please don't be dead, please don't be dead, please don't be dead.... i open my eyes, hearing soft, baby snores from the pups who have all now shifted, i look down to my stomach and see the small baby, holding onto my hand small hand while he sucks my thumb, his head turned to the side while his body is sprawled out on mine.

tears of relife well up in my eyes at the knowing that he is safe and alive, "hay-" i hear Nathan say softly as i look over to see him curled up with his own load of babies.

"i think we had too much!" Aidan says as i see him with two bite marks on his arm, two pups on his chest and two by his sides.

"did they bite you?" i ask and he looks at me with a dead look, "who did it?" i ask strictly and he gives a flat look.

"Him and her!" he points to the ones who are now on Nathan.

i look over and hear Nathan yelp, i shake my head, "give them here!" I say holding my arms out, Nathan looks at me before passing me one of them, i put the runt on the bed and take the other one, they bite me and i nip them which they yelp at, "NO BITING!" i shout and they grumble and they curl up and stop biting, i smile at Aidan and Nathan.

"damn!" Nathan says and i laugh a bit while i brush my hand over their hair.

"they may be babies and can't talk, but they were foxes before so they understand, you just need to talk to them more!" i say and they begin to move and gurgle, letting out little fox sounds in their voices, "yeah, they do need to step up don't they!" i scoff and they begin to laugh.

"i'm a horrible dad!" Aidan says distantly and i growl at him.

"no you are not, you just need confidence around the pups, they bit you damn it and you didn't tell them!" i say, leaning over and kissing him, he growls low in his throat as i tug on his hair, "bad dog!" i say and lean back down, sitting up with them, "where's the bottles?" i ask, turning to them and they point to the drawer beside me, i pull it open and lay the pups down, they all seem to get the point of what i'm doing and they begin to move to me, "Hay, they can feed you too now don't forget!" i say and throw a bottle to them which they catch and the pups look between us all, "dad!" i say pointing to Aidan, they turn to look at him, "Also dad!" i say pointing to Nathan and they look at him and begin to gurgle and laugh, the twins eyes are glowing with love, i lean over to the two that bite, "yeah, they love you and you bit them!" i say and they stop laughing, "what are you gonna do about it?" i ask and they begin to sob, "go over and give cuddles!" i say and they move over to the closest one which is Aidan.

"it's okay, i love you too much to hate you!" he says and they bit him, he yelps, "you little shits!" he says passing them to Nathan, i growl at all four of them and they all freeze, Aidan looks between, "b-b-bad babies, n-no biting?" he asks and i laugh.

Nathan takes the babes nervously, "if you bite him, i'll bite you!" i warn and Nathan and Aidan look to me like... did he seriously say that, "you think i wont, i had to cope with them little shits biting me all the time!" he say looking down to the pup in my arms as i feed him, Nathan yelps and i pass the babe to Aidan and reach over and nip both of them, they wriggle about and wine, "last warning!" i warn and they both look at me with mischevious looks, they show me their teeth and i smile, "awe, cute!" i give a toothy smile, showing the full length of my teeth and just how sharp they are and they put there teeth away, "damn right!" i say and give Aidan the bottle while i pick up another pup and begin feeding them while the others rather try to get their bottles themselves or roll around with the others, two of them playing about with the runt.

i look down at him and think, his light brown hair and adorable little face, i look up to the Alphas with questioning looks, "Bow?" i ask and they raise their brows, "it's an adorable name!" i say, picking him up, "what do you think about the name Bow?" i ask and he gurgles and laughs, "Thought so!" i say and hold him in my arms while we both look at the twins.

"i didn't know we got to name them yet!" Aidan wines and i laugh.

"i told you i'd wait until they shifted to name them!" i confirm and they smile.

"Jack!" Aidan says smiling madly, i slap my forehead as they both begin to name all the pups.

i look down at Bow, "they are so original!" i say and he laughs, "at least see if they respond to the name, if they don't, don't call them that!" i laugh and they roll their eyes.

"yeah right, there only cubs, how would they know?" Aidan says and i look at him.

"gurgle twice if you think he's being daft!" i call and they all shout out gurgles and me and Nathan laugh as he pouts.

"fine!" he says and laughs along, finding the humour.

"i love you two!" i sigh and they both look to my smiling, happy face.

"i mean, i love you too but i'm afraid i love the pups more!" he laughs and i slap his arm, earning a few small growls from the pups, before i can lean back Aidan pulls me back to him and kisses me, "i love you too!" he says as Nathan who has just finished feeding one pup gets up.

"i love you too, but, we'er gonna be here forever if you two don't focus!" he says as he places the baby on the floor, "Aint that right Nickos!" he says and the baby gurgles.

i clap my hands, "awe, so good!" i say and cuddle up to Aidan as we both watch him bonding with the kids.. he did spend the first moments of them being in human form with them, so it's clear, Aidan holds onto me tighter and i look to him, "are you okay?" i ask and he looks to me.

"i'm a really bad dad!" he says and i growl at him.

"no, your bad at names, not being a dad!" i say and kiss him, "see, he's falling to sleep while your feeding him!" i say, looking down at the pup. "Mikael?" i ask and another pup pipes up from the other end of the room, crawling over laughing at me, "That's Mikael!" i point and we both laugh, "pick a name you think'll fit, if it doesn't get his attention, pick another!" i say, leaning my head on his shoulder to try and comfort him...

i almost hurt for him, but he's just scared, he's worried and he thinks he's a bad dad when he's really not, i knew he didn't want to be a dad this early, but he's accepted it and loves them anyway, he may not be as good around them as me and Nathan, but he protects them with everything, he needs to see that.

"Carlos?" he asks with a soft, sweet voice and the baby hums, he looks up to me and sighs.

"your a good dad in your own way, Aidan, i'm not good at everything and nither is Nathan, so try not to worry about it!" i say softly and kiss him. i turn to Nathan who smiles at Aidan.

"ah, your not as shitty as i thought!" he says and Aidan growls.

"Nathan!" i gasp and he laughs.

"sorry, baby!" he says softly with a smile on his face, "i'm here for you, Aidan!" he says with a smile and Aidan smiles.

"yeah, yeah!" he says and i look to him, he turns away and my jaw drops, i look at Nathan and he's holding his hands over his mouth to stop a laugh.

i lean over to him and pull myself over him to see his blush, "your blushing!" i say and he grumbles, i kiss him and his blush goes away.

"i don't like too much sappy attention, that's Nathan's thing!" he says and i laugh.

"i don't care, if i think you need it, i'll give it to you!" i say and kiss him again.

he growls and i look at him, hearing Nathan growl too, "hurry up with these pups!" he says lowly and i growl lowly at him before rolling my eyes and sitting down again, putting the bottle away and then the kit with the others to play, i take Carlos when he's done and place him on the floor. i sit with another and finally reach the last, i smile down at her and she looks up to me with her blue eyes which have gold specks in them.

"Amber!" i whisper to her and she smiles, "for the golden specs in your eyes!" i say to her and she puts her hand up to me, she finishes with a burp and i laugh at her.

i ignore the pairs of eyes watching me, knowing that tonights ...not.... going to be fun for.........my butt....... i roll my eyes and stand up, i look to them and raise a brow, "are you gonna let me take them into the other room to sleep all by myself then?" i ask, "this is going to take foreve-" they beat me out the door with two pups in their arms, "oof-" i say, looking at their asses, loving the sight before me.
