Thoughts

They weren't home before his birthday, they weren't home on his birthday and they weren't home after his birthday and they weren't home today. Thirteen days...that's how long the dominates and their alpha had been gone thirteen days and it felt more like and eternity for Harry.

To distract him from the fact that the man he loved was off fighting in a dangerous battle Harry read books and talked to his friends, but lately he was spending more time with his mother. Being with his mother helped him feel better since his mother knew exactly how he felt.

"Mom, how can you handle the fact that dad is out fighting...that he might get hurt?" Harry asked his mother while he was laying with her. She had a protective arm around his waist and his head was lying on her breast, he also had his arm around his mother's waist, childishly not wanting to let go.

Harry had had a nightmare and had gone to his mother's to sleep with her, his mother had happily let him join her; she knew her little cub was worried and she would do what she could to make him feel better.

"Well Harry your father is a grown man that can protect himself but not just that he has friends with him that will help to keep him protected. I trust Fenrir with my life Harry and so does your father...we wouldn't be here if we didn't."

Looking up at his mother Harry asked what she meant.

"Well Harry when I was pregnant with you was when we joined Fenrir's pack."

A shocked Harry stared at his mother for a few minutes before he responded. "Really I never knew that."

"Well yes it's true."

"Can...can you tell me how it happened?"

"Ok my love... "

FLASHBACK

"James we've been walking for hours...I'm sorry my love but I'm tired and so is your little son."

Turning to his pregnant wife James saw her supporting her hurting back with both of her hands. She was about three months pregnant with their first cub and they had been walking for hours. The reason they were walking is because they were attempting to find a place to sleep for the night. James could have left her while he went to find a place to sleep but he didn't want to leave his pregnant mate even for a second.

"You're right Lily please forgive me, well rest here...sit down."

Sitting next to her husband Lily took out a piece of meat from a little bag she was carrying and nibbled on it. She took out another piece and offered it to her mate.

"No you eat it I'm not that hungry."

"James..."

"Lily I want you to eat... beside's I'm sure the cub in your belly would love that piece of meat more than I would."

Complying with her mates wishes she ate both pieces of meat.

They had been walking for days trying to find some where to call their own but they weren't having any luck. What made it even worse was that they were in Fenrir Greyback's territory; this was not a great place to be if he didn't give them permission to be there.

Feeling his mate rest her head on his shoulder James sighed and smiled when he felt her go limp. No matter where she was Lily was able to take a nap. Not smelling any one near James decided to take a risk and went to sleep.

A few moments after falling asleep James smelled someone nearby. James barely had time to react before he saw a huge gray wolf come towards him and his mate. As quickly as possible James lifted up his pregnant mate he jumped out of its way. When he landed on his feet he turned to see that there was more than just a gray wolf it was a couple of that hadn't eaten in a while.

"Leave us alone...we don't want any trouble just go." As James spoke he noticed that another light brown wolf had emerged from hiding. Damn... I can't fight two of them and keep Lily safe at the same time.

"James...James what are we going to do?"

Hearing his mate's whispered words James answered. "I want you to run Lily run as fast as you can and don't stop. When I get through with them I'll go and find you ok...when I tell you to run you run."

"Whe-where...where do I run?"

"Anywhere love just run and don't stop, I'll get you when I'm done and I'll find through your scent." Noticing the wolves getting closer James yelled. "RUN"

Lily didn't even turn back as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She knew that if she did turn back she could possibly trip on something and not only make herself an easy target but hurt her baby.

Where... where am I... god I don't know where I am? I wish I could smell things but being pregnant dulled my senses.

Feeling a pain on her side Lily slowed down held her stomach. It had been a long time since she had ran as fast as she had been doing a few moments ago.

"Ah... I'll just rest for a little bit then... then I'll keep on running."

Keeping her hand clutched to her stomach Lily started to walk again. She didn't know how long she had been running but she was already panting. Her little cub was making it hard for her to keep going.

"I have to keep going though. James said not to stop."

XxXxXxXxX

Lily felt like she had been walking for hours it more like an hour but it felt like hours. She didn't know why it was taking James so long to get her. With every passing minute she would have awful thoughts.

What if something happened to him? What if he got hurt and is going to get eaten? What if he killed them but just can't find me; oh god what if I stay lost here forever?

Hearing a twig snap behind her Lily froze for a second before she stared to run as fast as she could.

I can't... let them get me... I have to protect the baby.

Trying to dodge the trees in her way Lily didn't see a lifted root and tripped over it; she fell hard on her side. Once she was on the ground Lily knew that she was an easy target so she did the only thing she could of; she rolled into a ball and covered her belly with her hands.

"Lily... Lily are you ok? Answer me love."

Hearing her mate's voice, Lily lifted her head and then wrapped her hands around her mate when he was close enough.

"James... James I had been so worried and scared... I thought… I thought that you had been hurt of worse... I was so scared James... so scared."

"I almost was in danger love but I had help."

Just noticing Lily looked behind James and saw a gray wolf and a few brown, red and black and blond wolfs. It looked a whole pack was behind the gray wolf.

"Thank you for your help... all of you."

While James spoke the wolves in front of him they started to shift to their human form. When the wolves were done shifting there were three women, three men and of course the alpha. Lily noticed the women talking together for a few minutes and then they walked towards their alpha to speak to him.

XxXxXxXxX

"Fenrir!"

"Yes Molly how can I help you?"

Getting closer to Fenrir Molly wanted to state the obvious but Patricia beat her to it.

"She's pregnant... she looks like she's about two to three months."

"They have obviously been by themselves for a while... the male James doesn't smell like he belongs to a pack and the women Lily just smells like the male."

Looking at the female Narcissa wondered it they had belonged to another pack, with just smell alone it seemed like they didn't. Most likely they did but since they hadn't been around their pack for a while the smell wore off.

"Your point being?"

Wishing he could roll his eyes Fenrir instead just crossed his arms and waited for the women to answer.

"We have to take them in."

Now Fenrir wasn't a fortune teller but he already knew that the women were going to tell him that.

"We don't have to do anything ladies."

Now it wasn't that Fenrir wanted to argue with the woman but he knew that it was best to make them believe that they had changed his mind. He didn't want them to think he had gone soft on them.

"We saved them from rogues the least we can do know is help them out, come one Fenrir they look like good people."

Molly had been in Fenrir's pack long enough to know that her alpha was going to let the couple stay and all he was doing was putting a show.

"Fenrir come on you know you want to just do it." Rolling her eyes Patricia wondered why men had to be so stubborn.

"Look at him he won't attack any one he just wants to take care of his mate and soon to born cub. Beside's if you do for what ever reason feel the need to kick them out then do it but at least wait till the cub is born."

"Fenrir we've never asked you for anything come on... what do you have to lose."

Tired of hearing the women talking he decided to comply with their wishes. Just this once.

Turning to James and Lily, Fenrir spoke. "You're welcome to stay with us for a few months... at least until your mate gives birth."

END of FLASHBACK

"A couple of days after we joined the Fenrir's pack your father helped Fenrir fight off a few wolfs and that's how he was able to gain Fenrir's trust and we were able to stay."

"I never knew this…to tell you the truth this makes me miss Fenrir even more."

Pulling her son deeper into her breast, Lily tried to comfort her son. "Don't worry love everything is going to be ok. Before you know it he'll be here."

In the morning when Harry woke up the first thing he noticed was that he was not in his room and that their was a very muscular arm around his waist. Sniffing the air to know who it was Harry hoped that his senses weren't playing games with him. He turned around to make sure his senses were telling him the truth and they were; Fenrir was on the bed with him.
