Everyone formed into the meeting room, and Gabriel pulled me with him to the front. The five sat around me as Gabriel stood in the front. Everyone quieted as soon as they saw that he was waiting for them to stop talking.

"Alright everyone," Gabriel stated. "This is our first night in the fantastic place, and we're going to make the most of it." There were some shouts of agreement, but they soon quieted down. "We've got to get through the boring stuff first.

"Boo," Finn yelled. Gabriel shot him a glare before starting again.

"There needs to be some people working the trails, maintenance, cooking and yard work. Vivian will be taking the host positive, and we'll need some servers for the diners that happen.

"I'll help with maintenance," Bucky stated. Everyone else decided what they wanted and then yelled out. Gabriel stopped it before it got out of control.

"We'll put up a sheet for all the sign ups tomorrow. Now, before anyone gets any antsier, let's go out for a run!" The five ran out of the room first before any one got up. We all walked out after that, and Gabriel changed. I changed after him and once everyone changed, we all got into the line. I decided to stick back with the five because I wasn't officially Gabriel's mate yet. It would be ten more days before then really, and I couldn't stop the lust and joy from that thought to cloud my mind.

When I focused onto what was happening around me, Gabriel was standing right in front of me. He licked my snout and then nodded his head towards the front. I stared at him in confusion, and Willem gave me a push towards it. We walked up there, me ducking my head, together, and then Gabriel started howling. I started soon after, and then everyone joined in. We were soon running off into the woods. I decided to only go half way through, and Gabriel didn't seem to notice, so I snuck back to the inn so I could take my medicine that I was really starting to hate now. I took my portion for the night and changed into my pajamas.

Before I was able to sleep, Persia came into the room. "I see that you're still taking that," she observed. I nodded from under the covers. "You cut your run short." I nodded again. "Why?"

"I just felt like I needed to take it before I forgot, and I might have to start over the counting," I replied. She nodded in acknowledgement.

"You know that there is nothing wrong with having a pup, Vivian," she stated. I nodded. "But you chose to not have one."

"Yes," I replied, my voice small. I was starting to have doubts for some reason all together.

"Are you not sure about it anymore," she questioned. I shrugged.

"It might just be a side effect of medicine, I'm sure," I answered, trying to get rid of the feeling, but it wouldn't go away.

"You know, every mother has doubts about having a child, whether they are loup-garou or human. It's a big responsibility, but I know that you would be able to do it, Vivian. You just need to trust yourself," she informed me before walking out of the room. I tried to go to sleep again, but someone came in and laid by me then. I looked over the covers to see that Gabriel was staring at me

"Hi," I whispered.

"How are you feeling," he questioned, examining me with his eyes.

"I'm fine," I stated as I snuggled in close to him.

"Why did you stand back by the five and cut out early on the run," he questioned.

"I thought that I didn't have the right to be in front," I whispered. "And I had to take the medicine."

"Vivian," he sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "You have every right to be running besides me. No one cares that we haven't mated fully yet. They all know that you are mine as I am yours." I nodded. He got under the covers and brought me into his arms, embrassing me.

"I love you, Gabriel," I whispered licking his nose. He chuckled at that.

"I love you too, Vivian," he replied as he kissed me. I kissed him back, and it grew very passionate. I felt his hand start to come up from my shirt, and I didn't stop him at all. Gabriel's hand soon cupped my breast and he squeezed it. I gasped at the sensation that filled my body. I pulled away to nap at his neck, and he growled as I bit too hard into his shoulder. We both knew that he didn't mind. He started to raise his other hand to my lower back, and he pushed me into him. That just increased the kiss that we shared.

Before I knew it, my shirt was being pulled off, and I just dived right back to his lips that took mine with the same amount of hunger. My fingers traveled down to the hem of his shirt, and I pulled it off. Gabriel was pulling my pants off at the same time. That's where I hesitated. He seemed to notice my hesitation, and he stopped to look me in the eyes.

"Do you want to continue with this, Vivian," he questioned. I knew that no matter what the answer I gave, he would still love me for me, and nothing would change that. I just didn't know the answer to what he was asking.

All of the sudden, I got a vision of a little boy, Gabriel's hair with my eyes. I realized just how much I wanted one then, not because it was just motherly instincts, but because it would be Gabriel's and mine.

"I want you," I whispered, crashing my lips into his. We made love the first time that night.
