"He's our little gift" Okami said. Ash reached up and pawed at Jake.

Jake smiled and licked Ash's head. "He looks like you," he said with a smile.

"But he's got his father's personality" Ash then started chasing his tail.

Jake chuckled. Kita walked into the den. "knock knock. How is the little cub," she asked with a smile.

Ash stopped and ran up to Kita, jumping on her back. "Full of energy" Okami said with a smile.

Kita laughed a bit. Kiara came running in as well. "aww its so cute," she said.

Ash jumped on Kiara's head.

Kiara giggled. "you are adorable," she said with a smile.

Ash nommed her ears. "He's our little bundle of joy" Okami said happily.

"i see why," she giggled.

Ash ran over to Okami. "Mommy" he said.

"his first word," jake siad with a proud smile.

"That's my smart little boy" Okami nuzzled Ash. Ash turned to Jake. "Daddy"

Jake smiled and licked ash's head. "That's right. i'm your daddy," he said with a smile.

There was a camotion outside.

"Stay here you guys," Kita said then went outside to see what was going on.

Dark coyotes were attacking the village.

Kita let out a how and ran towards the coyotes and attacked. "Stay here my dear," Jake said and ran off and attacked as well.

Okami guarded Ash. Ash peeked outside and saw the battle.

Jake tackled a coyote and twisted it's neck.

Ash got scared and hid. Some coyotes approached Okami, but she destroyed them with a lighting storm.

Jake attacked as many coyotes as he could.

The coyotes retreated. Ash lay shivering under Okami.

Jake watched the coyote's leave but then she noticed Kita was on the ground. "Kita!" he said running over to her. Kiara heard Jake yell her mothers name and dashed from the den.

Okami and Ash both ran over to Kita.
