Wolflet

The alarm clock sounded at 5:30, but Scarlet slept on. That was meant for others. Scarlet's time of rising earlier than the sun was long gone. Wolf turned over, gave off a snore, and rolled back over.

Until 8, the couple slept, and as the alarm sounded, Scarlet groaned and blinked open her eyes. The light hurt them now, so she slept with the curtains closed. Grumbling, she reached for her glasses and put them on, taking in her surroundings. Wolf was next to her, snoring softly. His operation on his body was now taking toll, and everyday Wolf endured arthritis throughout his body, especially his knees. They were still happy though. Everyday was a blessing, and Scarlet savored each and every one with Wolf.

"Hey. Psst. Wake up sleepyhead." Scarlet leaned over Wolf, and smiled as he leaned up, and yawned, his teeth glinting like metal. Slowly, the couple got up and rubbed each other's muscles, soothing and working all the knots out.

By the time Scarlet and Wolf entered the kitchen, it was 8:30. Michelle, Scarlet's daughter was shelling peas in the corner, and two steaming plates of food were laid out for them. For Wolf, a breakfast sandwich, filled with tomatoes, and Scarlet, a simple French styled omelette. Lucian, or Luc, Michelle's younger brother, was out overseeing the crops. Luc, unlike his alcoholic grandfather, was hardworking, and was more like Wolf than Wolf himself. Huge, tall, yet as timid as a rabbit, and as kind as one too. Michelle, however, had inherited Scarlet and her grandmother's fighting spirit, and had flaming red hair that looked like Scarlet's when she was younger. Now, only the faintest hint of red remained in Scarlet's gray hair.

"Morning mom, dad. How was your night? Did you sleep well? The doctor said that this prescription would help your insomnia, and it looked like he was right. You look great." Michelle smiled at her mother, and got up to help her into her chair. Scarlet smiled, and wrinkles appeared around her eyes.

"Thank you dear. It's so nice to have you around to help out with chores. You know, we can always help you move out into a house down the road, just like Luc did. We would be more than happy to help out with the expenses." Scarlet offered. Luc had moved out right after he was married, to a girl named Lily, who he had met at college. Imagine Scarlet's surprise when she found out that Lily was no other than her friend Emilie's daughter! It was a pleasant match, and Luc and Lily were head over heels for each other. They had moved into an old cottage down the road after they were married, and Luc came over regularly to help with chores.

Michelle, on the other hand, had not married, and stayed with Scarlet and Wolf. It was her decision, and both her parents supported her fully. Scarlet sighed and reminisced over the past. It was so long since the overthrow of Levana, yet Scarlet still had frequent nightmares about her. This had caused her insomnia, and Wolf would often find Scarlet wandering the hallways at night, clutching her metal pinky finger.

"Dad, Luc should be here soon. He can give you the reports on the fields," Michelle laid a hand on her father's shoulder. Wolf was still tall, and strong. But his knees were failing and his teeth were growing weak. The canine implants in his mouth were starting to loosen and now, Wolf could only eat very soft foods. Luckily, tomatoes cut the list.

"Alright," Wolf sighed. "The tomato plants are doing fine?" Wolf grinned sheepishly. "I don't want anything to happen to them."

"Oh, you treat the tomatoes as if they were your third child," Scarlet snapped playfully. "They are flourishing. We'll be able to keep a portion of them for winter."

Wolf showed off a toothy smile. "That's good."

A minute later, Luc came bursting through the door. Messy brown hair, and dark green eyes made up Luc's face, and his broad shoulders nearly touched the door frame. He gave a smile that seemed to light up his whole face.

"Mom, dad, I have some really great news to tell you," Luc began.

"We can keep the whole tomato harvest?" Wolf perked up and looked hopefully at his son.

"Um, no, dad. It's something better,"

Scarlet smiled. "Well, what is it?"

Luc cleared his throat. "You're going to be grandparents. Michelle, you're going to be an aunt! Lily's pregnant. She just commed me. We don't know the gender yet, but Lily's pregnancy test came back positive. I'm going to be a dad!"

Scarlet could hardly speak. She was going to be a grandmother. Same for Wolf. Only, a grandfather. They would be grandparents together, with small grandchildren around them. This was their dream, to grow old together and witness these things. Scarlet felt tears gathering in her eyes.

"Oh Luc, this is wonderful. We should have a celebration. I can make some baby outfits. We can call Emilie and her family too. This is so amazing."Scarlet pulled her whole family into an embrace. Wolf, smiling, wrapped his huge arms around the Benoit family, as they all shed tears of joy. Some for the coming of the baby, some for the future to come, and some because of a very happily ever after.
