Chapter 5
Into Wolf Woods
Grimm's POV
About a week later
"This better be worth my time." I mumbled. Mama Wolf calling me in the middle of my lunch. The nerve! She didn't say too much. Something about Badwolf and needing my approval. I used the Translocation my new Mirrorphone and hoped it wouldn't kill me. This was new Mirror tech after all. I ended up in Hood Hollows with a queasy stomach, but that was it. I looked for Mama. She said she would come get me.
The female Wolf hobbled down a small path above the well, leading to the woods. I followed her and was lead to a nice sized house. A loud wail was coming it. This better not be another of those misunderstandings where the parent left their kid for them to babysit again. They know better than that. Mama knocked on the door, yelling for her son.
"Oh, he's here already?" Badwolf opened the door, holding a screaming, wolf-eared baby.
"When did you have a child?" I asked.
"I found her on my doorstep. You better come inside. Cerise is already cranky from not being paid attention to. Stop screaming. Look, you're in my arms right now." The wolf man told the baby. She wouldn't listen.
"Let me take her. She's mad at you for trying to leave her to get the door." Red Hood took Cerise.
"RED?" I stepped back, unbelieving of the sight before me. A Hood in Wolf Woods?! And the famous hero in her villain's house.
"It's ok. Cerise needed a wet nurse and she liked me the best. He didn't kidnap me. Badwolf." Red reassured me.
"I know you have kind heart, Miss Hood. But I never would have excepted this from you. Are you sure you want to be here?" I ignored the Wolfs denying that they wouldn't do such a thing.
"Yes. Cerise may be a Wolf, but she needs my help. And magic potions affect my milk so they wouldn't risk drugging the baby." Red looked at the cooing child and smiled.
"Ah, yes. They wouldn't want that." I had forgotten that magic could do such a thing.
"See? We told you the truth." Badwolf growled at me.
"Well, this is an odd situation. We should have known he would be shocked." Mama calmed down a bit.
"But accusing me of kidnapping Red..." He glared angrily, shooting daggers.
"How do we know it's his? It may be one of his cousins." I cleared my throat.
"I took a paternity test. She's mine. I'll go get the papers." He left the room and came back with the papers. Dr. James Richards. My cousin went to him. Nice man. Ah, "Cerise shares half Badwolf's DNA".
"I know of this doctor and that he would never fake results. But I'll need to take these with me. For the judge." I annouced.
"Alright." Badwolf said gruffly.
"Who's the mother?" Mama suddenly spoke.
"I, I don't know. You know how one night stands are." Badwolf scratched the back of his head. He clearly didn't want to talk about this with his own mother. She frowned, but said nothing.
"That would be another test, right? Cerise was so upset the last time. We should give her a break frist." Red suggested.
"No, that wouldn't do any good." I agreed.
"So, can she stay here?" The new father asked.
"Yes. I'll call when they need to see you. Uh, good bye." I left the house and just the well to get back to Ever After High again. I don't think I could handle the app right now.
