Month eight started. March brought a little sun. Snow began to melt but slowly. The four women still kept charms on the werewolf to be alerted if anything went wrong. Arrum had gone to work and the Kain was now in the middle of her eight month. The nursery and nesting rooms were done. Everything was ready for the babies' arrival.
"Will you all just go. You've been cooped up in this house with me for months. All of you are married with husbands. Stop worrying about me for a few days and be gone with ou all. It's the Easter holidays be gone. I'll be fine till Arrum gets home tonight." She said telling the three older women to leave.
All protested that she was to close to be left alone for hours. "Either leave or I'll hex you all." She said. "Right then." Molly said. "Now our wands are set so all you have to do is scream we'll be back in no time." Artemis said.
"I'll scream should anything go wrong. Now be gone with the lot of you." She told them. In a matter of minutes the three were quickly gone. Each going home to a husband while Kain waited for her own.

Three days had passed and the women had been fighting to stay away from the cottage till the end of the holiday. Arrum had left for work hours before and wasn't due back yet.
Kain had been in the kitchen looking for something to eat when she felt a pain shoot through her and something warm run down her leg. "This is not happening." Her hand went to her stomach as she sucked in an unsteady breath. Another pain this time she screamed. Not a moment later Vatonia came running quickly followed by Molly and Artemis. Kain screamed again. "What's happening?" Poppy came rushing in. She saw the seen. "No this is early." She said looking at the seen. "Alright we're going to levitate you up stairs." Vatonia said pulling out her wand. "It hurts." Kain was sweating as she was set on the bed.
"I'll call for Arrum." Artemis got up. Kain let out another scream. "This is going to be awhile. You're not ready to push yet. You have to be prepared for the worst." Poppy said.
"Kain!" Arrum ran into the room taking Kain's hand in both of his. She took one and squeezed it tightly making the man wince. "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." She screamed at him. "She doesn't mean it." Vatonia said.
Hours passed with Kain screaming at the pain. It was not long after midnight. "Push Kain now." Poppy urged the woman in the bed. Vatonia stood waiting with a towel to clean the baby. After five minutes the baby boy came screaming into the world. Poppy put him in the waiting arms of the older werewolf. "Arrum go call your father and grandfather as well as Remus and the others go."
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
Arrum apparated to the front of Pack Cottage. HE came to the door and began to pound on it. "Sirius! Remus open the door!" A moment later the door was yanked open. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Sirius opened the door. "The cubs are here. Come quickly their here." Arrum ran back off to apparate again to get his father and grandfather.
"The cubs are here." Sirius said again. His eyes widened and he ran up the stairs to the bedroom. "The cubs are here. Remus the cubs are here." He woke his husband and ran across the hall barging into the room that held one Professor Snape.
"Snape the cubs are here get up." Sirius yelled. Snape rolled back over. "Cubs? Cubs. What cubs?" He closed his eyes again they quickly snapped open. "Those cubs." threw the covers back and ran down the stairs to the fireplace. Remus had just gone up in green flames and Sirius was already gone. Snape threw the floo power in and went through.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
When Arrum returned his second son had been born and they were now waiting for the third. Round two in the morning they heard a new set of screams. "It's another boy." they heard the call. Not long before three Vatonia announced the arrival of another son. Down stairs The new grandfathers, grandfather and honorary uncle waited for the announcement of the fourth.
"Another boy!" Vatonia yelled. In the room Arrum was held by his collar by Kain who after having four babies was very tired. "Kain you need to push." Poppy had told her. "I can't." Kain fell against the pillows. "You can and you will." Poppy said sternly.
"Come on you've made it this far. Just one more. You can do this now Push." Arrum urged her. "Here we go." Poppy said. "One last push your almost there." Vatonia told her. "There. It's a girl." the baby didn't make a sound. "No!" Arrum yelled his eyes on the baby.
"Give her to me." Kain reached forward. Poppy placed the silent unmoving baby in the arms of the werewolf. Kain brought the child to her chest and turned it to rub it's back then again to rub it's chest over the heart. "Kain it's-" Arrum started. Kain used her finger to pulled the baby girl's chin to open the mouth.
A strong breath was forced down the throat as she started to pat the back again working whatever was in the child's throat down. A moment later the girl cried loudly. The tears that had been running down the face of Molly and Artemis quickly stopped. "Bless Merlin she lives." Artemis cried out.
Poppy took the baby and began to check her over. Kain fell against the pillow. "You go get some coffee, food and a little rest. We'll clean up in here and get Kain comfortable again. You can se her after she's had some rest." Vatonia put her grandson out to the room.
Arrum walked down stairs a small smile on his face. "All five are alive. Four boys one girl." Arrum fell into the armchair. "Congrats son." Dimitri said hugging his son. "They want to let Kain get some sleep and clean up the kids and let them get some rest." Arrum yawned.
HE eyes drifted shut. "Poor boy." Dravyn said reaching for a cover that had been sitting on the couch. He draped it over the boy and kissed his forehead. "You may be a grown man married and now with children but your still my Little Loop." Vatonia came down stairs. "Why don't you all get some sleep it's early and Kain is now getting much needed rest." Vatonia said.
"There was a bit of a scare but everything is under control. I'll get a few blankets and you can all bunk down in here for a few hours." Artemis said coming down. "I want to-"
"There will be none of that Sirius. She needs rest. You can see her in a few hours. There was a bit of a scare but everything is fine now. You all get some sleep there will be breakfast. Then you can all meet your grandchildren." Molly said.
"Now off to bed with the lot of you." Molly shooed them into the living room conjuring up pillows and blankets.
It was a little after eleven when Poppy went to check on Kain. The new babies each wrapped in a different color to tell them apart except for the baby girl. Kain woke up as Poppy moved on to the third baby checking them over. "How are they Poppy?" Kain asked. "All are fine. All a good weight and breathing right. Strong heartbeats and all. Even the little girl. She's beautiful. Looks like you." Poppy said. "I smell food." Kain said like it was any other day.
"Yes we'll get you fed them the children. Then I'll wake Arrum to notify a few people. They came early and even thought they did they are a fine enough weight for me. Now I'll be right back with your food." Poppy left the room. She wasn't in any pain meaning the pain potion Poppy had given her was still in effect for how much longer she didn't know. Artemis came in with a tray of food and set it on Kain's lap. "Eat up we have to wake the men soon." she smiled.
"Men?" She looked at the woman confused. "Yes. Arrum fetched Dravyn, Dimitri, Remus and Sirius as well as Severus last night." She explained. "Sev? It's Easter he's staying at Pack Cottage for the holiday." she smiled.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
Arrum was now in the room sitting on the other side on the bed hold his third while Kain held their daughter. Kain had eaten and fed the babies. They had also been named as well. Now there was just only introducing them. "Alright they can come in." Kain said. Molly opened the door and in walked Harry, Sirius, Alanna, Minerva, Jenna, Raoul, Remus, Gareth, Severus, Dimitri, Dawn, Arthur, Dravyn, Molly, Bill, Vatonia, and Artemis. Vatonia and Molly picked up the other two babies and Poppy was holding the fourth boy.
"Everyone we introduce to you Conri Ismo who was born at 3:48:17 am who Poppy is holding. Molly is holding Muiris Anubis who came at 3:59 am. At 4:11 came Fakir Niko who I'm holding. At 4:23 Jasper Nuada was born. Finally the only girl was born at 4:37 am Aniu Xenia was born." Arrum finished speaking.
"And your still living?" Arthur exclaimed. He remembered how molly had broken his hand and threatened him with curses and hexes when she went into Labor with the twins. "Barely she had me by the throat. Cursed my name, banished me from our bed, said I was never aloud to touch her again, and nearly broke my bloody hand. The wolf's crazy." Arrum said. "Crazy now am I?" Kain glared at her spouse.
"Well I think you have beautiful children." Minerva said. "Thank you Aunt Minnie. Would you like to hold her?" Kain offered. Minerva took the child. "So do you know if they're-" Remus trailed off. "We won't know till the moon or they open their eyes enough to see. If their eyes are the wolf's yellow then we have true cubs on our hands." Vatonia said.
"Let me hold my grandson." Sirius said putting his arms out. "Which one?" Arrum and Kain said at the same time. In the next three hours the babies had been passed around by almost everyone. Each looking at the person holding them. The only one who hadn't opened their eyes was Aniu. She was very happy taking in the smell of the people who held her.
"I should quit teaching before I have to teach them." Severus said. Aniu began to fuss. "What's wrong pup?" Kain asked the child trying to think what could be wrong. She had been given a bottle, burped, and changed. "Yes the minute they hit eleven I resign my post." Severus said. Aniu got one arm free and it looked to be going in the same direction Severus was standing in. "Severus say something again."
"I will not." he said. Aniu fussed more. "Severus why don't you hold her?" Kain got up and slowly walked across the room to the black haired man. She placed the baby in Severus arms. Aniu calmed down and settled against the chest. She opened her eyes and looked at the man. "Wolf's yellow." Sev muttered.
"There's one wolf possibly." Remus said. "Maybe we can use you to determine if their werewolves here take Fakir." Arrum joked. "If you were still my student I'd deduct points for that cheek. She does however take after her mother thank Merlin." Severus said. "Hey!"
Everyone in the room laughed.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
The five cubs were moved into the nesting room later that day. So far the only one noted as being a werewolf was Aniu. She was the one with the yellow eyes. Snape it seemed was her favorite person when he came to visit. At the moon Kain took her potion and three drops were added to each bottle for the cubs.
They stepped outside. Arrum, Sirius, Dravyn, Artemis and Dimitri held the babes while they waited for the moon. Kain kissed each before walking ten feet away into a line of trees and changing. Remus and Vatonia did the same. Three wolves came from the trees and were greeted with two little cubs. "Kain whined. Her children were going to be looked down upon.
"Kain I still love them. I'll always love you. We'll get through this." Arrum said. Raising a pack of werewolves this was going to be one hell of an adventure. For now they didn't have a potent bite. Hell they didn't even have teeth that well. But it didn't matter they were a family.
A/N: I now that sucked. We're nearly done. Did anyone find anything wrong with the first three chapters of the story? Just a yes or no. Kinda sorta thing.
