"I need to voice my concern" Hoseok said getting everyone's attention as they packed the little cave up after Jiyoo was a month old. "I honestly don't think we should be traveling with a young baby and a pregnant mate who is actually just starting to show and it's extremely cute" the fox told them as he stood on the cart.

"While I 100% agree with that I know we are unable to stay here anymore" Namjoon said tossing the furs into the back of the cart. "I've been sensing my pack nearby and I've heard them howl in the night"

Jimin looked up at him as if he had seen a ghost. "Wait you're serious?" He questioned softly as he held his hands close to his bare chest. "I decided to not tell you for the past week in fear of scaring you, but Jin and I think you need to know why we made this decision" the wolf told them as he pulled Jimin into a hug and lifted him up.

"We will be at the river town by nightfall and we will steal a boat and by the time they realize we are gone it will be too late" he told them his plan. "It will take a few weeks to finish getting to the other side of the desert so we need to bring a lot of food so the ones not pulling the cart or watching Jiji will be helping with finding food"

The jaguar walked out with Jiyoo in his arms all wrapped up in furs. "Are we ready?" He asked stepping up into the wagon holding her close to his chest. She smiled and he shook his head giggling at her. "She looks so cute when she passes gas" Jungkook said poking her chubby cheek.

Taehyung was about to climb up the cart as well when Namjoon came up behind him and picked him up placing him in a seat. "You need to relax I know you've been under a lot of stress" the alpha said. Taehyung examined his face a moment seeing the scans and cuts healed but still visible. His eyes instantly fill with sadness as he opened his arms crawling back out of the car into him. "I love you" he whimpered softly into his neck as the alpha soothingly rubbed up and down his bare back. "Love you too Tae bear"

The mouse came out with the final few things like random spoons. "All packed let's go" he said picking up a handle on the cart. Namjoon kissed Taehyung's head and handed the openly sobbing boy to Hoseok who cooed and wiped the tears away tenderly with the pads of his thumbs with sweet 'don't cries'.

Hours later Namjoon lead them all to the docks and picked out the nicest boat and loaded their own personal things in before he, Jin, and Hoseok left to find more food because once they left there was no other town for 2 weeks. A couple of barrels later filled with fish and green beans and corn they were on their way.

Lil time skippy

"Oh my god I can't handle it anymore" Hoseok whined as he was visibly green and constantly puking over the side of the boat. Yoongi was rubbing his back and soothingly peppering kisses across the exposed skin. "I know we are just having some rough water. You need to drink and eat something or you'll get dehydrated" he told him leading him to lay down on the little couch.

He dabbed the cloth across his forehead and looked up into the sky. One week. In one week they would hit the last human village and then they would be into the free land. Apparently there were hybrid towns where they would live. More like tribes and little huts but the thought appealed to him but the haunting questions of if they accepted their relationship for being a little past the norms.

Jin was steering them and Namjoon took over at night. Taehyung had taken to the same sleeping schedule as the alpha because he constantly wanted to be held by him but he would also go to everyone else. Like right now he was sleeping in Jungkook's lap who was in the cabin with Jiji and Jimin.

"I'm tired of eating fish and green beans" the fox snapped as he was sick and upset. The mouse didn't take it to heart and pecked his cheek. "Me too but just one more week Seokie"

Down in the cabin Jimin was changing her diaper and blowing raspberries on her tummy. She had gotten her weight back and because Jin was constant about feeding her on a schedule she was sleeping through the night. Jungkook was sitting up in the bed talking to Jimin while Tae was using his thigh as a pillow.

"Taehyung is gonna have his baby in the hybrid land" Jungkook placed his hand across his stomach and smiled. "I'm excited for Jiyoo to have a sibling so close in age" the elder admits finishing and laying her on the ground on a fur for tummy time.

"Do you want a baby someday?" Jungkook asked him as he pet Tae's hair. "Um I think so, but not right now it would be too messy with trying to find a home" he said shyly "what about you?"

"I don't think so, at least I don't want to be the one birthing it. Besides they are all gonna be my babies wether they have my DNA or not" Jungkook said with a shrug. It was like how Jimin was almost inseparable with the baby who was awfully adorable.

"True" Jimin said with a small grin "but I still want to try" he said walking over to the bed and sitting beside Jungkook and laying his head on his shoulder. "I love you" the elder said lacing their fingers together.

"I love you too and I can't wait to get off this fucking boat" he said resting his head back against the wood as the boat swayed slightly.
