A Dark Moon [Vampire07 & Eyesoffire]

"You're sure you're alright with this, baby?" Joe asked Lillian, moving behind her and placing his hands lovingly on her shoulders. "Keeping Rosie here, I mean there's no point in dong it if you're not fully happy. I don't want her to spend time with people who aren't sure about having her here."
 
Lillian didn't know what to say to him as he ran his hands over her shoulders. "You want to prove to me you can be a wonderful father. Even though you don't believe me when I keep telling you that you will be." She said as she stirred the large pot and by now she was sweating from staying at the stove all day. "I love Rosie as if she was my own but I'm wondering if you're ready on taking one two children." She said as she nodded to a little toddler who was standing at his mother's side, sucking on his thumb.

"Fiona, mentioned you wanted some parenting practice. Normally a litter consists of twins." The blonde woman picked up her son who whimpered as she handed him over to Joe. "Thomas, is a clingy pup Joe so be prepared to have him sneaking into bed." She laughed as her mate waked in with a tiny crib with the supplies as well. "I hope you two know what you're getting yourselves into."

The male sniffed the air and licked his jaws but his mate slapped his chest getting him out of the house as they assumed that dinner was for four people, but they just saw the beginnings of the feast.
 
Joe smirked at the pup in his arms. "Come on Lillian, with you as my mate, we can do anything." he kissed her cheek and smiled wider before looking at Thomas. "So I guess with this little guy there won't be any fun for adults, huh?" He teased and squeezed Lillian's ass, purposely turning away so Thomas wouldn't see his hand. "I'm gonna see if he wants to play ball or learn to be a real wolf!" Joe smiled and placed Thomas on the table. He handed the pup a ball and made funny faces again. "Are Rosie and Thomas the same age?"
 
Lillian blushed as he grabbed her ass. "I'm just nervous about all of this but you seem so confindent about it." She watched as Thomas was on the verge of tears. "They are about the same age I think Rosie is abit older." Lillian said as she let the chili set with her walking over taking Rosie from Fiona. Rosie was sleeping by now as she was fed, changed and bathed. Smiling at the tiny pup in her arms but she walked over to Joe while Thomas looked at the ball in his hands.

"You have to admit both pups have different personalities." Lillian said as Fiona and Dana had left to keep cooking for tomorrow. Though Lillian sang softly with her walking by the boys. Thomas turned following Lillian's voice seeing her putting Rosie in her tiny crib then Lillian placed the toy bear in with her.
 
Joe watched Thomas follow Lillian and smiled. "He's definitely taken to you, Rosie laughed when I made my faces, he just cried...but when you sang...well look at him. He wants you to carry him." Joe said and rolled the ball to Thomas's feet, wondering if he'd pick it up. "He must be very shy, or very unused to more rowdy playing." Joe said, getting up and walking to Lillian. "Which sucks...for me." He shrugged, "it's alright, Rosie still likes me...i think..."
 
Lillian reached down running her hand through the tuff of blonde hair. "Well Darling...This is one challenge you need to face." she said looking at Thomas he reached up for her to hold him. "He's use to women so for now...You're going to have him get use to being around males. You're not failing but what if you have a pup who is shy of everyone that walks up to them." She said as she sat down with her foot gently rocking Fiona's crib. Reaching over as she turned a radio on with soft music playing. Rosie cooed as she nestled down further in the crib cuddling with the bear.
 
Joe figured that Lillian was right. He walked over to Thomas and lay down on the floor on his belly so he wouldn't be scared of Joe's height. "Hey little guy." He said softly and held out his hand for Thomas to take. He was so unsure of what to do at this point. Would Thomas even like him? It made Joe doubt himself but Lillian's words rang in his ear. Thomas had to be made a man! "I have no idea what I'm doing." Joe chuckled and looked up at Lillian. He rolled the ball to Thomas again and looked at Rosie. Perhaps Thomas would like the same thing. Joe scooped his up and rocked him in his arms in time to with music, hoping he'd fall asleep.
 
Lillian smiled softly as she looked at the pair. "Honey, get to know the kiddo. What did he have when he walked in with his mother?" She pointed to the fallen stuffed rabbit near the door. "He had a death grip on it until his mother picked him up. Play with him and the rabbit. That may break the ice."

Thomas was quiet and curled up in a ball as he was eyeing Rosie's bear already missing his stuffed rabbit. Silently he sobs got louder with Rosie opening her eyes seeing the crying Thomas.
 
"God I must be blind." Joe said and put Thomas down before getting up and bringing Thomas's stuffed rabbit over. He pretended the rabbit was alive and that it 'walked' over to Thomas to give him a hug. "What's his name, Thomas?" Joe asked, sitting down next to the boy and handing him the rabbit. Joe smiled at the kid and chuckled a little. "I had a turtle when I was a boy.' he said to Lillian. "Not stuffed, made of plastic, but I loved him a lot too, called him Surf." He looked down at Thomas and smiled so more. "Do you like you rabbit, big guy?
 
Thomas snatched the rabbit from Joe and hugged him. "Rabby..." He said softly as he was blushing.

"For me I had a large skunk. It squeaked when you press on the pouch of air. Iuse to chase the other grown ups with it because they thought it was a real one. Or so I thought. But it was fun." She said as Thomas made the rabbit dance and he was smiling. Lillian watched the tinyboy as he grabbed the ball and weakly threw it at Joe's direction. "Well you found an way to get him to open up."
 
Joe nodded and smirked, "I guess I did..." he caught the ball and rolled it back to Thomas. "Come on Thomas, throw is harder, show Rabby how good you are at throwing!" Joe encouraged him and waited to catch the ball. He had a large smile on his face and looked up at Lillian, he gazed at her lovingly and smiled a bit wider. He didn't say anything, he just watched her with loving eyes until Thomas threw the ball at his face.
 
Lillan was watching Thomas who picked the ball out then threw with all the strength he had. Rosie whimpered and Lillian picked her up and held her in her arms. Rosie nestled into Lillian's arms while Lillian rocked the little girl back to sleep.
 
Joe rubbed his forehead and looked down at Thomas. "Didn't expect a pair of arms on you, kid." he said, still smiling. The music was clearly getting to Thomas, as he started yawning as well. Joe picked him up and held him against his chest as he walked over the Lillian. "So...did they bring a cradle for him too, or is there something else?"
 
Lillian looked to the crib in the corner. "Its over there abit from Rosie's." She said with her putting Rosie back in her crib and tucked the toy next to her. Thomas clung to Joe but when he was put down he grabbed for his rabbit and curled up with it, sucking his thumb.

Lillian walked out of the bedroom letting the two to get to a point where sound wouldn't bother them. Getting to the large pot she tried the chili and moaned. Getting a bowl of it with a slice of bread she sat on the couch with her turning the TV on. "Come on. We're going to have to get as much time alone as possible while they are here."
 
"You say that as if you're preparing for the worst." Joe truly didn't know much about parenting, he was just a confident guy looking to see what it was like. He moved to sit beside Lillian and wrap his arm around her, pulling her close as she ate. They watched Rush Hour for a while and Joe eventually took after the pups and closed his eyes, sleeping while still sitting up and hold Lillian. He didn't dream of much, just the ambient sound of the TV had lulled him to sleep.
 
Lillian had fell to sleep in his arms with the movie starting over to the beginning. Thomas was getting hunry with him tossing and turning. He gave a small cry then he got louder and he put some force into his cry which startled Rosie who began to wail.

Hearing those cries Lillian jumped and rolled off the couch onto the floor. Groaning as she shook Joe's leg to wake him up. "Joe! Wake up!" She had to shout at him with her moving over his leg walking into their room picking up Rosie then walked to Thomaskissing his forehead. "I'm here..." She sniffed the air and coughed. "Thomas really needs you on this one Joe..." Lillian hinted Thomas needed to be changed while she went into the kitchen taking two bottles from the fridge then heated them up to a warm tempature. Lillian let Rosie feed for a short time then had to turn her head with Rosie bulching. "Damn girl..." Lillian laugh as Rosie grinned while she was being rocked.
 
Joe could smell it too. He frowned immediately and held Thomas away from him. "Hmm..." He grimaced. "I was really dreading this bit." He sighed and got up, off the couch and walked into their room. There was a dresser big enough for them to change a baby, and Thomas' parents had left spare diapers and clothes for him to wear. "This is disgusting, by the way!" Joe called down to his lover as he opened up Thomas' diaper and the smell got stronger. "We should get a human to do this...gah!...Their sense of smell isn't as strong as ours!"

When he was done he carried Thomas back down, holding him close to his chest. Joe was wide-eyed and stared at Lillian for a moment. "...ew..." was all he said before shaking his head slowly.
 
Lillian laughed at him. "Well, if we have a son do you want a human to change your son?" She asked with her pulling Joe down next to her with Thomas holding the stuffed rabbit in his tiny hands. Lillian touched the little one's nose who just curled up tighter into Joe's chest. Lillian curled to Joe and slowly fell to sleep.
 
Joe frowned again, no, he would have wanted to have been a good dad and do it himself. He smiled a little, feeling Thomas curl up tighter to his chest and Lillian curl up tighter to himself. He kissed her forehead and whispered. "Love you." Into her ear before leaning back on the couch and falling into a dreamless sleep as well. He had a feeling things would be much, much better tomorrow.
 
When morning came Lillian was already up bathing the little ones. Both Rosie and Thomas was slapping their hands into the water getting Lillian soaking wet. Lillian was laughing as she got them both cleaned up but she grabbed Rosie wrapping her up in a towel. "ready to get out Thomas?"

The blonde boy slammed his fists into the bubbled water in protest of getting out. "I'll send Joey in here..." She playfuly warned but Thomas splashed all the more. Laughing as Lillian tended to Rosie and once she was dressed then released. Rosie crawled out to the living room where she sat there where her bear was. Shortly Thomas joined her playing with his rabbit.
 
Joe was still sleeping on the couch by the time Lillian had finished with their baths. He only woke up to the sound of the pups playing nearby. He groaned and walked into the kitchen, rubbing his back, knowing he must have been sleeping awkwardly last night. He opened the fridge and made himself a sandwich before draining a glass of cold milk.

He found Lillian drying herself off. "I like you better when you're all wet." Joe smiled and hugged her. "Morning." He chimed. "So, how are these feast plans coming along? The idea seems pretty stupid to me now, to be honest." He admitted. "What do you think?" Joe was unsure if things would be stable enough while this pack was still the way it was. Though he wasn't sad, he was just unsure if a feast would solve that.
 
"Stupid?" She swatted him to get him to give her space. "You were the one wanting to get it up and going now." She said as she was upset with him suddenly thinking the idea was good was now stupid. "You were the one who wanted it a secret in the first place." Shaking her head as she stripped out of her clothes then wrapped the towel around herself. "Which is why I called Fiona and Dana earlier to tell the others a picnic is being arranged and everyone needs to bring one pot or so." She said knowing she went against him. "Darling, making it a surprise was a wonderful idea but...Cooking all of this food for everyone while keeping it a secret its to much." She said with her kissing his cheek. "Expectly, when I have one who doesn't know how to cook." She winked at him to show she meant him and she was joking.

"The pack has been busy as hell since they heard of the picnic and trying to get their chores down and get things cooked. Tyson, he's been making large picnic tables as if they were nothing."
 
Joe chuckled and nodded. "Fair enough, Lillian." He said, smiling. His faith in the idea had been restored and he was now looking forward to it. He moved to the kitchen to finish off his sandwich and looked out of the window and into the town. Things seemed nice and calm, quiet and serene.

Joe then turned to look at the pups, he smiled watching them play. He suspected that he'd get used to this whole parenting thing, after all, it wasn't too hard. He drank another glass of milk and walked outside, knowing that Lillian was better off preparing everything herself rather than having him trying to help. Joe would just get in her way. But she was right, it was a lot of work, so he moved out to take care of other things the pack needed, such as hunting for food to store over the winter. Joe moved quickly as he hunted alone.
 
"JOE!" She yelled for him as he just walked outside. "Get your butt back in here." When he did she was standing at the stove with the pups playing. "You can't just suddenly take off on me now. While I cook for this cook out YOU'RE going to watch the pups. I can't do everything all by myself." She said as she wasn't mad or upset with him just walking out. Hell for all she knew he was getting fresh air or trying to get to a quiet spot where he can think. "How about you, pups and Chris go through the city to the other side where there are farms and see about purchasing some rabbits. If the price is good make arrangements on you and Chris picking them up AFTER Tyson has the fence up for them."
 
Joe's mind had blanked. "Who?" He squinted at Lillian. "Which Chris?" There were several Chris's in the pack, even one Christina who went by Chris. "I'll do it but I need to know which one you're talking about." Joe explained as he looked down and scooped up the pups, one in each arm.
