Jeremy: We are back, with another chapter of this story. It was a long week, so we did a lot of things, for the week. Like, last night we went to a Komets game.

Lilly: Yeah, we did go to a Komets game last night. Komets vs. the Indianapolis Fuel. It was a good game, but the Komets got beat in overtime last night, by the score of 3-2. I just wished that the game would go into a shoot-out.

Jeremy: *chuckles* I know, I wished that the game would go into a shoot-out. Some of you were probably wondering about what's going to happen in this chapter. So, don't worry. I have worked on this chapter all week. So, here is the next chapter of the story. Enjoy the chapter, everyone.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

(Kate's POV) still

I'm thinking that this will be a best day for all of us. I looked at the clock and it's about 10am in the morning. Colin and Dustin are still playing that game on the game system. The others are just talking, while some of them are watching them play the game.

"Come on, Dad. You can beat him." Wildfire said, cheering on her Dad. Ginger nodded at this and said "Come on, Dad. Try to win this match." Their mates, Blaze and Shane just chuckled at this. Dustin is beating the crap out of Colin on the game. Colin is doing what he can, to win another match against him.

"I think your Dad is going to win!" I said, smiling and my tail wagging. Ginger smiled at this and said "I hope so. I just don't want Dad, to lose another match against Colin." Talyson growled at them and said "I want Colin to win again. Colin is a good player on this game."

I chuckled at this and said "Yeah, I agree with you Talyson. Colin, is a good player on this game. He is even good on it." Talyson nodded her head in agreement and said "Yeah, I'm glad that I have a good mate." Colin, finally got some advantage against Dustin and beat him in the match. He won two matches in a row.

"Wow, Colin. That was a pretty good match up this time. You want to go again?" Dustin asked him. Colin shook his head and said "Nah, I'm going to let someone else play against you." Dustin chuckled at this and said "Okay, who wants to play against me this time?"

They all looked at each other, until Ginger raised up her paw. "I'll face against you Dad. I want to see if I can beat you." Dustin chuckled and said "Okay, come up here." Colin got off the couch as Ginger got up there and picked up the controller with her paws.

"Okay, what kind of match do you want to do?" Dustin asked her. Ginger shrugged and said "I think a singles match would do." So, Dustin puts it on the singles match and they picked their superstars. Colin and Talyson came up to me to talk.

"Come on, Talyson. What is going on?" Colin said, smiling at her. Talyson is getting a little upset and said "I'm going to tell you what's going on. I'm getting a mood swing! I'm getting upset a little bit." Colin backed up a bit, which made me chuckle.

"Colin, it's a good thing that you backed up. You just don't know when, she might hurt someone." I said, smiling a bit. Talyson looks at me and said "What do you mean, it's a good thing that he backed up. HE'S MY MATE AND NOT YOURS!" Now, it's my turn to back up this time.

Colin sighed and said "Talyson, dear. Would you please calm down." She shook her head and said "NO, I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN. I'm just upset with you. I'm going outside to calm down." Talyson got up and went out the door."

Colin looks like he is going to cry, so I said "Don't worry, Colin. She is just having a mood swing. Just give her some time to calm down." He nodded at this and said "All right, I think, I'll just let her calm down right now. I know that she is having a mood swing right now."

I nodded and said "Yup, I know how it felt when I got a mood swing. I did the same thing to Dustin, when I was first pregnant." Colin chuckled at this and said "I didn't know that you did that to Dustin." I chuckled too and said "Yeah, so did your Mom. She did the same thing to your Dad."

He just smiled and said "It's a good thing that it don't last long on the mood swings, when she gets them. I know, Mom had one the other night." I nodded at this and said "Yeah, I heard about that. I heard her in the bathroom that one night."

He nodded and said "Yeah, I think that is when she had the morning sickness. I know that the morning sickness don't last long. Only, for about three or four weeks." I chuckled at this and said "Yeah, it only lasts about three to four weeks, for the morning sickness. I think, you should go check up on your mate. I think, that she needs you right now."

Colin nodded at this and said "All right, I'm going to check on her." I gave him a hug and said "Go check up on Talyson. I know she might be calm down right now." Colin got up and went out the door to check up on Talyson.

(Colin's POV)

I went out the door to check up on my mate. I can hear her crying out here, but I can't find her. I went to the grassy area and found her laying down, crying with her paws on her eyes. I went up to her and nuzzled her. She did jumped a bit and just sighed.

"I know you just have the mood swing, dear." I said, sighing too. She sighed and said "I'm sorry for what happened in there. I just don't want to yell." I nuzzled her again and said "It's not your fault. It's just the mood swings are kicking in. These things are bound to happen."

She nodded her head and said "So, how long will I have the mood swings." I chuckled at this and said "Oh, it's only until the pups are born. The mood swings only happens when you are pregnant." Talyson nuzzled me and said "It's a good thing that you are here, with me right now. Thank you, for letting me cool down. I'm just don't want this to happen."

I chuckled at this and said "I know, you don't want this to happen. It happens to Aunt Kate and Mom too." She laughed at this and said "Oh, really. I didn't know that." I nodded and then said "Yeah, it did happen when they are pregnant the first time. My Mom did yelled at my Dad the other night."

She chuckled with her tail wagging and said "I noticed that. I hope your Mom didn't hurt your Dad." I chuckled and said "No, she didn't hurt my Dad. She just had a mood swing and almost bit him." She looked at me in shock and said "Your Mom almost bit your Dad. How could she do that?"

I shrugged and said "It is just a mood swing. Do you have to go to the bathroom since we are both out here." She nodded at this and said "Yeah, I think I do needed to go." She got up and went to the other part of the grassy area to do her business and came back to me.

"Ahh, I think I feel better now. I think we should head inside." she said, smiling. I smiled to and said "Not yet. I still got to go." She chuckled at this and said "Alright, then go then." I chuckled as I got up and went to the part, that she did her business at. I marked it as we are mates, so the others dogs won't get to her. I went back to her and she is smiling.

"What are you smiling about, love?" I said, smiling. She smiled even more and said "Nothing, I was just watching you doing your business." I chuckled at this and said "I was watching you when you did yours." She laughed at this and said "Sicko. I'm just kidding. Let's go inside." I nodded and said "Yeah, let's go inside."

So, we both got up from the grassy area and went back inside. Ginger and Uncle Dustin are still playing that game and we just went to lay down on the floor. We are both watching them play and then Uncle Dustin beat her.

Ginger chuckled and said "Wow, that was a very good match. You did beat me this time." Uncle Dustin chuckled at this and said "Yeah, you beat me in the first match and I beat you in the second match. We both tied this time." Aunt Kate just smiled at the both of them.

"I think we should just watch TV now. I think the show is on." Grandma Eve said, smiling. Uncle Dustin smiled at this and said "All right, I'll turn the game system off, for right now." He got up and turned the game system off. He changed it to the TV and our show is on now. We are watching the show that Grandma Eve, likes to watch.

(Lilly's POV) at work

It is just about 2pm to get off of work. Jeremy still hasn't asked for the day off for mine and Kate's birthday. The manager came to us and said "I will give you and Dustin that day off. I know you want to spend the birthday with your wife." Jeremy smiled at this and said "Thanks, I really appreciate it. It would mean a lot to Lilly and Kate."

The manager smiled and said "I know. I did the same thing for my kids. It just part of the family." I chuckled and said "Yeah, it is just part of the family. I like to thank you though." The manager chuckled and said "No problem, Lilly. I know Dustin and Kate would be coming in now."

Right as the manager said that, they came right in the door. They looked at us and Dustin said "Hey guys. Did you both have a good day." I nodded and said "Yeah, we had a great day. The manager gave all four of us the day off for our birthday."

Kate squealed with joy and said "That is great. We was going to asked him the same thing." I chuckled and said "Don't worry about it now. We already asked him for you both." Dustin smiled at this and said "Thanks, you two. That really helps us out."

Jeremy smiled at this and said "No problem. We are just about to get off from work. So, how are the kids doing." Kate smiled at this and said "They are doing good. Dustin and the kids played the game system and then watch TV. So, it was a good day."

I chuckled at this and said "That is good. Did anything happen when we are at work." Kate nodded and then said "Yeah, Talyson got her mood swings." I sighed at this and said "I know, she is going to have her mood swings soon. I just know it."

Jeremy stroke me on my back making me purr and said "So do I, love. I just know that she is going to have her mood swings." I chuckled at this and said "Yeah, so do I. Just like I have that mood swing a couple of days ago." Jeremy nodded at this and said "Yeah, it was a couple days ago. I know you might get more."

I nodded at this and said "Yeah, don't remind me about that." Kate nodded her head in agreement and said "Yeah, just don't remind us. I had one just before I got here." I looked at Kate in shock and said "You just had a mood swing before coming here."

Kate nodded and said "Yeah, I just got one before I got here. It's a good thing, it didn't last long." Dustin chuckled at this and said "Yeah, it's a good thing that it didn't last long. It only happened for a couple of seconds." Kate chuckled at this and said "Good thing too. I didn't want to do anything bad to you, babe."

Dustin stroke Kate on the back making her purr and said "You didn't do anything bad to me. But, we better clock it. It's two o'clock already." Kate and Dustin went to the back to the office area to clock in. I looked at the clock and it is indeed 2pm right now.

"Wow, it's two o'clock right now." I said, chuckling. Jeremy chuckled too and said "Yeah, we just have to wait till they are back out here. Then, I would have to closed out my register." I chuckled at this and said "Why do you have to closed out your register for."

Jeremy chuckled at this and said "It's so I would see if my register is over or not." I nodded at this as Dustin and Kate came out of the back office after clocking in. "Okay, now I have to closed my register now. It will be a few minutes, love." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and said "All right, just hurry up."

Kate chuckled at this and said "He has to close out the register does he." I nodded and said "Yeah, he has to close out his register. It will only takes about a few minutes." Dustin nodded at this and said "It's part of the company policy to do so. We have to do that tonight, Kate."

Kate nodded at this and said "I know that. It just takes a few minutes that for sure." I nodded my head in agreement and said "That's what Jeremy said." Sure enough, Jeremy closed out his register and he was over about five cents.

"That is pretty good for the day's work. I hope you can do good today Dustin." Jeremy said, smiling. Dustin chuckled at this and said "I think that we will. I hope you have a good rest of the day at home." I smiled at this and said "I think that we will. So come on, babe. Let's go home." Jeremy gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "Okay, love. Let's go home."

So we said our good-byes to Kate and Dustin and we went out of the building and into our car and started to head home. It only took about ten minutes drive to get home and we got out of the car and we got inside of the apartment. Where everyone is taking a nap.

I smiled at this and said "I think we should just go into our room for a bit. Let's just relax in there." He nodded and then said "I think that you are right, love. Let's go into our room to relax." So we went into our room to relax and Jeremy turned on the TV in our room and turned down the volume so the others won't be able to hear it.

"So, what are you watching right now, babe." I said, giggling. He chuckled a bit and said "I'm just watching the news. Got to keep an eye on things back in Indiana."

I put a smile on my face and said "Now why do you want to do that?" He chuckled again and said "Well, I want to keep an eye on the weather here and Indiana. It's so, I don't worry about my parents that much." I chuckled at this and said "That is a good thing right."

He nodded and said "Yeah, it is a good thing. I just want to keep track of the weather." We both watch the weather report and it got a snow storm back home. I was shock at least and I think they got a lot of snow there.

"Did Indiana got a snow storm there?" I asked him. He nodded and said "Yeah, Indiana did get a snow storm. It's a good thing that we are here in Arizona. We get nice weather here." I nodded at this and said "Yeah, it's a good thing we get nice weather here, than back in Indiana. I wonder what you're parents are doing right now."

After I said that, his phone went off. Jeremy looks at the caller ID and it is his parents. Jeremy picked up the phone and answered it. He is talking to his parents for awhile on the phone, while I was still watching the weather report. It will be sunny for the rest of the day here. I'm thinking of going swimming in a bit. Jeremy got off the phone and sat on the bed next to me, smiling.

"What are you smiling about, babe?" I said, with my tail wagging. He smiled and said "They said they are in a snow storm and they are glad that we are in Arizona. They are doing fine in the snow storm right now. So that is good news."

I nodded at this and said "That is good news. They are happy that we are in Arizona." He nodded at this and said "Yeah, they are happy about it. So, what is on your mind right now."

I chuckled at this and said "I'm thinking, that we should go swimming later today. It's going to be sunny for the rest of the day." He nodded at this and said "I think that will be good for the day. I think we should wait for the kids to get up though."

I chuckled and said "I think so too. I think they will be planning the same thing." He nodded at this and said "I think that they will too. I think we should eat some dinner after that." I chuckled and said "Oh, what are we going to have for dinner."

He thought for a moment and said "I think we should have some caribou hamburgers. I think that will be good." I licked my chops and said "I think that will be good too. You think that the kids are up right now. We've been in here for a half hour."

He nodded at this and said "Yeah, we should go out there and see if they are up now." We both got up from the bed and went out of the bedroom, to see if they are up yet.

(Colin's POV)

I heard the door opened and our parents are home. But, I didn't wake up to see them. We are a little tired from playing the game system and watching TV. I felt someone stirring and I looked beside me and Talyson is awake.

I smiled and said "Well, hello there beautiful." She blushed and said "Hello, yourself handsome. I think, I took a good nap." I nodded my head in agreement and said "I think so too. Is the others up yet." She nodded her head and said "Yeah, the others are up. I think that they went outside."

I chuckled and said "Well, it's just us two for a few minutes. I wonder, what's Mom and Dad are planning, when they got home." As I said that Mom and Dad came out of the bedroom.

"Hi, Mom and Dad. Did you have the day off for Mom's birthday." I asked Dad. Dad smiled and said "Yeah, we got the day off for Mom's birthday. We also got Dustin a day off for Kate's birthday too." My tail started wagging and said "That's great. Now, we just can't wait for the birthday to come around." The others are starting to come in the door and we are all starting to plan for the rest of the day.
