It's not fair! If they would have told me a while back that they were going to have pups i would have keep my peppy mood!!! oh sure they said that i needed to grow up any way, but i just don't under stand why they think that as soon as the pups are born I'll turn back into a little kid and be their best friend. And everyone has a mate but me. I'm all alone, is the world out to get me?! What did i do to deserve this? I was just one happy go lucky wolf before everyone decided they needed to be in love and leave me out of it. I know I'm over reacting but you try sitting around these guys and want to blow chunks. Hige and Tsume are all over each other all the time, but at lest Kiba and Larka will leave when they feel like sucking each others face off. I not saying that i don't like all this time i get to have by myself but really, i feel left out, no one pays any attention to me any more. I mean they don't even call me runt!!! Hige don't play with me and when i get sick Larka is the only one that seems to care.

Larka's really nice. She acts like a mother something. It would be really nice if she was a mother though, i wouldn't be alone or the youngest. Well I'm really not alone; it just feels that way sometimes.

Toboe had been thinking all day. It was more than likely a good thing seeing that Tsume and Hige were getting pretty steamy just a few feet away. Toboe wished that his friends would pay just a little more attention to him. being left out was starting to get old.

All of the sudden Kiba and Larka come out of the woods.

"Kiba put me down!!!!"

"No, you need to stay off your feet, you need to stay healthy and if any one gets sick stay on the other side of the river for a week." Kiba said. He was caring Larka and she wasn't very happy at the moment.

"Kiba what are you talking about?" Hige asked pulling himself off of Tsume.

"Larka's pregnant." he sat her down by a tree and had to hold her down because she tried to get up.

"Kiba you're getting on my last nerve! Let go of me this minute. It's not like I'm going into labor right now!"

Reluctantly Kiba let go of Larka, allowing her to stand up and storm off to the other side of camp. She then sat down and told the others to leave her alone for a while, that she was taking another nap.

Toboe stared at her, so he wasn't going to be the youngest any more, but what would that change now? Like Larka said she wasn't going in to labor right now.

"Tsume have you ever wanted any?" Hige asked. It was later that night and he and Tsume had left the camp for just a little while. This had been bothering Hige all day, well since they had found out that Larka was going to have pups.

"Have i ever wanted any what, Hige?" Tsume asked as he stretched out over the soft grass surface that they had stopped at.

"You know pups; little you's running around and spreading love."

"One, if they where little me's do you think they would spread love to any one other that you? and of course I've thought about it, but unless you have something to share with me i don't think it will ever happen with us." Tsume pulled Hige closer as he said this to reassure him that he was still madly in love with him.

"Oh.........but you still want pups."

"Don't get so worried over nothing. I'm sure Kiba and Larka will need as much help with their pups as possible and when that's over I'll be glad that I'm not a father."

Hige laughed at this it was funny. Then a thought came to him and made him think for a moment, "Are we raising Toboe? I mean he is still a pup, so who's raising him. Kiba and Larka isn't they will soon have their own pups to worry about."

"Yeah Toboe is still young, and he still needs some one to bring him up right."

"He's already chose you for that job, Tsume. Have you never noticed the way that he looks up to you?"

"Well i guess that's settled. We adopt Toboe, and since he looks up to me you can be the mother." an evil grin spread across Tsume's face after he finished that thought. "This means I'm on top to night"

THE NEXT DAY

Toboe was still asleep when Hige and Tsume returned the next morning. Kiba and Larka were up and talking about their future ( rolls eyes what future they're going to be parents). They had all sat down and Tsume and Hige told them their plans. It had been great shock to Kiba and Larka that they planed on adopting Toboe, but after thinking it through they saw that it was in his best interest to have parents ........even if it was Hige and Tsume.

Soon after Larka and Hige went off hunting, Kiba of course protested but Larka wouldn't listen. When they returned they had a large elk. Toboe still hadn't waked up and with food lying around they figured they should or Hige would eat what was his share (not very good parenting I'm guessing but its Hige). When Toboe did wake up he was startled to realize that Tsume had been easily shaking him. After that statement, he calmly ate his share of the elk. When he was finished Hige and Tsume sat in font of him and for a long time there was only silence.

"Toboe we have something we should tell you" Hige said after a moment.

"What? I know it can't be any where close to what Kiba and Larka told us yesterday, so go ahead." Toboe said. A thin blush spread across Hige's face. Yeah he knew that he and Tsume could never have that kind of news but all that aside this was pretty big news.

Hige took a very deep breath but before he could say any thing Tsume started. "Toboe me and Hige have decided to adopt you." Toboe's eyes grew as large as apples and his mouth dropped to where you could really have put 2 apples in it.

"You............you're going to .........adopt me? Like going to be my parents?"

"Well, yeah." was Hige's response.

"Is that alright with you?" Tsume asked.

"Well yeah. It's fine but ................ who do i call 'mommy'?" a large smile spread across his face. This was going to be great, he loved Hige and Tsume like parents already but now this would be a real family...................well as real as they could be.

With out missing a beat, Tsume grabs Hige and pushes him forward. "Call him mom, because i don't think that the normal suburban mother can send a man to the hospital within 9 min." Toboe and Hige's eyes grew wide at this thought. "I'm kidding! Trust me i never did that."

With relive in his eyes Hige embraced his new son and partner, life just keeps getting better. He thought and it was true his life just kept getting better.

A/N: i think I'm going to stop here. So every on has a family, but is every one happy. They lonely will sulk off in the next chapter. I think I'll add a new wolf in the next chapter, someone for Toboe. I have no idea where I'm going with this so you could make me change my mind at any time, just say something in your review.

Sadly i received few, (like one or two) reviews. So i see no purpose to say any thing.......... but those that did review that you very much
