Well, hello everyone! After such a long hiatus, my muse for Brian and Barbara has returned!
The sun was setting over the beach in Quahog. It was the end to any normal day for everyone, all except two special people. Brian and Barbara held hands as they walked along the beach, letting the waves splash along their feet. It was their tenth wedding anniversary, a very special milestone for the two of them.
"Barbara?" Brian said as he looked down at his wife. "What are you thinking about?"
"I just can't believe we've been together", she smiled kissing his cheek. "It feels just like yesterday you found me in an alley."
"It seems just like yesterday we had our pups", he added, kissing the top of her head.
"Of course it seemed like only yesterday", Stewie said interrupting from the water.
The two dogs looked at the baby who floated in the water with an inflatable toy to keep him safe. Barbara gave a smile before turning to Brian who covered his face with his hand.
"It's only been 10 years in dog years", Stewie said. "It's only been over a year you've been together."
"Remind me why we brought him again?" he sighed.
"We promised Lois we would watch over him", she shrugged.
They looked back at their pups who were watching over Stewie, having fun on the beach. Briana, Ollie, Jenny, and Marcus had grown into amazing dogs, ready to go out on their own. Briana and Ollie had taken after their father, earning their GED, and getting accepted into Brown University. Barbara and Brian couldn't be more proud of their children.
"I don't think I can ever thank you enough", Brian said holding her close.
"Thank me for what?" she said as she wrapped his arms around him with a smile.
"The best years of my life", he said. "Marrying me, giving me four beautiful kids. I just feel like the luckiest dog in the world. You've made me very happy."
"I can make you even happier", Barbara smiled.
His tail wagged as he looked at her, wondering what she had in mind. She held his hand as they walked back to the group.
"I have a big surprise for everyone", Barbara announced, getting everyone's attention.
The pups brought Stewie out of the water as they sat on the sand. Brian sat down, looking at Barbara, waiting for her to speak. They watched as she placed her hands on her flat stomach.
"I'm going to have another litter", she said with a smile.
Everyone's jaws dropped as they looked at her shocked. Brian looked at her almost speechless until her got up.
"Puppies?" he asked. "That can't… I thought…"
"Ew!" Marcus said looking at them. "You guys still do that?"
