Kate's POV

I felt myself wake up after another goodnight's sleep, arm wrapped around my lover from when I rolled over to cuddle him after having sex. I nuzzled myself into his neck and then fell asleep quickly, now that I was awake I found myself in that same position. I smiled as I inhaled through my nose, taking in the sweet scent and then giving my lover a soft kiss on the cheek. Rick sighed through his nose as he continued to sleep. I raised my head from out of the pillow and looked down at the cute sight before me. I giggled and then gave his cheek a small lick. I really had to pee sadly so I turned over and lifted the covers off myself. I sat up and got out of the bed carefully, being as careful as I could to not wake Rick. instead of putting my jeans on from yesterday though I went in my bag to grab some sweatpants I packed. I picked out a pair as well as a comfy long sleeve which as always I rolled up to my elbows. I ran my hands through my hair real quick to fix it a bit and then stood up on my feet. Before I left the room however I wanted to see how much it had snowed. Slowly I pulled the curtain back a bit, being careful to not shine the light on the bed and sure enough it was snowing hard, the ground was completely covered, and it already looked as though we had a foot or two. I smiled at the sight, I always loved the snow, so getting this before the spring came was exciting to me. I only wish that it snowed more around Christmas.

I shut the curtain and then turned around to walk out of the room, stopping once I had the door open to remember to grab my tooth brush out of the bag as well. I snatched it up and then stepped out into the hall, shutting the door quietly and then making my way to the bathroom. I couldn't help but notice that someone was brewing coffee. I could smell it all the way from here, it must have been Delores. Rick did tell me she liked her coffee as much as me, but I only drank it because of how early I had to wake up for school, you wouldn't catch me drinking coffee on any day that I woke up myself. As I entered the doorway I turned to my right to glance into Angel's room, it was weird not having her here, kind of sad too. I hope she and Shaky were having a good time. I stepped into the bathroom and shut the door after turning the light on. I placed my toothbrush on the counter and then sat on the toilet to pee. As I did my thing I pulled out my phone to check what was up, see if I had texts, or any other notifications. I didn't have any texts but I did have the usual alerts that I always got from my apps, nothing too important. I used a piece of toilet paper to wipe myself and then stood up after grabbing my pants. Once I was situated I brushed my teeth and then left the bathroom. Going back into Rick's room I saw that he was still asleep. I tossed my toothbrush in the bag again and then left. I guess I should go and say hi, I felt obligated since I didn't really say anything last night.

I walked down the stairs to see that there was nobody in the living room, but turning the corner I saw Delores sitting at the table by herself with a cup of coffee as she did whatever on her phone. She must have heard my footsteps because she looked up and smiled.

"Hey Kate, good morning" she greeted. I walked over to the table and leaned on it.

"Hey, I wanted to say thank you for the food last night. Sorry I didn't at the time" I apologized.

"Oh don't worry, I know you wanted to spend time with Rick, is he up?" Delores asked. I shook my head in response. "Well… Rick tells me that you like coffee, would you like a cup?" she offered.

"Sure," I smiled. So much for not drinking when I wake up myself, but it was offered and I'd feel like an ass for turning it down.

"Cups are in the first cupboard on the left" she instructed.

"Okay" I said, walking into the next room which was the kitchen. I opened up the cupboard and there were all the cups as Delores said. I grabbed one of the more simple coffee cups and filled it up halfway with the remaining coffee so that I could have room for creamer. I ended up choosing the sugar cookie one which was next to the others on the door, and then poured it until it filled the cup. After stirring it with the spoon left out in front of the coffee maker I brought it back out to the dining room and took a seat where Delores was still on her phone.

"Which creamer did you choose?" she asked. I finished taking my refreshing sip and placed the cup on the table.

"Sugar cookie," I answered. She smiled in response.

"Is it good?" she asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't know this was a flavor," I said.

"Yeah, there's a lot of stuff at the stores that you can't get at other places," Delores said. I nodded because I wasn't sure how to respond, resulting in awkward silence. "I'll be making stew tonight. Is that okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, the last one was so good, I couldn't wait to have it again" I smiled.

"Glad you liked it" Delores laughed, and that was it. It was now silent again. She then took a deep breath and turned to me. "Kate, I wanted to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me okay?" she said. My ears raised as I felt myself grow nervous. This couldn't be good.

"Alright" I said nervously. Delores looked away momentarily before looking back at me.

"So… I cant help but notice that you and my son are… having sex… a lot, I can smell it on you and I heard you two last night" she explained. I felt my eyes widen as my heart and ears dropped. I started to panic inside, I hope she wasn't mad at me. What should I say? This is what happens when you let the horny take over.

"I-I-I… I'm so sorry I-"I started but I was cut off by her laughing again.

"Kate it's fine really, this is just what couples do, and the fact that it's so often is a really good thing. That means he's interested, he loves you, he wants to take care of you. Going off of how long it went on last night, it seems more like that than him just constantly wanting to do it" she explained. How long it went? It only went on for about fifteen minutes, she made it sound like it was hours. Where was she going with this?

"Yeah, he always takes care of me, he's such a… gentleman, he always finishes after me, he'll wait as long as he needs to every time, he hasn't failed at doing it yet…" I explained awkwardly, it was weird enough having this conversation with my mom, but my boyfriend's mom… this is a whole other level.

"That's good, I've said it before but I always wanted him to choose a nice girl, and he had obsessed over you for so long, believe me, he isn't ever going to disappoint you, you're the only one for him, and i'm happy about it" Delores said.

"Yeah, I feel the same way, I don't think I could ever date someone else, before he came along I never looked at a boy like that, yeah I had boyfriends, but I never kissed them, made a move on them, they were more like experiments, but with Rick I had a feeling about him from the very first second I walked into my house that day, and with Angel being his sister, it just seemed more and more like my spot, and I feel like he and everyone else in this group are family of mine" I explained. Delores smiled and nodded.

"You have no idea how happy I am to hear that," she said. She then took another sip of coffee as I continued to stare awkwardly.

"So… I hope you don't mind me skiing but… why did you bring up the sex stuff?" I asked. She put the cup down and turned to me.

"Oh yeah, sorry it wasn't to embarrass you, me and your mothers already talked about it, if you two are gonna have sex, we want it to be in the safety of your own home, so I'm glad you guys are doing it here, but with your heat going on, and I know its almost over but, are you guys using protection, I know it sucks but you don't want to get pregnant at your age" Delores said. She was right, after the scare I had I realized that I really didn't want to get pregnant.

"Well… we aren't using condoms, I don't think we would be able to use that after being spoiled with skin on skin, but I am on birth control" I explained. Again Delores nodded.

"Did you bring it with you?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's upstairs in my bag" I answered.

"Good, just please don't forget to take it, just one day is all it takes" Delores said.

"I promise, I won't forget," I replied. I took another sip of coffee as I thought to myself how impossible it would be for me to forget to take it.

"Alright, one day I can't wait for you two to give me the chance to meet my grand pups, but that's always for later" Delores smiled. I put the now half empty cup down.

"Yeah, much later" I said. We shared a short laugh before Delores spoke again.

"Did you take your meds today?" she asked. I hadn't, normally I take it when my vagina reminds me, I always get tingly down there making me remind myself that hey, you need to take your pills. What I needed to do was start taking it when I brushed my teeth.

"No, not yet," I said. Delores nodded once again.

"Better go take it now, just incase" she said.

"Alright, thanks for the coffee" I said, standing up to walk out of the room as I held the cup in one hand.

"Oh no problem, and Kate?" Delores called, making me stop to turn back.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Don't feel nervous about having sex here, just maybe try and keep it down" Delores suggested. Again I felt myself grow embarrassed, but I laughed it away.

"No promises," I said. Delores laughed as I turned and headed back upstairs. When I opened the door to Rick's room I found him still sleeping, he looked so cute as he did. I smiled at the sight and then reached into my bag to grab my box of pills. I put my cup on the nightstand and then popped a pill out before taking it. I swallowed it with a swig of coffee and then placed my cup back down on the nightstand before crawling back into bed with Rick. I didn't cuddle up to him though, I was definitely no longer tired, so for once I stayed on my side of the bed as he slept and went on my phone, seeing that I got a text from my mom.

M. Hey, have you looked outside? The ground is absolutely covered.

K. yeah, Haven't seen snow like this since we lived back in Canada.

M. aww, you remember that?

K. of course I do, sometimes I really miss it.

M. so do I, but if we hadn't moved you and your sister would have never met your boyfriends.

K. I know, totally worth it.

M. so I heard you and Rick had some fun last night.

K. oh my God, she told you?

M. yeah, but she only did because she wanted to know if you guys were using protection during your heat.

K. yeah, I already talked to her about it.

M. you did? When?

K. just now, we had a cup of coffee, when did you two talk about this?

M. earlier, nothing to be embarrassed about, we just want to make sure you two are safe is all.

K. how odd

M. don't make me laugh, how is Rick doing?

K. he's fine, he told me about what you guys talked about yesterday.

M. he's not weirded out is he?

K. no, I was just curious so I asked.

M. okay, well I'll leave the two of you alone, you are using protection right?

K. birth control.

M. alright that's fine, I'll text you later, be safe okay?

K. alright, love you.

M. love you too, bye.

After leaving the text screen between me and my mom, I decided to enter the texts between me and my friends.

K. hey guys, anyone up?

W. yeah, I am.

K. What's going on?

W. nothin, just chilling in my room, watching the snowfall outside. Glad I don't have to work today.

K. yeah, I'm with Rick right now, figured that if I'm gonna be snowed in that it should be with him.

W. are you at his place?

K. yeah, he's still sleeping though. Kind of a long night I guess.

W. good for you two, I wish I could get it on during this.

K. were doing more than just that.

S. bullshit.

W. of course you come in when it get sexual.

S. whatever, I just didn't get to my phone as fast.

W. who are you with right now Sweets?

S. at my dads, kinda got stuck here, but hey unhealthy food all week.

K. sounds fun.

S. yeah, you already know my dad makes the best food.

W. hey Kate, where's your sister. Is she home?

K. no, she's at her boyfriends too

W. wow, you guys had the right idea.

S. so you're just gonna ignore what I said, jealous much?

W. shut up dude.

I laughed as I read the texts between the two, but the question was a good one. I hope Lilly is having a good time as well as Angel, I'll text them later, it's still early. I hope they're all good though.

Angel's POV

"Come on… I can't wait for it anymore just do it" I said as I continued humping on my lover. Shaky gripped my left boob with his hand and right his other around my back as the blanket went halfway up my back. Shaky had his eyes closed as his head was thrown back, moaning into the air as I lowered my muzzle down under his neck. With just three more deep and slow thrusts we both exhaled as we hit our climax. I felt Shaky's hot cum shoot up into me rope after rope, causing me to gasp every time. I could feel his legs shake with each shot, causing me to almost lose my balance as I leaned over him. I felt his hand leave my breast as they both rested comfortably on his chest. I smiled as I continued gasping with each hot, sticky shot that I felt shoot into me. Two more ropes later and then it was down to small spurts, and then throbs. I hummed as I put my muzzle in between his neck and the soft pillow and exhaled again as I felt myself relax.

"You know what, I agree. Morning sex really is the best" Shaky said. I laughed and raised myself up to pull him out of me. I raised up my butt and felt him leave me. I moaned again once his penis tip popped out of me with that familiar wet sound, and cum spilled out of me and on to him and the bed sheets. I then crawled back on top of him and went to the same position that I was before, this time his drenched penis resting in between my ass. I hugged him as I smiled with my eyes shut, already feeling tired again.

"I've wanted to have a morning fuck ever since our last time got cut off" I said, making Shaky laugh.

"Was it what you thought it would be?" he asked. I raised my head and pressed my nose against his as we smiled back at one another.

"Yeah" I said. I puckered my lips to kiss him, he did the same and our lips met, resulting in smooth kissing which led to long tongue licks. Eventually we parted with a wet smack and I snuggled into him again.

"So I heard that Humphrey and Lilly are going at it again," Shaky said.

"Yeah, I'm happy for them, they deserve it" I said, I continued to keep my eyes shut as I spoke, I just wanted to take in the moment. Shaky then laughed again. "What?" I asked.

"I just never thought I would be able to wake up and have a girl hump me in the morning, especially a ten," Shaky said. I laughed.

"Am I a ten Shaky?" I asked jokingly.

"Eh, maybe a six," he said.

"Oh shut up" I laughed, giving his neck a kiss and then nuzzling into him again. He then sighed.

"God, I fucking love you Angel, I never thought I would feel this way about anyone" Shaky said. As corny as what he just said was, it made my heart melt.

"Anyone?" I asked.

"Anyone" he said, funny I was expecting another joke out of him.

"Hm, what is it that you love about me?" I asked.

"Well, apart from you being one of the cutest and most attractive wolves I've ever seen, you're humor is just like mine, you always come through when I need you, you always take care of your family when you get the opportunity to, and from what you told me, you can kick some serious ass if need be. And on top of all of that, you're an amazing lover" Shaky explained.

"Huh, you're too kind," I said. He laughed again making me realize.

"You know the one draw back of morning sex?" I asked him.

"What?" he replied.

"Fucking morning breath" I smiled. Shaky laughed and turned to me as best as he could, giving that my muzzle was in his neck.

"Kiss me" he teased. I laughed.

"Get the fuck away from me" I smiled. Shaky laughed again.

"Come on, just a little lick" he said.

"I will throw up on you," I joked. Shaky didn't say anything, he just puckered his lips and made kissing sounds. I laughed and then opened my eyes briefly to raise my head and kiss him again, I felt myself relax as I kissed him, my tongue getting cradled by his. I cupped his cheek with my hand as we made out, making the moment even better. We broke it finally with a wet smack and thick line of drool connecting our lips. I sighed. "I love you too," I said. Shaky laughed again.

Rick's POV

"Rick? Rick? Come on Rick wake up" I heard a soft, lovely voice whisper. I opened my eyes to be met with the most gorgeous face I had ever seen, of course it was Kate looking back at me as her soft voice guided me from my slumber. I smiled at the sight that I never dreamed that I would one day wake up to and reached out to cup her soft cheek. Kate kept the beautiful smile on her face, but closed her eyes as I reached for her, nuzzling into my hand as I rubbed my thumb on her cheek.

"Hey" I said. Kate hummed, enjoying the rubbing.

"Hey" she said seductively. I chuckled and let go of her cheek.

"What's up?" I asked, wondering why she woke me up. I hope she wasn't bored.

"You're mom, she wants you to take the waters out of the car" Kate said. I felt myself feel lazy and closed my eyes as I let out a whine.

"Oh, I forgot about the fucking waters" I moaned.

"Yeah, I would have let you sleep but she wanted it done before my car got completely buried" Kate explained. I felt her hot breath on me as she kept extremely close, she was laying on her stomach as she had presumably crawled over the bed to get to me so that she could whisper to me to wake up. I whined again causing Kate to giggle and give my cheek a lick. It felt nice. "Come on, I'll help you," she said. I whined again as I sat up, rubbing the tired out of my eyes.

"You will?" I asked. Kate sat up as well, repositioning herself so that she could actually sit.

"Well, I'll be your cheerleader, sorry but I already took a shower and I don't feel like taking another one to warm up," Kate explained. I laughed.

"You showered without me?" I joked. Kate giggled.

"Well I wouldn't have but your mom already heard us last night, I don't want her to hear us again" Kate said. I felt my heart drop.

"Huh?" I asked. Kate laughed again, revealing her adorable fangs again as she smiled.

"Come on, let's go" she said, getting up and walking out of the room. I groaned, accepted defeat, and crawled out of bed, putting on my underwear, sweatpants, and shirt, as well as a coat and boots for the outside. When I walked downstairs I saw dad sitting on the couch watching TV. I stared at him with a slight smile.

"Did you know about this?" I asked. He snickered.

"Yeah, I totally could have done it for you but fuck that" Dad said. I sighed with a smile and walked over to the front door. Along the way I peeked into the dining room to see my mom at the table on her laptop. Kate was waiting at the door for me. I walked up to her and stopped, glancing through the door outside.

"Can I even push this open?" I asked out loud, realizing that the snow was up to the door.

"I believe you can push it open," Kate said. The door itself was already open, it was the screen door that could only open by pushing it. Even though it was closed, I could feel the cold air outside. I pushed on the handle as well as the door, it wouldn't budge. I pushed again, this time spreading my legs out, finally it moved and I was able to open it just enough to slide out. Some snow ended up getting in, making Kate step back as she crossed her arms. I took a step outside and sank into the snow as it went up to my ankles. I walked over to the edge and stopped.

"Problem?" Kate called out. I turned back to her.

"I can't see the stairs," I said. Kate smiled and shrugged. I sighed again and grabbed onto the railing, shimmering near the edge until my foot dropped each time. Yes there was a slight outline to each step, but what I meant was that I couldn't see the bottom of each step. All was good though as I eventually made it down and over to Kate's car which she had already unlocked. I popped the trunk open and there were the three packs of water. I grabbed the first one and made my way back through the deep snow. It was so deep and hard to move, the hard wind blowing snow into my eyes making me squint. My clothes seemed to freeze instantly, sticking to me as I struggled to get to my destination. Kate was definitely right about wanting to take a hot shower after this, and I had only been out here for one minute. Once I got to the front door Kate stepped out and reached.

"I got it" she said. I placed the pack in her hand and she disappeared inside. I ended up grabbing the other two at once, placing them on the ground momentarily to shut the trunk. Once I did Kate's car made the noise indicating that she locked it again. I picked the two packs up and walked back inside. Once I got near the door though Kate stepped out again, grabbing the top pack and stepping inside. "Fuck it's cold out there" she breathed as she placed the pack on top of the other one that she brought in.

"At least you didn't have to go out there" I replied as I kicked the door shut. I then placed the pack on the floor to kick my boots off, I then brought the pack to the fridge and opened it, placing the water bottles inside. As I did Kate laughed. "What?" I asked.

"I told you that you should have done that yesterday," she teased.

"Well I was lazy" I said back. I heard Kate laugh again as I put the rest of the waters in the fridge.

"I'll be upstairs" Kate said, passing me and heading into the dining room. I didn't respond, I just kept putting waters in the fridge. Once I was done I stepped into the dining room and stared at my mother.

"Stew smells nice" I said, I had noticed the smell of it cooking when I woke up but didn't really acknowledge it until now.

"Yeah, should be done around seven or so," mom replied. I nodded and headed into the living room and up the stairs. Stepping into my room I saw Kate laying on the bed on her phone. She looked up from it and then went back to doing whatever.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah" I laughed. I took off my coat and hung it up. "So I'm gonna take my morning piss, brush my teeth, and take a shower. Want to join me?" I asked. Again Kate looked away from her phone and over at me, this time with a smile.

"In the shower?" she asked.

"You liked it so much the first time" I answered. Kate giggled.

"Yeah, I would. But your parents would hear us, I'm not trying to get caught again" Kate said. Again I felt fear rise.

"What did they hear us last night?" I asked, knowing the answer but not wanting it to be true.

"Yeah, last night" Kate said. I shook my head.

"Tell me how you found out after I shower" I said.

"Okay" Kate replied. I turned around and went straight to the bathroom. The shower felt so good on me, after being outside for that short amount of time, it was still great to warm up. As I entered my room again I began grabbing my clothes to wear starting with underwear. Kate again looked at me from her phone. "Ohhh, nice view," she complimented.

"Don't get too excited" I said, putting them on and making Kate laugh. Once I was dressed up in sweatpants and a T-shirt, I laid on the bed with Kate. "So what happened?" I asked.

"Basically, your mom heard us last night and wanted to know if I was on birth control," Kate explained.

"You did bring it right?" I asked. Kate giggled.

"Of course I did," she said, giving me a wet peck on the lips.

"Good, is that all?" I asked.

"That's all" Kate replied. I sighed and laid down on the bed fully, looking up at the ceiling as I got lost in thought. It made sense that we were heard last night, and looking at how the snow is going, and still going, were gonna be here awhile, Kate's still in heat, and that mean I'm gonna have to continue to help her with it, not that I'm complaining, I just don't wanna get caught… again. It's hard though, especially when you get lost in it like we do. Last night was a great example of our love sessions. We were under the covers and I was making love to her. The blankets went up to my shoulders as I sucked at Kate's neck and she panted into the air with her eyes shut blissfully, moaning every time I poked at her core, thrusting into her hot wet depths. Due to the heat being high because of the snow, we were sweating even more than usual. Kate's inner thighs practically gave me a drenched hug as I slid in and out of her with ease. Her tight pussy gripping me with every pulse, making me pre cum as she continued to moan, bringing me closer to my climax. I felt her soft hands grip my back as she neared hers as well.

"Ah, Rick, do it. Cum in me, cum in me, make me yours" she moaned. I continued to play with her ear as I thrusted one last time, I shot all of my ropes within her, grunting each time in glorious pleasure. Kate gasped with each long shot, making her cum and having our liquids battle, pushing each others back until eventually we had no more to give. We pressed our mouths against one another's, and simply panted hot breath as we tried so desperately to catch it. Her cold nose pressed against mine, making me again realize how small it was. I closed my mouth, guiding Kate's as well to close it into a wet kiss which started with just lips, and then long, slimy tongue licks. Each long lick coating my tongue in her saliva which tasted just as sweet as I remembered it. Sweat dripped down our foreheads and down our bodies as we trembled, kissing each other with such love and passion as the drenched fur on our bodies melted perfectly together. As much as it killed me we eventually broke apart. Kate nuzzled into me, I nuzzled back with a smile, and then gave her a kiss on her drenched lips. She hummed as I pecked her, I then pulled out of her with a wet pop and rolled over.

"I love you" I said, hugging her sweaty body and snuggling into her neck. Kate giggled and opened her eyes, looking over at the bedside lamp, knowing that she was going to be the one to have to turn it off, but something else caught her eye. She reached over and instead of turning off the lamp, grabbed the picture of all of us at the boardwalk that night. She held it in front of herself and smiled. I smiled as well, only partially seeing it with one eye as the other half of my face was still nuzzled in between her and the drenched pillow.

"I love you too Rick… I'm so glad we're a thing, not just us but… all of us" Kate explained, even though it wasn't the best. I looked at the picture with her, what an amazing night that was, the games, the rides, but most of all, the first kiss between us. Crazy to think that this picture was taken just moments after our first kiss. I loved that picture so much, it meant the world to me.

"Where did you put yours?" I asked, remembering that I got everyone one of these for Christmas.

"You know this, I put it on my nightstand like you," Kate replied. I nodded as best as I could and continued studying the picture with my lover. Kate brushed her hand across it and then gave it a kiss. "I love you guys," she said. She then reached over and put it back on the nightstand, shutting the light off afterwards. Once she rested back into bed with me she yawned, it was adorable.

"Good night Kate" I said.

"Sweet dreams Rick," Kate replied tiredly. After nuzzling into each other again, we fell asleep shortly after. As I did though I began thinking about what happened at her house, as I was thinking about it right now.

I looked over at Kate to see what she was doing on her phone. It seemed as though she was just messaging her friends. I smiled and brushed my hand against Kate's ear. She giggled and nuzzled it, making my heart flutter as it often did around her. Your mom is crazy, I thought in a good way. When we pulled up to Kate's house we entered and Kate told me that she was gonna go grab some things.

"I still don't understand why you wanted me to come in," I said. Shaky and Angel stayed in the car and that was fine, but Kate insisted that I come in.

"Well, my mom wanted to talk to you," Kate said. My heart dropped, she wanted to talk to me? I wasn't scared of her, we always had a decent relationship thanks to my mother and her being friends, but since I started dating Kate, I couldn't help but feel nervous around her, almost as if I was doing something wrong. I guess I just didn't want to mess up anything. "She should be in the living room," Kate told me, snapping me out of my thoughts. And then just like that Kate went upstairs. Luckily you could see the living room from the front door, Eve wasn't in there though. I walked down the hall and into the room but there was nothing. However, getting a glimpse outside let me see that Lilly was standing on the back porch. I stepped outside to greet her, the door doing half of the work for me once the noise of it opening caught her attention.

"Oh hey Rick" she smiled, giving me a hug once I got close enough.

"Hey Lills" I said, hugging her back, once we broke it I stared into her eyes to ask "hey where's your mom at?"

"Over there" Lilly pointed, they were down by the shed cleaning up certain things, or maybe reorganizing it, I couldn't tell from where I was. "They're just cleaning out the shed before the storm hits, why they chose today to do it is anyone's guess" Lilly explained.

"Thanks" I said, patting her shoulder and making my way down the porch steps. Lilly went back to how she was standing before as I walked across the yard to meet with Eve. As I approached her I only got even more nervous until I was almost right behind her. "Hey" I said, causing her to turn around. "Kate says you wanted to talk to me," I said. I was shocked though when Eve threw her arms around me and hugged me tight.

"Oh there he is! You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that since I heard" Eve cheered.

"Heard… what?" I asked, trying to gasp for air. Winston simply looked over and smiled. Eve let go, making me gasp. She laughed and apologized.

"Sorry, about what you did to Lyle, after I heard that he touched my daughter's, I was told that you messed him up… bad… he's in the hospital, you put someone in the hospital for my daughters" Eve explained, again catching me off guard.

"I didn't mean to" I said but that only seemed to excite her further.

"And that's exactly it, you know Rick I always thought you were a good fit for my daughter but wow, you just keep on surprising me" Eve said.

"Kate can take care of herself though, she doesn't need me to babysit her" I said.

"Oh that's not what I was trying to say, I know my Kate can fight, remember when she broke that girl's arm?" Eve said laughing. "Ah, I bought her an ice cream that day," she added. Huh? She bought her a fucking ice cream for that?

"So why am I-"

"It's just a matter of fitting in Rick, we love you here, not just Kate, everyone, and I can't wait for you two to marry one day" Eve said, now my heart really dropped, was this?...

"Consider it my blessing" Winston chimed in. my eyes widened.

"I know it won't be for awhile, but I think it's important for you and Humphrey to know" Eve said.

"H-Humphrey knows?" I asked, barely being able to speak.

"Aw look at him, he looks like he's ready to faint. No not yet, but he will promise not to spoil it?" Eve asked. I pretended to zip my lips shut, Eve smiled and then I heard Kate call from behind me, causing me to turn around.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad" she called, she was holding a duffle bag around her slim body. I guess she really was quick.

"Hi baby" Eve called back.

"You ready to go Rick?" Kate called.

"Yeah, I'll be right there" I replied. I went to go over to her but Eve stopped me.

"You do want to marry her one day right?" Eve asked. I turned around and smiled. I really couldn't believe that this was happening, and right now of all times, how random. I guess if Kate asks what we talked about I'll just say that Eve was ecstatic about the cop I beat up. What a trip.

"More than anything" I replied. Eve smiled and came over to me giving me another hug, a proper hug, this time I hugged back instead of fighting for my life.

"Thank you Rick," Eve said. I chuckled, feeling happier than ever,

"Thank you Eve," I replied.

Author's note- so we're done with another arc, I just want to say that I'm so sorry that it's been a week since my last upload, I've just been working so much but I'm glad I was able to get something out. I just don't want anyone thinking that I abandoned the story, that is the last thing I will do, trust me. I also want to thank everyone for not only making it this far, but reading, commenting, and supporting me through all of this. This is my first project and I think it's turning out great.

I also want to mention that I do these arcs in intervals of ten chapters, if I have to extend these I will but just know that that's why I call them arcs, I just manage to fit them in ten chapters and so far it's worked out perfectly. But if I need to shorten or make them longer I will, there's just one huge rule I want to follow, NO FILLER. Everything matters, and has a purpose, even if it's to show a couple interacting with one another for a cutesy moment like we had with this chapter.

Speaking of which as I said before Humphrey and Lilly would get their time to shine and this was it, hopefully I didn't disappoint. I'm still coming up with something for Shaky, even though there was the whole thing with him and Angel, it felt more about Angel than the two of them.

In conclusion we got some new characters coming in the next arc and i'm excited to introduce them to the story, even if one of them is long overdue, again thank you for being patient. Until next time.
