Star lets out a snort of amusement. "It was only a few days ago that you finally learned how to swim," she reminds her friend. "They remind me of you before you could."

Sunny barks in amusement. "I can swim!" Fang barks. He jumps into the deep part of the water. They wait a moment to see if he would pop up, but he doesn't. Sunny jumps in and find Fang sinking and thrashing wildly. Sunny grabs her cub and pulls him to the surface. "I CAN swim!" Fang barks angrily.

"Mmmm... wildflowers...." breathing deep, Scuro sniffs the delicious-smelling flowers and sits back on his haunches. "So pretty..." he murmurs into the wind. It blows through the brightly colored meadow and gently wafts through his fur. He continues on his walk, barking up some trees, splashing through puddles, and chasing his tail until he collapses in a tangled ball of laughter. No one ever taught him how adults act. He is still a childish pup within. He loves his carefree, rulefree loner life.
As the air gets colder, warning him that night will be here in a couple hours, he turns and weaves his way through the trees to get back home. It's been four whole days, since he left Sunny to go out and explore. He misses her, and wants to get back home in time to help with the arrival of their new pups. He's making a big wide detour around the dangerous wolves's territory, getting ready to follow the riverside back to Sunny's and his den, when a loud, frantic splashing and barking fills his ears. He whips around and bounds out of the trees, leaping into the river to find his beautiful Sunny holding a small pup.
"What...?" he says in shock. mostly of the sight of his mate with a cub, but also because of the cold water, chilled by the night air. He helps Sunny out of the water and shakes himself dry. The little pup is set down to dry too. Scuro bends down and sniffs the small furball. He stares at it, then shifts his gaze to look at his mate in wonder. "Is he... ours?" he asks, but knows by the scent that this is his son. He yips in joy and turns, noticing the three other little bundles. "Cubs! Little cubs of our own! But- but how? When? They weren't supposed to come until later!" he looks at his cubs and gathers them to him.
"Willow... Current... and Breeze." he says, breathless after a round of introductions. "Oh! You look just like me!" he says with a joyful laugh to Breeze, nuzzling her. He leans over to nudge his other, white-furred son, and promts "And you, son? What name has your darling mother given you?" He chuckles as his son puffs out his chest, growls as loud as he can, -not that loud- and says, "I'm Fang! Grrr!" Fang pulls down his lip proudly to show his father his large canine tooth. "Wow." his father says, impressed.
Scuro turns to Sunny, love in his eyes, for her, and for his new family. "Sunny, I'm so glad to finally see you again. Four days... it feels like longer. But now I'm back, and I can stay and help with the little ones. I'm so sorry I wasn't here... I missed the birth of my own cubs! Oh, how shameful! Oh!..." he hangs his head for a moment, but then, seeing his little black-furred look-alike daughter playfully tug at his tail, he smiles and looks up into his beautiful mate's beautiful eyes. "Well, the past is the past and it's something I can't change. But I do know we can change the future. For the better. We'll be the best dang family ever, gosh darn it. We'll make it happen." he leans over and nuzzles Sunny, breathing in her scent. She smells a lot betterthan wildflowers, he thinks happily. I'm glad to be home.

Star's eyes gleam with amusement. "No, you're not," she tells Fang.

Fang looks up at her and glares. "I'll do what I want!" Fang snarls. Sunny scolds Fang for being rude to Star.

Scuro looks on and smiles, remembering his puphood days. After Fang apologizes grudgingly, Scuro leans over and whispers to him, "You know, when your mother's not around..." he gives a mischievious grin, "We can have little hunting lessons. If, of course, you are good." He didn't bother to tell his excited son that Sunny would likey be watching the pups like a hawk until they were older, and by that time it would be okay for them to learn to hunt. But he enjoyed seeing Fang's blue eyes light up with happiness.

"That reminds me," Sunny barks. "Shadow Fire and Apple Leaf helped me deliver the cubs," Sunny says. "I'm the oldest!" Fang yowls.

Scuro turns to thank Shadow Fire, but she has already sprinted away, so he makes a mental note to thank both her and the healer greatly the next time he sees them.
He smiles at Fang's declaration and says, interestedly, "Really? Wow."

"Yeah! I'm the oldest, so I'm going to rule the forest!" Fang barks happily.

Midnight Fire walked over to the river spotting Scuro. Sunny and her cubs she trotted over and said "you have to get your cubs away from here hunters are invading all wolf territory's keep your cubs safe sorry about the short notice but just get out of here immediately the north should be safe" she winced as she heard a bang a hunter came out the trees however Midnight caught him by the neck flinging the gun out of his hands and chucking him even further away she then spotted Fang ambling towards the tube. she was there in an instance she quickly disposed of the tube throwing it half a mile away "you must go" she yelled over her shoulder as she ran off.

Sunny grabs up Fang and Current and Scuro gets Breeze and Willow. They dash off further north and stop at a crack between two rocks. They shelter there for the night.

Scuro and Sunny gently try to comfort the scared pups, who are whimpering in fright and confusion. Scuro nuzzles little Breeze, trying to hush her whining and calm her shivers. He whispers to her that it will all be alright, that hopefully the hunters will move on and not find them.
