Autumn exchanged nervous glances at Hawk who laid next to her, his arm curled around her waist protectively. He nuzzles her shoulder examining the mark he had given her just a few days ago. She stiffened slightly from his touch before fidgeting and rolling onto her side so that her back was against his chest.

Hawk sensed her discomfort, her hands shaking as she tugged the covers closer against her. "What is it Fall?" Fall was his nickname for her due to Autumn being her actual name. She doesn't answer him, fear building up in her chest when he growled out slightly annoyed yet worried.

He swiftly had her pinned underneath with him, he glowered down at her, "Why are you scared, mate?" Her eyes widen meeting his gaze before she glances away nervously

"...I..I.." She stammered quietly not able to bring herself to say it.

He snarled lowly, "Answer me."

Autumn choked back a sob holding back tears, "...I'm...I'm pregnant..." Her voice trembled as tears now burst from her eyes. She turned looking away not wanting to see the anger on his handsome face.

Instead his hand reached out grasping her face, "Look at me Fall..." Her fear filled hazel eyes met his olive-green ones. His face had no sign of anger only softness and joy. She had his pup in her. He placed a hand on her stomach after wiping her tears away.

"Who knew only a few times could make a baby?" He whispered out amusedly causing Autumn to blush and laugh slightly. He could feel the warmth there and could hear the faint heartbeat. Her scent indeed proved she was holding his pup inside her.

She smiled nervously, "...I'm scared...Hawk..." He looked at her, enveloping her into a warm embrace.

"Don't be. I'm here with you...I'll always be here for you and our baby okay?" She nods happily and whispered muffled words to him as she buried her face into his chest.

"I'm grateful to have a pup. Especially with you." He said kissing her on her forehead only to notice she was sleeping tiredly. Since it was hard for dire wolves to have pups especially with a human. He was beyond ecstatic.

Raven was shoved brutally into his room. Clint growled angrily that she had even dared to talk back to him. Let alone disobey him.

She scowled at him, but her eyes soon widen as he clutched the only thing that mattered to him. Her mother's picture.

"Please don't...I'm sorry! Just please don't..." She begged only to be cut off by the sound of the precious photo being torn to pieces just like her heart was at the moment. She cries loudly anger building up in her, "That was the only memory of my mother! You asshole!"

She collected the pieces desperately, tears fled down her face. She then clutched the pieces to her chest. "...That was all I had left of her before she died of cancer..." Her navy-blue eyes glared at him as she stood. Refusing to cry anymore she placed the pieces into the nightstand and sat on the side of the bed.

Clint's eyes flash with emotion before his eyes return to their cruel state. He growls stepping towards her only for her to shout "...Leave me alone you monster!"

He growled his wolf pained now, "I'm sorry Rave..." She shook her head, "Just leave me alone..."

He swiftly grasped her wrists and she quickly tried to pull away. His arms wrapped tightly around her slim figure and hugged her. She couldn't move out of his grip and limply stood. "I hate you!!" She screamed at him and punched him continuously in his chest. He frowned as she continued to hit him and sob, "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"

He whimpered slightly as she dropped against him tiredly as she had no energy left. He picked her up gently and placed her down on the bed before glancing at the pieces of Ravens moms' photo. "I'm sorry Raven...I didn't know. I'll fix it I promise." He whispered out and say at the end of the bed covering his face in his hands. Man, he was screwed up.

Emerald glanced at Terrain and couldn't help but laugh. "Well now I know you can't cook for shit!" She stared at the mess in the kitchen. Terrain growled, "I have no idea what I'm doing!"

She laughed harder causing him to turn off the stove where bacon laid burnt in the pan. "You think this is funny?!" He snarled stepping towards her as she sat by the counter and nods giggling. "It's hilarious!"

He swiftly grasps her by her waist and places her on the counter before crashing his lips onto hers. She quieted down a moan slipping from her mouth before she kissed him back. Before the kiss could deepen even more he dumped a handful of flour on her head.

"Who's laughing now?" He chuckled stepping back to admire his artwork. She stood glaring at him as flour coated her face and hair, "You've done it now Terrain!!!" She shouts curse words and grabs a couple eggs slamming it down all over his head. He glares as she laughs loudly and runs out of the kitchen. He races after her swiftly only to tackle her into the grass as they ran outside. They go silent as they look at each other. He then kisses her lustfully as she giggles trying to swat him away. His hands roam her body as she kisses him back. "I'll make sure you take that I don't cook well comment back." He growled lowly, her eyes widen "what?! No Terrain! We can't do this here!!!"

"Why not?" He smirked before claiming her mouth once again with his. Emerald soon forgets what she was even telling him and sinks further into his passionate kisses.
