"Eh you never know." Andrew said. "There's still time for em to get a bit bigger before they're suppose to come out. I bet the others are excited huh?"

The others reffering to the pups back at Chris's house.

[018Luxio]

"They keep wanting to know when your coming back" Chris looks Andrew over for a moment "Come here"

[anibus3]

"Coming back?" Andrew asked. "They've been doing fine without me, why would they want me around?"

It took some more effort but Andrew got out of the chair and went over to Chris. What were they plotting now?

[018Luxio]

Chris pulls Andrew down onto the couch with him, leaning it to softly nuzzle at the younger's neck as a low growl rumbles in his chest.

[anibus3]

Okay words ignored and now he was gonna be stuck in one of the hardest things to get out of with a big stomach. Though at what happened next made Andrew nervously an a shiver run through his spine.

"Um...Chris? What....what are you doing?" Andrew asked.

[018Luxio]

"Scenting you" Chris moves his hand down along Andrew's large stomach.

[anibus3]

"Why?" Andrew asked as he stifled a groan.

Even with a shirt on his sensitive skin still acted up when something was touching it. It both felt pleasent an a bit painful though at least the first one was more present than the latter.

[018Luxio]

"Because" Chris soon moves Andrew into his lap, him continuing to nuzzle at Andrews neck as his hands run down Andrew's back.

[anibus3]

"Didn't anyone teach you that 'Because' isn't a real answer?" Andrew asked as his position was changed.

This was just strange now. He honestly would like to get his answers without having to beat around a bush.

[018Luxio]

Chris nips Andrew's ear soon after before finally pulling away. "Because I want you to be kept safe, and with my scent no other wolf will even think about touching you.

[anibus3]

The nip on his ear made him try to pull away though he really couldn't in this position. A brow was raised to Chris's answer.

"So why didn't ya do that the first time? Would've been a nice precaution." Andrew questioned, the young in his stomach started to stir somewhat.

[018Luxio]

"The scent disappears with time, though with them inside you there is always that constant, though i am simply reassuring myself" Chris then moves Andrew back to the couch so that he is sitting down once again. "You should get some rest"

[anibus3]

"Then I'm going to sleep in my bed, it's more comfortable there than on the couch." Andrew said as he attempted to get up, though he just barely managed.

With that he was off to bed and removed his shoes, not caring enough to try and get out of his shirt.

[018Luxio]

Chris sticks around for most of the night before heading home, He wouldn't see Andrew again for another month or so.

[anibus3]

The month just before the final one, oh boy. Andrew knew the date was approaching and it was already halfway into the eighth month. He knew that things would be harder now with the impending litter but this was crazy. They were much more active and caused quite a ruckus at the work place, it was hard to come up with some sort of lie to convince his coworkers that it was just a accident and he merely bumped into it. Not having werewolf pups in his stomach kicking everything and somehow damaging it from inside of him; though all the lies were getting harder an harder to keep. He'd also gotten bigger, his stomach just inches from touching the floor and getting home was no easy task either. Finally making it, his stomach tightened as he assumed it was just braxton kicks, false labor pains since he had a rather stressful day. Arrow was over at a friends house due to a homework assingment.

[018Luxio]

As Andrew went about his daily routine as best he could he kept checking the clock knowing that he would have to pick Arrow up before it got too late, him having school tomorrow.

[anibus3]

With the false labor pains hitting him still, Andrew struggled to do much of anything at the apartment. Though the phone ringed an it ended up being the mother of the other kid, wanting to know if Arrow could sleep over since the two boys were getting along very well. Thinking it over, Andrew agreed since Arrow wouldn't be shifting into anything since there was no full moon tonight. She offered to come up and get a spare change of clothes though Andrew said he could do it. Hanging up, he gathered up some clothes and started on over, his stomach still hurting much to his dismay.

[018Luxio]

Arrow's friends house wasn't very far but their was no way that he could walk. When Andrew gets to the house Arrow is waiting just inside the door for him, asking him about his day and about the pups like he did every day.

[anibus3]

"It's been okay Arrow, though we can't go talking about them outside of the apartment. Okay?" Andrew whispered.

"Aw....." Arrow said defeated before Andrew ruffled the hair on their head.

"I know you're excited but just be patient. Here's some clothes and a pillow for you." Arrow accepted the items though Andrew winced as a pain went through his stomach.

"Daddy? You okay?"

"I'm fine.....just hurts a little that's all."

Unknown to him, the mother of the other child was nearing the door.

[018Luxio]

Arrow looks at him, sensing that there was something more to what his father was saying. Arrow turns as his friends mother approaches.
