Note: Chapter II of The Wolfpire Chronicles (Book I) The Rue family were a pretty happy family. Mr. And Mrs. Rue were in their mid 40's and they do not have any children; although, they have a small dog whom they love oh so tenderly. Even if they didn't have any sons or daughter they were very, very happy.
The next day Mrs. Rue woke up and immediately went to the kitchen to ready breakfast. As she passed to the living room she was startled by the basket on top of the couch Pooka was smelling. Curious, she picked the basket "Oh my," she said "it's pretty heavy. Almost like ther's a baby inside" she joked. As she strip the cloth that covered the inside of the basket she screamed loudly. Startled, Mr. Rue got up ", ELIZABETH!" he exclaimed. "Stop dawdling around and get cooking. You'll wake the whole floor with your shrieking." "But, Nicholas" she exclaimed, "there's~" out of breath she tried to talk "there's~" "There's a what Elizabeth!" Nicholas interrupted. "There's a bay~" she took a deep breath "bay~" "A bay?" Nicholas verbalized questionably. "Are you going bonkers Elizabeth my love?" he asked. Elizabeth, all out of words placed the basket on the table and fainted. Nicholas, becoming curious as ever did not care about her wife drop dead on the floor and looked at the baby inside the basket. And just like Elizabeth, Nicholas had the same expression. And just like his wife, he too fainted.
An hour has passed and Nicholas came back to his senses. he woke up and saw his wife Elizabeth still knocked out from what she saw. After licking Nicholas, Pooka came to Elizabeth and started licking her. Pooka gave out a perky bark which startled the baby. The baby cried, and cried and Nicholas dumbfounded in the scenario picked up the baby and cradled it in his arms. Nicholas smiled and gave the baby a kiss on the forehead. Pooka growled.
Another hour passed and Elizabeth woke up in the bed. Nicholas, welcomed her wife with a smile on his face. "What happened?" she asked. Nicholas did not reply; instead, he lifed the baby ner Elizabeth's eyes. "Don't shout." Nicholas commanded. He reached into his back pocket and got a piece of paper, he gave it to Elizabeth and then she started to read:
To Mr. And Mrs. Rue,

"Fargles?" Elizabeth asked quizzicaly. She took the baby from Nicholas's hands and smiled. "What should we call him?" Nicholas asked. Mrs. Rue started to think of names. "Charlie" Mrs. Rue said triumphantly. "Charlie Lothario Rue what a perfect name!" Mr. Rue added. "Lothario?" Elizabeth asked raising one eyebrow ", he's still a baby and now you want him to beome a womanizer?" "Well, it's a symbol of manliness" Mr. Rue said proudly. "Fine, fine" Elizabeth agreed.
