Wolf got tired. He spent the day painting his son's room. He colored the walls blue, adding pictures of wolves and wolf cubs. He wanted to raise his son as a wolf, like him. Virginia didn't like the idea. She wanted her kid to grow up as a normal human. But, that didn't stop Wolf from his thoughts.
- Wolf, please stop painting! Come and have some rest.
Wolf seemed happy to hear that. He actually wanted to hear his wife calling him for supper. He replied:
-I'm coming honey. Just as soon as I finish this one.
He was drawing a big wolf. It seemed so powerful. He wanted that one to be the most inspiring picture in the room. At that moment Virginia entered the room:
- Could you stop this?! Mike is too young to understand what you want to tell him by that!
- Oh, Virginia, you don't understand. I want him to learn about wolves, starting now! He must know who are his ancestors, and his father! ME!
- Remember about HIS MOTHER?? She's a HUMAN. He must learn about that, too.
She went, slamming the door on her way out. Wolf stopped painting and stood near the window and thought:
<She must become a wolf too. Huff-Puff.. (Scratches his head) How's she supposed to raise a wolf cub if she's only a human? I must think of something. Think Wolf! Think!>
He went to the kitchen and watched how Virginia was feeding their two-week-old baby. He noticed tear drop going down her cheek. He felt guilty about what he said. He came near, kissed her and said:
- I'm sorry to interrupt, but, uh.. I'm hungry too. Would you feed me?
- O.K., just as soon as I finish with him.
After five minutes she took Mike to her room where his bed was. Mike was already sleeping. She put him in his bed and came back to the kitchen to see her husband sitting on the floor in front of the refrigerator.
-What're you doing? - She asked.
-Oh, I'm waiting (nodding his head).. for my dinner. I didn't want to search for it by myself. I would have eaten everything here if I did so.
- Well.. Thanks for caring at last.. I can't go shopping after each time you jump into the refrigerator.
Wolf looked into Virginia's eyes with a guilty look on his face. Virginia noticed that her husband is starving.
- O.K., 5 minutes and dinner will be ready.
She put the dishes on the table and brought a chicken that she cooked.
- Huff-Puff... I'm starving. Hmm, that smells grrrrrreat! Chicken! Yes! Oh boy, I'm so lucky today!!!
- Wait, I'm not finished with it yet.
Virginia brought some salads and juice. They sat in front of each other. She didn't eat much, but Wolf couldn't hold himself from swallowing everything he saw on the table. Virginia sat there watching him. She smiled and said:
- You look like a person who hasn’t been eating for the last two years.
- I'm a wolf! When I'm hungry, I eat everything!
He continued his "dinner".
Meanwhile Mike was sleeping in his parent's room. A person showed up from behind the curtains, dressed all in black. She came closer to the baby's bed, touched his face, and said:
- Hello darling. You won't live to see your fifth birthday.
At that moment Wolf stopped eating and felt a smell. Virginia noticed that her husband was uncomfortable. So, she asked:
- What's wrong honey?
- Someone's here. I smell a bad thing.
- I don't hear anything.- Virginia said in a concerned tone.
Suddenly Wolf shouted:
-Oh my God! Mike! She's there with him!
He dropped the meat and ran to the room, Virginia followed him. He entered, but saw no one there. Mike was sleeping like an angel. Wolf searched everywhere in the room including the wardrobe, under the bed, but found no one.
- I swear I smelled here here. Grrrr, if she hurts my son, I'll tear her into pieces.
- Tear whom into pieces? - Asked Virginia.
- No one honey. I was wrong, there's no one here.
He went out, feeling unsecured. He didn't want Virginia to know what or whom he smelled.
- I lost my appetite.
- Wolf, is there something you're hiding from me?
- Who me? No, no. Everything is O.K., I just lost my appetite for today.
Virginia cleaned the table, and then she started to wash the dishes. Wolf was sitting in his favorite couch. He was thinking about that smell. That evening passed and they didn't talk much.
- I'm going to sleep honey. Are you coming?
Wolf didn't answer. He was busy with analyzing his fears of that smell.
- Wolf! Are you listening?
He turned to her and said:
- Go to sleep my love. I want to stay awake for a while.
- O.K., good night honey.
She came near him, kissed him, and went to sleep.
Finally Wolf reached to the top of his fears. He felt that smell before; he didn't like it at all. That smell was the only thing that he feared.. That smell was like.. The Queen!!
- Cripes! Please tell me I'm wrong, please!
He got up and went to his room. He saw his wife and son sleeping. He took a deep breath, and went to bed.
- Wolf, please stop painting! Come and have some rest.
