"How are we going to tell him?"

"I don't know, you figure something out!"

"Scar, I have no idea how to handle this!"

She sighed. "I know, I know, I'm just stressed. I mean, we're going to have another baby, how's Bear going to feel about that?"

Wolf hugged her tight. "I'm sure he'll get used to the idea." He kissed the top of her curly hair. "We'll tell him together."

"You know, he's going to eventually ask how it happened," Scarlet told him, trying to hide her grin as Wolf stilled and paled.

"You can answer those questions, love." Wolf gave her hair another kiss.

"Momma?" Their bedroom door creaked open, revealing Bear in his dino pajamas dragging his favorite fuzzy blanket. "I had ni'mare."

Scarlet opened her arms from where she lay on her side, snuggled in Wolf's arms. Bear gave her a shy grin, revealing a row of slightly pointed teeth, and ran into her embrace. Deftly, he slipped under the covers and hugged his mother tight. She smiled at him and smoothed his curly hair.

"Might as well tell him, Ze'ev," she murmured quietly. He would hear her, and so would Bear, but that was okay.

"Tell me wha', Momma?" He peeked up at her with his big green eyes.

"You know how Aunt Winter has Juniper and Ajax?"

"Yeah. Are we gonna go play with them?"

"Not today, baby, but you're going to have a little brother or sister to play with soon." She really hoped Bear would take this well.

The room was silent except for the sound of their breathing.

"Really?" Bear asked.

"Yes, bud, really," Wolf answered, hugging Scarlet to his side, one wide hand settling on her stomach.

Just from the sound of his voice, she knew he was smiling.

"When is she getting here?" Bear sat up and started to play with one of his mother's curls.

"Around Christmas," Scarlet replied, tapping the end of his nose. "And we don't know if the baby is a girl yet."

"She's a girl," he replied confidently. "I want her to be a girl."

"Whatever you say, Bear," Wolf replied.

"Can her name be Cub? So that I'm Bear and she's Cub?"

"No!" Scarlet exclaimed.

Bear stopped twirling the curl. "Oh," he said quietly. "Can her name be Red?"

"How bout you let Daddy and I pick out her name?" Scarlet leaned up to kiss his cheek. "For now, let's all go to sleep."


Seven months later, on Christmas Eve, Bear got two little sisters: Lark Alethea Kelsey and Wren Athena Kesley.


I know, I know, it's been forever and a year since I updated, so I thought maybe some Wolflet would cheer y'all up. ;)

I'm thinking about doing a funny little Kaider AU where someone gets their wisdom teeth pulled out, and their lovely S.O. records the wacky things they say under anesthesia.

Also, did anyone notice the theme in the names? It was totally intentional, because themed names are incredibly entertaining to me.

If you see it, or you want to see the aforementioned Kaider AU, review PACK!

I'll post the answer (and the wonderful people who guessed it right) in the next chapter!

XO,

The Duchess
