I watch our youngest cub watch me, he stares intently at me, matching every move I make. I wiggle my nose and he grins then changes colors from black to white and red markings.
"Beca, stop teaching him bad habits." Chloe walks over to us, our other two cubs behind her.
"It's so much fun though!" I wag my tail and Chloe lies down next to me.
"Aunt Beca!" Maya's three girls come crashing through the undergrowth and pounce on me.
"Girls, leave poor Beca alone." Maya says as she follows the girls into the opening. "Hey Beca, Chloe. Good to see you made it safely."
"Long trip with little ones." Chloe smiles and Maya nods, she grabs John by his scruff pulling him back to the group.
"Now which one has the extra… quirk?" She asks and Chloe rolls her eyes.
"Which one? Try all of them. That one there finds it amusing to match his grandfather. Nicky over there has learned how to change into at least half a dozen different animals, and Oz, the smallest mastered all that but has a certain love for changing colors." I look down at Oz and nudge him with my nose, he gives a small yawn and changes to a calico color pattern.
"You guys are going to have your hands full." Maya chuckles.
"At least it's not as hard as it was growing up for us. At least the world knows."
"Who knew we'd start such a big movement." I say and Maya smiles nodding. It's been six years since we advocated to the public that we weren't the creatures nightmares were made of. Gran was found guilty in a trial of her peers. Stone followed Edmure down to Edmure's family and is living comfortably down in the warmth with them. Frank and Star were glad to have Maya back, and felt terrible for not seeing the truth. Maya was alpha of the pack and had met Martin at a gathering of the families a few years ago, they had 4 kids, the three girls and an older son they named after Stone. Chloe and I got married two years ago, in a joint wedding with Aubrey and Stacie. I head the public figures group of Walkers, we travel a bit and explain what exactly we are, we hit a few small bumps in the road but so far have been excepted warmly. And with the arrival of our children, the Beale curse was really broken.
"Nicky stop that!" Chloe snaps, Nicky for the last week had been trying to learn how to change from a flying bird or dragon into a running wolf or horse, or vise versa. His latest attempt had him tumbling into a sleeping Frank who barely opened his eyes to push the boy away.
"Oh Chlo, its fine." I say as I walk over to her, resting my head on her shoulder.
"Mom! Aunt Stacie and Aubrey are here!" Stone comes running through the undergrowth, his tounge lolling out the side of his mouth. I look over at my children then stand up.
"Should we go introduce our monsters to the real world?"
"Stop referring to Stacie and Aubrey as monsters and maybe just maybe I'll keep certain stories of you being afraid of a spider while you were a big bad wolf hmm?"
"Not fair." I whine as Chloe brushes along my side.
"Come on dear, we shouldn't leave them waiting."

A/n: Not sure I like this ending, tell me what you think. I might do one offs of the children and the future world down the road no promises.
