Faye smiled as she enjoyed his embrace and his kisses. "How about this, there was no way either of us could have predicted that this would have happened. And I don't blame you for killing him. It was the humane thing to do since he probably would have sought ways to kill himself anyway. Or in the very least, he would have stopped caring stopped living. Arden may be upset with you but I don't blame him for wanting revenge either. But you're not his puppet, Arden can't order you or me around like that." She stated. For that fact alone she was grateful that they weren't a part of this pack. Arden being their alpha, Isaac would have been forced to obey or be kicked out, exiled and to leave their territory forever.

Faye then dropped to her knees as she felt this gut wrenching pain all throughout her body, almost like when she first transformed. Her bones popped and cracked as they bend and reformed into a wolf. The dress was ripped off of her from the transformation. Realizing what had happened, she looked up at Isaac and whimpered as she lowered her ears. "What's going on? Why am I a wolf?! I don't want to be a wolf, change back! Please body, change back!" She pleaded.

Alice knocked on the door then let herself in with a huge tray full of food. "Here, I thought you two might want some meat. We just killed the deer not too long before you two arrived and had some left over so..." She then noticed Faye was a wolf and smiled as she smelled the scent of a fetus having been formed. "Oh, you two must be excited! This is so exciting! I was wondering if you two could um...well, it's not really my business but I'm glad to see that you're able to!" She was being vague since the topic wasn't something she really felt comfortable with talking to others about in great detail. "A-anyway, I'm sure you two want to celebrate alone so I will just leave!" Alice sat the tray down. "Oh, but you should have our healer look at you just to give you a check up."

[ml1201]

Isaac smiles, understanding what Faye means, but then frowns when she suddenly turns into a wolf. He's still trying to figure out what's going on when Alice enters, he tries to ask her what's going on, but doesn't get the chance to because she seems really excited about something.

"Wait, Alice, what do you-" but she's gone. Sighing he scratches at his head in frustration. "Well, might as well eat since it seems the healer knows what's going on. If Alice isn't worried, then I guess its not something to worry about. I know you don't like being in wolf form, but there must be a reason." Picking up the tray he sits down on the floor so that they can eat next to each other to eat.

After they finish eating and Isaac picks up the torn pieces of the dress, then opens the door to let Faye out. He has to cover his eyes because of how bright the light is, causing them to water. He might not burn in the sun anymore, but his eyes still hurts when he's not wearing his glasses. Looking around he sees a towel, wrapping it around his head to form a hood to protect his eyes.

"Alright, let's try to find this healer..." Going up to the first person he sees he tries to ask them. "Hello, I was wondering where your healer is? There seems to be something going on with my mate, she suddenly turned into a wolf and neither of us knows why this has happened. Though Alice didn't seem concerned..."

[Rozen]

Faye looked at Isaac and whimpered. She nuzzled her head into him and only through sheer starvation did she eat. She didn't like to eat off the floor, even if there was a tray underneath, it just made her feel too much like an animal.

Sniffing the air, she covered her nose. "First off, she's pregnant. You can't smell that? Well, it's not like you're actually a wolf. But the healer is down that way, all the way at the end there." The lady pointed in the direction of where they were headed. It wasn't hard to see where she was talking about, this community was rather small. There were just twenty to thirty houses, half on one side, another half on the other side. The healer's was the only one that wasn't on the side, along with Alice's and Arden's home. Those were in the middle of the end of the road which made the houses all lined up in some sort of square. The lady glared at Isaac knowing exactly what he was. "If Alpha and Luna hadn't welcomed you two into the pack, we would run you out of here. And how can an insect like the two of you possibly call each other mates? Your kind is incapable of love!" She snapped.

Faye growled. Of course they were mates, of course they were capable of love! How dare she think otherwise, she didn't know thing one about them so how could she say such a thing based on what they were? Did she forge that they were also wolves just like her? But the only thing that made her relax was when it finally hit her that she was pregnant. She was pregnant, with Isaac's child. Looking up at Isaac, she wagged her tail and barked excitedly. They were going to be parents! The pain from last night just melted away with the news.

[ml1201]

"Smell? I only just was able to become a wolf last night, and my sense of smell is...different from what I'm used to so I can't really tell." Then it sinks in, he's going to be a father. But what the werewolf says next quickly snaps him out of it, raising a brow at her. "You're referring to something solely vampire, which we are not. We're a combination of werewolf and vampire, and probably the first of such a thing. And were are not members of the pack, we're just friends and helping each other get rid of a common problem, which is Gabriel. My mate and I do not intend to cause any problems for your pack, if anything Arden and Alice has been very helpful to us in this situation. I might not agree with some of the things he does, but it was a matter of the pack so I only did what I was allowed and that was it. I just don't like people suffering because I'm a doctor, its my job to help people and I take it to heart. I might be a fool, but I'd rather be a kind fool than a heartless fool like most vampires." Closing his eyes he pulls back the towel to show her his ears, to prove he wasn't just a vampire. "Either way, thank you for the directions." Smiling, he pets and scratches Faye affectionately as the head in the healer's direction.

"I'd like to keep the baby's sex a surprise, I don't even know if werewolves can even tell what sex the baby will be. I'm hoping I can learn a few things from this healer to help with the pregnancy and the birth." Then he realizes that with a baby coming they'd need more room in the basement, which made Issac wonder if they should just move into a new house or something since it would take a lot of work to make room in the basement for everyone.

[Rozen]

"I know exactly what you are and you're still just a vampire to us. That's all. You don't belong here." She sneered. She didn't care about his ears or any of that, she could smell that. But she could also smell that he was a vampire and she really didn't like the thought of her race and a vampire becoming one entity.

Faye didn't like that woman but she was just so happy that they were going to be parents. "This is amazing! I can't believe it!" She said mentally to Isaac without knowing. "But...don't wolves have more than one pup can't they get up to like six? Six pups...Yeah, I really hope we don't end up with six. One, two at the most." She shook her head at the idea. When they got to the healers, it was an elderly lady who was very short, just a little over five feet tall, hunched over with a wooden cane to help her walk. She had her ears and tail out. "Come in, Luna told me you would be coming. Though I do not approve of what the two of you are, I'm still going to help since you're also part wolf and Luna asked me to. Can't really refuse her." She smiled at the two. "Now, lay on the bed." She told Faye without realizing that she couldn't see. Faye whimpered and looked up at Isaac to help her out.

[ml1201]

At her comment about how many pups wolves have, Isaac can't help but giggle, smiling at how happy Faye was. He replaces the towel over his head to protect his eyes from the sun and leads Faye to the healer's home. When the healer is not as gruff with him as the other werewolf he can't help but sigh in relief, "It's not like we intended to become this way, it just...happened. I'm just thankful that you're willing to help, I only know how to help with human child birth, so anything you can explain to me about this will be useful to me." Knowing that Faye still can't really see inanimate objects he guides her over to the bed in question, petting her along her back to help her relax.

"I was told there's a smell that the fetus produces, but I don't know which smell that is. What does it smell like? Is it the same for every werewolf or does it differ? Are werewolves able to tell the difference in sex by smell? I'm hoping to be surprised to be honest, but I'm curious about everything. I want to learn everything I can to make the pregnancy as easy as possible for Faye." He sits down on the bed next to her, out of the way of the healer as he scratches her ears, unconsciously wanting to keep her in contact.

[Rozen]

The elder woman nodded. "Yes, that's a given seeing as how meshing of the two creatures usually end up in death. I'm actually quite amazed that the two of you were able to become both. And I heard that her brother is also like that." She listened to Isaac's comments and concerns. "First off, they usually have a light scent in the beginning and you can't tell the gender until later in the pregnancy. But usually wolves have more than one pup and usually have both boy and girl." She explained. "The smell is rather hard to describe but it's kinda sweet smelling but very faint until later on down the pregnancy." She told him. "And make sure to mind link with her often if you're able to, to talk with her. You should be able to do that now since it seems like the two of you have been mated properly." She stated and then continued to explain more things. "Well, I don't really know how human babies are born but pups, you see, when they are first born, there's this sac that needs to be cleaned off of them immediately. Usually the mother licks it off since it helps bond the mother and the pup. The father can help also and it will establish who their parents are in their mind and they will know your scents so they know who their parents are. So it's very crucial for then to know what you smell like. And they are usually born blind and they can't hear so that sense of smell is very important. it will take a few weeks before they will be able to see and hear though. Then, once they are in their toddler years, that's when they will start to develop their human side and try to turn. They would be able two or three years of age in human form. It's important to make sure the mother is very comfortable because giving birth can be a long process if there's many." She paused to catch her breath since it was a lot to say for her.

Faye had a hard time paying attention as she was just enjoying Isaac scratching her ear. No wonder dogs loved that a lot.

[ml1201]

At first Isaac is confused about the mind link thing, then occurs to him she's probably referring to how they can hear one another's thoughts. Do you want to think of some names together my love? We can make a list of names we like for both boys and girls and decide when the baby or babies are born what names we like. When the healer mentions it possibly being a long process he nods in understanding.

"Some humans, depending on if they are having difficulty, can take over a day to give birth to one baby, so I understand where you're coming from. What do the mothers of the pack usually prefer for comfort when giving birth? I want an idea of what would work best to hopefully make Faye comfortable. Also, since she's pregnant now, should I avoid letting her roam around on her own? What with how the new moon is still affecting everyone and she still has a bit of a hard time not just killing anything that smells like prey. I don't want her to get hurt or the baby, so I'm concerned about tonight." Now that he thinks about it, he wonders why Gabriel was looking so hard for Lilith and trying to revive her. He looked like he had no soul, maybe he wanted to fight someone as powerful as her because she basically had no soul left herself? He pushes those thoughts aside as he focuses on what the healer says.

"I hope I can learn to shift soon, I think being in wolf form will help ease the stress she feels being in wolf form herself. She doesn't really like being in wolf form, she feels that its lowering her in some way. I don't think it does, she's still my Faye, but I don't want her being the only one like this if it makes her feel so miserable."

[Rozen]

Faye wagged her tail. Yeah! That sounds good. For some reason she kept thinking about what Lilith had told them earlier about finally getting that family. Hey, Lilith said that she always wanted a happy family and that her letting me have her power would give her that family. Do you think she found it? Faye didn't even understood where Lilith even came from in her mind.

The elderly lady smiled. "Well, having a giant comfortable bed for them to give birth on will help. Or a really large pillow. And maybe having some things that she likes to eat would help her also. And just be there for her." She explained. "Don't worry about the moon. Very rarely are mothers affected by it. Maybe because she just became pregnant, she has a slight chance of being affected but there's also a good chance that she will be fine. The Moon Goddess made sure that the moon doesn't affect the mother to keep both mother and pup safe." She explained.

"Yes, usually the men would shift to be with their mates." She agreed. "Well, she was human before right? That's why she has the ears and tail. She's not used to this kind of world I presume and thinks that she should eat from the table and not the floor. Eating from the floor is what dogs do. That's why we make a small table so when they are in their wolf forms, they aren't eating from their plates on the floor, they are still eating at their table. Just one that they can reach. She explained. "Maybe if you change even that much, she will be happier."

[ml1201]

Maybe she's able to move on to the next world were she can be with her Adam maybe? That would at least be some kind of family for her even if she couldn't have children. Though I don't know for certain what she meant. At the mention of the large bed he's glad he had already finished making the new bed for them, since that would definitely make her comfortable now. When he hears about how Faye will most likely not be affected he can't help but sigh in relief.

"Well, I hope when that time comes I'll be able to shift on my own. Making a low table shouldn't be hard to make, I've made other more difficult things than that. Will you be able to tell us around when the baby will be born? I know with humans the pregnancy usually lasts around nine months, sometimes less or more, but that's the average. I have no clue what it is for werewolves. Actually, I don't even know what it is for normal wolves, if that matters at all."

[Rozen]

Faye nodded hoping that was it. She hate to think that Lilith couldn't be with her Adam, it would have been rather sad otherwise, even if she didn't like her.

"You should be able to with practice. Also, if you get emotional, that can also trigger it, especially aggression but I would be careful if you turn because of aggression. It has the same effects as though it was a full moon outside but it doesn't last nearly as long." Sh warned. "Well, it takes on average three months for wolves to give birth. But seeing as you two are half wolves and half vampire, I really can't say for sure when she will be able to give birth. But on a side note, when you're getting to the end of your life, the two of you may revert into wolves. I'm barely able to keep in my human form as it is. I can't even hide my tail and ears anymore. I shouldn't even have my human form right now but, I somehow still do." She smiled, the wrinkles pushed together from it. "And where are my manners? I'm Charlotte." She bowed her head slightly at the two with a few strands of her gray hair falling into her face.

[ml1201]

"Hm...I'll have to keep that in mind. I don't normally have much of a temper but I have noticed that I have more of one now that I'm part werewolf. Three months? That's really short, so she might have a short pregnancy as well then...Might there be a way to tell how far along she is visually? Or is that another smell thing like with her being pregnant? And in old age I wouldn't mind that, that is if we age like werewolves do." He didn't want to tell her that Faye is an Eve and that he might be an Adam. Isaac gives her a bow when she introduces herself, "I'm Isaac Crawford and my mate Faye Crawford." Since they were mates he figures using his last name for Faye should be fine, at least for now if Faye doesn't like it. They could always come up with a new last name together later on if need be.

"Is there no one else trained to be a healer? I would have thought that since you're getting on in age you would have had an apprentice by now. What will the pack do if there isn't one and you're gone? I could offer my assistance if the pack needs it, but sadly I don't think the pack likes us being here at all. They probably would have killed us if it wasn't for Arden and Alice." His eyes are sorrowful as he thinks about it, shaking his head at the thought. "I guess that's to be expected since werewolves and vampires have had a grudge against one another for a very long time. It is what it is I guess." Thinking about all the fighting is depressing to him, there was more anger and hatred in this world than he thought, and people not willing to try and understand one another.

[Rozen]

Faye wasn't really bothered by using his last name. In fact, she had always thought of her last name as being Crawford anyway since Isaac was like a father to her but now, it was quite different. Her love for him was a passionate love and was happy that he was her mate. That fatherly figure was gone from her mind and all she saw was her mate. You raised me for a long time. I think of Crawford as my last name already. She said hoping that Isaac was able to receive the message. She wasn't sure how to use the mind link and hoped that she did it right.

"Of course there is. But my granddaughter is busy." Charlotte explained. She then began to do a full physical. "Yes, and that's normal. You're going to experience changes with emotions that you're probably not used to. You're newly turned so this is just the start of your transformation. It might get rough for you later though." She warned. "No, they don't like you but don't mind them. The longer you're around, the more they will grow to like you. Most of them weren't even around when our war with the vampires even ended." She shook her head in shame. "I lived for a thousand years, if not longer and even I can't bring myself to hate the whole vampire race." Charlotte smiled at the young loving mates.

[ml1201]

His mind is filled with joy, and he tries to send that through their link, wanting her to know how happy that made him. Then he nods his head in understanding to Charlotte, "Good, I'm glad that you have help. And change I can probably tolerate, I've had to change my home constantly for a long time and I'm quite use to it by now. Though like you said, it will probably be hard for me with my emotions." He listens to her words about the others, wrapping his arms around Faye to give her a hug as tears sneak out from the corner of his eyes. Isaac was just so happy he couldn't contain himself, "Thank you, I'm glad you're at least accepting of me. To be honest I hated being a vampire, the first fifty years being nothing but torture for me, but those days are behind me now and I want to start a new life with Faye." Nuzzling his face into her fur, he takes comfort in her scent.

[Rozen]

Charlotte smiled at the two young mates. "The only ones who would truly love being a vampire is someone who's very sadistic. Who enjoys making others feel pain. And i think even us wolves are no better than them. But there is good and bad in every species, vampire, wolf, and human alike." She explained and smiled at them.

Faye nuzzled her head into him as she wagged her tail and licked his face. "I'm really happy. But... What if something happens to one of our children because our other one doesnt help their sibling and ultimately did. I'm worried i might act like my parents and i never want to be like them. I dont want to hate any of our children no matter what."

[ml1201]

Do not worry, I won't let such a thing happen, even if we end up fighting because of it. Letting her go he stands, "We probably should get going. Since Alice was excited about the whole thing, I think we should officially tell them the good news. Charlotte, I take it that Arden's and Alice's home is next door? It would only make sense that the most important figures would be near one another." Isaac helps Faye get down so that she doesn't knock her head into anything. "I just hope their son is not there. Faye is very much not pleased with him, and I hope he doesn't try anything now that Faye is with child." He scratches her ear affectionately, enjoying her presence.

"Thank you for everything Charlotte, we'll be taking our leave now." Holding the door open for Faye he leads her outside and to the other home at the end, which he presumed was Alice's and Arden's home. Knocking a few times he waits a bit nervously for the door to be answered. After what happened last night he thought Arden might still be mad about what happened and how they didn't agree on how to deal with Lucien.
