Martha was just finishing up her measurement for Eric when his phone blasts the custom picked ringtone whenever he receives a text from either Spencer or Frieda; Looking at the message his green eyes bulge in surprise.
‘Were-Panther Pride meeting this Tuesday; ask your parent’s permission first to attend, but I hope they do say yes. We will be sleeping over at my place afterwards. Father will most likely need to smooth some things over with the skulk and Tachibana. Eric, please convince your father to settle things with Benton.’
“Mom where is dad,” Eric asking.
“Upstairs having a nap,” Martha smiling; “last night was exhausting for him.” Martha and William where at the Were Club on Saturday evening; with the crazy night they had, Martha had to drive both of them home. William was sore and dead tired from his wild passionate night; not only with his wife but several other lady weres that even now, their names escape Martha.
“He needs to see this text mom,” Eric showing his mother the text. Martha just purses her lips; unsure of what to make of it.

Spencer was just regaining consciousness thanks to the smelling salts Maggie managed to get and use; With Evan Lawson breathing a sigh of relief, Spencer’s phone once again goes off but this time a text from Frieda;
‘Were-Panther Pride meeting this Tuesday; ask your parent’s permission first to attend, but I hope they do say yes. We will be sleeping over at my place afterwards. Father will most likely need to smooth some things over with the skulk and Tachibana. Eric, please convince your father to settle things with Benton.’
“Holy shit,” was all Evan said.
“What is it dad,” Spencer finally waking up.
Evan just hands back his daughter’s cell phone letting her read the message; her green eyes go wide with surprise, “And here I thought mom planning to let you knock her up was the shock for the day.”
“Spencer,” Maggie scolds.
“Sorry,” Spencer still looking at her phone; “I wouldn’t mind a brother or a sister. Just let me head over to Eric or Frieda’s place when you two decide go at it;“ Spencer smiling at her parents. “As for the text; can I?”
Evan and Maggie look at each other, unsure as to what to do; Evan shrugging his shoulder, “while it may be a school night. A chance to have a quite house to ourselves would be welcome.”
“So,” Spencer looking excited.
“What your father is trying to say,” Maggie rolling her eyes; “is I guess it couldn’t hurt, but from the look of the message; I would wait and see if William okays this.”

William was sitting in the kitchen still bleary eyed after being shaken awake from Martha regarding something extremely important; wearing nothing but a bathrobe but in his human form, he is sitting down reading the message from Frieda. After reading the message he puts Eric’s cellphone down; getting up to grab the house phone, he leaves the room and calls Tachibana.
After a silent thirty minutes, William reenters the kitchen; pouring his self a cup of coffee, grimacing that its cold after taking a sip, William looks at Martha; “Do you have everything you need from Eric in regards to a new wardrobe?”
“Everything but his taste in clothing,” Martha answering; “What’s the matter?”
“Tachibana would like Eric and myself to head over to her estate,” William answering; “apparently both Frieda and Benton are there as well.”
Eric getting up he looks at his mother, “anything as long as it’s not frilly or flowery;” Eric grabbing his phone and waiting for his father to get dressed. “A couple shirts with those funny messages on them as well.”
“You still to try them on to make sure they fit properly,” Martha shouting.
“Then get a few sizes larger as well as a few belts,” William coming back down fully dressed; “Eric is still a growing boy after all. Oh and when Nate finally wakes up, tell him he still has the leaves in the front yard to rake.”
Both Eric and William leave the door to head to Tachibana’s estate; leaving Martha to rouse awake Nate Anderson and try and guess Eric’s taste in clothing as she goes out to do some shopping.
