Noel stood down the hall from the room Fay and Alrric were in while he talked to Dr. Henderson, "So, how's Fay and the pups?" Dr. Henderson sighed and rubbed gently at his temple, he had been running around doing test, x-rays, scans and ultrasounds since Luna came in, in such a critical condition. Looking at his clipboard he read over a few of the results from tests before looking back up to the anxious face of Noel, "Luna seems to be fine just under a lot of stress. However, for the pups going through the transformation at such a vulnerable and young state has taken its toll. As far as we can see through the scans and test is that they themselves are changing as well to accommodate to their mother's new body." Noel ran his hands through his hair as his mind raced with worry over his mate and their pups, "So, they're turning into their wolves?" Noel watched on as Dr. Henderson nodded solemnly in response, "Yes. Though, unfortunately IF they were to survive this; they would have to be born that way. Another change back to their human bodies would be too much stress on them and therefore Luna should stay in the form she is in until they are born and even then possibly until they're around 6 months of age to nurse them." Noel leaned his side heavily against the cool brick wall before laying his head in his hands, "Okay, that's manageable but would they be like that forever?" This was something Dr. Henderson himself did not know but was willing to hypothesize the outcome of, "It's hard to tell but if it was to be the reversed situation for a normal werewolf I would say it's a good possibility they would be wolves until they turn of age to change into their human forms. Other than that I have no idea how much this will affect the pups." 
                          
Noel nodded in his hands and thanked the doctor before turning to go back into the room, pausing before the door he took a deep breath and placed a small smile on his face. No need to discourage his mates any more than they already were, he would try to make them as less stressed and worried as possible. When Noel entered the room Alrric, who was laying on the examining table with a currently sleeping Fay, looked up and nodded his head for him to come closer. Carefully moving Noel sat in the chair opposite of him, "So, what did he say?" Alrric's voice was barely above a whisper in an attempt to keep Fay asleep; she needed it to recover as quickly as possible, "He said the pups were transforming in her and that if Fay was to turn back the twins couldn't handle it. If the pups live through this transformation then they would need to be born that way which would mean they could stay in their wolves forever or until they reach the normal age for turning to go into their human forms." Alrric took in all this information and glanced worryingly down at Fay and how she would handle this situation on top of everything else. "We'll get to that when we need to. Right now, we need to be here for her. I'm having Scott's family deal with his funeral since he is not to be placed respectfully in our own graveyard for what he did to our mate and her Grandmother. However, I was hoping you would handle Fran's funeral? I know once Fay recovers she'll want to help but for right now I need someone else to", Alrric looked pleadingly to Noel in an attempt to sway him to do what he wanted. 
                          
However, pleading was not necessary for Noel he was willing to step up and help his mate and her Grandmother out as much as possible, "Yea, I think that's best to. I'll start on it after I know she's heard the information and has settled in." Alrric nodded at him and looked back down to his mate; her fur was matted with dried blood and she had swelling around her closed eyes from exhaustion. He ran his fingers softly through her fur to comfort her even in her sleep which she was slowly waking up from. Fay's eyes opened groggily and took a moment to take notice of where she was and who she was with; noticing she was still in her wolf form she tried to change back but a strong grasp on her paw had her quickly looking at Noel confused. "Don't turn back okay? I'll explain in a minute why but do you remember what happened earlier?", Fay thought back to Scott violating her and killing her Grandmother before her eyes, 'Yea I do.' Fay's voice was barely a whisper in their heads, 'Okay, well will you please tell us what happened? If it's too much we'll give you some time but we want to help you as soon as possible to get through this.' Fay whimpered and laid her head back down on the table as she closed her eyes and shared the details of what had happened just hours ago in their bathroom.
