I'm back BITCHES! Sorry about the long wait. Spring Break ended Monday. Also this story has hit over 2000 views. Thank anda all for enjoying my story. This chapter will focus on Mooch and his mate Candy.

No One's POV

It was late at night as Mooch and permen were still awake. They were eating some leftover caribou from the hunt that afternoon. Before he had a mate, Mooch would eat a lot but after marrying permen he decided to cut down his portions. As they were eating, permen began to ask what they would be doing after the Moonlight Howl. "So maybe we're done how long we could go out to the pond and take a swim," permen suggested her mate. "They sounds like a good idea," Mooch replied. "And maybe afterwords, we can stroll around the park for a bit." "Sounds like a date," permen said.

permen for a while now was hoping that maybe her and Mooch could have pups, but she knew he probably wouldn't want that kind of responsibility. Unknown to her however, Mooch was thinking of having pups as well. Though the only problem was that he wouldn't be a good parent. Maybe tomorrow I can ask Humphrey atau Cando for some advice. Mooch hoped one of his friends would help his dilemma.

After all ranks were able to mate each other, they started to hang out with each other. With this, Humphrey and his friends started to hang with Kate and her hunting team. It surprised everyone when they saw Mooch and Cando actually get along well. Cando learned that Mooch's father died a week before he was born. Mooch was then told that Cando's parents died during a flood when he was only a little. They were both troubled oleh these problems. After a while a of hanging with each other, they both helped each other out. Mooch helped Cando get over his parents' death oleh saying that he should live for himself and his parents and Cando in return helped resolved Mooch's issues with not knowing his dad oleh telling him that even though he never met him, that Mooch's dad would have been to have him as a son.

They became good, maybe even best friends. It was Mooch who introduced Cando to Reba. As expected Reba didn't like Cando at first because he ate meat, but she eventually put aside petty things like diet. Though, Cando has learned to put berries and plants in his diet. Cando then helped Mooch gather up the courage to ask permen out on a date. Sometimes the two couples would have double dates. They eventually decided to wed on the same day. It was best hari of their lives. Mooch and Cando still hang out with each other.

Mooch thought tomorrow he could ask Cando about having a family since Reba was pregnant now. "Oh Mooch I thought maybe tomorrow we could see how Cando and Reba are doing," permen said. "Sure that sounds nice," Mooch told his mate. He still wasn't sure if permen wanted to have pups. He'll have to worry about that tomorrow. permen and him snuggled together and went to sleep as usual.

The selanjutnya Day

permen opened her eyes and saw Mooch was still asleep. She always thought looked adorable in his sleep. Mooch began to play around meaning he was having a good dream. permen decided to go get a drink of water and wash up a bit. When she got outside, she saw the sun didn't rise yet. permen headed to the pond nearby. When she got there a drank some water and washed her fur. "Hey Candy," a familiar voice said. permen turned around and saw it was her sarang, den sister Sweets. "Hi Sweets," permen said. "How's Salty and the pups?" "They're fine. Salty got us some breakfast."

permen remembered the hari Sweets gave birth to four beautiful pups. The first pup born was a girl who looked like a female version of Salty. So they named her Sally. The detik pup was a boy who had bulu color that was a mixture of Sweets' and Salty's furs. They decided to name him after Salty's father Xavier. The third was another boy who looked like his mother. They saw he was a very cheerful pup so they named him Felix. The youngest pup was a girl. She, like Xavier, had a bulu color of both her parents. It took a while but they named her Alice. permen thought they looked adorable. She remembered how Alice went up to and licked her nose.

"Hey Sweets, do anda mind helping me with something," permen asked her best friend. "Sure," Sweets replied. "What do anda need help with?" "Well I was thinking of having pups of my own, but I'm not sure if Mooch wants to," permen said. "Hmm, well Salty at first was unsure about having pups, but that was mostly because he thought I would be worried about my shape," Sweets berkata putting her paw on her hips and belly. It was a little bigger than it used was before thanks to her pregnancy. "I told him having pups was worth losing my slim figure. Plus he told me I would still look cute." permen realized that something must have be bothering Mooch if it made him not want to have pups. "Thanks sis," permen berkata nuzzling Sweets. "No problem," Sweets replied. With that the two departed for their dens. Maybe if I talk to him tonight, I can find out if something is bothering Mooch. permen decided to talk with her mate tonight in hopes she might find out something.

When she got back, she saw Mooch was awake. "Hi honey," he berkata nuzzling her. "Hi sweetie, so when are we leaving for Cando and Reba," permen asked her mate. "Well I was thinking later this morning," he said. "That's a good time," she replied. The two serigala ate their breakfast of leftover caribou and left for the other couple's den. When they got there Cando and Reba greeted them both. "Hey guys it's nice to see you," Reba said.

"Hey anda two," Mooch berkata to them. They began to talk about the Moonlight Howl that would be in two days. "So what do anda guys plan on doing after the Moonlight Howl," Cando asked. "Well we'll probably go for a swim and anda guys," permen asked in return. "After we're done howling, we'll probably hang out with Janice and Shakey for awhile," Reba replied. "Oh Cando do anda mind if we could have a private guy talk," Mooch asked. "Umm sure," Cando berkata a little confused. The two serigala left with the den, leaving the two girls. Wonder what he wanted. permen thought to herself. She and Reba then began to talk.

Outside, Mooch and Cando sat down a few inches away from the entrance. "What did anda want to talk about," Cando asked his friend. "Well I wanted to ask anda for some advice," Mooch said. "I'm thinking of having pups with Candy." "Do anda know if she wants some," Cando asked. "Most likely, but the problem is that I don't know if I'm the type of guy who would be a good dad," Mooch berkata a bit saddened.

Cando looked at him a bit surprised. "The thing is, I don't know if I'll be a good father to my pups," Mooch continued. "Plus, how am I supposed to provide for permen when I can't even hunt a rabbit?" Cando knew that Mooch was worried on being a good mate and father. "Look, from what I've learned from hanging out with you, you're a really nice guy," Cando said. This caused Mooch's face to lighten up.

"You really kind to permen and anda willing ate less for her. Plus from what Kate told me, Humphrey's and her pups really loved anda and permen as pup-sitters," Cando added. Mooch began to smile from his friend's compliments. "Also, I could teach anda how to hunt," Cando told him. "Remember when Garth taught Humphrey to take down a caribou when Kate was pregnant." Mooch felt a lot better as Cando helped him with his dilemma. "Thanks Cando," Mooch said. "I really needed that." "No problem buddy. Maybe this week I can teach you," Cando suggested. "Sure thanks Cando," Mooch berkata hugging him. At first Cando felt awkward, but later embraced it.

"Come on our mates our probably getting worried," Cando said. Unknown to the two of them, permen and Reba were listening to the conversation. He really did want pups. "Wow, that was almost as deep as our wedding," Reba berkata remembering Cando's vow to being a good mate. "I never knew Mooch thought that way," Candy. "Oh they're coming let's head back." The two she-wolves went back to their position.

Mooch and Cando walked in the den. "Sorry we took long," Mooch said. After awhile, Mooch and permen left to go back to their den. It was around afternoon when they left. "So Mooch should we do anything tonight," permen asked. "Maybe we can go bintang gazing," he suggested. "Sounds like a date," permen berkata nuzzling Mooch. Maybe I can asked him about mating. And I know just the night.

Ok so that was Chapter 17. Sorry about the wait. The selanjutnya chapter tomorrow will focus on Runt and Magril again. hey just a pertanyaan but can an old she-wolf still get pregnant?
