Shawn asked bob "Well the problem is the oldest boy won't stay in his human form, he is so freaked out and protective of his siblings he slips into his wolf form to protect them" bob explained. "So you want them up here out of the way?" Shawn asked feeling a little frustrated. "Not out of the way Shawn.... just somewhere safe" Bob told him. "Okay... okay... when and where do we pick them up?" Shawn asked knowing that this was gonna happen whether he liked it or not. "In the morning from my house... I would keep them but we live too close to humans and frankly I am too old to be raising cubs... can you bring Taylor as well, they will feel safer having another cub there when you pick them up" Bob asked. "Sure..." Shawn replied as Tess took the phone from him. "Bob... how old are they?" Tess asked sternly. "Oh... er... hi Tess... they are nine, seven and six... all boys" Bob replied. "You know Taylor is 13 now?... we'll bring Marcus too, he is closer to their ages" Tess replied firmly. "Oh... he's the boy that moved next door?" Bob replied remembering that he had consulted about that family buying the old wolf's property. "Yes... and he is very close to Taylor and knows about us being wolf's" Tess told him. "That didn't take long" chuckled Bob knowing that Marcus family had already been approved to be told about wolves at Tess's request. "No it didn't... but he is very accepting as is his dad, so we will bring him to help reassure the cubs" Tess explained. "That's fine... I trust you with making the right decisions, will your flood survivors be a problem?" Bob asked. "No... we want to tell them soon anyway... they can be trusted too" Tess told him. "Ok well I trust your judgement..." Bob replied knowing that Shawn would never trust anyone without good reason. Normally the CWA would be consulted before a human was told about were-wolves, this was to try and keep everyone safe. It was arranged to pick them up at ten am in the morning and Bob gave them a little more history about the cubs. "So what are you going to tell Toni about borrowing Marcus?" Shawn asked after bob had hung up. "The truth..." Tess replied. "What about Sandy, Rhett and Reed?" Shawn asked. "Them too... it's better to tell them now than them see something unexpected and freak out" Tess explained feeling confident that everyone would be ok if things were explained properly. Tess sent Dan a message telling him not to pick the boys up for school, she said it was wolf stuff. Dan text back with an "ok" Shawn got up as did Tess, both unable to sleep now. They had a coffee and set about turning Parker's old room into the new cubs room. Parker's belongings which remained were boxed up and put into the garage, the double bed in the cubs new room was stripped and clean linen fitted. The room was not dirty, it just had not been lived in for some time. By six am the room was clean and ready for it's new occupants, toys from when Taylor was younger were taken out of storage and placed in the room for the cubs to use. The toys had been kept for future grand-kids. Shawn found himself outside looking over the swing hanging from a tree, while he was making sure it was safe the weight of taking on 3 new cubs hit home. He thought Taylor would be their last child and had resigned himself to that, but now he had 3 new children coming, but far from seeing them as a chore he saw this as an opportunity to be a more chilled out dad. As he had gotten older he had wished sometimes seeing Patrick with Marcus and Taylor that he had been more relaxed and less uptight, he had raised his boys well but had not been as close to them as Patrick was to Marcus. Shawn vowed to be more chilled with the new cubs and closer to them if they let him. "You ok?" Tess asked joining Shawn. "Yeah... just thinking is all" Shawn replied smiling. "Well we better head down to Patrick's" Tess said giving Shawn a hug. Tess and Shawn drove down to Patrick's house just as Patrick and Toni were getting up. Patrick let them in while Toni grabbed a quick shower. Tess explained quickly what was going on and Patrick agreed to telling Toni and the others about the wolf stuff. Toni came downstairs and Patrick guided her to the sofa. "There is something important that we need to tell you about" Patrick said softly. "Ok... but right now?" Toni asked not wanting to be late for work. "Sorry Toni... it can't wait" Tess said gently. "Ok shoot" Toni replied all ears. "First promise not to freak out and be open minded" Patrick said holding Toni's hand. "With everything going on here I think I am pretty open minded" Toni chuckled nervously. Taylor upstairs could hear what was being said, he woke Marcus up quickly and quietly. "What?..." Marcus whined as Taylor shook him. "Your mum is just about to be told about wolves" Taylor whispered making sure Ryan was asleep. "What?... why?" Marcus asked confused. "Don't know... something must have happened for them to be telling her now" Taylor surmised a little worried. "Are you hearing this Jared?" Taylor whispered. "Yeah" Jared replied also making sure Ryan was asleep as he cuddled him. "Maybe you should go help" Jared added thinking Toni might be less inclined to freak out with the boys there. Patrick looked at Toni in the eyes. "There are things in this world most people don't know about, they are not things that are bad or dangerous, just things that are normally kept secret to prevent non-open-minded people from freaking out" Patrick explained. "Ok" Toni replied unsure of what was going on. "Honey... were-wolves are real... they are regular people like you and me but they can also turn into wolves" Patrick explained. Toni burst out laughing as she thought Patrick was just joking around. "Ok... enough of your daft jokes... I have to get to work..." Toni said as Marcus walked into the room in his boxer shorts. Everyone looked at him as he urged Taylor to follow him. Toni stared as she saw a young wolf follow Marcus into the lounge. Marcus led the wolf over to Toni and sat in her lap. "Don't freak out ok" Marcus told her as he kissed her cheek. Toni watched as the wolf lay down and changed into a human, she looked on as a naked Taylor appeared before her eyes. Everyone looked at Toni to see what her reaction would be. Taylor stood up his hands covering his penis as he looked sheepishly at Toni. Marcus reached out his hand and beckoned Taylor over to him and Toni, he approached slowly feeling some apprehension. Once in reach Marcus took his mums hand and placed it on Taylor's chest. "He's just Taylor mummy..." Marcus said softly. "He's still the boy we love and care for... just he is a wolf too" Patrick said as he pulled Taylor into his lap next to Toni. Toni looked around the room and saw the worry in her friends and families eyes. She was feeling shocked and surprised, she growing up had heard rumours about were-wolves but figured they were just stories. But here was Taylor, a boy she loved and had known all his life who was a were-wolf. She looked at Taylor and saw the fear in his eyes. "Aww honey... don't be worried ok?... I am just surprised" Toni told Taylor as she reached out and stroked his cheek. Taylor put his hand over hers and held it to his face. Her love for Taylor had won out, The wolf thing was still a shock and would take some time to fully get used to, but she loved Taylor and would accept him whatever he was. Marcus grinned as he saw his mum accepting Taylor and the wolf stuff. "You wanna go put some clothes on?" Toni chuckled as she smiled at Taylor. Taylor nodded his head yes and smiled back, Marcus got off his mums lap and took Taylor's hand, the two boys headed back upstairs to get dressed. Toni looked over at Shawn and Tess. "I guess that means your wolves too?" she asked softly. "Yes... we wanted to tell you a long time ago... but its a big thing to do" Tess explained. "I can imagine... and you knew already?" Toni asked Patrick. "Yeah sorry honey... I found out by accident... obviously Marcus knows too" Patrick replied. "Ok... so why now... what's going on?" Toni asked looking at Tess. Tess explained about the cubs as Patrick and Toni listened, Taylor and Jared listened too from upstairs. Shawn looked towards the ceiling "You can tell Ryan" he said knowing Jared could hear them. Patrick explained about the good hearing the wolves had as Toni looked confused again. While the adults downstairs talked some more upstairs Taylor, Marcus and Jared were surprised that three new cubs were coming to stay, Marcus and Taylor were excited while Jared was worried, he knew it was going to be a difficult and emotional time for all with the cubs having just lost their parents. "We should wake Ryan up and tell him" Marcus said excitedly. "Tell me what?" Ryan asked groggily as he woke up. "Well there is a few things" Jared said as he cuddled the now sitting up Ryan. Marcus and Taylor sat around Ryan close enough for their bodies to touch. "Ryan.. you love us right... all of us?" Taylor asked. "Of course I do silly!" Ryan said reaching out and putting his hand on Taylor's knee. "Even if me and Taylor were were-wolves?" Jared said before playfully chewing on Ryan's neck making him laugh. "Sure... you goon!" Ryan said giggling still thinking Jared was joking. "Promise?" Taylor said leaning into Ryan's face. "Promise!" Ryan said grinning as he quickly kissed Taylor's lips. "Go on then" Jared said to Taylor as he held Ryan a little tighter. Marcus moved closer to Ryan's side and held his hand as Taylor moved on the bed to lay down in-front of them all. He started to change into his wolf form as slower as possible to make it less dramatic, he wanted to try and make it as least scary as he could. Ryan watched silently as his hand was gently squeezed by Marcus and Jared held him tight, his eyes danced around as he tried to see every part of Taylor as his friend turned into a wolf. Once fully turned Taylor lay still trying not to scare Ryan. Suddenly Ryan turned to face Jared. "Can you do that too?" Ryan asked excitedly and grinning. "Yes..." Jared replied relived to see Ryan was not freaking out. "THATS SO COOL!" Ryan squealed loudly. Downstairs even the humans could hear things were going well upstairs. "You wanna see?" Jared asked smiling now as Taylor got up and licked Ryan's face excitedly. "Yeah!" Ryan giggled as he tried to fend of Taylor. Jared moved away from the others a little and changed into his wolf form a lot quicker than Taylor did. As soon as he was changed Ryan was all over him cuddling him and running his fingers through Jared's fur. The boys were all so excited they didn't hear Reed coming in to see what all the noise was about, he stared at them as one by one they noticed his presence, the room went silent as they looked at Reed. "Aww man... it's too early to be finding out your were-wolves... I'm going back to bed" Reed said shaking his head and smiling. As he turned to leave Patrick appeared in the doorway after being alerted by Shawn hearing Reed moving around. "You ok with this?" Patrick asked quickly. "Sure... not the first were-wolves I've met and probably not the last" chuckled a still sleepy Reed. "You've met wolves before?" Ryan asked grabbing his uncles hand. "Sure... me and your dad... your mum hasn't but she knows about them after we told her" Reed replied surprising everyone, including Shawn and Tess who were listening from downstairs. "But how?" asked Jared as he sat on the bed. "Job we did a few years ago... a young'un like Taylor couldn't keep from changing while he slept... we happened to see him change as we worked on the house and he fell asleep near us... his parents realised we had seen and explained it all to us... really nice people they were too... so anyway it's all good" Reed said ruffling Ryan's hair lovingly. Taylor moved over to Reed and rubbed against his legs, Reed looked down and smiled, he gently stroked Taylor's fur along his back and head. "Your just as cute as a wolf" Reed chuckled. Patrick like everyone was surprised and very relieved, he hugged Reed and Marcus joined in too. "Okay... okay... it's still too early... I'm going back to bed" chuckled Reed as he freed himself from his huggers. Reed left them and went back to bed, Patrick even though he was still shocked about how Reed had reacted remembered about the cubs. "Your parents need you to go with them to pick up the cubs... you too Marcus" Patrick explained. "Can I go too?" Ryan asked excitedly. "Probably... I'll ask Tess... so get dressed ok?" Patrick looking at all of them. Jared and Taylor quickly changed back into human form while Patrick, Marcus and Ryan watched. "Your a lucky boy" chuckled Patrick as he and Ryan stared at a now naked Jared. Jared blushed a little knowing he was being admired. "Hey!... what about me?" Marcus giggled. "Your lucky too... you both have very cute boyfriends" chuckled Patrick playfully. Patrick left them to get dressed and headed back downstairs, knowing Shawn and Tess could hear him he had chosen his words carefully, what he wanted to say was that Jared was damn hot. Downstairs the adults talked briefly before Toni and Patrick had to leave for work, Tess made some breakfast for the boys while Shawn sat on the sofa, before long Ryan jumps into his lap surprising him. "Are you a wolf too?" the boy asked excitedly. "Yes... a big bad wolf... and I like to eat little people like you!" he said growling playfully. Ryan squealed as Shawn tickled him, Jared watched and loved seeing his father being so playful and loving towards his little boyfriend. Tess called them to the table and gave them food. Tess told Ryan he could come too as Patrick had mentioned that he had asked, although she had heard him ask anyway. After breakfast they all left except Jared who stayed to help Rhett and Reed work on the basement, he was sure he would also be answering questions about wolf stuff too. Tess talked to the boys on the way to pick up the cubs about what the cubs had been through, she mention that the older cub was very protective towards his siblings. Taylor said they would ask him first for permission to play with his siblings. Tess said she thought that would be a good idea, she assured them that the older cub would calm down and trust them quickly. She knew and explained that it must be hard for a nine year old to suddenly find himself the alpha for his little brothers, but assured them he would soon let Shawn take over and go back to being a little boy. They just needed to gain their trust. After over two hours of driving they reached Bobs house, it was on the edge of the town but not secluded at all. When they arrived they could hear growling coming from the house, well not Marcus and Ryan as they only had human hearing. Taylor looked up as they stood outside the car stretching and he saw two small eyes and the furry face of a wolf looking down at them from an upstairs window. As Taylor waved he saw two small human faces appear next to the wolf who he assumed was the oldest cub, he could see and sense the fear and sadness coming from them. He felt Marcus and Ryan take hold of his hands as they all looked up, he wasn't sure how this was going to go and started to wonder if bringing Marcus and Ryan was the right thing to do. The front door opened and an old man came out, he had a large bushy brown beard with matching hair and Ryan thought he looked like a wizard, Tess guided the boys to the front door and introduced them to Bob. They all went inside and sat in the lounge as little feet could be heard moving around upstairs, then bob called the cubs to come downstairs, soon the eldest cub in wolf form peeked his head around the door and surveyed the room, Marcus and Ryan were surprised at how small he was compared to Taylor's wolf form. "Come on in" Bob said softly to the little wolf. He came in slowly followed by two small boys in human form, Bob gently guided them to sit on the large sofa next to Taylor, Marcus and Ryan. "Hi... I'm Taylor... and this is Marcus and Ryan" Taylor said to the oldest cub. He held out his hand so the cub could sniff it, the oldest cub sniffed it and looked confused, it was then that Taylor remembered playing with Marcus and Ryan willies on the way there as they were bored and horny. Taylor blushed a little knowing the cub could smell willies on his hand, the cub moved to Marcus and sniffed him, then he sniffed Ryan and went back to Taylor's hand, he sniffed it again and then went back to sitting in front of his brothers. Taylor wondered if he had just messed up until he saw the smaller boys lean down and the oldest cub whisper to them, the younger boys giggled and looked at Taylor making his face go red. The adults although unsure what was going on sat back and let the kids work things out. Ryan was getting impatient and got up and went over to the oldest cub with everyone watching. "Can I play with you and your brothers?" Ryan asked sincerely. The smaller cubs burst out laughing and even the older one seemed to be grinning. Ryan looked around confused till Taylor leaned forward and explained about his hand. Then it was Ryan's turn to blush. "Not like that" he gasped embarrassed. "We know... it was just funny is all" one of the younger cubs said giggling. The other young cub beckoned Ryan closer and whispered into his ear, "You can if you want to though" the little cub giggled. Bob was starting to get the gist of what was going on. "Why don't all you boys head upstairs and get your stuff ready to go... and Joshua... you need to travel in human form ok" Bob said kindly. "Fine" Joshua replied. Joshua led the way upstairs turning back to make sure his brothers were following him, Taylor, Marcus and Ryan followed them to help them get ready to go. Chapter 21 soon!
