The day went on as Rocky and Aiko left Katie's med bay.
Rocky nuzzled Aiko "Oh I can't believe we are going to be parents Aiko".
Aiko "Yeah its exciting."
Rocky smiled as he looked at Aiko more and started to think about stuff "so should we go get ready to go meet this friend of yours love?
Aiko "Yeah."
Rocky "So Aiko do you think we will have two boys, two girls or one of each"? Rocky asked as they walked into their room to get ready.
Aiko "Don't know. It depends."
Rocky "Depends on what my love"? Rocky asked as he nuzzled Aiko more.
Aiko "Depends on which gender comes."
Rocky giggled "Of course it does my love I will be happy with whatever gender comes out of you" Rocky hugged Aiko.
Aiko "I'm just happy for it."
Rocky "So am I also I'm very happy you're the one I'm having pups with I wouldn't want it any other way or with anyone else but you my love".
Aiko "You are cute saying that."
Rocky "Well it's true you have made me the happiest I have been in a very long time Aiko so very happy".
Aiko "I know."
Rocky rubs Aiko's chin before kissing her deeply on the muzzle.
*Her ears flickered. *
Rocky "You ok love you looked like you enjoyed me rubbing your chin then kissing you"?
Aiko "No is not that. I heard something."
Rocky "What did you hear love"?
Aiko "Something. Don't know."
Rocky "Was it in our room or outside do you know"?
Aiko "Outside."
Rocky "Outside ok" Rocky goes and opens their door.
Aiko was being precautious.
Rocky closed the door and went back to Aiko "Lee and Wendy are running up and down the hallway is that maybe what you heard love"?
Aiko "Outside this thing. It's...her."
Rocky "Wait what who Aiko"?
Aiko "She is out there. Now."
Rocky "Ok then well if it's who I think you mean let's go meet her and say hi".
Aiko "She must be seeing this thing. She was never fond to humans."
Rocky "well let's go find her and say hello to her Aiko I'm sure she will be happy to see you and know you're alright".
Aiko "But you guys are my worries."
Rocky "What do you mean Aiko"?
Aiko "She hates dogs."
Rocky "well that's ok if she hates me she hates me but I'm not letting you go alone love I'm your mate and that means I take care of you no matter what and we always stay together".
Aiko "Thanks."
Rocky smiled "and now that your pregnant I'm not letting you go anywhere without me" Rocky giggled after he thought about what he had just said.
Aiko "Wow that's funny" she giggled.
Rocky "Ok yer I won't go everywhere with you there are some places I will let you go alone love" he giggled more.
Aiko "Yeah."
Rocky "hehehe yer I won't go to the toilet with you love anyway should we go meet this friend of yours"?
Aiko "Yeah."
Rocky "Ok then let's go love" Rocky smiled at Aiko.
Aiko sighted.
Rocky "What's wrong Aiko"?
Aiko "Just preparing for possibilities."
Rocky walked up to Aiko and hugged her again "Whatever happens Aiko we will face it together love".
Aiko "Yeah.
Rocky "So let's go and meet her together".
Aiko "She is in the forest though."
Rocky "Well we got a walk to take then let's go Aiko".
Aiko "Coming".
Rocky "Ok let's go you led the way my love".
Aiko then exited and walked to the forest.
Rocky followed behind Aiko "So how far into the forest is she"?
Aiko "Deep."
Rocky "Well we better keep moving I hope she does like me even just a little bit".
Aiko "Maybe."
Rocky "well we have to wait and see love".
Aiko "Yeah."
After a while walking thought the forest Rocky looked at Aiko "You doing ok Aiko we have been walking for a while now".
Aiko "Yeah."
Rocky "if you need to take a brake at all love just say so ok".
Aiko "We are here close."
Rocky looked around "Wow we are very deep".
Aiko "Stop."
Rocky stopped right next to Aiko "What's wrong love"?
Aiko "Stay here please. She is in that cave."
Rocky smiled and stayed where he was told to "Ok I will wait here for you".
She herself approached the cave and entered slowly.
A few minutes passed.
Rocky started to get more worried the longer Aiko took.
There was a loud yelp that escaped.
Rocky heard the yelp and ran inside the cave "AIKO ARE YOU ALRIGHT"?
There was blood running from the wolf and Aiko was stained with it.
Rocky was kinda shocked as he looked at Aiko "Aiko what happened"? he walked up to Aiko.
Aiko "Jackals attacked her."
Rocky "Jackals but you have blood on you as well and that's the only way out isn't it"?
Aiko "The blood is hers but when she was out hunting she was attacked. She needs to be treated.
Rocky "Ok then it looks bad and Marshall is busy with Everest today oh this isn't good".
Aiko "She can hold she is stronger than this maybe some plants can help."
Rocky "Yer do you know of any around here Aiko that can help"?
Aiko "A few but they are close to civilization."
Rocky "Ok well..."
Suddenly very dark clouds came over and thunder filled the sky along with lightning and heavy rain.
Rocky "Oh that's not good".
Aiko "Yeah over here it's easy to have storms."
Rocky "Ok then well what do we need love"?
Lightning lit up the sky as thunder could be heard.
Aiko "There's some green palm like herbs around the entrance of the forest. Those can help but humans are around that area."
Rocky nods "ok I will go get them stay here ok"?
Aiko "I have to someone has to watch over her."
Rocky "Please be careful baby I don't want you or our unborn pups getting hurt at all" Rocky runs out of the cave into the heavy rain.
Aiko "You'll get help Ami."
Rocky returns an hour later with a lot of green palm like herbs in a make shift bag "Is this enough love"?
Aiko "Yeah."
Rocky puts the beg down in front of Aiko "hello Ami I'm Rocky Aiko's mate I'm here to help".
She growled.
Rocky keeps away and stays near Aiko.
Aiko crushed the herbs in some way that made them less planty.
Rocky "Aiko will she be alright"?
Aiko "She is strong she will."
Rocky "That's good" Rocky starts to smell something "Love do you smell that"?
Aiko "No."
Rocky ran out of the cave then back in "Fire there is a fire nearby and it is close I can smell the smoke not good must be a strong fire to be in this rain".
Aiko "That's near the dove's territory."
Rocky "That's bad I guess and close".
Smoke started to slowly enter the cave as the rain stopped.
Rocky "Oh dam the smoke is coming in the cave that's really not good and the rain has stopped".
Aiko "You go. I will help Luri."
Rocky walked out of the cave then ran back in "Love the fire it's all around us we are trapped".
Smoke started to fill the cave quickly now.
Rocky "Love you got to try not breath in the smoke oh this isn't good at all what are we going to do"?
Aiko "Just go. Is not the first time this happened, I know how to handle this situation." She put Luri on her back.
Rocky nodded "ok then love" Rocky ran out of the cave and waited for Aiko at the front.
She came out running with Luri on her back.
Rocky "Which way should we go love so much smoke this isn't good".
Aiko: Just follow me. I know this forest perfectly.
Rocky "Ok then I will follow you just try and not take in a lot smoke love" Rocky followed Aiko.
Aiko "I know, there's a place where is impossible to have fire. Is near, come on." She ran out jumping above the fire.
Rocky followed jumping over the best he could "how far away is it love".
Meanwhile Ryder and the others were already trying to put out the fire that was growing quickly.
Ryder "This isn't good".
Aiko "Right on front. Just a few seconds from here."
Rocky "Ok let's keep going then the fire is getting bigger".
Aiko kept running until she felt water fall in her fur. "We made it."
Rocky stood beside Aiko "Wow is this a waterfall love"?
Aiko "No. That's a little farther, this place is very wet around the forest. And it's cold. These things make this part so hard to make it get caught on fire."
Rocky looked around "Wow your right it is very wet I didn't think a forest could get this wet ever guess I was wrong how are you feeling Aiko"?
Aiko "I'm okay." She lowered Luri on a soft place.
Rocky "that's good I was worried with all that smoke in the air".
Aiko "I know. But I have been around this place for a long while. I know how to survive."
Rocky "Ok then well that is very good to know but do remember now you are pregnant and have pups growing inside you but you know that" Rocky lowers his head "I guess I'm just worrying too much".
Aiko "I know but keep in mind that I'm not like a normal everyday dog. I had my knowledge, she raised me."
Rocky smiled and nuzzled Aiko "Yes she did and she did an amazing job at it".
Luri was standing up.
Rocky looked at Luri as he stood next to Aiko "Should she be standing love"?
Aiko "It's okay, I told you she was strong."
Rocky "Indeed you did love I hope the others are alright" Rocky looked towards where the town was.
Aiko "They should be."
Rocky "Yer I'm sure they have everything under control".
