Parker’s beer glass sat empty in front of him as he sat waiting in the Grizzly Inn. The long days of him waiting to break the news to his son was over. He was finally going to say it. He was finally going to say what he meant to say to the boy for many years. He sighed happily with a smile on his lips as he tipped the glass to an angle.

As he signaled to the bartender to refill his glass, Yukon Berland walked in. The boy was tall and looked wasted already as college took its toll on him. His hair was short in the back but long in the front. A long strand of hair ran in front of his ear with a brown bead with red stripes on it. He was Codi’s son.

Parker waved to Yukon as the boy waltz his way over to him with a smile.

“Hey Uncle Parker.” He greeted him while ordering up a beer for himself and taking a seat beside him.

“Hello Yukon.” Parker nodded as the bartender walked over, handing the two a beer.

The two men clanked glasses together as they took a sip of their delicious beer. Yukon’s glass hit the counter first as he let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s the stuff. I defiantly needed that to settle my nerves.” Yukon moaned as he tapped the side of the glass.

“Classes getting hard on you?” Parker asked as he took another sip.

“Yeah. You could say that. I mean, there’s more to say but I’m not willing to share, if you don’t mind. Kinda want to keep some things to myself.” Yukon replied.

“No no. It’s okay. We all got our secrets.” Parker shrugged as he, once again, took a sip of his beer.

“Yeah. I wish I could tell people my issues but no one will like them. They would hate them.” Yukon added.

Parker just shrugged as he stared at his beer glass.

“Anyway, what did you want to tell me? I know you have something to tell me because you’ve been building whatever it is up to say to me for the weeks we’ve been drinking here. I know there’s something.” Yukon stated as his fingers tapped on the bar counter.

“Well, at first you won’t believe me and I understand that. I mean, you’ve been basically lied to for you entire life.” Parker paused then continued. “Your mother lied to you. Your father has lied to you but I bet he didn’t know or even noticed. Hell, Even Chesney lied to you.” Parker clenched his fist as the anger in him was building up with nerves to join along.

“What do you mean my mother and my father lied to me? What are you getting at?” Yukon snapped as he was about to get off his stool to leave.

“What I am getting at, Yukon, is that Martin is not your fuckin father. I am.” Parker unclenched his fist as he picked up his beer to drink the rest of it.

Yukon laughed a bit as he stared at Parker with confusion. “You must be yanking my bear ears.”

“I am not yanking your damn ears, Yukon!” Parker snapped at him as a soft growl lifted from his throat. “That damn silly lame of a bear is not your father. I am. I’ve been wanting to tell you for so long but Codi wouldn’t allow me to do so. She doesn’t want to ruin what she has with Martin.” Parker rolled his eyes and so badly needed another beer.

Yukon was silent. His dark complexion caught in the dim light of the bar as his face was filled with shock of the news. “How? How can you be my father?” He finally spoke up.

“Oh Come on, Yukon! Look at you! You look nothing like him. Martin is as white as a sheet of paper and your skin is darker then your mothers’. You look nothing like your brothers and sisters. You got the dark brown hair, the built of me, and best of all, you turn into a grizzly bear when you transform while the rest are black bears. If that doesn’t put up signs for you then I don’t know what!” Parker snarled and slammed his fist onto the counter making the bartender to turn and look.

Yukon sighed angrily as he glared at Parker. “All this time you knew and you’re now finally telling me this?”

“Yes. But I would have told you sooner if your mother allowed me. Listen to what I am saying, Yukon.”

“I don’t have to listen to a damn word you’re saying. There is no way my mother would ever sneak behind MY father’s back just to mate with you.”

“Oh. How wrong you are. How do you think you came to be?”

“I think I came to be from when my mother and father mated in the mated tent. That’s what she told me.” Yukon lashed as he was about to hit Parker in the face.

“Oh no. That’s not how.” Parker chuckled. “I can remember that night as if it was yesterday. Codi and I were in Chesney’s home the week before she was getting married to Martin. We both went into heat at the same time. The heat took hold of us and we mated with each other. That was the best night of my life. That’s how you came to be. Ever sense then, we kept it a secret. Eventually Chesney found out that Codi, his own daughter, has done something bad. Now she has to live with what she has done. And that is you, my boy.”

“Don’t call me that. And I am not your boy.” Yukon lashed out as he took a sip of his beer.

“Yes. You are my boy. You want the DNA test? I have them with me just in case you want to know for sure.” Parker began to dig around in his heavy jacket, looking for a folded up letter.

“Why the hell not? You want to say that I’m your son, I want to see the cold hard stone proof that I am.”

“Fine. Here’s the proof.” Parker said as he finally found the letter and sat the bended up letter in front of Yukon. Yukon took it up in a hurry and opened it.

Yukon’s face went from concentration to shock as he kept reading the letter of proof. He couldn’t believe what his eyes where reading. Parker was his father no matter what he was trying to get at.

“I can’t believe that my own parents lied to me and told me, for my whole damn life, that Martin is not my father. That my true father was the one who I kept calling ‘Uncle’.” Yukon’s anger was building up more as fangs emerge from his mouth.

“I know how you feel. You’ve been lied to for most of your life.”

“Yeah.” Yukon nodded in agreement as he tried to settle down some. “I just don’t know what to think about this whole thing now. That you’re my father and not the one who I called my father.” Yukon bit his lip as he handed the letter back to Parker.

“At least you know now. I know Codi won’t be too happy with me mentioning it to you. She might come after me and cut my throat open but it’ll buff out.” Parker shrugged and took the letter back, tucking it away in his jacket.

Yukon exhaled a long moan of anger as he got up from his seat. “I’m going to go and talk to my mother. I want to see what she has to say about this. I apologize in advance if she comes after you to, uh, cut your throat out. I just want to know her side of the story. I want to see her face and see how she reacts when she knows damn well she lied to me. No wonder I always got the cold shoulder from Martin. It’s her fault. Both of yours fault. And I thought mating with the enemy was worst but this just tips the bottle. I’ll see you around. Hopefully not dead with your throat cut open. Bye Parker.” And with that, Yukon up and left leaving Parker alone at the bar with an empty glass and a hurt expression.

The End.
