A/N: I interrupt this story to bring you a segment called "Me Flaming annoying Reviewers" and today it will be two of them. They are:

Neo Mog-317 who wrote: (this is liek too long. i only read this chappy): Thank you for telling me it was too long, I seriously did not know that now do me a favor and don't do that again. I don't like stupid reviews especially ones that are in the chat room because they make no sense and should stay in the chat room. Now I plan on putting you on my ignore list.

TsarminaWildcat, who wrote, (...i didnt read, so i wouldnt know. heeheehee...heehee...hee...LOL!): Wahahahahaha, hahahaha, haha, hehe you are a riot don't ever change. Seriously what the hell are you talking about? If you did not read then why review. The point of reviewing is to tell the author his or her problems with the story or what you think about it. You don't tell the author you did not read and laugh like an idiot. Thank you very much.

I now return you to the story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the same day that Strider had rescued Alma, far to the south the blizzard that Strider in the gang had been in earlier was leaving Tanner's group stranded in the tents. It did not matter to Tanner though because Midnight was in labor and soon a new heir would be born.

Midnight lay on some soft pillows while a midwife stoat stood over her to let her know everything would be alright.

Tanner sat in a nearby corner cheering her on. "Come on Midnight, you're almost there," he kept saying.

Midnight just kept pushing and crying hoping that everything would be over soon. She had never experienced pain like this before.

Finally after many minutes of pushing a baby was born. The midwife took the young cub and put it in a blanket to clean and warm it.

"Let me see my son," said Tanner.

"I'm afraid it is not a boy, Tanner. It is a girl," said the midwife.

Tanner stood up in anger and stared at the new life. He noticed that it was all black like her mother only smaller. Tanner would have been happy but only if it was a boy.

"How could you sire me a female Midnight, females are not meant to lead a hoard that was once led by me. I say we kill her and try again," said Tanner as he angrily brought out his sword.

"No Tanner don't," said Midnight who was actually pushing again.

"Oh I will kill her, and if you give me a female again I will kill her and kill you," said Tanner as he raised his dagger.

"But sir, another one is about to be born, perhaps it will be a male," said the midwife.

Tanner looked at Midnight who was pushing again. He smiled happily. "Yes Midnight, bring my son into the world. If it is another girl though she will be killed just like this one will be," said Tanner.

Midnight looked worried but she continued to push until finally another crying cub entered the world which the midwife immediately picked up and cleaned.

"Well is it a boy or not?" asked Tanner excited and angry at the same time.

"You are in luck, this one is a boy," said the midwife.

Tanner jumped for joy and then dropped the female cub on the ground and grabbed his son. The female cub landed hard on the ground and began to cry. The midwife picked her up and gave her to Midnight. Tanner did not even notice, he was too busy with his son.

"I will call you Savage and I will teach you how to lead the group and kill those who do not obey you," said Tanner happily.

The cub wasn't even listening to him; he had fallen asleep and was sucking on his tiny thumb.

"May I have him now?" asked Midnight.

Tanner then turned to her and stared angrily at the female cub.

"Only if we trade, I am going to kill that female by leaving her out in the snow to die," said Tanner.

"No you can't do that," said Midnight trying to hide the cub from him.

"I am the father, I can do whatever I want," said Tanner who looked as if he could stab someone to death.

"Fine then, if you kill your daughter, then I will find a way to kill your son when you are not looking," said Midnight in a very serious voice.

Tanner looked at his wife in surprise, when she threatened she meant it and he knew that he was not going to win this fight.

"Fine then, here is your son and feed him well I want him to grow big and strong. As for the female, she is yours, I want nothing to do with her," said Tanner.

Midnight nodded and took Savage in her arms and he immediately began sucking.

Tanner walked out of the tent and into the blizzard. Midnight knew he was going to boast about his new son, while her daughter was just going to be ignored. Midnight looked down at her and smiled.

"I will call you Nightwing, and I will teach you how to fend for yourself and fight off enemies. You will be my daughter and no one else's and I will love and cherish you forever," said Midnight.

Nightwing gave a big yawn and snuggled up close for her mother's warmth while outside the wind howled through the freezing air.

There's that chapter for you, sorry if it was short or anything. Just so you know too, I might make a sequel to this story that will be all about Nightwing and the problems she faces when she gets older, but I am still going to think about it. That's all I have to say for now so please review and have a great day.
