Hey, guys! I'm still typing away for all y'all! Here's a new chapter with an...interesting twist! Just read on and you'll see it! Hope this makes up for the lack of an update so far, but I've been busy with school. See y'all next time!

Cody's POV

Lilly and I finished howling together and it was getting close to midnight, so we decided to head home. I laid her in her seat and got in the car. We drove down the trail and got on the highway after a little while. She fell asleep just after we left.

The drive home was rather quiet, the only sounds were the radio and the wind going by. The night was pretty perfect, if you ask me. Lilly was as happy as could be, and that's all that mattered to me.

After about an hour or so, we got off the highway and eventually arrived home. Lilly didn't wake up when the car stopped, so I decided to just carry her in. I quietly got out and went around to her side and got her. I gently closed the door and carried her up the stairs to our apartment and opened the door.

Alexis and Chase looked to be asleep in the living room by now. I closed the door and went down to our room and carefully laid her down on the bed. She started to stir when I did. She yawned and sleepily said "We're home already?"

I smiled and said "Yeah. You fell asleep just after we left." She smiled too and said "I was pretty tired..." I got in bed with her and said "Sounds like you still are. Why don't we got some sleep?" She nodded and said "Okay. Goodnight..."

I kissed her nose and said "Goodnight, babe." I pulled her close to me and started running my hand over her back, making her purr. She fell asleep almost instantly and I fell asleep a few minutes later.

I woke up the next morning to an odd sound in the bedroom. I opened my eyes and looked around, not knowing what it was. I sat up and looked down at Lilly and she was kinda groaning and moaning in her sleep, like she was in pain. I gently shook her awake and said "Lilly, what's the matter?"

She yawned and said "My stomach hurts a little..." I felt her cheek and it was a little warmer then normal. "Hm...You've got a little bit of a fever, but it's not that bad as far as I can tell." She nodded and said "Why don't we go to the vet? I'm sure they'd know what it is."

"Okay, love. Let me get changed and we'll go." I said, kissing her nose and getting up. She stayed in bed while I put on some clean clothes and my shoes. When I was done, she hopped down, groaning a bit, and we walked out to the living room.

Alexis was just waking up and saw us about to leave and said "Hey, guys. What's going on?" We looked at her and Lilly said "I'm not feeling too good this morning. Cody's taking me to the vet. See if they might know why." Alexis nodded and said "Okay, well I hope you feel better..."

"Thanks." Lilly said as we walked out the door and down to the car. I opened the door for her and she hopped in. I shut it and got in as well and started it. "Sure you wanna go? It may just be a cramp or something..." I asked. She nodded and said "I'm sure. I'd rather be safe then sorry..."

I smiled and said "Okay, babe. You just relax for a few minutes." She laid down and I pulled the car out of the parking lot and we headed to the vet.

Dakota's POV

I was woken up by someone talking next to me. I yawned and opened my eyes to see Alexis in the bedroom talking to Crystal. They looked at me waking up and Crystal said "Morning, babe." Alexis smiled and said "Hi, Dad!"

I sat up and sleepily said "Morning, girls...What's up?" Alexis blushed and said "Mom and I were talking...about heat." I looked at her and said "Why? Are you in heat right now?" Crystal nodded and said "Yeah, she is..."

"Oh...Well, it's alright. Don't worry about it. It's only temporary." I said, stretching out. Alexis weakly smiled and said "That's what Mom said. I'm not worried about it, I'm just...I don't know what it is..."

Crystal giggled and said "I told you already, your body wants sex." Alexis blushed madly and said "Mom! Dad's right there!" I shrugged and said "So? I'm not supposed to know?" She blushed a little more and said "I didn't mean that..."

I laughed and said "It's okay. I was just messing with you." She nodded and said "Okay...Oh, Grandma and Grandpa went to the vet this morning. Apperantly she wasn't feeling well." I nodded and said "Okay, thanks for letting us know."

"No problem. I'm gonna lay down for a bit." She said, turning around and walking out to the living room. I looked at Crystal and said "So, what're we gonna do about her?"

"What do you mean?" she asked. "You know, she's in heat...How should we deal with it?" I asked.

"I think it's best to just let it pass. It'll be over soon enough." she said. I nodded and said "Okay. I was thinking the same-" "ALEXIS! WHAT THE HELL?" We heard Chase yell. A second later, he came running into the room, shaking like crazy.

"Chase? What's wrong?" Crystal asked, worried something happened. He was just stammering, trying to say something. We walked over to him and I said "Calm down...Take a deep breath and tell us."

He took a few breaths to calm down more and said "A-Alexis...she...she..." "She what?" Crystal asked. He gestured with his head to his wolfhood, still scared. Crystal gasped and said "I'll be right back." She walked out of the room, leaving me to talk to Chase.

"Buddy, what happened? You need to tell me, okay?" I said in a caring voice. He calmed down a little more and said "When I woke up, she was...sniffing me!" I sighed and said "You can't be mad at her right now. She's in heat. She probably couldn't control it."

He nodded and said "Okay, Dad. I didn't know..." I weakly smiled and said "It's okay. Mom's gonna talk to her right now. Just calm down and relax, okay?" He nodded and laid his head down, trying to forget about it.

Crystal's POV

Chase came running into the room and said Alexis was sniffing his wolfhood. I knew it was because she was in heat, but still needed to talk to her about it. I went out to the living room while Dakota talked to Chase.

Alexis was laying on the floor, crying into her paws like there was no tommorow. I went over to her and said "Alexis, honey?" She looked up at me, tears flowing down her cheek. I hugged her and said "It's okay. I know what happened. Can you talk to me?"

She sniffed and sat up and said "I'm sorry, Mom! I didn't even know what I was doing! It's like something was controlling me!" I put my forelegs around her and said "Shh...I know, I know. It's not your fault..." She started crying into my shoulder, making me feel bad for her.

I pulled her away a little and said "Look at me..." She looked up at me and I said "Nobody is mad at you. Chase might be shocked and embarassed, but he'll forgive you. You've got to tell yourself no when something like that happens."

"I tried, but couldn't. My mind was screaming to stop, but I couldn't!" she said. I nodded and said "I know you couldn't. Calm down..." She put her head on my shoulder and I started rubbing her back, hoping to calm her down a little.

She kept crying on my shoulder until she was quiet. I looked at her and she had fallen asleep. I gently laid her down and thought "Poor baby..." I went back down the hall to the room to see Chase asleep as well. Dakota was laying down next to him, but still awake.

"Hey, babe." He said as I walked in. I smiled and said "So, he fell asleep, too?" He nodded and said "Yeah...Just a few minutes ago." I laid down in the bed and Dakota joined me. I sighed and laid my head down, feeling bad for both of them.

"Why don't you take a little nap, love? You sound tired..." He said, licking my cheek. I smiled and said "Okay. I'll see you later, babe." I closed my eyes and fell asleep after a couple minutes, thinking about what to do about Alexis.

Lilly's POV

Cody and I had been at the vet for about a half hour now. We were sitting in the exam room while Donna ran a blood test. She didn't know what was wrong either, which kinda surprised me.

"She's been gone for a while now..." I said, looking up at Cody. "Yeah, she has. Wonder what's taking so long...How're you feeling?"

"Okay, I guess. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, really." I said. He started rubbing my back, making me purr. We kept waiting for about ten more minutes until there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Cody said. The door opened and Donna walked in with a stunned look on her face. She looked at me and then the test results a couple times, making me wonder.

"So, what's wrong?" I asked, worried. She came over to me and said "It's not exactly something WRONG...Just...odd, I guess." I looked at Cody and he said "Well, what is it?"

"Lilly...You're pregnant..." She said. I just stared at her for a minute and said "Sorry, what?" She nodded and said "You're pregnant."

"How...?" I said in disbelief. How could I believe her? "I haven't had sex with a wolf since before Lupa and Dakota were born." I said. She just shrugged and said "I have no idea."

I looked up at Cody and he said "Are you completely sure?" She nodded and said "I ran the test three times." I was completely shocked! "Aren't you happy?" she asked.

I smiled widely and said "Of course I am! I'm just in shock!" Cody kissed my nose and said "You're not the only one!" I kissed him back and said "I'm pregnant!" He laughed and said "Yep, seems so!" Donna smiled and said "Congratulations, Lilly!"

"Thanks!" I said, my tail wagging like crazy. Cody started rubbing my back, making me purr, and I said "I can't belive I'm pregnant. I didn't know that could even happen!" Cody smiled and said "Me either, love. Either way, it's great!"

I nodded and Donna said "Well, I'll leave you two alone for a minute. You can leave anytime."

"Thank you so much!" I said, tail wagging. She walked out of the room, leaving us alone. I looked up at Cody and said "Can you believe I'm pregnant?"

"No, I really can't! I didn't think I could get you pregnant!" He said, laughing. I giggled and said "I didn't either! I guess it's a REALLY slim chance, then."

"You know the best part, love?" He asked. He leaned down to my ear and wispered "They're OUR pups! Not yours and another wolf's, but OURS!" A tear ran down my cheek and I said "I know! I love you so much!" He kissed me and said "I love you, too!"

He picked me up and set me on the floor and said "How about we go home and let the kids know?" I nodded and said "Okay! I'm sure they'll be thrilled!" We walked out to the front desk and the girl working there said "Donna told me what happened! Congratulations, guys!"

I smiled and said "Thanks! I never thought this would happen, least of all with Cody!" He looked at me and said "What's that supposed to mean?" I laughed and said "You know what I mean!" He smiled and said "I know, I'm just teasing you."

"So, any charge for today?" Cody asked. She shook her head and said "Nope. Donna told me not to charge you guys for today."

"Well, thanks! We're gonna head home now." he said. She nodded and said "Alright, see you Monday!" We went out to the car and got in, me still in shock. The drive home was quiet since we were both still trying to believe it.

We pulled into our parking space and got out. I looked up at Cody and said "So, think the kids will be happy?" He nodded and said "They will be, trust me." I smiled and we went upstairs to the apartment and inside, seeing Alexis asleep in the living room.
