Ratchet smiled at her pulling her close to him as they laid together. "I love you Alora…" He said softly kissing her as he closed his eyes. He was tired but he knew it was strange that Alora could love him. It filled him with warmth, and fear. Fear that he would hurt her.

"I love you too." Alora smiled under Ratchet's lips not pulling away but seeming to love them on hers. She had been having feelings for him for quite some time and she was happy now that they could both let their feelings show. She wasn't really worried that he would hurt her... well she wasn't but her body was... not that she really listened to her body much anymore.

He smiled a her one last time before letting himself fall asleep. He fell into a deep dream. It was a happy one. Of him, Alora and all their kids living together happily. It made him happy to think about it.

Alora smiled as she whached Ratchet fall aleep then cuddled up closer to him and slowly drifted off herself. Her dreams started off happy, loving, peaceful, bright, everything she loved about her good dreams especially when Ratchet was there with her. Then, everything changer. Sometime in the middle of the night Alora started whimpering and crying some in her sleep as her good dream took on a new form going from good to bad to terrifying. The changed didn't agrea with her sleepieness and she didn't wake up... she just laid there curled into Ratchet and not waking.

Ratchet groaned slowly awaking as he heard Alora whimpering. "Alora...Alora..." He called softly gently shaking her. "Wake up...." He commanded gently. He felt worried, it was never a good thing when Alora was whimpering in her sleep. Usually it meant she had a bad dream.

Alora started to wake up a few minutes after Ratchet shook her and looked at him looking slightly releaved that it was him. She seemed to act this way sometimes when she woke up and it was mostly due to her bad dreams which almost always involved either the kids or Ratchet... Callence was never in her dreams anymore... well... almost never.

"Alora....are you alright?" He asked worried. He kissed her head gently. His eyes shone with worry which for Ratchet was odd. It didn't quite seem right on his face. He narrowed his eyes as he searched her face for some hint.

"Yeah... just a bad dream nothing to worry about... it's no where near real." Alora sighed softly though smiled up at Ratchet. His kindness bugged her just a bit... she had never expected him to be so kind. Thruth be told she loved how sturn he was and even how cruel he could be... that baffled her and peaked her curiosity... why did she like that side of him? She just couldn't understand that in the least.

He nodded understanding. "Right well get over it if it's nothing...I'm going to get some food and find the kids....and check the weather...it's time to head home soon I think." He said as he quickly stood heading out. He was starving.

Alora blinked then whached after Ratchet and couldn't help but grin slightly. As long as Ratchet acted in a way that reflected how he used to act she could relax in the thought everything would be fine and everything was right. She slowly got up and went to get changed into some new clothes. She normally had good clean clothes now and none of them were ripped or torn up... other then her jeans though that was normal.

"Hey Reyol you hungry?" Heiwa asked lightly as she looked to see that bracfast was done and she was starving. She looked at Reyol and smiled happily. She had stayed close to him and always stuck up for him... no one went against her for the most part since she was abviously the one that the alpha would kill someone over if they hurt her.

Ratchet walked into the kitchen like he own the place. Which of course....he did. He quickly got food and went sat down to eat. He looked around the room spotting people easily and debated what to do next.

Reyol looked up at Heiwa and nodded softly as his tummy rumbled. He gave a soft Ah sound. He blushed giving a mental giggle.

Delta stared at the two scowling. He nudged Kaji, "Look at them....The two of them are way to close....she's like one of us....the one with power...not....hanging with the omega....I tell you Kaji....when I'm Alpha....little Reyol is gone...." He growled.

Heiwa smiled and hugged Reyol before going up to get them some food. "Poppa!" She squeeled happily and gave Ratchet a quick hug and kiss on the cheak before getting herself and Reyol their food.

Kaji rolled his eyes at that and nodded not arguing with what Delta had said about being alpha. "Yeah... someone really needs to knock him into plase... but we can't do anything... you know dad would kill us if Heiwa got hurt again... we still have marks from last time remember? And you know we can't get her away... too clingy." he growled softly glaring at their younger brother who was waiting for their sister to return.

Ratchet grumbled a bit looking at her. After she left he followed her silently with his eyes. "Hello..." He said more to himself.

Delta growled, "Damnit! I hate this...maybe we should just kill him...regardless of where Heiwa is...." He said thinking at he glared at Reyol. Reyol feeling eyes on him slowly looked up at them looking at them warily. He felt himself shrinking away from their looks fearfully.

"We can't hurt Heiwa" Kaji growled at Delta standing firm on this as he stared at Reyol then looked at his bother thinking of what they could do. "We could always try and get her destracted again... though it might not work since she's smarter now and doesn't get so destracted... how are we supposed to do this? We're pretty much out of rational options... the only other thing we could do would get her hurt more then likely and dad would serriously kill us..." he growled though not at his brother just more of an irritated growl.

Heiwa smiled happily as she walked back to Reyol and sat down with their food. "What's wrong?" she asked him softly seeing the way he seemed to be shrinking away from something or someone.

Delta shoved Kaji a bit. Since the two brothers had begun hanging out with Haren and the others, Delta had really bulked up and became a lot stronger. "Oh just calm down....Dad doesn't like Reyol either.....so he'll help us..." He smirked wickedly.

Reyol shook his head, 'Oh nothing Heiwa....just cold...' He said with a soft smile looking at her.

Kaji shook his head "I don't think he would... I think both mom and Heiwa would stand in his way... And ultamitly our way as well..." he said having the fact that this was more the. Likely true of both their parents and their sister.

Heiwa frowned after taking a few bites "REYOL! don't lie to me! I know you're not telling the truth now what's really the matter?" she asked not liking that she was just lied to in the least.

"Yeah well we're gonna try it…" He said shooting Kaji with a glare. How dare he put down his idea. "Dad will help us…"

Reyol gave a light whine and looked down sheepishly. 'Sorry…but really it's nothing…just the usual…'

Kaji sighed and nodded "Fine... Then are you wanting to go to Haren or do you think we should try talking to dad?" he asked wrinkling his nose as he whached their younger siblings.

Heiwa frowned but nodded "Okay... Just tell me if they're starting to bug you okay?" she said softly to her brother then continued eating and gestured to his food for him to eat as well.

"We should talk to dad first...." Delta said as he began to eat again his eyes closed as he thought. "Then we should go talk with Haren...." He said softly.

Reyol nodded as slowly began to eat. He gave Heiwa a smile letting her know he was okay.

"Okay so when do you think we should ask? I'd say after those two have left or we can get over to dad without Heiwa noticing... you know she'd bug us if she saw us going over there... are you sure dad would help?" Kaji said as he started eating then looked at Delta dully.

"Once the two if them are done eating we go up and ask him. And yes Kaji-baka he will help us." He said wit a roll of his eyes. "Keeping Reyol around makes Dad look weak!"

Kaji stopped eating for a moment to glare at Delta as he was called a baka "And who are you calling a baka?" he growled slightly though then started eating again. "Whatever." he muttered between bites as he stared off into deep space.

Delat smirked at him darkly as he finished eating waiting for Kaji to catch up. "Once you're done well go tell dad..."

Kaji finished just a moment after Delta and nodded. "What are you talking about? I'm already done and only a minute after you... again how are we to get sissy away anyway? Shoot... Mom'll never let this happen... and it looks like she's about to go get some food now..." he growled some as he whached as Alora walked into the eating area and started talking to one of the other female wolves. They just seemed to be having a good conversation and laughing some. She was then destracted by Alex and Missy who came up Missy holding her little girl in her arms.
(you know I'm not gonna make it easy for them to get past Heiwa right XD and of course Alora's gonna try and step in to help X3 )

((love the new avi!!! and yes...yes i know...))

"Damn.....Kaji come on we have to work fast!" He said quickly as he raced to his Dad's table trying to compose himself.

Ratchet raised an eye looking at his two sons as Delta ran towards him. He had a hunch for what this was about. His eyes flickered a bit to Alora then back to his sons his eyes narrowed.
