"SKÖLL!! SKÖLL!!"
I Jump out of the dining room chair knocking it over, rush into the living room and jump over the couch, slide into the wall hitting the corner of the bin in the hall to run down it and reach the bedroom door where my wife was sitting on the sitting on tan ottoman in the corner of the room;

"WHAT WHAT'S WRONG IS THE BABY COMING!" I ask her full of worry from screaming my name from before.

She smiles at me shaking her head; "nothing's wrong I was only testing you to see how fast you would get here"
I raise my eyebrow at her more confused than angry from her scaring me like that; "A woman can have their baby any moment so the husband has to always be prepare no matter what"

I roll my eyes at her and walk into the room and pick her up into my arms then sit down into the Ottoman and hold her in my arms. I kiss her on her lips and push her hair back; "well do me a favor and never do that again please" She smiles laughing at me with her cute little smile, but it then fades into a painful frown. She then reaches her hands to her stomach breathing slowly, I sit her up more concerned based on the on the position that she was in it doesn't seem to do much so I become worried; "What's wrong?" she gives me a quick smile; "He's just kicking and it hurts a bit..I'm fine though" I put my hand on her stomach feeling it move up in down with sharp movements; "Maybe he's dreaming or something" I try to lighten the mood it doesn't do much to her comfort zone but she laughs a bit so it's something.

"Mommy, Daddy!"

I look up to see my older son Rufus standing there at age 5 years old with his stuffed animal Pluto from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and his footie pajamas with his thumb in his mouth which I been trying to break habit of for the past 2 years; "Mommy ok?" I smile at him; "Yeah mommy's fine your brother's just kicking" "Can I feel him?" My wife sits up to a more supported position leaning on me; "Come here sweetie I'll show you where he's kicking..." He comes trotting over placing his small hand on her belly than she places her on top moving it to a different position; "You feel him?" He hesitates for a minute and starts laughing; "What's he doing in there?!" Scar smiles at him; "he's dreaming" He looks at me with his goofy smile than back at his mother; "He must be dreaming of soccer and keeps missing the ball!"

Scarlett bursts out laughing causing my son and me to join right in. I eventually swung him up into my arms and take him and my wife placing them in bed with them both in my arms, are night ends with goofy theories of what are future son and new member of the family is dreaming about with all of us drifting off to sleep huddled up with one another.

April 25th

"Ok you got to keep low and quiet...arch your back...annnd pounce!" My now six-year-old son takes off running leaping onto my now 6mouth year old son pinning him to the ground; "I got him dad!" I smile at him; "That's my boy!...Now get off your brother before your mother comes home" he jumps up off him and leaps up on to the couch and begins jumping up and down on it.

I get up off the ground picking up Aurlk onto his feet, he smiles at me baring his one baby tooth reaching his hands out to me; "What's up little man?" I hold him up into the air making faces at him while he laughs and tries to grab hold of my face. "Sköll sweetie, what are you doing?" I look at my wife standing there with grocery bags in her arms trying to close the door.
I sit Aurlk down into his playpen and grab the bags out of her hands and take them into the kitchen. She comes in next to me taking stuff out of the bags then kisses me on the lips; she then continue putting stuff into the refrigerator "How were the kids?"

"Good I taught Rufus how to pounce today he's getting better, but he needs more work"

I say her handing her the last bag of groceries, she laughs and smiles at; "Honey he's only six-year-old what you expect"

"Well I caught my first pray at 6 months" I smile at her puffing out my chest and she raises her eyebrow at me; "and let me guess you caught some injured mammal" she's while pulling at a few pots and pans; I look at her with disbelief "HA woman you must take me as a joke I caught a whole badger with my own two hands"

"What kind of badger!?" says my son Rufus who is standing on the leg of the chair; "Well lets see here, it was a honey badger the fattest one there was!"

"Wooow!! How u find it?"

"Me and my Pa were out searching for a buck and I caught his sent from deep down in his den under ground, I grab hold of his throat and tear-"

"OK! Rufus sweetie go get ready for dinner ok"

"Yes mama" He walks into the other room and I shrug at her; "What was that-"

"Can you not be so damn graphic with him, he's only six" she says putting the cooked spaghetti into the strainer; "And second of all we both known that badger was a damn baby!"

"Well Scarlett you see it's called extending the truth" She rolls her eyes at me; "Ok but that doesn't excuse the fact-"

"MOM DAD COME QUICK ALURK STANDING!"

"What!" my wife yells and Me and her rush into the living room with my eldest son standing on the couch pointing to my youngest standing up straight in the middle of the room smiling, I bend down to a lower position holding out my hands to him; "Come on Alurk come to daddy" He let's out scream of delight and reaches he's hand out towards me grasping hold of the air; "Come on Alurk!" Rufus jumps down off the couch and runs and stands next to him; "One foot after the another" He steps with his right foot a few times Alurk starts to copy him; "There you go Rufus" Rufus starts taking small steps forward while Alurk tries his best to follow him;

"Come Alurk you got this sweetheart"

My wife says while resting her hand on my shoulder squeezing it. Alurk reaches his hands out towards us and starts walking towards barley wobbling nor falling over, He almost takes off into a run for a bit then falls into my arms, I swing him up in my arms in amazement; "THAT'S MY BOY!!" I wife jumps on my arm smiling at him with a small scream of happiness; "YAY ALURK!" Rufus yells and I swop him up in my other arm holding them close with my wife next to me kissing them and me on my lips....

From there my youngest son kept impressing me more and more as he grew. A month later he caught a baby red fox, that same month he started talking. Ages 2,4, and 6 he won all his wolf fights with other wolves from different packs. Come age 8 I officially set him as my successor for the savage pack....

With having that in place I took to the wolf war in the northern Melville Island and Ellesmere Island. And that was the last time I saw m oldest son age 13 and youngest at age 8....As well as my beautiful wife that I will strongly miss...
