At the birth…

Once Zack was born, he was healthy and strong –which wasn't the same case for Maddy.

Maddy found the birth extremely difficult, more difficult than most mothers.

Maddy was holding her son for the first time,

"He's so cute, I'm so happy" Rhydian stated while sitting on the hospital bed next to Maddy, watching their new born in Maddy's arms, "And proud of you, it was horrible for me to see you in that much pain so I can't even imagine how you must have actually felt Mads… Mads?" he waited for an answer and when he didn't get one, he glanced up at Maddy and saw her sweating yet shivering and struggling to keep her eyes open. She was about to pass out.

After a while of waiting outside and asking doctors what the hell was going on Rhydian finally got an answer.

"Maddy has a Haemorrhage," the doctor stated calmly. But Rhydian was not care, he was far from calm!

"WHAT!? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? JUST TELL ME WHATS HAPPENED!"

"Ok Mr Morris, please calm down, I will explain… Unfortunately, Maddys lost a lot of blood which is due to a thing called a haemorrhage, if she doesn't improve soon she may need special treatment." The doctor explained.

"Ok but what special treatment are we talking about?" He asked, "Will she umm…? Will she… I mean she isn't going to… d…die is she?" Rhydian stumbled; worry for his mate filled him to the top.

"In the worst case scenario, Maddy could die. But we're not gonna let that happen. And treatment may include an operation if she doesn't improve in the next two days."

The two days passed and Maddy improved greatly, she was allowed to go home after another two days. The whole pack and Maddy parents had been visiting and where all excited for Maddy and baby Zack to come home now that she was all better, though she did give Rhydian a real fright!

It had been over 3 months since Maddy and Rhydian had their baby, Zackery -Zack for short- and things had returned to normal - well as normal as a Wolfblood family with a 3 month old cub can get -

As Maddy sat on the sofa, she laughed as Rhydian bundled through the door with a nappy bag thrown over his back, 3 shopping bags tangled around his arms, a baby blue blanket around his neck and a push chair with his beautiful son giggling while trying to reach up to his dad.

Rhydian was flustered. Maddy went to the push chair and picked up her son. Zack had bright blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes like Rhydian's but had Maddy's pretty nose and same cute giggle and you could tell that he would grow to have Maddy's personality.

Rhydian dropped everything in his arms and sat down next to Maddy while she was bouncing Zack on her lap and he was laughing away.

"You okay?" Maddy asked

"Yeah but next time I have to go shopping you are looking after the little terror," Rhydian replied while tickling his son. He then went to kiss Maddy. They shared along passionate kiss and only stopped because there was a knock at the door. Maddy answered it with Zack in her arms while Rhydian put the shopping bags on the kitchen table.

It was tom, Shannon and Jana at the door, they brought food.

They all ate then played games with Zack then all fell asleep- Maddy practically lying on top of Rhydian with Zack cradled in her arms. Shannon with her head resting on toms shoulder and Jana on her own on the floor. Maddy woke for a second and glanced towards Jana, on her own.

Hmmmmm, I think it's about time I did some match making. Maddy thought to herself.

Because however bigger their families got, they would always be a pack.
