Well, another chapter.

Humphrey's POV

Though this rather passionate start to our relationship was very welcome, It dawned on me while we were bathing that no matter whether Sweets was attractive or not, she isn't my priority at all. My children our my priority, and they think that I'm a monster. A cheating, scummy, idiotic omega. Sweets was lovely, but I have to tell her the truth, so she understands.

"Sweets?"

"Yes, Humphrey?"

"I'm sorry, but, let's not go mad," her ears started to droop, "I think that you're great, but." I couldn't think of anything else. I wanted to say 'I love you' or 'I want to be with you forever' but I didn't want to, I just sort of felt more lonely than before.

"Have I done something wrong?" She hadn't, yet I just forgot what to say. Maybe part of me wanted to just be by my self, or to try to win Kate back. Sweets was close to tears and didn't want to hear anything else. She just went onto the shore and went to get dry, leaving me alone. I didn't care anymore, she was probably gone forever too. I couldn't wait to just say something to my children, so Sweets just took a side line. I don't think I'm a bad person, just one that really wanted something else. Me and Kate were perfect together until that one night. If sweets had not been there, I could of gone to my kids before Kate could reach them.

Sweets' POV

I can't describe how I'm feeling, I just can hardly breathe. He just wanted me for a one night stand when he was getting a bit lonely! But I thought he loved me, and I kind of loved him. I knew his kids would always be more important to him, but I thought I came in somewhere and that one day he would be okay and would never think about Kate or his worries ever again. I will never be anything to him, I'm still going to be alone for all my life and that stupid cow Kate still has him, under his fur she still reminds him that he was a stay at home dad and husband. I don't want him to be that, though, I want him to be a new Humphrey, or at least the fun one Kate destroyed, without the Kate bit.

Claudette's POV

That nearly destroyed me, I know my mother is lying, but she would never be that heartless just to leave Dad in the dirt. I need to find Dad, so I walked out of the den and followed his scent to a river. Just before I got through the last bush I met someone, Sweets. she looked horrible.

"Sweets, is something wrong?"

"Yes, your Dad is the best person I've ever met and it just kills me that he cares only about you three."

"What?" Is this true? Did my Dad just dump a beautiful wolf because she might distract him from us?

"He just used me for a single night and then pushed me away, I loved him and he just didn't care." Maybe Mom was right, maybe Dad is just a bastard.

"That's horrible, forget him!" But to my surprise that just made her sadder, much much sadder.

"No, he did it because he thinks you hate him. I'm not his reason for living, you're all he has now."

"That's not true at all. He still loves you, I just need to show him he can have us both to love."

"I know he still probably likes me, but love? No, he doesn't and he never will."

"Sweets, listen! We've just got to get this over with Mom and then we can all give Dad what he's always wanted - a wife who really loves him, and his kids."

She seemed to perk up a lot after that. I really hope that her and Dad can make it work, but I think Dad just lost the will to live when he thinks his children hate him, and love Mom's new boyfriend. I like Hutch, but I'm years off of calling him Dad or doing any sort of daughter-father activities together. I just smiled to Sweets, and then we saw Dad behind us, nearly in tears.

"I do love you, Sweets. That is all I want, I know I have one half of that." He put is arm around me before continuing, "Will you be the other half of that?"

I'd never seen a person so ecstatic with delight. "Yes Humphrey."

"So will you marry me then?" I couldn't believe it! I never though I'd see the day my Dad proposed to a female right in front of me.

"Yes, Humphrey, I guess I have to." That wasn't the response I hoped for. Dad was broken by that, 'I guess I have to'?

"I'm just kidding, Humphrey! Of course I'll marry you!" I had never seen my dad so giddy.

"We've just got to sort out Kathrine, then." My dad added.

So that was the fourth chapter of 'The Problem'. Tell me what you liked and what you didn't like. PM me with any suggestions.

I hope this flurry of Chapters will excuse any slowness to further chapters.
