The room is dimly light with the only sounds being a pained cry every few minutes followed by one of many muffled voices. Alfred watches from the doorway, not daring to enter any further. His eyes go from his mate watching diligently over the Omega lying on the bed surrounded by a group of kitsune, unable to pull himself away. Alfred wants nothing more than to be there for him yet he can feel his legs grow weaker with every second. As he rests his hand on the doorway, two strong arms warp around his waist resting comfortably on his stomach. "Come lay down, he's in good hands." Gilbert whispers, resting his chin on Alfred's shoulder, all the while knowing that his mate while exhausted is still very stubborn.

Like the Alpha expected, the Omega shakes his head. "Not until I know for sure..."

"Well then," Gilbert says pulling the younger in closer, moving his leg so it's between his lover's legs keeping both men steady on their feet. "We should get ready for the wait."

"Thanks, I think Abel's kinda pissed that I won't go lay down."

"He's just as worried as you are." Gilbert kisses his temple feeling the twins kick at his hands. "And it's not good for any of you."

"I've heard that before." Alfred whispers locking eyes with Allistor for a brief moment.

The fox watches the pair, nods than returns to his spot beside the Jackal. The tall black haired Alpha is at a loss of what to do and it's so obvious to Allistor that he has no choice but to step in. "Just hold his hand." It's soft and while he's not sure if the Jackal heard, slowly the other Alpha takes Arthur's hand. "That's it lad."

They all know the child is coming whether Arthur's ready or not so it's all he can do for the terrified couple. "Allistor..." Arthur lets out a whimper turning his head towards his older brother, his face soaked in sweat. "It still has a heartbeat right?"

"He's got a damn fine heartbeat." He moves away some of the hair matted to his brother's face, kissing Arthur's forehead tenderly. "He'll be a strong little shit." Allistor's taken back to those early nights years before when the smaller would sneak into his bed, with the same fears. "Do you want me ta say Mum's prayer?"

A tear slides down Arthur's cheek. "You remember?"

"I could never forget." He kneels down, blocking out the other muttered prayers and talk around him. It's only him and his brother, the last of the Silver snow. "Mother moon, walk with us as we journey down the path we cannot see. Guide us and protect us from the shadows that plague the darkness, evil that longs to take us from the path...and our young too pure, too innocent," he stops his voice catching in his throat.

With a pained breathe Arthur nods. "G-go on." He grits his teeth. "Too innocent to see the ah...shadows."

"For they like you light our way in this darkened world. Let them be the stars around you, and may they never fall." A smile grows on his face. "He's your star Art, he ain't gonna fall so fucking easy. He's got our blood and the bastard's." Arthur squeezes his hand so tightly it turns a ghostly white. "So push through it."

Soon the prayers are replaced by a small cry of the tiny baby. The feel of the room completely changes once the new born is in the oldest priest's hands. "Oh child it's alright." Yao warmly says to the bundle he's cleaning off in his arms. "Your mother is right here." He offers a smile handing the child over to the exhausted Omega. "He's a star and he might be your last."

Quickly Arthur takes the newborn. "I don't care if he is as long," He stops looking down at the boy's green eyes. "He's beautiful...Jason."

"Logan," Jason says holding his mate and son close. "Logan Michael Kirkland." He could have the newborn named after him and his clan but, it doesn't feel right. Even if it's his only child he's fine having it be known as one of the last instead of just another one of his kind. "You don't mind do yah Babe?"

"Not at all Love," Arthur says resting his head on his Alpha's shoulder feeling his eyelids start to drop. "It's a good name."

Seeing his brother start to fall asleep it's Allistor's cue to leave, knowing his brother and nephew are in good hands. "If yah need me, yah know where I'll be."

"Probably smoking or fucking Pork chop."

Allistor glares, making a mental note to slap the cocky man across the head later. "Get me if yah need help." He turns and walks out knowing the other is grinning ear to ear. "Little shit." He mutters to himself pulling out a cigarette. Alfred and Gilbert left as soon as Logan was named so alone from a few of the Omega kitsunes he's alone in the hallway.

"You sure you're not one of us?" One says playfully as she snakes her hand down his shoulder. "I mean the one child is so he must have gotten from someone's blood."

He watches her hand unamused. "The boy is special but that was simply from experience."

"Experience you say?" Her eyebrow rises in a hidden amusement. "Are you saying you have a way with Omegas?"

Inhaling the rich smoke he doesn't bat an eye. "Not the way you're implying. Ma'am really it's late and I have a mate and babe to get back ta." He makes a side step only to have her follow his every move. "You're a bit bold don't yah think?"

"Bold, no I'd rather say flirt." Her thin smile grows as she inches close until her wide chest is rubbing against his. "You can't be too upset, I mean let's face facts here that you share a mate so why not him share you with me?"

He rests the cigarette on his lower lip. "Yah pick now ta do this?"

"When else would I have a chance to speak with you? You and your friends have done nothing but hovered around the Omegas and litters. If you're not doing that you're speaking in hushed whispers in the shadows with Yao or the Snow Leopard." She starts to move her finger lightly up and down his arm. "All about Anya this and Anya that."

"So you've been listenin' in than have ya?"

"Oh I'm not the only one Allistor." She says with a warm hum. "We whisper here too and perhaps I know a thing or two."

He watches her unsure what to make of the robust woman before him. "And what do yah know that clearly I don't?"

"That perhaps it's time you move on from the child and pick an Omega that's better suited to your tastes." She licks her red lips as a shine appears in her black eyes. "You only picked him because he asked, he asked because he was afraid of being at the mercy of you during his heat. You took the chance and ran with it because he was your replacement for your little brother. Now you have him back, you have a daughter and you've had your fun and its time you moved up."

For a moment he doesn't say a word, looking her up and down until he moves the cigarette from his lip and blows smoke in her face. "You're a sad little hen that clearly is tryin' too hard to get an Alpha and seein' a way out you go after me. While he's younger than me, you're older than me by at least a decade tellin' me that you're little clock is tickin' away. You've spent your entire life here wonderin' when life was gonna show up and sweep yah off your fuckin' feet." His eyes narrow. "Now yah could have flustered Abel or Gilbert but like a cocky bitch yah tried to play mind games with me."

"Tried? Oh Sweetie I have yet to begin. Sure you might be a mystic but you're no Kitsune." Her eyes narrow as she hides her anger behind a smile. If he wants to play, she'll cut him to the core if she has to.

"And you're no virgin." It earns him a hard slap across the face as his cigarette goes flying. "Oh so that gets me a slap?"

"I'm a high priestess of the Mother Moon." She hisses as her face reddens, never expecting him to sink so low. "How dare you!"

He chuckles to himself as he pushes past her. "Yah could have fooled me. You're pissed fine, but just because I said somethin' you didn't think an Alpha couldn't see? Ma'am even the young ones can tell you're nothing but a common whore."

"Oh yes I'm the whore but the Omega with hmm four mates is as pure as snow. Your logic is amazing."

"And your persistence is fuckin' annoyin'." He's done talking and doesn't bother to go looking for his cigarette as he walks away.

She watches him go with a coy smile. "Stupid Alpha, like all the others but, your weakness is almost too easy...not to play with."

A/N: I'm alive it's just be a hectic week since coming home from Boston but hopefully this lovely story will be done by June? Maybe anyway
