Jana, I need you to get on a plane to Canada immediately. Maddy's going to kill me. I'm being deadly serious Jana. I need you to rescue me. Help me, please! Rhydian X

Jana burst out laughing earning a quizzical look from Xander who had just entered their living room with two steaming cups of coffee. Jana texted back quickly.

Finally! Jana XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Jana?" Xander asked as he sat down on the sofa next to her, "What's going on?"

"Maddy wants to kill Rhydian," Jana explained grinning.

"That's a good thing?" Xander asked sceptically, "Oh, you mean she's having the babies. Wait Adrian and Cassidy are being born! Finally!"

"I know right," Jana said, reaching for her cup of coffee, "Only a month and a half late aren't they?"

"Yeah, talk about taking your time," Xander replied, "I guess we'll have to call Segolia, they said they'd arrange for us to fly out there when the babies were born."

"It's great of them to offer," Jana said, "But technically I've been asked to go on a humanitarian aid rescue mission to save Rhydian from Maddy, they can't refuse that."

Xander smiled, "Shouldn't that be wolfblood-itarian? I'm sure Rhydian will be fine, well after a few months of sleepless nights he should be fine, before that he'll probably be a zombie."

It's not funny, Jana! I swear if she could she'd wolf out right now and eat me! Rhydian X

Jana smiled, "I swear Maddy's going to make him pay for this. Come on, you ring Segolia and I'll make sure the rest of the pack knows."

BREAK_BREAK_BREAK_BREAK_BREAK_BREAK

Jana lugged her heavy bag towards the small plane that Segolia had hired for them. They were planning to be in Canada for roughly a week or so but they had already scheduled their camping holiday for the beginning of June to coincide with Jana's seventeenth birthday.

"Here, let me help you with that," Xander said, taking Jana's bag, "How much are you taking Jana?"

"Most of it is presents," Jana explained.

Xander nodded, "I should have guessed."

"It's amazing!" Shannon exclaimed, hugging Jana.

"What that the babies have finally arrived or that Rhydian is still alive?" Tom asked.

"Both I guess," Jana replied.

"Where's Ceri and Gerwyn?" Xander asked, "I thought they wouldn't miss this for the world."

"Apparently they're buying a card," Shannon replied in confusion, "I guess it's taking them a while."

"I bet Uncle Gerwyn wants to get a really insulting and vulgar one," Jana replied, "But Auntie Ceri's going to want to buy something sweet. They're probably arguing about it."

Bryn appeared suddenly, walking towards the plane with a small rucksack, Ellie following alongside him. The two of them had been dating for a couple of months now. They could still remember the day that Bryn and Ellie had told them they were couple, it had unfortunately coincided with April 1st so no one had taken them seriously until Bryn had threatened to wolf out. They couldn't believe it, they thought Bryn would be the last person to date a human, but Xander wasn't so surprised- he knew what his sister was like, that she could charm any boy she wanted.

"Sorry we're late," Ellie said, "We stopped off at Starbucks on the way. Can you believe that Bryn had never been to Starbucks before?"

"Yes," Jana replied as Bryn smiled somewhat in relief.

"I think you enjoyed that raspberry mocha more than you're letting on Bryn darling," Ellie said, putting a hand gently on his arm.

Jana rolled her eyes discretely whilst wondering what on earth had made Bryn decide to go out with her.

"Ellie," Xander said, "I'm not going to be a third wheel for the next eight hours, none of us are, so please keep the PDAs to a minimum."

"What's PDAs?" Bryn asked.

"I will if you and Jana do," Ellie answered.

"I'm surprised you got time off of school," Jana answered, "Especially this close to exams."

"It's the school holidays, Jana," Ellie replied, "It's only been a year! How can you forget that?"

"Oh yeah, my bad," Jana replied.

"Sorry, we're hear don't worry!" Gerwyn yelled as he ran towards the plane, "Are they really expected us all to fit in that?"

"You can blame Gerwyn for us being late," Ceri began angrily, "First he couldn't decide on what to pack, then he spent about two hours in the gift shop trying to find a card that said 'Welcome to Hell'."

"It's a noble and ancient tradition for all members of the Morris family to be fashionably late," Gerwyn explained, "And I'm glad to see that my descendants are starting off on the right paw, in true Morris fashion."

"Well if they are following true Morris fashion then we should all be worried," Ceri replied, "Do you remember what Rhydian was like when he was two?"

"You mean the incident with the pheasant," Gerwyn replied, "Well at least we don't need to worry about that- there aren't any pheasants in that part of Canada."

"What happened with the pheasant?" Xander asked.

"Trust me, you don't want to know," Jana replied, "I don't think my father had ever considered exiling a toddler before that point."

"Well come on then," Gerwyn announced, "Let's not keeping Adrian and Cass waiting."

BREAK_BREAK_BREAK_BREAK

Gerwyn bounced Cass up and down on his knee until she looked ready to vomit and Jana quickly took her out of her uncle's hands. Being born nearly two months late it wasn't surprising that Adrian and Cass we're big babies and they had already started devouring the meat milkshakes Jana had made at a startling rate.

Adrian gulped down the milkshake, and although he was far too young to grin, there was a sort of smirking look in his blue eyes that reminded Jana of Rhydian. It might have been the fact that he already a short tuft of white blond hair that also helped Jana see the resemblance.

Cassidy on the other hand was the far more docile of the two usually, although if she wanted something she certainly let them all know. She had large brown eyes that seemed to be searching endlessly around the room trying to take everything in.

"She's so adorable!" Jana announced for the billionth time, "They're both so adorable."

"Thanks Jana," Maddy replied from where she was curled up on the sofa, holding Adrian.

"Why did you give them such human names?" Bryn asked and he stared hungrily at the pig roasting in the oven.

"Adrian and Cassidy are lovely names Bryn." Ellie replied.

"Yeah, for human babies," Bryn complained.

"Cheer up, Bryn," Jana said, as Cassidy rested her head on her aunt's shoulder, "When you're older you can have all the Welsh named babies that you want."

Rhydian smiled, "I'm so glad you could all be here."

"Yeah, because now you don't have to change so many nappies," Gerwyn replied, handing a card to Rhydian, "It's from all of us."

Rhydian laughed as he looked at the card. Welcome to Hell was scrawled in large red letters across the front with drawings of little devils with tridents and pictures of his children glued where the heads of the devils should be. In the background there was a large fire.

"Gerwyn!" Ceri replied in horror, "Maddy and Rhydian aren't going to want to put that up on the mantel piece, are they? Here, here's the nice card we've all signed."

Ceri passed Maddy a pink envelope, which she tore open to reveal a large card with two golden brown teddy bears in baby grows, holding their own little teddy bears.

"That's so sweet of you," Maddy said, "Thank you so much."

"Yeah, thanks guys," Rhydian added, "Come here, Jana, I think Cassidy wants to rest for a bit."

Jana reluctantly passed Cassidy to Rhydian, "But she's too excited to sleep."

"She's already asleep, Jana," Rhydian said, "Don't worry, you'll get to spend more time with her later."

"So how's Stoneybridge?" Maddy asked.

"Same as usual," Shannon replied, "Dr Whitewood and Mr Jeffries are now officially dating."

"And Jimi won the young entrepreneur of Northumbria award," Tom added, "Not that it wasn't completely foreseeable."

"Segolia's pretty much the same as usual," Jana replied, "Josh, Mary and Leanne have all settled in well, although given their new posts we don't really seem them a lot anymore. We've had a few incidences with some wolfblood conspiracy theorists- honestly, I have to you the flat earth one, it's hilarious. How's Canada?"

"Cold," Rhydian said, "It snows almost every day still."

"You wait until the little devils are old enough to walk," Gerwyn replied, "They'll be bringing snow into the house, constantly asking you to build snowmen, building igloos."

"What's an igg-glue?" Jana asked.

"It's a house people live in when they live somewhere very cold," Shannon explained.

"So why don't you live in an igg-glue?" Jana asked Rhydian, "Come to think of it, why doesn't the pack live in igg-glues, Wales can be very cold in the winter."

"Don't worry about it," Rhydian replied dismissively.

"Well I think it's presents time," Jana announced, grabbing- or rather dragging- her bag, and sitting down on one of the sofas."

"Jana, how much did you-?" Rhydian asked in shock.

"I didn't want you to end up being poor so I bought you a few things," Jana replied.

"If this is a few, I'm scared to wonder what many is," Tom replied.

"Here," Jana said, passing a present wrapped in yellow teddy bear wrapping paper to Rhydian, "They're going to love this one."

Rhydian could tell there was some soft inside of the wrapping paper and slowly tore into it, as he removed more of the paper he could see that there were two soft toys and he smiled as he saw that they were two little stuffed wolves, much like Jana's own. One of them was a dark brown colour, the other had soft golden fur.

"Jana, thank you so much," Rhydian replied, "They'll love them."

Jana beamed, "I'm sure they will, now come on- there's on thirty-seven- no wait, thirty-eight- more presents to unwrap."
