Chapter 1: Humphrey's Flashbacks
It was a calm día in Jasper Park. It was Father's día and Kate had everyone over to help her with her father's gift. Winston, Eve, and Tony would soon be arriving, and she needed all the help she could get. Her sister, Lilly had come, along with her husband, Garth. Kate's husband, Humphrey, was also helping por watching their pups to make sure they stayed out of trouble.
"Humphrey," Kate called out. "Could tu and Lilly come and help me finish up Dad's gift? I want it to be perfect."
"But Kate," Humphrey said. "What about the pups?"
"That is why we are here."
Everyone turned around to see their friends, Marcel and Paddy arriving at the entrance of to the den.
"Marcel. Paddy," Kate said, greeting them both.
"Guys, we're glad tu could make it," Humphrey said. Marcel and Paddy looked around the den.
"Well, Paddy said. "It looks like everyone's here."
"And just in time, too," Lilly said. "They'll be here any minute."
"Which is why we need to get this done," Kate said. "Would tu mind watching the pups while Humphrey helps me finish this?" Kate asked them.
"Of course," Marcel said.
It wasn't too long before Winston and the others arrived at the den, mere moments after Kate and Humphrey finished up their gift and moved it out of view.
"Dad," Kate dicho as they came inside. "Happy Father's Day. We made something for you."
Kate and Humphrey took the gift out from its hiding place and gave it to Winston.
"Kate," he said. "It's beautiful. Thank you."
As Kate and Winston talked, Garth walked over and sat down siguiente to his father.
"I really wish Mom was here," he dicho sadly, looking down at the ground.
"So do I, Garth," Tony said, recalling the terrible accident that took his wife's life. It was a hunting trip that they had gone on many years hace when Garth was just a young pup. The caribou had gotten spooked and bolted. When the dust cleared, Tony found her, lying in the dirt, motionless.
"She would be so proud of the lobo you've become."
While everyone was talking, the youngest of Kate and Humphrey's pups, Runt, wanted to ask Humphrey something.
"Dad?" he said.
"Yes Runt?" Humphrey replied, turning to face his son.
"Are tu going to visit grandpa today?"
"Runt," Humphrey said. "What do tu mean? He's right here."
"No, not him," Runt said, motioning towards Winston. "I mean my other grandpa. tu know, your dad."
Upon hearing this, Humphrey suddenly froze.
"Yeah, Dad," his eldest son, Stinky, said. "You never talk about your parents. How come?"
"I don't think he's even told me anything about his parents o his puphood, for that matter," Kate said, turning away from her conversation with her father.
Humphrey remained frozen, not moving, not speaking and soon it became very apparent that something was wrong.
"Humphrey?" Kate said, approaching her dazed husband. "Are tu okay?"
Humphrey dicho nothing, did nothing, except stand there, staring at the ground with a very troubled expression on his face and a frightened look in his eyes.
"Humphrey, what's wrong?" Kate asked, but Humphrey just stood there, his mouth barely open with a look on his face like a young pup watching something terrible happen right before his eyes.
What Kate and the others didn't know, is that Humphrey was having flashbacks of his parents and the terrible thing that happened the he saw them for the last time. In his head, he heard himself crying out for help.
"Dad!" he heard himself say. "Don't let them take me."
Then, almost as suddenly as it began, his mind was jerked back into the real world and he saw that everyone in the cave was now looking at him.
"Dad," the middle pup, Claudette, said. "Are tu okay?"
"Yeah," Humphrey lied. "I'm fine. Just, had a little something."
Kate looked around the den. "I think Humphrey needs some air," she said. "Come on."
Without another word, Kate led Humphrey out onto the rock that jutted out from the den. Once they got out earshot out the others, Kate sat down to talk to him.
"What was that about?" she asked, rather sternly.
"Kate," Humphrey said, a slight quiver evident in his voice, a sign that something was clearly still bothering him. "I saw them."
"Wait," Kate said, trying to understand. "You saw them? Humphrey, who did tu see?"
Humphrey didn't answer right away. Then, very quietly, barely above a whisper, Humphrey said, "My parents. Kate, I saw my parents."

“… And they lived happily ever after! The End! So how’d tu like the story, pups?” Humphrey asked excitedly, having told his first ever bedtime story. The pups however were fast asleep and snoring softly. They were obviously tired from a long día of exploring, Humphrey thought. He then turned to face his Alpha wife Kate and his mouth hung open, shocked. Kate had fallen asleep as well. She had rolled over on her back, her mouth wide open and snoring loudly with drool hanging from her mouth. “Man, I suck at story time!” Humphrey yelled out.
