Here we go... the last chapter of this part. Thanks to ya all for supporting, reading and reviewing... Thats my first story that interested such a big grup of people, statistics don't lie... hope so.

Anyway, this is the most important chapter, maybe not for ya all, but for me... I really want and need to know what do you think about whole story, so please leave review ;)

Chapter 18: Nice to hear that

"Speaking of Uncle Boris ... where is he?" Kodi asked. "Boris flew with Stella for the honeymoon," Balto said. "Oh, I didn't know, never mind, please continue," Kodi said fascinated. "You dont have any other question?" Balto said. "Ehm...How did you meet Uncle Boris?" Kodi asked. "As you know Boris looked after me since I was a pup, we met in a fairly simple way... "

Little Balto lay in the cabin of the boat and tired of the terrible life in Nome and longing for his mother he began to cry. "I hate this place! Mom! MOM! Come back to me!" Balto began to scream, crying harder and harder. Then he suddenly heard someone walking on the roof of his boat. "What happened, kid? Why are you crying?" Goose asked. "I hate this place, and I want to see my mom!" Balto said, still crying. "Calm down, what's your name?" Goose asked. "I am Balto," Balto said. "Okay, Balto. I am Boris, and I will stay with you as long as your mother returns," Boris said. "R-really?" Balto asked and wiped his tears. "Really. But tell me where did your mom go?" Boris asked. "People from the town chased us, she told me to stay here and promised to come back," Balto said. "When was it?" Boris asked. "A month ago ..." Balto said in a sad voice. "You have nothing to worry about, I'm sure you'll see her again," Boris said.

"Have you ever seen grandma again?" Kodi asked. "I think so, but I'm not sure ..." Balto said and began to think. "Why are you not sure, dad?" Kodi asked looking at his father. "I saw her once during the serum run, when I fell off the cliff ... I recognized her eyes, and her howl ..." Balto said. "So why are you not sure?" Kodi asked a bit confused. "Because every time she disappeared after a moment... when Aleu led a pack of wolves, my mother showed me again and disappeared in front of me..." Balto said. "Are you serious? That sounds unbelievable ..." Kodi said, surprised what his father said. "I don't lie, you don't have to believe me, I know it's unbelievable." Balto said. "You have no reason to lie, I believe you." Kodi said and noticed that his father got sad, he approached his father and nuzzled him. "Don't be sad, Dad," Kodi said. "I'm sorry... I never meet my father and I lost my mom, its makingme sad." Balto said as a tear rolled down his cheek. "I'm glad, I know my wonderful father and beautiful mother." Kodi said to comfort his father. "Yeah, your mother is beautiful," Balto said with chuckle.

"So Dad, when you met mom, were you already together?" Kodi asked looking at his father who clearly improved his mood. "No, for a long time we were afraid to say anything about feelings, but we often talked when your mother brought me food." Balto said with a slight smile and a feeling of nostalgia. "What were you talking about?" Kodi asked curiously. "About everything, we were like friends who do not end in conversation topics ... but I remember one conversation very well, we talked about having children ..."

"...then I entered through the window and took the sausages, when the butcher saw me, he started chasing me ... I wish you could see his face! He was red with anger." Balto finished the story. "Oh, old Ron ... I have to tell you that I took something from him too ..." Jenna started. "What? are you?" Balto said incredulously. "Yes, I was still a young puppy, and it was a time when I still liked the company of Steele ... He and his friends talked me into taking something from him, you know what I took?" Jenna said with a smile on her face. "Sausages?" Balto asked. "No, I took the biggest chicken!" Jenna said laughing with Balto. "No way!" Balto said, still laughing. "You had time for this? I thought your kid took up most of your time ..." "Yes, I have a lot of time when she is at school... Speaking of...Wouldn't you like to have your own children?" Jenna said looking straight into Balto's eyes. "I don't think anyone would want to keep me at home or with children," Balto said and became slightly sad. "I meant pups ... your own children," "Oh, I don't think there is no one who would like to be with me ... dogs hate me for being a half wolf... and wolves hate me for being a half dog." "I dont understand why are you think that no one will love you, I'm sure you'll find someone like that ..." Jenna said with a slight smile.

"I think the end is obvious since I'm telling this story to you." Balto said with a smile. "Yeah," Kodi said, smiling slightly. "Dad? I may have a hard question ... you don't have to answer if you don't want ... what you miss most, you know, from the wolf valley?" Kodi asked slowly and gently. "I miss Daro and Lisa the most, and of course my mum..." Balto said. "Nice to hear that, little brother. I missed you too." Said the beautiful white she-wolf standing at the entrance to the boat's cabin.

The End (Of first part)

I know the ending is a little short, maybe you were expecting something more, but that would be enough. I hope that this ending encouraged you to read the two upcoming stories because they will be related to this story, "When I was a pup" will not be continued right away, first, I want to deal with "Aleu's Family" (work name), but the story this story will affect "When I Was A Pup2" (also work name).

I hope you enjoyed this story and that you will be interested in upcoming stories. I have a great request, please leave something in the style of a summary review (what you liked and did not) is very important to me as an author, because it helps me improve myself. Thanks to all of you!

Hope to see you as soon as possible!
