As the days went by and the major drama of November and December passed; the town of Moon lake became peaceful for a time. Eric Anderson a white furred were-panther aced his end of year exams; helping Spencer and Frieda study allowed them to pass with respectable marks. Spencer now sixteen recently got her driver’s license; bringing fear to both Eric and Frieda’s parents of her tearing up the road in a large pickup truck that her grandfather got for her. The big surprise came with the three bonded lovers when both Eric and Frieda realized they had the exact same birthdate; while the two had a small party and gathering with their families. It was later in the evening when Eric. Frieda and Spencer celebrated with a wild rut in the woods.
True to her father’s words; Frieda had a limit placed on her credit card. After the three hundred grand Telsa sports car she got for her mother for Christmas, Benton wanted to make sure his daughter didn’t become a shopaholic. While Amanda was understanding of the whole credit limit; she wasn’t exactly calm when she found out Frieda now had an after school job. The job was mostly babysitting; minding smaller children while their parents go out for the evening to relax and unwind. This job allowed her to get hands on experience for when she would become a mother one day. With Eric and Spencer joining her on a few nights of babysitting; mostly to help her handle Cindy, Jasper and Yogi who despite being a little older, the three were-tiger cubs were still just as destructive as ever.
Spencer, watching her mother’s belly grow and swell with a child; she was a little heartbroken upon finding out that after the first month of pregnancy it was advised to refrain from shifting into your fursona. The energy required for the change could harm the fetus as the body shifts and readjusts; possibly causing a premature birth of worse. So throughout her pregnancy; Maggie was human looking. This doesn’t mean she was alone. Her husband Evan, a black furred werewolf and their daughter Spencer; a werewolf/panther/feline hybrid were helping Maggie along with her pregnancy. Placing a paw on her belly to feel the fetus kicked both made each other pleased; emitting happy growls. Finding out that she will soon give birth sometime in mid September of two thousand sixteen; Evan with the help of his father Mike, had the spare room turned into a nursery.
Back over with the Knight family; Benton was still bi-polar. He’s still a ruthless business man, but has managed to become a better father. Making time to spend time with Frieda has been a difficult struggle for him. What with work running Knight Industries, doctor’s appointments with Abigail Robinson at Moon Lake Hospital and Doctor Frances Twist to discuss his issues and undergo anger management. He has become a better person. After the mandatory thirty days imposed by the elder council passed; he and Amanda took off for a romantic holiday for two in Turks and Caicos. Leaving Frieda alone with a small house staff; Ethyl and John now married but still at their regular duties. She the cook and he the chauffeur. While Amanda could not get the rest of the staff to come back; she did manage to hire a new butler and a few maids to help keep the house clean.
Lance Knight and Lila Carpenter are now husband and wife. Getting married shortly before Anton and Esmeralda had to go back to their retirement island; the wedding was a small but wonderful affair. While both Rick and Lila did try to get ahold of their parents; their attempts were not successful so they could not see their daughter tying the knot. While Lance wore a custom fitting tuxedo; it was Lila that wanted to buck the traditional white wedding. Walking down the aisle in her were-tigress fursona and wearing only a veil; being led on by Cindy who was easily elected as flower girl. The ceremony was quick and joyous as well as the reception dinner that they had at Grrrrrrr. The honeymoon was anything but quick; flying off to France to kick off a European vacation; they never got far from their honeymoon suite as the two could not keep their paws off each other.
It was when they came back from their honeymoon that Lilia began working full time as a CPA for Knight Media. Her audit of KPXX revealing several questionable accounting irregularities that cost more people their jobs and charges of fraud and theft among several. Suggesting to Lance that the Were Club would turn a bigger profit if instead of open only on Saturday evenings; it would also open its doors on Friday evenings as well, was at first met with some resistance. But once word got around; the new operating hours for the “club” became too big of a hit not to ignore. With the extra money coming in; Lance was able to fund several renovation projects to help make the building safer and give it a much needed face lift and expansion.
Seeing his wife belly beginning to expand; Lance soon realized he was going to be a father. While wanting to wait a bit before starting a family of his own; he was thrilled to see Lila come back from the hospital with and ultrasound photo showing the tiny embryo growing within her. Still being too early to tell if it’s a boy or a girl; Lila still in the first trimester of her pregnancy, Lance knew he had to give serious thought to moving into a bigger house.

Martin vehemently denying it and Sheriff Cooper also stating to the fact; even showing the Stovall’s the birth certificate of Darrell. Seeing the name Rick Fernando as the father did not allay Melissa’s suspicions; even during their getaway to Hawaii.
