It has been a couple of months since our daring escape from Dodger and the gang. And a few good things came out of our reveal of our love for our now mates. Rita and I are both expecting puppies. Needless to say, she's showed a bit more than I am because of how slender she is. Since I'm much more furrier than her, it's kind of hard to see my extended belly. I must admit, I can't wait to be the mother to my pups that I've never had. It felt so amazing. Rita was currently remaining at Jenny's place while the puppies were still newborns.
Today, I decided to visit my father and Kaiden to reveal the big news about my and Dodger's pups. Kaiden probably grew so much since the last time I saw him. He was so small the last time I saw him. Lucky for me, I remembered where father lived.
I find them sitting in the backyard once again. Kaiden was playing with a bone. My gosh he's grown so much. I noticed how he was wearing a red collar around his neck with a name tag on it. Kind of like the one Ryan had a while back. Father wasn't outside but he will once he knows I'm here to visit. I trot towards the gate.
Kaiden noticed me right off the bat. "Sis! Sis, you came back!" he exclaimed, immediately dropping his bone and running towards me in full sprint. His floppy ears lowered when he sees me. "Hey, there little bro. How've you been?" I ask, smiling at how big he's gotten since I last saw him. He pawed at my face gently and licked my muzzle as I had it lowered. "It's been so great, sis! You've missed so much! I gotta tell father you're here!" he said, running inside the house to get father.
I sit down and felt my extended belly put a little pressure on my forelegs. Can't wait to tell them that I'm pregnant. Needless to say, Dad will ask who the father is. I kind of figured as such because from what I understand, most parents are like that with their children. I gaze down at my belly with a smile as I see it slightly move along with a tugging pain. That meant that my pups were kicking.
"Rose, it's good to see you again, dear." Dad said, getting me to look up. My ears raised at seeing him. A broad smile appeared on my face when I see him. "Hey Dad. Sorry I haven't been around lately. Been quite busy." I say, standing back up. When I did, the pressure on my stomach made it hard for me to stand. Concern replaced the pleased look on his face. He rushes to my side. "You alright, dear?" he asked, supporting me. "Ugh… yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." I say, lifting my head up. Kaiden noticed this as well.
"Sis? What's wrong with your stomach?" he asked, glancing at my stomach with a tilted head. "Nothing. Why do you ask?" I answer, glancing down at the curious pup. "It wasn't getting bigger last time I saw you." he responded, still looking at my expanded belly. Dad looked at me then at my belly also. "Good eye, son. Something tells me that… I'm going to be a grandpa and you're going to be an uncle." he said proudly, smiling at the two of us. The face I made showed that I was caught red handed.
"You two caught me. I'm indeed pregnant." I say, glancing at the two of them. Kaiden then started bouncing around in an excited manner. "I'm gonna be an uncle! I'm gonna be an uncle! Yes, yes, yes!" he said, starting to run around the yard to let out his excitement. Dad and I chuckled at Kaiden's enthusiasm.
"Should I know who the father is then?" he asked. My ears lay back a little bit and I shut my eyes with a short smile. "Heh, I figured you'd ask that. His name is Dodger." I answer, opening my eyes. Dad tilted his head some. "Who's Dodger?" he asked puzzled. "Looks like I got some explaining to do." I said in a bashful chuckle. I then proceed to tell him who Dodger is and everyone in our gang.
"Well he better treat my daughter right. Will I get to meet your gang? I'm pretty sure Kaiden will want to meet them as well." he asked. "Well, our pups are coming anytime so it might not be for a little while. But they're aware of you and Kaiden so they're looking forward to meet you and him." I answer, feeling as though my and Dodger's pups will be arriving soon. "I see. I can't thank you enough for stopping by. Will I be able to see my grandpups soon?" he asked brightly. "Of course dad. I want my kids to have you in their lives." I agreed. That made him extremely happy because I was giving him the opportunity to be a part of his grandpups lives. Something that he never got to experience with me at such a young age.
"Aw… you're leaving already?" Kaiden asked cutely, laying his ears back. "Only for a bit Kaiden. My pups will be arriving in due time. I'll let you know when they get here. I'll send someone to get you and dad because I won't be able to move after I have them." I tell him, giving him some affectionate nuzzles. He raised up on his hind legs and he put his forepaws on my muzzle. "Please don't take long…" he said in a whisper. "I won't. Promise." I whisper. After a while, I begin to leave. Before I did, I take a glance to look behind me with a smile to see Kaiden sitting at the gate with his floppy ears raised. He didn't want me to leave but I had too. If I wasn't pregnant and close to having them, I would've stayed longer.
