Next the other sleepy head came dragging into the kitchen. Not having her Pup or Alpha next to her, she woke to find them. She was so out of it that she failed to acknowledge the Elders as she sat next to her Alpha and curled up in his lap. She was out within seconds.

"Mommy needs daddy cause she's hurting." Hani was pouting again.

"And how do you know this little Pup?" Uncle Ube didn't believe that a Pup not born of the Omega could be so attuned with her.

"Because I can feel mommy." He looked at Ube with the saddest look he could give. He hated his momma being in pain.

Auntie gave Toru a suspicious look, but the Alpha was too focused on his Mate. Auntie Midori asked if Hani would like to go for a walk around the village he clapped but looked over at his dad to make sure.

"I think that's a great idea! Then you can play out in the yard."

Hani giggled and clapped again. Midori and Ube knew that Gideon needed time alone with Toru so that he could help her in her healing process, especially if she was hurting.  As the Elders took the Pup outside, Toru could already hear the excited squeals and laughter. Now to help his Omega. Toru carried her to the bedroom again and put her back to bed. He laid down next to her and wrapped her in a hug, growling to let her know he was with her. Gideon snuggled into him more. As the Alpha inhaled her scent deeply it was tinged with blood. He had already begun to miss having such one on one time with her. But it would have to wait and he was just fine with that.



Once outside in the fresh mountain air, Hani started to perk up. As with his parents, he hopped and jumped about, never straying too far from the Elders. If he thought he was going too far, he would stop, wait, giggle and run ahead. They took him past the small daycare which was full of laughter and little voices. Ha-neul stopped to look. The same little Alpha girl that approached Gideon approached him. The two little Pups just stood and stared at each other then burst out in the most infectious giggles. She ran up, grabbed his hand and the two ran to the playground. Uncle Ube hurried after him, one of the caregivers saw the little ones and was full of smiles as she approached the older couple.

"It's okay! He can play with her if he likes."

They let Hani play with the other little ones for about 30 minutes, till their outside play time was over. The Elders couldn't believe how well he got along with everyone. He even gave his new little friends hugs before he had to go. The caregiver let the Elders know that with his parent's permission, he could stay the entire day. They thanked her and continued their walk. They were enjoying being out just as much as Hani was. As they walked other's inquired who the cute little boy was. They proudly let them know it was their grandson. After an hour of walking around town, they headed back to the house.   Auntie wanted to check on Gideon so Uncle took Hani to finish playing outside in the courtyard.

Auntie went to the kitchen to prepare Gideon some special tea. Hearing laughter, Toru woke up, he already knew it was coming from his Pup. Sitting up next to his Omega, she still had on her bloodied clothes. Seeing how she hadn't eaten all day, he needed to get food into her and he also wanted her out of those clothes. He leaned down to nuzzle her awake. With a whimper she was moving finally.

"Gi? Babe, I need you to wake up."

Moving and stretching, she was slowly, very very slowly, getting up. Once she finally sat up she immediately moved to her Alpha and rested her head on his shoulder. Toru caressed her face.

"How you feel Gi?"

"Like shit. Thanks for laying with me, it just wasn't long enough."

"I know babe, but I need you to eat something. You haven't eaten all day."
