Lady and the Tramp 3: Scamp's New Family
Chapter 1:The Pups are Born
The gray and tan terrier-schnauzer mix paced nervously back and forth across the yard. "Oh, man, I hope she's alright," the dog, Scamp, mumbled. His identical father, Tramp, put a comforting paw on his shoulder and said, "Calm yourself, Whirlwind. Angel's a street dog. She's tough. I'm sure she's fine."
Scamp tried to smile at his father. "Yeah, Dad, I know, I'm just...worried." He cast his eyes at the ground. Tramp sighed and shook his head. "You know, Scamp, I was just as worried when your mother was giving birth to you and your sisters. But she was fine, and Angel will be, too." Scamp took a deep breath. "You're right, Dad. I'm overreacting. Angel's gonna be fine."
Scamp couldn't believe he was going to be a father. He remembered those many months ago when he was just a curious pup looking for adventure, when he met the cream colored Lhasa Apso/ Pomerianian mix. And now, he was going to have his very own pups. He couldn't wait. Soon, Scamp heard Angel's voice. "Scamp, they're coming!" Scamp gasped and ran inside, nearly crashing into a statue sitting by the door.
He ran into the room where Angel was lying in her basket. She smiled as he cautiously approached. Scamp smiled and nuzzled his mate. "Don't worry, Angel, I'm here for you." Angel smiled. "I know you are." She then laid her head down and began to breathe heavily. "Scamp, they're...they're c-coming."
Scamp bent down and put his head next to Angel's. "Don't panic, okay? Just do what comes naturally." Angel nodded, and went to work, her mate by her side. Tramp and his mate, Lady, as well as Scamp's three sisters, Annette, Collette, and Danielle, stayed out of the room, knowing they had better stay out.
Soon, seven pups were nursing at Angel's stomach. Extremely tired, she laid her head down and rested. Scamp's heart swelled up with happiness as he looked at the seven pups squirming and fighting for their first meal. Scamp gently nuzzled Angel, and she opened her eyes."Hey, you look pretty tired, okay? You want to name them later?" Angel nodded, then went back to sleep.
Tramp, Lady, and Scamp's sisters came in cautiously and looked in the basket. Lady looked as if she might burst with joy. "I'm a grandmother!" she announced happily. Annette replied, "Yes, Mother, and we are aunts!" Collette nodded and said, "I can't wait to spend time with the girl pups and teach them proper manners!" Tail wagging furiously, Danielle shouted out, "Yeah!", before being shushed by the others, so as not to wake Angel.
Tramp only smiled. "Well, just look at me, I'm a grandfather. Real up in years, aren't I?" Scamp smiled back and tugged on Tramp's ear. "Dad, come on, you're not that old!" Tramp chuckled. "Yeah, right." Everyone cleared out of the room to give Angel some peace and quiet. Scamp looked back and smiled at his new family as he left.
Okay, end of chapter 1! In the next chapter, the pups will be named! Okay, this is my first story, so no rude reviews. Criticism is allowed, as long as it is polite and/or constructive, but no outright rude reviews.
