The parents quickly got the hang of raisin their baby. By the time Lucio was a month old they could tell what he wanted simply by his cry. It helped Lucio was a rather easy baby only crying when he was hungry, needed to be changed, or wanted to be held. The parents enjoyed their time with their baby boy. Everything was prefect for them and nothing could change that.
Ludwig walked around the shop for a bit. He was planning on returning home early to surprise Feliciana and wanted to see if he could any lillies to surprise her with.
"West?" He heard a familiar voice asked and turned around to see Gilbert standing there.
"Gilbert." Ludwig hugged his brother tightly.
"It's been so long." Gilbert said. "How has you been?"
"I've been great. How's Karla?"
"She's very energetic." Gilbert laughed a bit. "How's my little nephew he's how old now?"
"He's eight months old now." Ludwig smiled at the thought of his son. "How long are you in town?"
"Ludwig." Elizabeta waved to him and walked over pushing Karla in a stroller. "Wow it's been years. Is Feliciana not with you?"
"No she's at home with Lucio." He paused for a moment. "Would you guys like to come over today?"
"I think that's a great idea." Gilbert turned to Lizzie. "What do you think?"
"I wouldn't mind and I'm sure Karla would love to meet her cousin."
"Where's Lucio? There he is!" Feliciana said to the eight month old who started laughing. "You are such a happy baby and I love it!"
Lucio kept laughing but fell over on his back. Luckily his mother caught him and she smiled at him.
"You are just too cute!" Feliciana picked him up and started kissing Lucio who kept laughing. Lucio reached his arms out and Feli hugged him.
"Feli are you there?" Ludwig asked and Feli smiled.
"I'm up here." Feliciana called to him before whispering to her baby. "Vati's home early sweetheart."
"Feli!" Gilbert greeted excitingly.
"Oh my gosh Gilbert." Feliciana hugged him excitingly. "What you doing here?"
"Lizzie and I were town where we met this guy." Gilbert wrapped his arm around Ludwig who simply rolled his eyes but still smiled. "Since it's been years we decided to hang out."
"It's so good to see you two. Would you like to sit down?" Feliciana adjusted Lucio a bit.
"Is this my nephew?" Gilbert said to the baby would started to look at him. "Hi little Lucio it's me you uncle Gilbert."
Lucio titled his head but stretched out his arms. "Aw he wants you to hold him."
"Come here little guy." Gilbert said taking the baby in his hands.
"Hi Feli." Elizabeta said walking up. "Sorry Karla was being a little fussy."
"It's alright." Feliciana said giving her a hug. "You can sit down with us."
Lizzie held Karla in her arms, who had started to get a little tired and joined the others on the couch.
"Lizzie look at our nephew." Gilbert said showing Lucio to his mate. "Isn't he the one of cutest little things in the world second only to Karla."
"He is cute." Lucio smiled at his aunt. "He even has your stray curl Feli."
Feliciana looked over at the babies stray curl. Though it was small it could still clearly been seen.
"It's a family thing both of my brothers have one." Feliciana explained stroking her hair where the curl wasn't located.
"It's like Ludwig's and Lucio's eyes." Gilbert pointed out and gestured to both of their eyes. "You know our mom also had those eyes."
"Really that is so cute." Feli beamed before turning to her mate. "I told you that his eyes would remain blue."
"I never said they wouldn't change." Ludwig defended himself. "I just said there was a chance that they would change."
"I think it's cute." Lizzie said tickling Lucio a little.
"He is the happiest baby I've ever seen." Gilbert looking at the baby.
"He's always been like that." Ludwig explained. "Even when he was a newborn. He didn't really smile but you just tell he was he happy by the way he looked with his eyes."
"But once he learned to smile he just couldn't stop." Feliciana added with a large smile.
At that moment Karla started climbing on her dad. Gilbert laughed and handed Lucio to his aunt. "Why are you jealous it's just your cousin, Karla?"
Karla didn't respond but made a face at her dad.
"Do you want to meet your aunt and uncle?" Gilbert and turned the two year old around. Karla still didn't say anything. "Sorry she can be shy around new people. She also doesn't like being held by people she doesn't know."
"Unlike this little guy he seems to love meeting new people." Elizabeta said bouncing Lucio on her leg.
"Hi Karla." Feliciana greeted the two year old. "I'm your Auntie Feli."
Karla turned around and grabbed her father.
"Why are you acting so scared?" Gilbert asked his daughter as he tried to get her off him. "Your aunt and uncle are really nice."
She still didn't move at only hugged her father tighter.
"Don't worry about it." Ludwig said to his brother.
"Hey wait a minute." Gilbert started. "Isn't tonight a full moon?"
"I believe so." Ludwig responded.
"Then how about we all got out and explore these woods. Like we used to do."
"But I'm not a lycan." Feliciana pointed out.
"You could ride on Ludwig." Lizzie suggested passing Lucio back to his mother. "It will also be easier to care for the baby that way."
"Okay I'm in?" She turned to her mate. "What do you think Ludwig?"
"It wouldn't hurt. I have missed those days with you."
"Then it's settled tonight the wolves are free."
When nightfall came the four adult with the two kids walked into the wood.
"Now Karla don't run off." Elizabeta told her daughter. "Make sure you stay near me."
"Okay Mama." the two said before she transformed along with her family. Ludwig knelt down to follow Feliciana to climb on with Lucio in her left arm.
"Please be careful with him." Ludwig asked his mate.
"Of course I will." Feliciana tightened her grip on her son who was currently asleep.
The lycans then ran off into the woods. The woods were so beautiful they were hypothesizing but Feliciana kept her focus on her baby. Running through the woods seemed to create a rocking movement as Lucio didn't stir at all.
"Feels like old time doesn't it Ludwig?" Gilbert asked as they ran.
"It does but better." Ludwig responded.
"Is Lucio alright up there?" Gilbert asked after a while when they stopped.
"He's fine." Feliciana looked at her baby who rubbed his head against his mother's shoulder as she smiled at him. "He's sleeping so soundly."
"Glad he is. Lizzie and I took Karla out when she about Lucio's age and she wouldn't stop crying. I think she was scared or something." Gilbert thought about it for a moment. "Have you taken Lucio out on a full moon before?"
"No but he has been out at night before." Ludwig explained.
"Karla don't stray off." Elizabeta said stopping the two year old from running off. "We don't want you getting hurt."
"But it look fun." Karla said as her mother picked her up and brought her back to the group.
Elizabeta put the two year old back on ground. "It is fun but you need to stay with us like I said."
"But you see me." Karla gave her mother puppy eyes.
"Yes but you still need to be with the group or else you get lost." Elizabeta rubbed her head against Karla who smiled. At that moment they heard a rustling coming from the bushes.
"I smell lycans." Gilbert said in concern.
"Could be Rouges." Elizabeta said as the group huddled together.
"Feli get off my back and run." Ludwig whispered to her.
"What I can't leave you." She whispered back.
"I'll be fine Feli. But if happened to you or Lucio I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Please."
"Okay." Feliciana carefully and quietly got off Ludwig's back "Be safe honey I love you."
"I love you too."
Feliciana ran off and shortly after she left she heard the familiar sound of Rouge lycans.
Feliciana ran as fast as she could. She held Lucio as tight as she could. Despite being, hopefully, far away she feared Rouges could come out of nowhere. She didn't want her worst fear of Lucio being hurt to come true. Hearing some rustling she looked behind her and felt something grab her.
"Let go!" She screamed out of fear trying to get out of the strangers grasps.
"Feli it's me." Feliciana turned to see her brother.
"What do you want?" Feliciana turned away from him.
"Why are you out here by yourself?" Lovino asked for once sounding concerned.
"Running away from Rouge lycans."
Lovino looked shocked at what she said. "You can come back to the tribe for a bit. When day breaks we can take you back to where you ever you live."
"Alright." Feliciana followed him quietly and soon followed him to the tribe where she saw it was much smaller but all of her surviving family sat by a fire. As they walked some people noticed her but for once she didn't get any dirty looks. She even noticed a few children with darker scales.
"Look who I ran into." Lovino said walking over to the fire.
"My baby girl." Her mother said embracing her before taking a notice of Lucio. "Is that what I think that is."
"This is your grandson, Lucio." Feliciana turned the baby so her mother could see him.
"Oh honey he's adorable. Come sit down by the fire." Her mother lead her to the fire.
"Can see your baby?" Marcello asked crawling over. "He is so cute Feli."
"I'm glad to see you Feli but why are you by yourself with your baby?" Her father asked.
"I was with my mate and his brother when some Rouges came out of nowhere. He didn't want either of us getting hurt." She looked at Lucio who opened his eyes to look at his mother. "I had no choice. I didn't want my baby getting hurt."
"Oh honey it's okay." Her mother gave her a hug. "When day come we'll bring you home. I would love to meet your mate."
"I think you would like him." Feliciana paused for a moment. "What are you guys doing out here?"
"Well our new home got attacked by those ruki or what ever they are called." Lovino looked down at his legs. "And they decided to curse us and now we cant go in the f- water."
"That's horrible. What are you going to do know?"
"We're finding a new home." Her father threw another stick into the fire. "I hope we do soon. It's been really hard to find food."
As if on cue Lucio started crying out of hunger.
"Here you go sweetie." Feliciana started feeding her baby.
After a while Felciana went to bed with her family. When morning came she ate some food for breakfast before she and her family left for her to go home.
"You guys are going to love Ludwig." Feliciana said as they walked. "He's sweet, caring, and a great father to Lucio."
"Still think you should have a choose a merman as a lover." Lovino mumbled to himself but his mother glared at him.
"I think he sounds like a great man Feli." Her mother than said. "I can't wait to meet him."
Feliciana smiled, "I hope we get home soon. Ludwig's properly worried sick."
"Oh what a shame." Feliciana's father looked under a bush. "Looks like a sort of large animal died."
"No!" Feliciana screamed running over. She saw a blond lycan lying on the ground motionless. But she knew who it was.
"Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry." Her mother said walking over.
"He can't be dead." Feliciana started crying lying on the corpse. "I can't lose him."
"It will be okay honey." Her father helped her stand up. "Do you want to come back with us?"
Feliciana nodded she had no idea what else she could do. She felt she needed to be with them now. There she stayed for a few days until she was ready to leave. But when she got back to her home it was gone and she was alone.
