Chapter Ten

Breena

I am an Aunt, I stare down at the sleeping child in my arms it takes me a minute to realize that Seth has fallen asleep on the couch the child still in his arms. He is snoring softly and it makes me want to laugh. Ultimatly I give into temptation and let out a loud laugh. Seth snorts in his sleep and turns his face to the side which makes everyone laugh. Seth doesn't wake instead he lets out a loud snore. Brian yawns and joins Seth on the couch and soon his own head nods and he too sleeps. Snores would be more acurate I wince.

"I wonder if he could possibly be louder." I say.

"Oh, it is possible." I say which makes no one laugh but everyone blush except for me I laugh whole heartedly. "Myself not excluded of course." This makes everyone laugh. The baby stirred in my arms and I gently rock it back to sleep. "I am going to be tired in the morning if I do not get some sleep." I sit on the couch and Embry sits besides me. He holds the other child in his arms.

"Soon we will have our own children if you would like that?' He says and I grin, I would like that wholeheartedly.

"Yes." I whisper back. He grins from ear to ear. I yawn and stretch one arm around him. Soon he is asleep and I am the only one awake in the house the rest of the pack has retreated to their homes. I snuggle into his arms and sleep.

I am awoken by a cry I look down at my own infent and see that it is not her but her brother. I gently remove the child from Seth's arms and put the baby girl in his place. Seth mutters something in his sleep that I can't quite hear. I gently hold the baby and sure enough it is the diaper. I change it but he still cries, I gently rock him and eventually he quiets but as soon as I stop he starts crying again. I rock him back and forth and ultematly make my way to my sister's room. The baby does not have any control of his arms or legs so I gently place him on his mother's brest. He sucks greedily for a time but eventually stops sucking and I realize that he is asleep again. My sister must be out of it to not have woken up. I gently take the little boy into my arms again, hearing his tiny snores.

I go back downstairs and see that the other children are also hungry. They stare at me with wide eyes but have the decency not to wail yet. I take two babies and go upstairs again soon they are all fed and sleeping. I really like the little devil he is already as mistivious as possible. I take him back in my arms a smile plays across his face a cheeky grin I would say if he was not even a day old. I try to make some food but fail miserably the smell of charcol wakes the others.

"Hey good looken, what you got burning?" Embry asks snaking a free arm around me.

"Breakfast." I reply. "Or at least it was. It is hard to do it one handed."

"Well then why don't we go to Sam's to remeady the situation?" Seth asks. "I bet you woke Brianna with that smell." Sure enough Brianna came downstairs a moment later.

"Good morning." She says and smiled at everyone. Seth handed her one of the babies to her.

"We need to think of names." Seth said and she nodded in agreement.

"How about Conan and Conall for the boys." Brianna said.

"Coline and Carleen for the girls."

"Perfect." They said together.

"Conan was a fierce warrior." I say and smile at the little boy. "Are you a fierce little warrior." I ask him, but he simply continues to sleep. It makes his parents laugh however.

"I agree Conan suits him." Brianna says as I knew she would. She holds his brother we leave together. We walk to Sam's and heads turn in interest.

"Why is everyone looking at us?" I ask Seth.

"The tribe knows we do something for them although they are not sure what. Also if you saw four babies you would be a bit curious."

"True I suppose." I reply, the little boy stirrs in my arms and opens those startling blue eyes that all of the youngesters seem to have. He gurgled and stetched his little arms up to settle back down. Although he still stared at me.

"Good morning." Emily greeted us smiling. "They are adorable, I don't know why Sam didn't wake me. Sam is still in bed, considering how late the pack was up last night. I would be glad to make you some food though."

"Thank you Leah, Breena means well but she can't cook near as good as you." Seth says and Emily and I both blush.

"In other words I burn the pan when I try to cook anything."

"I will go make breakfast for you." She said. We nod and sit around a table. Now all the children are awake and smiling happily. Emily brings over a pan of eggs and the little beast kept trying to knock my fork away. By the time everyone else finished and the baby was covered in eggs everyone was laughing heartily. The little baby quiverd and a wolf cub was in his place. The cub looked up at me and I gently stroked his fur, eventually he settles down and sleeps.

"He is a naughty one our son." Brianna says and smiles down at her daughter. I meanwhile pick the eggs off the wolf cub and eat them. I then roughly inhail the eggs. "Soon he will be trying to steal food from plates. Such spirit already and he isn't even two days old. Aren't you my lad."

"I am sure that the other's personalities will show in time, its not usual to have so much spirit so young."

"It is interesting." I say and hold the child gently, I want one of my own I realize. His diaper is on the ground and I pick it up and put it up on the child, well wolf cub.

"I say that we get a wolf cub around the same age as the children." Brianna says. "Luckily its the spring."

"Good idea." Seth said, "Why don't we ask the mother to come with? Do you know the wolf tongue like your brother."

"Yes, if possible I know more, he was learning how to be a wolf so he did not have much time to go to the zoo." I say although I know that he wasn't talking to me. I thought that I would never be a wolf so I might as well learn their languge. "Wish me well." I say and hand the child to Emily. I walk out the door and go into the forest howling. Soon a mother and a tiny cub comes.

"You wanted me?" She howls.

"Yes." I reply. "Do you have a pack?"

"You smell diffent from other wolves, why would you offer me membership?"

"Because, I am also a human, but my sister's children need training in the ways of the wolf."

The cub whimpers and the she wolf gently puts him down. "You may call me Cassia and the cub is Rollo."

"You will do it then?"

"Yes, as long as you help me hunt." She replies. "I have already lost one cub I don't want to lose Rollo." Rollo whimperd.

"I am going to transform now, don't be alarmed." I feel my claws become fingers and my long hair come back.

"Then it is true, I thought you were testing me with a story."

"We do have a pack though, ten strong now." I tell her. "Not including our cubs." Rollo whimpered and put his paws on my leg. I scratch him lightly and I see him kick the ground in contentment. "I will show you the house, I am sure that Brianna would be glad to give your cub milk."

"I like your accent, a bit like the northern wolves." She says.

"Thanks, do you want me to carry the cub or you?"

"You can carry him." I can tell that I am being tested. I gently take Rollo into my arms first letting him get my smell.

"How old is he."

"All of four days." She replies proudly and I grin scratching him behind the ears.

"Hello Rollo." I say and the cub howls a babish howl that doesn't really mean anything.

"Within a few weeks he will be able to howl." She licks the underside of his pelt. "Won't you my beautiful boy?"

"He is beautiful." I say.

"Wait until he imprints, he will make some lady very happy."

"So that's where it comes from."

"Yes, wolves imprint. My mate however is dead. He died protecting us from a larger pack, they also took my first born."

"I am sorry for your loss." I say and she smiles.

"No matter, its alright I am used to it." It is a curious thing I was profeciant in the wolf languge before but I understood much more now that I am a wolf.

"My pack, we communicate by thoughts. They don't know the language of the wolves."

Why didn't you say so?

You just talked in my mind.

Mommy, who is she.

She is offering us a pack sweetheart, I explained before.

Will I have playmates again?

Yes little one.

You communicate by thought?

And by howl for long distances, to relay to another pack if we are accidentally in their terrortory.

You won't have to worry about terrotory we have the run of it.

You are the potectoret pack?

Well yes pretty much.

No wonder wolves are never harmed on your terrotory, you stop harm because you are human. It is funny I go to beg for membership and it is offered freely.

You are the first true wolf to be part of the pack.

Well then that is something.

Mommy where are we going?

I am going to fallow the lady sweety, be a good boy alright.

Yes Mommy.

I walk and they fallow. I pick up my clothing on the way and put it on.

What is she doing Mommy?

She is putting on fur, humans don't have ready made fur so they make it themselves.

It feels strange under my claws Mommy.

Nearly there, I introrupt I wonder why I can still understand you.

It is because we are full wolves and fully joined to the pack. Otherwise this might have been harder. Who is your leader, who keeps the orders in their mind.

My sister has the ability to order us but Sam is our leader.

Humans are strange, she gives the orders so she is the unifical leader.

No one knows about it so I would like it if you kept it under wraps.

Alright I will.

We reach Sam's house and I open the door.

"You found them then." Sam asked and both wolves bowed.

Greetings pack leader.

Greetings.

Sam's jaw dropped in astonishment. "It is nice to meet you." He finally said.

Thank you, we do not understand the human languge but I can see your meaning in your thoughts.

Can I play with the other cubs mommy?

Go ahead, if they are not sleeping, they are only two days old.

Oh I slept a lot when I was two days old, now I am four whole days old.

Yes you are my son. Soon you will be as big as me.

I put the cub down gently and it stood on wobbly legs.

Thank you.

He continued to wobble unsteady on his pawssniffing at the unusal sights and smells.

This is strange, Mommy what is this? He stopped to look at the couch.

I don't know sweety. Maybe the humans do.

It's to sit upon.

Seems like a lot of work. I can howl listen to this Mommy.He howls loudly and nonscensically.

Keep trying my boy, you will get it.

The howl woke the other children and Conan let out his own howl.

Can we play?

Now that you have woken him you might as well. I take Conan off the couch and he stands unsteadily.

Now get your legs under you.

What do you think I am trying to do? Thank you for waking me.

No problem now lets wrestle.

They both bent their paws and soon were pounceing and tumbling. They both however soon tired and laid panting on the ground.

Fun, rest some then go again.

Agreed.

They both close their eyes and seem to fall asleep. I gently pick them both up and put them on the couch.

"Where is Brianna?" I ask Sam.

"She went to the store for diapers." Sam replies. I check on the other infents and see that they all are asleep. They look cute a mixture of wolf cubs and babies slept piled together. I look around for Embry for a minute before seeing him covered in a blanket in the corner. He was sleeping peacefully.

Is that your imprint?

Yes, his name is Embry. I go over to him and sit beside him and I too sleep.
