Luna was completely enraptured with the idea of winning a younger brother or sister, to the point of training with even more dedication to be able to protect him from harm.
Rafael could not be happier he would be father of another child. Before meeting with Nathalia the idea of having a family had never even crossed his mind, but now he could not imagine life without them.
Nathalia in turn, watched everything with pride stamped on her face, seeing them strive every day so that she herself did not pass by any difficulty or effort.
So time passed in peace and calm, and then the day of birth finally arrived. On a cold winter night, at the end of a blizzard Nathalia felt the first contractions and went into labor. And afflicted Rafael, promptly called the help of neighbors to help give birth to his child.
In a few minutes inside the house were present, besides Rafael and his daughter, his brother Michael and his neighbor John, a much older man than it appeared to be, along with his wife who was possibly a nurse.
John: "It's okay Rafael, my wife will ensure that both are fine. Don't you remember the day that Luna was born?
By saying this he gave a laugh that echoed through the silence of the room, Rafael kept distressingly look at the bedroom door where his wife was present, with thousands of thoughts circulating in his head.
Rafael ". Sighhh *" Taking a deep breath he got up without saying anything and went to the kitchen to prepare a tea to calm down a bit. Upon returning, already calmer, he sat back in his chair and looked sharply at his friend John.
Rafael: "I know that John, but even so, I think no man is able to stay calm in this situation, just look at my hands, I can not keep them still.
Miguel: "Haha I know how you feel Rafa, I felt the same way when Klaus was born, the anguish I felt in those hours was too much to stand sitting around doing nothing. But do not worry lady Nina is the best midwife in Altamira.
John: "That's right, now what you need is to relax."
With the passage of time Rafael's impatience grew, and a fear in his chest that all would be lost. Michael and John tried to distract him with small talk, while Luna, struggled to stay awake. It was already past 3 am.
Finally among the cries of his wife, a different cry rang out, a cry of a baby who has just come into the world, after a few moments, which seemed very long, the door opened and Nina appeared with a radiant smile.
Nina: "Congratulations Rafael, you have a beautiful son."
Without even wait one second Rafael ran into the room, there in the dark, with only a few candles lighting the room, he found his wife lying in bed clearly exhausted.

Her eyes was calm and gentle as he watched the little creature who slept in her arms, the baby slept peacefully in the warmth of his mother, when approaching Nathalia, she gave the child for Rafael to hold.
In his lap the baby woke up and looked at Rafael, as if he was assessing him.
Rafael: "Hello my son, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, we were all anxious to see you.
The baby had blue eyes like his father , and a little reddish hair, like Nathália, it was almost the opposite of Luna.
After looking around and inspect the room, the eyes of the baby directed to Luna who was in the doorway, watching her he began to fidget in his father's lap, stretching his little arms towards her.
Nathalia: "Hehehe, it seems he likes you, Luna."
Rafael: "You want to hold your little brother?"
Luna: "Can I?" Question the extremely lively Luna.
Rafael: "Come here, hold him carefully."
Rafael handed him carefully to Luna, she in turn, seemed to be holding an ice sculpture where the slightest mistake could break it.
In the arms of Luna, the baby stared intently into her eyes, using his hands he tried to touch her face, realizing the action of his brother, Luna approached his hand from her face when he finally managed to touch it, he gave a lovely laugh.
Seeing this scene no one in the room couldn't be moved, everyone present had their eyes covered with tears, Nathalia at that moment turned to Rafael.
Nathalia: "So what will be his name?
While thinking of a name, Rafael looked out his bedroom window, an extraordinary scene opened before him, in the sky was present the same blood moon that had appeared during the birth of Luna.
And on top of a large hill north of Altamira was the silhouette of a wolf, perhaps because of the color of the moon in the day, but anyone who saw the color of the wolf would agree that is red.
While it was bathed in the moonlight, the wolf kept howling at the moon, as if to try to reach it, looking at this scene, then at their children, Rafael had decided on what name to give to his younger son.
Rafael: "What do you think of Loup Loup Reed?"
Nathalia was also looking out the window and watching the wolf, the same idea had passed through her head, she just turned and said.
Nathalia: "Perfect."
That day Loup Reed came into the world, and his story was about to begin.
