After that wonderful night, Amy Howler and Tad Decker continued to date and see each other exclusively. All their friends and family thought they made a cute couple.
Then, on Christmas Eve, Amy came over to the Decker residence and asked to see Tad.
When the two of them were alone in his bedroom, Amy said, "I've got one hell of a Christmas present for you, but I'm not sure how you're going to feel about it."
"What is it?" asked Tad, curious, considering he couldn't see any sign of a gift with his girlfriend.
"I'm pregnant," announced Amy, as Tad started to faint and his mother, with her acute werecat hearing, came running into the bedroom screaming "WHAT?"
Then, Amy Howler awoke with a start. She looked around, and saw the black furred Tad sleeping peacefully in his werewolf form next to her in their relatively secluded spot, a big smile on his muzzle and her scent all over him.
What a dream! Amy thought, knowing that her mother NEVER let her leave the house each morning without personally witnessing Amy take her werewolf birth control pill. I'm "safe" until at least 7:30 tomorrow morning, she realized.
As much as Mrs. Howler loved her daughter, she regretted getting pregnant her senior year of high school. Her mother had to skip the senior prom (then again, who wanted to attend such a gala event in a maternity dress?) because she was in the hospital giving birth to Amy, but had managed to keep up her grades and was able to graduate on time with the rest of her friends and classmates. Thankfully Amy's dad "did the right thing" and married her mother that summer, which made college and trying to find their way in the world kind of difficult for her parents afterward, but still...
Amy looked down at her new boyfriend and smiled, before nuzzling up against his furry body.
She would love to become Mrs. Amy Decker and have Tad's pups someday, but that was the pleasant dream of the future.
Tonight was a night for romance, and when Tad woke up again...
