There is another thing I haven't told anyone. I don't know how to do it but I need to do it before I go to the meeting with the elders. I make my way down stairs to where Ariel and everyone else is.

"Umm guys, can I uhh can I talk to you about something before this meeting tonight?" I ask.

Ariel turns the tv down and moves over so I can sit next to her. The guys and the girls all turn around and look at me waiting for me to talk.

"Embry sweetie, what is going on? Is everything okay?" She asks.

"No. No it's actually not. I umm, I haven't been completely open with you guys yet. I know I have told you my past has rough but not fully. I have been mentally, emotionally, and physically abused pretty much my whole life. Never really got any form of love from my mom or anything. So umm after years of going through all of that, not only am I gay, but I have adapted a certain life style that helps me cope with everything. I am not sure if you all have even heard of it before but it is called age regression. When things get too rough, too emotional, or out of hand, my brain regresses to a younger state of mind. I have regressed before but quickly forced myself out of it since I do not really have anyone who can be a caregiver or protect me. I guess I am telling you all this now because I am so tired. I am tried of fighting this all the time and I need you guys. I need you more than I care to admit." I say with tears running down my face.

It wasn't long until I felt arms wrap around me.

"Regress Embry. I will take care of you." I hear Ariel's sweet voice. With that I slowly slip and cling to her and let the tears fall.

After Embry told us everything, I took it upon myself as Luna to take care of him

After Embry told us everything, I took it upon myself as Luna to take care of him. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and encouraged him to regress.

It wasn't long until he slipped and sank into me.

"It's okay little Em, your Luna's got you. I will protect you. No one can hurt you anymore okay? We are your family now and we all will protect you okay?" I say sweetly to him running my hand softly through his hair.

His cries turned to sniffles and he looks up at me with innocent puppy eyes.

"There you are my sweet boy. It's okay. Such a sweet baby aren't you." I ask.

What surprised me next was Sam walked over to me and lifted him off the couch and placed him in his lap.

"Hey buddy. I am so sorry I wasn't there to protect you when you were little. As your big brother I should have been there but I am here now and I will protect you with my life okay. I promise little Em." Sam say kissing his head gently.

"Sam take him up to his room and lay him down for a nap. I am going to start getting things ready for dinner tonight with the Elders." I say.

"No Ariel, stay with him, he needs you. I can make dinner tonight since I have been gone for a little bit." Emily says.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yes. Please stay with him and Melody. I can help. We can do this." Rachel says.

"Thank you so much Rachel and Emily." I say.

So that is what we did. Emily and Rachel cooked dinner, and Sam carried little Em up to our room and I took Melody. Once I crawled into bed, Sam placed little Em next to me and placed Melody on my chest. He turned on the tv to a movie channel. He kissed all of our heads and covered us up.

"Ocean, the guys and I are gonna run patrol for a little bit before the meeting. I love you so much and you are such a great mother and luna to these boys." He says.

"Thank you wolfie, I love you more." I say. He gave me one more kiss and left closing the door quietly.

About 20 minutes later I feel little Em shift next to me. I look down at him and he is looking up at him.

"Hi my sweet boy. You comfy?" I ask. He just nods his head and snuggles close.

"D-do I c-c-call you l-luna or mama when I am in head space?" He asks innocently.

"Well which do you want? I am okay with either little Em." I say playing with his hair.

"What about both? Mama luna?" He asks.

"Sounds perfect to me little Em" I tell him.

He ends up falling asleep and Melody starts to fuss some. I pull a throw blanket over me and adjust so I can feed her. In no time she latches on and puts herself into a milk coma. She ends up falling asleep latched onto me and I couldn't help but sneak in a quick picture to show Sam later.

I moved Melody and leaned down more so I could relax. After 45 minutes of resting, I woke up and saw Embry awake again.

"Hey little Em." I say

"Hey, I uhh I'm not little right now." He says.

"That's okay. Do you feel better now after telling us everything and regressing?" I asked.

"Yes more than you know. I haven't felt this comfortable and safe in a long time. I cannot even begin to thank you for everything you have done for me. How can I ever repay you Ariel?" He asks.

"Embry you do not own me anything. It is payment enough that you are free to be open about yourself and be who you are here okay? Just be happy. That is all I want." I tell him.

After a few more minutes of laying there and talking, we get up to get ready for dinner with the elders. I hope they accept Embry like the rest of us have.
