Humphrey's POV

The feeling of someone shaking my shoulder woke me up from my dreams, I lifted and turned my head to see who was waking me up. I was still half asleep but Kate was wide awake next to me and by the look of her face she wasn't feeling too well. It was still dark outside making everything dim in the den.

"You feeling okay?" I asked

"No..." She replied quickly in a light sort of panic "I-I think it's time..."

"Alright just relax and breath, I'll wake up your parents" I said getting up on my paws

I silently walked over to Winston and Eve who slept on the opposite side of the den from us, I had no trouble waking them both up after saying their names.

"What is it Humphrey?" Winston asked letting out a yawn

"I think it's time" Was all I said before Eve sprang into action like she was never asleep this whole time, I followed her back over to Kate as she rested on her side looking uneasy.

"Okay, Winston I need you to take the bowl and get some water, Humphrey you stay by Kate and make sure she's comfortable" She ordered

Winston nodded his head before exiting the den with the bowl in his jaws, I sat by Kate's side me talked with her to help keep her mind off of what she was feeling. We had been told a few days ago here what would be happening during this time, my job was simply to comfort my wife while Eve would help with the pup's delivery. She had even rehearsed with Kate about what she needed to do, which was just breath and push.

"Do you feel any movement yet?" Eve asked

"A little, but nothing like you described yet" Kate answered

I picked up one of her forepaws and placed it on top of mine "Here, you can squeeze my paw to help cope with any pain you have during this" I said looking at her

She looked at me and smiled before her focused switched back to herself, I felt her squeeze my paw which meant that something was happening. "Okay now I think ones coming" She said

Winston had returned with the water which would be used to keep Kate hydrated for however long she would be in labor which had only just started. Eve sat ready to help with the first pup which came around a half hour later, I gave Kate words of encouragement and remanded her about breathing. From the way she kept squeezing my paw every now and then I could tell this wasn't the best experience for her. But she was strong and could do this, I had my faith in her and knew that once all the pups came she would have no more pain. She occasionally cried out in pain which I'm sure any nearby wolves would have heard if they were awake.

Finally the first pup came which all brought to us a relief, Eve held it up and checked it out before handing it to Winston to hold as Kate told us the next one was coming. We were still not sure how many pups we would be having but it was anywhere from two or three according to Eves guesses. Winston sat close to us with our first pup which Eve claimed to be a girl. It was tiny, able to fit in both of my paws, in the dim light I couldn't make out its fur color but it seemed to be a darker shade similar to Winston's. Kate still appeared to be doing just fine even though she was in pain, her breathing was constant and I kept doing my part in making sure she was relaxed. The next pup arrived not too long after the first, with one final push Eve picked it up and checked it just like the first one.

"It's a boy" She said before giving it to her husband to hold with the first born

"How do you feel sweetie" I asked to Kate licking her forehead

"I actually feel fine" She replied sounding normal but still breathing heavily

"I guess that's all then" Eve said while feeling along her stomach to make sure that was all of them "Yep seems like it is"

"A daughter and a son" Winston said as he placed them up to Kate's underside so they could start nursing.

"Oh Humphrey their so beautiful" She said as we watch them start to drink

"Yeah, they must have gotten it from you" I said smiling before giving her a kiss

I had a kind of odd feeling right now as I looked at my two pups sitting before me, it wasn't a bad feeling, more of a fuzzy feeling. I was excited that our family was now here and that we were both parents now, all that was left was to think of the names. Everyone sat quietly as Kate and I took in the moment before us, the pups let out a light whimper every now and then but were quiet mostly.

"What should we name them" I said looking at my mate who looked back at me

"How about Kairi and Nova" She replied pointing to who each held the name

"That's perfect" I said "I love you"

"I love you too, and now we have a beautiful family to take care of" She said

"Yeah" Was all I replied with as it got quiet again

Winston and Eve silently sat next to each other both looking happy for us as they looked at their second set of grandchildren. My mind was already trying to imagine what they really did look like since it was too dark to tell exactly what the fur color was, and the eye color wouldn't be known for a week or so. Kate and I both had been very interesting in how their personalities would be considering the pups did come from an alpha and omega. I expected it to be a half and half between both of our personalities, they could be responsible and strong but also had the omega mind set of fun and caring. But all that would have to be found out about in the coming months, for now we had two little pups to take care off.

"Is there anything else you two need?" Eve asked

"I'm doing fine mom, thank you" Kate replied happily

She smiled and nodded her head "Alright then were going to get some more sleep, you two should as well." She said

"Sounds good, see you in the morning" I replied as they headed back to where they were once asleep over an hour ago.

"She's right, it would be best to get some sleep" I agreed looking back at Kate

"Yeah after all that I'm pretty tired" She said

I laid down next to her with our two pups laying in between both of us "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked. I was still concerned about her considering I knew that the experience of labor isn't the best feeling in the world.

"I'm fine honey, really" She reassured me placing her paw on mine "Sure it did hurt a lot but as you kept telling me the result would be worth it and you were right" She finished looking down at the pups

I smiled down at them before our gazes returned to each other "You did good beautiful" I complimented before I kissed her.

She giggled slightly and thanked me as we both closed our eyes to get some quick sleep before the morning would come. We both remained in the same position wrapped around our new pups in a sort of protective manner, I was glad that everything went well and Kate was feeling fine after it all. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come because I knew a lot of wolves would come and visit after hearing that our pups were born.

It had to be late in the morning by the time I awoke, I found myself lying alone which puzzled me since I expected Kate still be lying there with our pups. The sound of people talking near me caused me to rollover and see who it was, Lilly and Garth were here taking with Kate as Lilly held and admired one of our pups.

I got up and stretched out my back before walking over to them "Morning sweetie" Kate said as I sat next to her

"Good morning, how long you been up?" I asked

"About an hour or so, Garth and Lilly arrived not too long ago after mom and dad left" She replied.

I looked at Lilly as she held a pup with dark grey fur much like mine, that was Kairi since I remember her fur being dark from last night. Nova was lying just below Kate's pups and seemed to be asleep, his fur color was interesting with tan on the top and some shades of gray along the side. I picked him up and held him so I could have a better view of him, I found it amazing how small they both were. However I know pups grew fast meaning he would be up and running around within l a few weeks' time. Kate smiled and leaned on me as I held him, both of us were in a great mood seeing our pups living and breathing before us. I looked forward to the days of getting to know them and teaching them the basics of being a wolf.

"Congrats you two, you have a beautiful family" Lilly complimented handing Kairi to Kate

"Thank you sis" She replied her next to Nova

"So how does it feel to be parents now, pretty strange huh?" Garth asked

"I'll say" I agreed getting a laugh from him

"Defiantly a unique feeling" Kate said

"You'll get used to it" He said

"Well it was great getting to see the new pups but so think we better return to ours before they cause Tony trouble" Lilly said

Kate and I shared a laugh "Yeah that would be best" I said

Lilly gave Kate a hug before they both exited the den leaving it to just my new family, we both silently sat for a bit as came familiar with our pups. Nova seemed to have a mix of the both of us due to his fur color, while Kairi looked a lot like me, white underbelly and everything. I even pointed it out to Kate who agreed saying it would be hard to tell the difference between the two of us if her eyes were the same color.

"Did you get breakfast yet?" I asked as I realized that I was pretty hungry

"Yeah dad brought me some when I woke up, you're share is over there" She replied pointing over at the den entrance

I could see a piece of meat sitting over there so I got up and picked it up and came back over to her as she laid down with the pups wrapped under her tail to keep them warm. We spent the time talking as I slowly ate my breakfast, shortly after I finished my three omegas brothers came by to see the pups. I'm sure the news had already spread across the pack like a wildfire because they weren't the only ones to come and visit us today. They said they were happy for Kate and I and wished us luck for the parenting ahead, not that it was going to be a challenge. For now all the pups would be doing is just eat and sleep, no raw food yet though of course, just milk. They also asked if I would be able to hang out later with them, I was going to turn down the offer because I wanted to spend the day with Kate but she insisted that she would be fine with the pups. I thanked her and when her friends arrived I spent a little bit talking with them before heading out to hang with Salty, Shakey, and Mooch. I had fun playing the usual games with them and it brought me to thinking of when I would be teaching my pups to play the same games. I would even teach them how to log sled, but that would only be if Kate allowed me too of course.

I headed back to Kate and the rest of the family in the afternoon too find that Lilly and Garth were back over with their pups who seemed interested in their new cousins as they laid next to my mate. Eve was back and she was checking on our pups just making sure they were healthy which she said they were perfectly fine afterword. I just sat back and just thought about my life and how much of a lucky wolf I was to have everything I had. All that remained ahead of me was to raise a family and co lead a pack with my mate, after that it was just to keep living my life to its fullest.

The first day as parents ended with all of us having a family dinner just having a good time talking and joking around. Winston said that he would help me prepare for leadership in the next few weeks which came as a relief to me because I had been sort of stressing about it. Having him help me out and give me tips would really come in handy for me since he is the currently leader. It felt good living in a family that had no problem with helping each other out, it's something every wolf wants to have in their lives. I held Kate close to me as we slept, happy that our dream of having our own family has finally come true after many months of waiting. All I could think to myself right now was "Welcome to parenthood"

A/N: Looks like the couple has two healthy pups to raise and take care of now, hopefully they won't cause any trouble once they start running around the den and exploring new things. I was going to expand this chapter out a little but decided to just have it run fast, maybe it might seem too fast but that's what tends to happen when you reach the bottom the idea jar ;).
