Even though Kody had been prepared to meet his mother's boyfriend, he had been expecting Hubert to be a fox. When he'd pulled up into the driveway with RJ at his side, he was more than surprised to see a gigantic, tall wolf with a pot belly standing next to her. His fiancée giggled as she looked over at his perked ears, "Expecting a fox?"

The tod nodded his head, "Yeah." His response only made the raccoon giggle more as he came to the realization that he was reacting the same way Mike and Helen had when he'd told them that RJ was a raccoon, the same way that RJ's family had reacted when they'd met him, though, RJ's brother Gregg had been very intrigued about it.

Kody let out a light chuckle as he pressed the unlatch button on the seatbelt. "If mama likes him, then I guess I do," he said with a smile. "That's the spirit, master," the sow raccoon giggled softly as she made her husband-to-be blush.

Hubert looked over at Jo, a mask of concern on his face. "Jo-sef-een. D'ya think yer lil boy'll like me," the wolf whined, making himself look more like a sad puppy than a grown adult. The vixen giggled softly as she leaned up on her tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek, "Awh, sugar wolf. Course he'll likes ya. Yer a sweetie."

The fox's words made Hubert blush and let out an a-hyuck, before continuing with, "I loves yew, Jo-sef-een."

"I loves ya too, sugar wolf," she replied with another kiss that only made the wolf seem to melt more as she watched her son and his fiancée make their way up the driveway.

"Mom," Kody cried out with a smile, waving over at her with one hand while his other held onto RJ's. The elder fox smiled back, her arms opening wide only to wrap around her son. She pulled him in close for a warm hug, "Mmm... It's s'good t'sees ya, sugar fox."

Mother and son broke off the embrace only for her to hug her daughter-in-law. Hubert and Kody stared at one another, heads moving up and down to size each other up before the fox pushed out his hand. "I'm Jo's son, Kody," he said, expecting a handshake, but what he got was surprising.

The tubby, gigantic wolf grabbed wrapped two massive arms around him, bringing the younger tod in for the hardest bear hug he'd ever had in his life, and Kody had been hugged by bears. "I knows who ya is, Kody," he said while the fox wriggled and writhed against the firm embrace, "Ya don't has t'be s'formal with me."

"Can't... breathe!"

Jo giggled as she tapped Hubert's shoulder, "Not s'hard, shoog."

Hubert blushed as he let go, causing Kody to crash down onto the ground. "Iz sorry, Jo-sef-een. I jist don't knows m'own strenth," the wolf said submissively before looking down at his girlfriend's son, "Iz sorry, Kody."

The younger fox was panting and gasping for air, trying to say, "It's all right," but failing to do so at first. His fiancée was giggling a little as she moved over to give Hubert a hug. "I'm RJ," she churred softly as Hubert gave her a less strong hug.

"It's nice t'meetcha, Arr-Jay," the canine said with a smile, "Is you his sweetheart?"

"I'm his fiancée."

"Fee-on-say?"

Jo giggled as she moved over to her big wolf, "It means theys gettin' hitched, sugar wolf."

Hubert gave the vixen a goofy grin as he nodded, "I sees."

RJ broke the hug to help Kody up onto his feet. "It's... nice to meet you, Hubert," the tod finally said after recovering his wind, wondering if he had any broken ribs, but nothing hurt.

"Iz happy t'finally meet you, Kodie," the wolf said with a big grin, "yer maw's told me lots boutcha."

The fox nodded his head as he smiled, "That's good."

"I'm proud t'be yer new daddy."

Jo's face flushed completely. RJ's eyebrows raised. Kody, however, was completely confused.

"Wait. What?"

"Did I say summin wrong," Hubert asked as he looked over at Jo. He wasn't the only one. Everyone's attention seemed to be turning towards the old vixen. Jo slowly shook her head, "Naw, shoog. I jist... well... I kinda fergot t'tell Kody bout us."

"Y... ya got married," her son said in disbelief as he looked over and up at Hubert. Jo nodded softly as she stuck out her paw. Kody hadn't noticed the ring on her finger until now. He looked at it in surprise.

"W... when did you," he started to ask, but Jo answered for him, "Last week. I... I'm sorry I didn't tell ya about what was going on, Kody."

"Did you have a ceremony," RJ butted in as she eyed the ring on her soon to be mother-in-law's finger. The vixen shook her head, "Not yet. We got hitched at the courthouse, but we haven't talked about nothin' formal yet."

Hubert smiled a goofy smile, "I wants us t'have a big ol' weddin'! We jist ain't figgered out when we's gonna have it yet!"

Jo giggled softly, "We was thinkin' bout holding it next month. But we're not sure if that's too soon."

Her son was still in a bit of shock as he looked between his mother, his new father, and then over at his fiancée. "I... don't think it would be too soon," he finally managed to stammer out, "I'm sure Gideon, Aunt Jeane, and Uncle Josh can make it." There was a slight pause, as Kody asked, "Are... did you take his last name?"

The vixen giggled, "I did." She looked at her son, "Are ya gonna change yers too?"

Kody thought about it for a second. "I... I'm not sure, mom," he replied, "I jist got used t'being Kody Grey."

Jo smiled, "Ya don't has t'change it if ya don't wants t'."

Hubert added, "Iz still yer daddy even if ya don't wanna be called Kody Hemming."

RJ giggled softly, "Richard wants'im t' change it t' Grey-Rowan."

The tod chuckled, the vixen giggled, the raccoon giggled, but the wolf looked confused. "Who's Richard," he asked as Jo took her husband's hand, "I'll splain it t'ya inside, sugar wolf."

Slowly, all four of them slipped inside the house.
