"Thanks." Andrew said as he was helped out of the truck.

His back was even more sore now though he could live with that. He just had to make it through this pregnancy. Once insided and all the pups came down, Andrew was rather surprised.

"Happy aren't they?" Andrew asked.

[018Luxio]

Chris chuckles before kneeling down and nuzzling each of them before standing up and turning to Andrew "Guess so"

[anibus3]

"So....until the pups did you live here alone?" Andrew asked. "In the cabin I mean. You've got plenty of neighbors."

[018Luxio]

"Yes" Chris then shows Andrew to his room before showing him around the cabin and where everything is.

[anibus3]

"Why would you want such a big cabin while you were alone?" Andrew asked after he was shown around.

At this point, all he wanted to do was sit down and maybe try to sleep.

[018Luxio]

"It was passed down from my father" Chris takes Andrew back to his room

[anibus3]

Well that was a partial answer. Oh well. It was probably all he was gonna get. Once to this room, he had a bit of trouble sitting down on the bed though he managed.

"Well night I guess." Andrew said.

[018Luxio]

"Night" Chris closes the door, leaving Andrew to sleep.

[anibus3]

It was hard to fall asleep, mainly due to the weight of his stomach and the fact that he felt hungry still. Though he tried his best to ignore both things. It didn't really work though at least the bed was a bit more softer than the one in his small apartment. Still he wondered what life in this cabin was gonna be like.

[018Luxio]

A week or so later the children are running around and playing, them interacting with Andrew as if he had been there all along. Many of the evening meals were enough to fill Andrew up for at least a few hours after eating.

[anibus3]

It was nice to be around the pup again, they certainly seemed happy to have him about. Andrew would admit, they were pretty cute and fun to be around. Chris was still good at making food an usually for a few hours, it would hold him over before the growing brood would demand more. Still it was rather nice.

[018Luxio]

The months passed slowly, Andrew's stomach seeming to go through major growth spurts in the last month or so, because of the strain on his body Chris had basically put him on bedrest.

[anibus3]

Bed rest inevitable, he knew that. He still wasn't pleased with it. Sadly there was nothing he could do as he got bigger and bigger. As the day of the birth was slowly arriving, he was getting concerned. Would he really be able to pull this off? He knew it was over seven in there but still, what was gonna happen when he had em? They weren't really Chris's so.....what then?

[018Luxio]

Late one night as Amdrew is laying in bed the sound of low murmuring can be heard from outside. From the window there is a faint glow of firelight.

[anibus3]

Sleep wasn't coming so when voices were being made and they came to him, Andrew attempted to sit up. Though he wasn't really managing it. Grabbing the window sile, he peeked outside to see the source of the light and voice. Now what was going on? Several kicks moved across his stomach though he tried to ignore it as he sat there.

[018Luxio]

There was a large group of people both sitting and standing around a large fire that was in the middle of the area. As they continued to talk Andrew could faintly hear his name mentioned here and there.

[anibus3]

What are they talking about? Andrew wondered as his eyes narowed.

He could barely make anything out but he did hear his name. Where was Chris? Straining to see further out the window, he could barely make out the top of their head in the mess of people. Though Andrew lost his grip and fell back onto his back as the young squirmed.

[018Luxio]

Chris couldn't mistake the increase in Andrew's heart rate. Turning toward the house he slipped from the crowd of people before making his way into the cabin and to Andrew's room, opening the door to find him sprawled out on the floor.

[anibus3]

Hearing the door open, Andrew attempted to sit up again. Barely managing it though he glanced over to Chris.

"I can hear my name being said out there, what are you people talking about?" Andrew requested, he even pointed a bony finger toward the window to show he'd seen the group of people there.

[018Luxio]

"What we're going to do with them when they're born"
