Family is Key: A Balto Fanfic

Family is Key is the next installment of the Series, taking place after Welcome Home. Sabir and Sayda have been excepted into the family, and Maya has started living with Duke. Tirza has been training harder than ever to be put on the team.

'So Sabir, where do you come from anyway? You haven't told us yet.' Sabir looks at Kodi and smiles. 'I'm from Belgium. In Europe. I came here on a boat when I was just a pup. I'm a timber wolf, just like Sayda. But she was born here. I was in one of the allied packs when Aleu was still alpha, and when I heard she left, I went out to find her. Sayda just tagged along because Tirza left with her mother.' Kodi looks at his new brother with a surprised look in his eyes. 'You walked almost 400 miles to find one wolf, because you like her. Now that's true love right there. I'm glad we found you.' At that moment, Dusty walks in. 'Guys, there's something I need to tell you. This is a complete surprise, but still. Kodi and I are going to be parents.'

Kodi shoots up from his bed, and Dusty looks at him. 'Something wrong?' 'No. Just had a weird dream. I'm going to see if Shadow is awake l. You just go back to sleep. You'll need it.' It has been almost 8 weeks since Dusty found out she was pregnant, and Kodi was getting nervous. What if he wasn't ready to be a father. What is he does something wrong? The fear was more than enough to keep him from getting a good night's sleep. He walks into Shadow's room, and to his surprise, he was still up. 'You should be asleep Kodiak. You have mail run tomorrow.' 'I know Shadow. I just can't sleep. I keep wondering, what if I hurt the pups?' Shadow looks at his friend and sees that he really is worried. 'Just go to sleep. You'll do fine, I know you will. And if you really need advice, I would check in with Sabir and Aleu. They both have children, remember. Or ask your father.' Kodi looks at his mentor and smiles softly. 'Thanks Shadow. Good night.' 'Night Kodi.'
