Chapter One: Another New Day
As the sun began to rise up over Road Rover Headquarters, heralding the start of another brand new day, Hunter sat up slowly, stretching his arms and legs out. Once he was nice and limber, he looked over at his lovely angel, Colleen. The beautiful Collie was still fast asleep, and Hunter thanked God for allowing him to meet her. She made him feel as though he could take on any challenge, and no matter what, she had never left his side. He gently rubbed her shoulders and back, until she let out a soft yawn. After sitting up and getting her body all set for the new day, she said, "Morning, Huntie. How are you today?" Hunter pulled her close, and said, "I'm doing just great, sweetheart. I know that your birthday's in a couple days, so I've got a very special day planned for you." Colleen smiled, knowing that she was in for a real treat on her birthday. Hunter pressed his lips against Colleen's, and the warmth and passion of their love, made the rest of the world fade away, until they both had to come up for air. Hunter said, "I love you, Colleen…and I always will." Colleen wrapped her arms around Hunter's shoulders, and replied, "I love you too, Huntie-Wuntie." After hugging his sweet angel again, Hunter walked over to Kayla's crib, and gently rubbed his youngest daughter's head. The adorable little girl looked up at Hunter, and a smile crossed her tiny face. Hunter smiled back, and then he gently lifted her up, cradling her in his arms. He said, "How's daddy's precious little angel today, hmm?" Kayla made soft cooing sounds, and Hunter said, "I think somebody's hungry…", before handing her to Colleen, so that he could grab a bottle. Opening the refrigerator, he pulled out one of the bottles, and then he handed it to Colleen. She sat down on the bed, and brought the bottle up, so that Kayla could drink it. As soon as she was finished, Kayla snuggled up against her mother, while Hunter went in for a shower. Hunter came out, and what he saw, made his heart melt. Colleen, the twins, and Kayla, were all building a castle together, using the castle building blocks that Kayla had gotten for a Christmas present from Starlight. Hunter walked over, and he soon joined in the fun. After about an hour, they finally had the castle completed, and it looked just like the illustration on the box. Starlight came in, and said, "Oh my…this has to be one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. Hunter, you and Colleen…you're wonderful together, honestly. I'm so proud to have you for a son, not to mention Colleen as my daughter, and my three adorable grandchildren." Hunter and Colleen both replied, "Thanks, mom!" The happy family of six got together for a family picture, once Hunter had set the camera up. They formed a circle around the castle, with Alexander and Cassie up front, and Kayla sitting on her sister's lap. Hunter and Colleen had their arms around each other's shoulders, and Starlight sat right behind them. The camera went off, and Hunter pressed the button to slide the picture out. He showed it to his family, and then slid it into the photo album, which they kept in a fireproof safe in the wall. Once that was done, Hunter and the rest of his family headed downstairs for breakfast.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Hunter could smell that someone was already hard at work making breakfast. Blitz said, "Morning, Hunter!" Hunter smiled, and replied, "Morning, Blitz. I didn't know you could cook…how long have you been hiding that from us, huh?" Blitz answered, "Well…I learned some from watching the cooks at my owner's home, and Samantha taught me some as well." Blitz went back to the omelets he was preparing, along with the bacon, hashbrowns, and sausages. Once he'd gotten everyone's eggs done how they liked them, he dished up the meal, and then they all dug in. Samantha looked over at Colleen, and asked, "So, Colleen…has Hunter said anything about what he plans to do for your birthday on Saturday?" Colleen swallowed a forkfull of her hashbrowns, and replied, "No, not really…although he did say that he was gonna make it a birthday that I'd never forget." Starlight added, "You certainly are blessed, Colleen…Hunter truly is your one and only soulmate. I'm so proud of you both. You've stood by one another, through all of the various hardships that have come your way, and you've weathered the storms together. I know that, as long as you keep your faith and love for one another strong, that nothing can stand in your way." She pulled her son and daughter into a hug, and they both returned the embrace, before going back to their meals. Once they'd finished up, Blitz and Samantha took care of the dishes, and then they all headed out to the beach, to enjoy some of the beautiful summer sun. Hunter and Colleen started having swimming races, out to the first marker, about two hundred feet from the shore. Alexander, Cassie, Karina, and Alek all began making a sandcastle together, while Starlight read a book to Kayla. Blitz and Samantha played a game of catch, while Exile relaxed with Kasha underneath a tree. Exile said, "Kasha, is such beautiful day, and I am luckiest dog on Earth…I get to spend another wonderful day, with most beautiful female dog in world at my side. I love you, my precious snowflower." Kasha rested her head on Exile's shoulder, and gently rubbed his cheek with one hand. She said, "I love you too, Exile…and I always will." After a few hours, Hunter dashed back into the Headquarters, grabbed some bread, some roast beef, cheese, and some potato chips, along with some sodas, and headed back outside. He pulled out a checkered blanket, which Colleen helped him to spread out underneath some palm trees, and then, all of them gathered around, to enjoy their picnic lunch. Hunter planned on heading out to pick up a gift for Colleen's birthday, and he knew exactly what he wanted, something that would symbolize the undying love that he would always have in his heart, for the wonderful female dog that he'd been so fortunate to be able to share his life with. Even though they'd been married for five years now, Hunter had never ceased to be amazed with all of Colleen's wonderful talents. She was strong, brave, loyal, and a formidable fighter, as well as a wonderful wife, a great friend, and the perfect mother for their children. She was as sweet and gentle with them, as she was dangerous to any of her enemies. Hunter looked over at her, as she piled some chips onto her plate, after making herself a roast beef sandwich, with cheese. She reached for the cooler with the sodas, but couldn't quite get to it. Hunter said, "What can I get for you, sweetheart?" Colleen replied, "A Pepsi would hit the spot, Huntie." Hunter smiled, and said, "One Pepsi, coming up." He fished around, until he spotted one of the dark blue cans. He pulled it out, and handed it to his lovely wife. She replied, "Thanks, Huntie." He leaned over and kissed her gently on the nose, and then set about making his own lunch. They all enjoyed themselves, not knowing that they would soon be called into action once again.
