Malshall left his doghouse and headed for the golden doghouse under the tree

it was doghouse Evi

Ryder accepted her as an alternate, she was trained and could replace any member of the patrol

She liked to replace zuma the most for obvious reasons, and least to Skye because her helicopter is small and she has to keep bent down because the propellers would cut off her head

until remembers how, after four hours in it, she couldn't raise her head

knocked and she left

- Hi beautiful

- Hi. She said and kissed him

They either went to breakfast or thought, or she ate more than the last time

a moment later they were on a walk, it was already a tradition to walk, unless they received a notification and that was the case in this case, and just him Rocky Chase and Skye were needed

when they drove away, Evi went to lie down, as she lay there, she looked at her stomach

- I'll tell him when he gets back. she thought

It is true that they did not plan it, but when two dogs love each other very much it is always a matter of time

she knew that it was one puppy, she did an ultrasound when everyone went to sleep, although she knew that it would be so, because merpup always give birth to one or two

she fell asleep

- Fire ... Smoke ... Embers...Malshall watch out!

She woke up abruptly, noticing that they had already returned, she run inside, bumping into Chase

- Where's Malshall ?!

- Oh Evi ... He ... Emmm ...

She grabbed his head and brought him down to her level, he noticed that her eyes were starting to turn a dangerous shade of red

- WHERE ? HE? IS? She asked very slowly

- He had an accident and is in a coma! Chase squeaked, they fear for their lives

Her eyes widened and seemed to lose color now she ran to the clinic what she saw there made her blood freeze

Malshall was heavily padded, he had bandages on his head and paws, and bandages on burns

- What ... How ... She couldn't finish the sentence as tears ran down her cheeks

We were at a burning building and a beam fell on it. Rocky said hugging Skye weeping

C hase was doing the same thing Zuma in her doghouse, and Ryder was nowhere to be found

Where's Ryder? She asked slowly regaining the ability to speak

He went to pay the vet for help. Skye said

Rocky and Skye left

Evi walked over to him, slowly put her head on his chest and cried

Malshall walked through what seemed to the endless darkness

Who would have thought this was what being in a coma looked like? He thought

Even the connection to Evi was limited now

they had sensed the thoughts of feelings before, they even knew where the other was and now it was an echo of her thoughts and feelings

she probably didn't hear him at all

he felt her sadness and hated himself for being the cause of it

a week has passed and he still hasn't woken up, but he was getting better because he felt Evi more and more clearly

- Malshall ... a voice said, reaching out that all sides ... You have to wake up, you can't leave us. said her voice with obvious sadness

- Us? Does he mean the others? He thought

- I was gonna tell you that that day, but it just happened ... You have to wake up because ... Because ... because you're gonna be a father.

His eyes widened and he smiled for the first time in a week

will be the father

If he could, he would wake up now and jump for joy

then something began to change

the darkness began to glow ...

The feeling of waking up was both familiar and strange

he looked at Evi, she must have felt his gaze because she raised her head, he didn't even blink and she was hugging him

- You woke up. I talked against his neck, tears of pure happiness streaming down her cheeks

Malshall hugged her

he was surprised by the small number of dressings on the body

Evi sensed it

- Merpup healing water works wonders. She said

- How many puppies will we have? He asked

Two months later

A small puppies ran across the patrol base square, escaping from Skye

- You'll never catch me, Aunt Skye! She screamed

- Are you sure Violet? Skye shouted, accelerating

The parents watched it from a distance

for now, they could only lie down and smile at the thought of their puppies having siblings.
