Will’s ears perked up and he was awoken by the sound of his wife’s alarm. Alex had classes early on Fridays, which meant that he had to hear that alarm earlier than he wanted to every week. Without opening his eyes, the shepherd tiredly wrapped his arms tighter around his mate, not wanting her to get up.

Rey nodded in understanding. “That we’re definitely more than happy to help with. In fact, I know your mother will ecstatic to see you two.” His ears perked momentarily to see if there was any hint of the pups finally being asleep. They had been extra rowdy today. It seemed rather quite though so he was sure Grace would back soon.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

The female shepherd had just come down the stairs, in fact, and she walked in right after he said that. She smiled and hugged her husband, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

Then, Grace turned to Will and Alex. “It’s good to see you two,” she said, giving each the same hug treatment before sitting down in another chair.

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex smiled from the hug. It was comforting to still have a mom around. It had been a while since she was able to come over due to school. “It’s good to be here,” she replied. “How’s everything going with you guys?”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

“It’s busy as always. The girls are doing well in school and the pups keep us busy the rest of the time. What about you all?”

Will looked between Alex and Rey, then back at Alex. “Well,” he asked his wife quietly, “should we start with the bad news?”

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex’s small smile disappeared. “Yes… I suppose it would be best to get that bit out of the way,” she replied quietly.

Rey glanced at Grace before giving the two a sympathic look.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

The female shepherd looked at the couple, a bit confused.

Will sighed and gently squeezed Alex’s arm. “We found out not so long ago that Alex’s mom died.” Despite seeing the shock in his mother’s face, he went on. “She had a relapse into her drug habits and it didn’t do her too well. Rey was the first one I told. I told him not to tell you because I wanted to do it face to face like this.”

Grace’s eyes clouded with tears and she stood up and went over to throw her arms around her daughter-in-law. “Oh Alex, sweetie. I’m so sorry,” she told the fox, pressing the side of her muzzle against Alex’s cheek.

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex wrapped her returned the embrace and tried not to cry herself. She cried so much already she didn’t want to put Will and herself through more grief. After hugging for a good minute or so the vixen spoke. “We haven’t arranged a time for her funeral yet. We have to wait for the body to be released.”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

“Don’t you worry about any of that,” she replied. “Rey and I can deal with planning so that you don’t have to put yourself through any more than you have to.”

Grace still held on, rubbing the vixen’s back softly. Her motherly instincts didn’t let her pull away until a couple minutes later.

Alex nodded.

A moment later the two were greeted by Rey, who wore a dish towel of his shoulder. He glanced between the two trying to read them. Both seemed exhausted, though Will more so. Not that it was surprising considering what he recently been told.

“Hey guys, come on in. Grace is finishing up putting the pups to bed. She’ll be out shortly,” he greeted.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

“Alright. Thanks.” Will let Alex enter before him, then followed through the door.

Steph and Zoe were nowhere to be found, which probably meant that they were getting in some last-minute video game time in the basement before they had to go to bed. That meant that the living room was empty.

The German shepherd sat down on the couch with his mate and put his arm around her.

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex leaned against her mate.

Rey sat in his usual chair across from them. He was worried. It was hard to tell what the young couple were hoping to talk about considering the circumstances.

Unsure of where to start he asked, “So… How things going?”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

“Honestly, pretty okay despite.. y’know,” Will replied. “But uh... there’s actually some news we have that we were gonna wait until later to tell. But we kinda needed a lift in spirits.”

She tigtened her hug because of it, not letting him see the concern on her face. Hopefully, the visit would help him relax and just forget about the day for a while.

After a moment or so she pulled away and booped noses with him. “Come on, let’s not waste what day is left.”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

The small act of affection caused Will’s shoulders to drop a little bit - it helped his stress by a small margin.

“Alright, yeah. Lemme go get the keys.” He let his paw drift across her arm as he walked away into the bedroom to retrieve the car keys.

[ms-trouble-maker]

The ride over to the house was silent. Alex had to have the window cracked to ease her nausea. It seemed car sickness wasn’t for just the bus anymore. By the time they arrived the vixen was more than grateful to get out.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

After pulling the car into the driveway, Will got out and went around to meet Alex. He touched his nose to her ear affectionately. “You okay?”

[ms-trouble-maker]

“Yeah, I’m okay,” she assured, smiling. “Just being prego is all.”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

“Alright, tell me if I should slow down or anything on the way back, alright?”

The two headed up to the front door, and Will rang the doorbell. He glanced down at his phone for the time: 8:56. The little ones would probably either be in bed by now or be close to it.

As her plate was taken away Alex glanced at the clock. There was still time to visit Rey and Grace. The pups would be in bed by the time they arrived, but the others would still be up. She looked at Will with a smile. “You still up for visiting everyone?” she asked, gesturing to the clock.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

Will’s eyes followed the gesture, then he shrugged. “I guess so. I’ve really only talked to Rey since.. y’know… and I’d like to do it in person.”

He glanced down at the floorboards. “Though I do need to make some follow-up calls with the police too.”

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex leaned towards him and gave him a loving gaze. “Those calls can wait a night, Will. You’ve done more than enough for today. Let’s just enjoy our family for the rest of the night. Tell them the good news.”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

The shepherd had a moment of trouble thinking of the good news before remembering that Alex was pregnant. All he could think about was her mother’s death. Maybe he really did need to take a break.

“Alright, we’ll go then.” He returned her gaze. “Do you need to get ready at all before we leave?”

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex shook her head. She motioned to her clothes, a simply t-shirt and jeans. “I’m good. Besides, they’ve seen me dressed worse than this,” she chuckled lightly. The vixen got up and went over to hug her husband.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

Will managed a smile as his wife hugged him, and his own arms went around her. However, she would be able to feel how incredibly tense his muscles were during the embrace.

Alex gave a warm smile. “Either way I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun,” she said, giving his paw one more squeeze before going back to her food.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

The shepherd smiled down at his food, his ears going flat for a moment. Then they perked back up and he looked back up at her. “I love you. You’re the strongest mammal I know.”

[ms-trouble-maker]

The vixen couldnt help but blush a little. She didn’t always feel that strong, but it was nice to know he thought that of her. “I love you too, Will.”

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

He blushed as well. “Sorry I’m so sappy right now. I don’t know what’s gotten into me.” He figured it was something in him trying to do as much as he could for his partner in the midst of all of the craziness in their lives.

[ms-trouble-maker]

Alex smiled. “Don’t apologize. It’s kind of sweet when you’re sappy,” she replied, looking back down at her food. After a brief moment of silencs she went back to eating.

[ask-will-the-shepherd]

After a few minutes, Will finished first. He stood up to clean up his dishes, then came back to do the same for the rest as Alex finished.
