A Runt Luna novel Chapter 49

"And I'm a Fox." Rory pointed out.

"How do you know?" Kole asked after many moments of silence.

"That's how I know." Rory said gesturing out of the window, as Levi hovered over Rose who fell and started to cry.

Rory made her way outside and tended to her daughter who luckily hadn't broken skin, otherwise they would have problems explaining to Levi why her skin healed in seconds.

"Why don't we go inside and get you cleaned up?" Rory suggested, "Levi, are you able to stay for awhile?"

"Yes ma'am." He nodded politely.

"Good." Rory nodded. "I will call your mom and let her know."

Rory and Kole prepared lunch and fed the kids while they watched a movie. Rory saw the moment that Kole realized the special relationship Levi and Rose had and accepted the real possibility that the human boy was her mate.

"I don't think I can do this." Ian said as he paced back and forth, a worried expression taking over his face as Missy screamed from the bedroom. The screaming didn't help calm his nerves but she insisted on a natural home birth and wouldn't take the offered medicine.

"I'm not ready." He looked to Kole for answers, only to see that he was smiling. "It's not funny!"

"Ian, calm down." Kole said but took a more firm tone, when Ian made no effort to calm himself. "IAN."

Ian stopped moving and turned to his alpha.

"This is only normal. I was a hot mess when Rory gave birth to Rose. You remember, you were there." Kole said remembering the birth of his first child. "You are going to be a great father, but you have to believe in yourself."

"I don't know how to be a father. Mine was a total asshole."

"Yes, he was. No doubt about it. But that just means that you know what not to do." Kole said. "The truth is, that fatherhood doesn't come with a handbook. It will take a lot of mess ups, but every single of those mess-ups will help you grow. But I'm telling you, if you don't get into that room and help your mate deliver your child; not only will you be in a world of hurt, but you will regret missing it."

"Right! You're right." Ian nodded. "Thank you."

Kole was taken back when Ian wrapped him in a hug and took off into the bedroom that Missy was delivering in. He turned around and saw that Rory was watching him with a smile on her face and happy tears in her eyes.

"You did good." She smiled.

"Thanks." Kole said, leaning down to receive her kiss.
