my way through the tall grass. I crept through the meadow looking out into the fog looking for the dark outline of a caribou. Eventually I found a small herd of caribou emerging out of the fog. I stayed down low as I walked around the heard so that I was down wind of them. I could see four caribou eating the moist grass. There were two males and two females, I decided to play it sûr, sans danger and go for one of the females. Creeping up behind her I waited for the right moment to strike. I waited and waited until the sound of a howling loup in the far distance made the herd look away from where I was. I took advantage of the moment and jumped at the caribou. I bit my jaws down on its neck suffocating it to death. It's started to fall over but before we both hit the ground I jumped off and managed to land on the back of the other female. It kicked its back legs up trying to throw me off but I dug my claws into its back. I made my way to its neck and bit down hard, ripping out its neck causing it to die before hitting the ground. We both hit the ground and I looked to see the two males fleeing from the scene. 'Damn' I thought to myself 'that was a very successful double kill.' I sat down catching my breath for a minute then letting out a howl for someone to come help me. As if on cue Jake along with Sierra emerged from the fog.
"I see toi need some help there bro" Jake said
"You think" I joked
"Wow a double kill, great job Humphrey" Sierra said
"Well we don't need two caribou so why don't toi two take that smaller on and I'll take the bigger one back to Kate and our parents." I said
"Really, thanks bro" Jake a dit picking up the caribou with his jaws and started drag it back to his den.
We all a dit goodbye and I picked up the caribou in my jaws and dragged it back to the den. Jake and Sierra disappeared into the fog as we got farther apart. I was surprised at how much the caribou weighed for its size 'Wow this is a fat one' I thought to myself. After dragging the caribou for what felt like hours I made it back to the den. I set the dead caribou on the ground just outside my parents den. I walked into the tanière, den and saw my mom and Kate sitting and talking.
"I'm back" I a dit walking in
"How did the hunt go?" My mom asked
"It was very successful, I got my first double kill." I a dit proud of myself
"Wow and what happened to the other caribou?" She asked looking and seeing only one caribou on the ground outside.
"I gave it too Jake and Sierra" I said
"Ok" She said
"Great job Humphrey" Kate a dit to me "You're getting better at hunting"
"Yeah, not bad for and Omega" I said
"You mean Alpha" Kate corrected me
"Why Alpha?" I asked
"Because now that toi know how to hunt that makes toi part Alpha." She said
"So I'm a Beta then?" I said
"Pretty much" She said, and then she looked outside "Wow it's still foggy out there"
"Yeah it makes everything around us looks surreal" I said
"True, so let's eat" She said
"I thought you'd never ask" I a dit walking out of the tanière, den and grabbing the caribou.
I dragged it into the tanière, den and placed it in the center of the den. Kate, my mom and I all took a leg and saved the rest for later.
"So where's dad at?" I asked
"I think he a dit he was going to see some Friends of his." My mom said
"Well we better save a leg for him when he gets back" I a dit "How are toi feeling Kate?"
"I've felt better but I'm good" She said
"Good" I said
"So didn't those Friends of yours say that Kate parents were coming in two weeks?" My mom asked
"Oh toi mean Marcel and Paddy, yeah they did" I a dit "Hopefully Eve isn't made at me"
"Why would she be?" She asked
"Let's just say she's really protective over me" Kate a dit "Don't worry honey I'm sure that she just wants to see the pups."
"I hope so, but if she is made I'm booking it out of here" I a dit laughing
Kate laughed "Yeah but I'm sure she would hunt toi down"
"Why would he need to run off she was mad, couldn't they just talk it out." My mom said
"Yeah but I would be dead before I would even get a word in" I a dit still laughing
"Oh I see" My mom a dit "She sounds like she's really protective"
"She sure is" Kate said
"How about Kate's father, what's he like" She asked
"Well he is the pack leader and he's mellow and a really nice guy." Kate said
"Yes and a really great father in law" I added in
"Okay, well I can't wait to meet them" She said
Suddenly a dark furred loup with blue eyes appeared around the corner of the tanière, den entrance.
"Hi Polaris" My mom said
"Hi" He a dit "Umm... Can toi come with me for a minute Lupa"
"Sure, wait here guys I'll be back" She a dit to us
"Okay" Kate and I said
About a minute ou so passed and my mom reappeared around the corner, sadness in her eyes.
"Bring him in guys" She said
Polaris and another loup appeared around the corner. They walked onto the tanière, den and I noticed another loup on their backs that had cuts and bruises all over his back and sides. They placed the injured loup and the ground and I noticed that it was my father.
My jaw dropped "What happened?" I asked
"I'm sorry toi guys we were walking up in the mountains and the fog was very thick we could only see only a few feet ahead of us. Unfortunately Lyall didn't see that there was a cliff in front of him and he walked over the edge and fell. We ran down the side of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff and we found him like this." Polaris said
"You mean he's dead!" I a dit not believing it
"No he can't be dead he's still breathing, the impact from the fall was enough to knock him out cold." He a dit "He should wake up within the suivant two days ou so."
"Thanks for bringing him here" My mom a dit to Polaris "You can go now"
"Will do" He a dit walking out of the tanière, den along with the other wolf.
"Oh my god" My mom a dit almost on the verge of tears "why did this happen"
I walked over and rested my paw on her back "It's okay mom" I a dit comforting her "It was just and accident, he still alive"
"But look at him Humphrey" She a dit to me "It'll take weeks for those scars to heal, and it might take longer if he has any broken bones."
"True, but all we can do now is wait for him to wake back up." Kate said
"Well I'll wait right here until he wakes up" My mom a dit laying down suivant to my dad
"Okay" I a dit "come on Kate let's go back to our tanière, den a rest."
"Okay" Kate said
Kate and I walked out of the tanière, den and headed to our tanière, den which wasn't to far away. We walked inside and laid down suivant to each other. I could tell that it was now early evening and the sun would set soon. Kate was soon fast asleep suivant to me, I could tell that she was tired par her eyes back at my parents tanière, den earlier. That's why we came back here to our tanière, den so she could get to sleep, and also to give my mom some privacy after what just happened. I was glad that my dad was okay and that he survived the fall, but once he wakes up he'll have to deal with all the pain from his scars and broken bones. If he has any. I laid there awake for a few hours thinking about Kate and I and our new family. The pups were dues to be born between the suivant week to two weeks according to my mom, and I was ready to take the responsibility of being a father to my pups. And I'm sure that Kate is the same way. I fell asleep after another few minutes and fell into my dreams.
Chapter 15
Humphrey's POV
It's been two days and my dad had just woken up after being knocked out. He a dit he was in pain and that he didn't remember anything that happened on the jour he fell of the cliff. It was a clear and sunny afternoon and Kate and I were relaxing in my parents tanière, den keeping my dad company. He had also broken his one of his legs, so he couldn't walk too well. I would have to walk par his side while he leaned on me just so he could get up and déplacer around. Jake would come par every now and then to check in on how dad was doing. Jake now lives with his soon to be wife and spends most of the jour with her. My mom was out getting some herbe to make a makeshift lit for my dad, and also for Kate when she has her pups. Kate's due rendez-vous amoureux, date was getting closer and closer, she now spent that nights sleeping in my parents tanière, den just in case the pups decide to be born prematurely. I would spend most of the jour running around hunting caribou and gathering water for Kate and my dad who mostly stayed in the tanière, den all day. I also have been making our tanière, den nice and clean for the pups. Kate and I were talking to each other while my dad took a nap. My mom walked into the tanière, den with a mouth full of fresh herbe from the nearby meadow.
"Alright just one plus trip back to the meadow and we'll have enough grass." She a dit putting the herbe on the ground with the two other piles. She turned around and walked back out of the den.
"Okay" I a dit as she walked out
Kate and I continued our conversation while we waited for her to return. We didn't have to wait long because ten minutes later she walked back into the tanière, den with another mouthful of herbe in his jaws. She placed it on the ground par the other herbe piles.
"So how is he?" She asked
"He still says he's in pain but he's doing better than when he first woke up." I said
"Well that's good" She a dit "Kate come help me make Lyall a lit for him to lie on."
"Okay" She said
She walked over to the pile of herbe and helped her make them into a pad for my dad to lie on. I stayed par me dad's side while he slept and waited for them to finish with the bed. After a few minutes of waiting the had finished with the bed. My mom then dragged my sleeping dad onto the lit and laid him back down.
"He sure is a heavy sleeper" I said
"Oh toi won't believe the things he sleep through" My mom a dit "Not even a close strike of lighting will wake this man up."
"Wow really" I a dit laughing, Kate laughed too
"Well no wonder Humphrey's a heavy sleeper" Kate said
"What I'm a heavy sleeper?" I a dit surprised
"Yes you've slept through a lot of things" She said
"Oh yeah like what?" I asked
"Well pretty much every thunderstorm that has rolled through Jasper, you've slept through every single Kiss I've donné to toi on your sleep, and one time there were two loups arguing very loudly just outside of your old den." She said
I was surprised "Wow I've slept through all those things" I said
"Sure did" She said
"And Humphrey was a heavy sleeper when he was a pup" My mom added in
"Ahh... I remember the good times of puppyhood" I a dit recalling memories
"So do I" Kate said
"What was your favori part?" I asked
"Well my favori part was when I met a cute little grey wolf; I quickly fell in l’amour with him." She said
I was confused "Cute little grey wolf?" I asked
"Yeah don't toi know who I'm talking about" She said
"Nope" I a dit shaking my head
"Well toi know him very well" She said, little did I know that Kate realized I was confused and decided to mess with me, before telling me she was talking about me.
"Hmm... is it Hutch" I guessed
"Nope" She said
"I know it's Salty... Oh wait he's and Omega that wouldn't work"
She laughed "No not even close" She said
"Then I give up" I said
"Come on sweetie who's the person toi know the most?" She said
"That would be toi but you're not grey furred" I said
"Well toi know someone else plus then toi know me" She said
"Is this some kind of trick question?" I said
"Really toi don't know?" She asked
"Nope I don't sorry" I said, par this time Kate and my mom were dying laughing "Why are toi guys laughing?"
"Because of how thick headed toi are" Kate said
"Well I don't know who you're talking about" I said
"So toi don't know a loup that is bluish grey furred with a white underbelly and has ice blue eyes." She said
It finally hit me "Oh you're talking about me" I said
"Yea toi think who's the only loup that I could ever love?" She a dit laughing
I wagged my tail "That would be me" I said
My dad woke up and looked at us sitting on the other side of the den. "Why are toi guys laughing?" He asked
"Oh nothing I'm just messing with Humphrey" Kate said
"Oh well have fun then, I'm going back to sleep and keep the volume down please." He a dit rolling over and facing away from us
"Ok" I said
"So what was your favori part of puppyhood Humphrey?" My mom asked
"Well it was when I met this beautiful loup right here" I a dit s’embrasser Kate on the cheek
"Aww... You're so sweet" Kate said
"Aren't I always" I a dit smiling
"Yes toi are" Kate a dit smiling back
It was now dark outside and it was getting late, I was tired and decided to call it a night.
"Alright I'm tired and going to bed" I a dit turning around starting to walk out of the den.
"Wait Humphrey shouldn't toi stay here just in case Kate goes into labor." My mom said
"Yeah" Kate said
I turned around "But she isn't due for another week ou so" I said
"True but most loups sometimes give birth early that expected." My mom said
"Well I'm sure Kate will be fine for just one plus night, won't toi darling." I said
"Well okay but one plus night" Kate said
"Then after that you're sleeping in here until your pups are born" My mom said
"Okay" I a dit giving Kate a quick Kiss and then turning around and walking out of the den. "Goodnight" I called over my shoulder as I walked out of the tanière, den and into the darkness
The moon wasn't out and it was complete midnight I could barely see in front of me. I made it to my tanière, den and walked inside; I laid down on the flat ground and went Lost in my thoughts. I wanted to spend a night alone so I could just think to myself about be becoming a soon father and I was also thinking of what Kate's and my pups would look like. I spent a good heure ou so thinking and then closed my eye and fell asleep into dreamland.
Later
I was woken up par the sound of yelling I could barely hear the person's voice but I could make out the words "Humphrey! Humphrey! Come quick!" The voice yelled, I could tell whoever it was they were getting closer. I recognized that it was my mom's voice yelling, I knew exactly what was going on.
Chapter 16
Humphrey's POV
I got up on my feet just as my mom came flying into my den.
She stopped running and tried to catch her breath "Kate... Pups... Now" She a dit in between breaths
"Well their early" I joked "Come on let's not leave her alone over there too long."
"Hold on just one minute, she'll be fine your dad is par her side right now. And she only having contractions she's not in labor yet." She a dit breathing heavily
"Okay" I a dit waiting for her to catch her breath. After a few minutes I asked "Are toi ready yet?" I a dit a little anxious to get to the birth of my pups.
"Yea let's go" She a dit getting up off the floor
I walked out of the tanière, den but then it turned into a run as I raced to my parents den, my mom close behind. "Wow toi sure are fast for your age mom" I a dit to her
"Well I only get to see the birth of my first grandchildren once so I want to make sure I don't miss it." She said
We kept running through the dark forest, the moon was still not out yet. I could see the tanière, den just up ahead of my 'Almost there, it's the accueil stretch' I thought to myself. I ran up to the front of the tanière, den and quickly slowed down so I didn't come crashing into the cave. I walked into the down with my mom close behind me; I saw Kate and my dad in the back of the cave. Kate and my dad turned their heads around and saw me and my mom walking in.
"I told toi that toi should have stayed here tonight" Kate a dit sounding somewhat annoyed
"I know toi were right, I'm sorry, but I'm here now and I'll be par your side." I a dit "So how do toi feel?"
"How do I feel? How do toi think I feel?" She snapped
I just ignored what she a dit because I knew that it was just because of her mood swings. "Okay okay" I a dit "I know it was a stupid question" I laughed a little
"Oh toi think!" She a dit "I'm sorry Humphrey it's because of all of these darn mood swings and that pain I'm about to undergo."
"its okay" I a dit holding her paw
"I think ones start to move" She said
My mom walked over to us and got ready to deliver our pups "Alright Kate just as we practiced, push and breath" She said
"Okay" Kate said, I could see some sweat on her face
I placed my paw on the ground and placed Kate's paw on haut, retour au début of my paw "Here" I a dit "You can push as hard as toi want on my paw so that it helps with the pain." I said
"Thank you" She a dit before grunting a little from the pain
"Alright keep pushing" My mom said
Kate pushed and let out a small scream of pain.
"Alright I can just see the first one coming out now" My mom said
"Keep going" I said
Kate pushed again and screamed in pain again that echoed out of the den.
"The head has popped out, just on plus push and it will be out." My mom said
Kate pushed one plus time screaming again
"Alright it's out, here Lyall" She a dit handing my first pup to my dad "One down"
"You're doing great" I told Kate comforting her
Kate pushed as the suivant pup was now coming out.
"Here comes the suivant one" My mom said
Just then Jake and Sierra came running into the tanière, den "We heard screaming is everything okay?" Jake asked he then looked at Kate and I "Oh it's time"
"Yea I did, our dad has our first born pup" I said
Sierra went over to help my mom with the delivery and Jake went to see my first born pup.
"Keep pushing, it's halfway out" My mom said
Kate pushed grunting from the pain
"Good job the seconde one is out" She a dit handing the pup over for Sierra to hold.
Sierra walked over and sat suivant to my dad and Jake
"Alright I think there should only be one more" My mom said
"Alright sweetie toi can do it, just one more" I said
Kate pushed screaming an pressing her paw hard against mine 'Wow that must be really painful for her' I thought to myself surprised par at how much force she was pressing down on my paw.
"There's the head" My mom said
Kate pushed again letting out another scream of pain
"There toi go just one plus push" My mom said
She pushed again but this time not screaming as loud
"Alright that all of them, congratulations Kate toi have donné birth to three health pups." My mom a dit as she held our third born pup
Kate was smiling but still trying to catch her breath "What are the genders?" She asked
"Well the first ones a boy" My dad a dit handing me the pup to hold.
The pup looked almost identical to me only he had a few streaks of tan fourrure along his sides.
"How about the seconde one" I asked
"It's a girl" Sierra a dit handing me my seconde born pup
I put my first son down suivant to Kate's belly so that he could drink her milk. I then picked up my first daughter from Sierra; she looked even plus like me then my first son. She had the same bluish grey fourrure as me and the same white underbelly.
"She looks just like toi Humphrey" My dad said
"I know it's like a mini me" I said, I place my daughter suivant to my first son so she could drink some lait too.
"And your third pup is a boy" My mom a dit handing me the pup.
His fourrure was a golden tan just like Kate's "Look darling he looks just like you" I a dit to Kate montrer her the pups. I put the pup down with the others.
"She does" Kate said
"So what are toi going to name them?" My mom said
"Well I think Polaris is a good name for the first boy pup, what do toi think Kate?" I said
"I think Polaris is perfect" She a dit "How about for the only daughter?"
"Humphrey Jr!" I joked
"No I told toi there can't be a Humphrey Jr. Just one Humphrey is enough" She a dit laughing "I like the name River"
"That's a great name" I said
"Okay so River is our only daughter" She said
"How about for our seconde son?" I asked
"Hmm..." She said
"How about Blaze?" My dad said
"That's perfect because of his fourrure color" I said
"Ok Blaze it is" Kate said
"Ok so Polaris and Blaze are our two sons and River is our only daughter" I said
"I think those are great names" My mom said
"Yeah, congrats toi two" Jake said
Well I don't know about toi but I'm still tired, goodnight" My dad said
Same here were heading back accueil come on honey." Jake a dit walking out of the tanière, den with Sierra right behind him
"Goodnight everyone" I a dit I turned and saw that Kate was already asleep
"Goodnight" My mom said
We all laid down in our usual spots. I laid par Kate so that the pups were in between us, I was Lost in my thoughts. 'Here we are, you're a father Humphrey' I thought to myself 'Kate was right that nightmare I had over a mois il y a was exactly that, it was only a nightmare nothing more.' And on that thought I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
I woke up to the rising sun shining in my eyes; I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my vision. I could see that the sun was just rising over the mountains. I looked suivant to me and saw Kate still sound asleep, as were the pups. They were all huddled in between Kate and I. I saw something déplacer in the corner of my eye; I turned and saw that my dad was awake and trying to get up on his legs.
"Good morning dad" I said
"Good morning son" He a dit he managed to get up on his paws and half walked and half limped over to me. "How did toi sleep?"
"Great actually" I said
"Good as did I" He said, he then looked over at my pups "Well welcome to fatherhood"
"Yeah, funny I don't fell any different" I a dit chuckling
"Oh just toi wait until they open their eyes and start to explore their new world." He a dit "Pups can be a handful at times"
"Well I'm ready for whatever challenge they throw at me" I said
"Good" He said
"So I see that toi can walk again, sort of" I a dit changing the subject
"Well my broken leg still hurts but not as much as before" He said
"Good" I a dit "You're lucky toi survived that fall"
"Yeah I sure am" He a dit "As I was falling I thought my life was over and I would never get to see my grandchildren."
"But toi did live and toi got to see the birth of your grandchildren" I said
"Yeah and they sure are beautiful aren't they?" He said
"Yeah I think all the good looks came from Kate" I said
"Maybe your right" He a dit looking at the pups
"But what I'm really excited to see is what their personalities will be like." I said
"Yeah I've never seen an Alpha mixed with and Omega personality before, this should prove interesting." He said
"I'm sure they'll be playful like me, and they'll have great hunting and leadership skills like Kate." I said
"I've also that one pup looks just like toi another one looks just like Kate and the other one look like a mix between toi and Kate." He said
"Yeah I noticed that too" I said
"Well congrats Humphrey I'm proud of you" He said
"Thanks dad" I said
"Now if toi don't mind I'm going out for a short walk" He a dit getting up on his paws and making his way out of the den.
"Okay see toi later" I said
I laid my head back down and rested my eyes waiting until either Kate ou my mom got up. About an heure ou so of waiting and being Lost in my thoughts Kate woke up.
I opened my eyes and saw that she was looking right at me. "How can I help you?" I a dit smiling
"Oh just enjoying the view" She said
"Same here" I a dit nuzzling her
She nuzzled me back and then looked down at our pups "How are our pups?" She asked
"There great and beautiful, just like us" I said
"Good" She said, she lifted her head and looked outside "Well it looks like it's going to be a great day"
"Yeah, welcome to parenthood my darling" I a dit looking out of the tanière, den too
We sat there and looked at our pups noticing what features came from me and which ones came from Kate. After a short while my dad walked back into the tanière, den from his short walk.
"How was your walk?" I asked him as he walked into the den
"It was great toi should see how beautiful this jour is, not a nuage in the sky and super clear." He said
"Yeah I can tell just from here" Kate said
"I see that mom still isn't up" He said
"Yeah maybe it's time toi wake her up so we can get this jour started." I said
He walked over and shook my mom gently telling her to get up "Time to get up" He said
"Ugh... Morning already?" My mom a dit waking up
"Yeah sleepy head" He said
She lifted up her head and looked over at Kate and I "Good morning toi two" She a dit "Sleep well?"
"Sure did, how about toi Kate?" I said
"Best sleep I've had in weeks" Kate said
"Good, so how do toi feel Kate?" My mom asked
"Great" She said
"Good" My mom said
"So what do toi two plan to do today?" My dad asked
"Well I might hunt, but I'd rather spend all jour here with Kate and my new family." I said
"I just want to spend time with Humphrey and our pups all day" Kate said
"That's fine I'll do the hunting for today Humphrey" My mom a dit "You just stay here and relax"
"Thanks mom" I said
"I think I'll just lay here and spend some time with my son and Kate" My dad said
"Okay I might go see a few Friends after I go and hunt right now." My mom said
"Okay" I said
"I'll be back after I go and hunt" My mom a dit walking out of the den
"Okay bye honey" My dad said
"Alright I'm just going to lay here with our pups" Kate said
"Yeah same here while I talk with my dad" I a dit looking over at my dad who was sitting suivant to me.
For the rest of the jour Kate, my dad and I just relaxed and chatted amongst ourselves about our new pups and I got some conseil on being a father from my dad. My mom brought us accueil a caribou before she went out to spend some time with her Friends on the other side of the park. Jake and Sierra stopped bye later in the jour and spent some time holding the new pups. Before they a dit that they were going on a pre-honeymoon before the wedding, they a dit they were going to another park named Yellowstone National Park that was just south of here. We a dit our goodbyes and wished them a sûr, sans danger journey. My mom returned late in the night after spending the afternoon and evening with her friends. We all had a late dîner before going to bed. I fell asleep suivant to Kate with our pups huddled in between the two of us. My last thought before I fell asleep was 'Welcome to parenthood'
-THE END-
Alpha and Omega was par far an Amazing film! Had amazing animations, Beautiful landscapes, and a great story line. The Movie as all of toi know what it is about but we gotta be professional about this ou do we? Well guess what i'm not going to be, so go watch the movie yourself. But seriously it is a great movie about 2 loups named Humphrey and Kate and i know toi know who voiced them and i'm lazy so go look yourself. They get captured par humans and taken to a new park in Idaho to Repopulate. Now Kate needs to marry a loup Named Garth to keep a war from happening between the their pack and another pack. So they set off on an adventure back to their pack in Jasper Park, Canada. Now if toi haven't seen this movie SEE IT! Oh 1 plus thing didn't mean to be mean in this article just intended to be funny. And since I am too lazy to make a question-
If toi were to marry anyone who would it be? (human ou wolf) Leave your creative réponses in the commentaire thingy.
