Family is Key: Chapter 3
Kodi has asked Dingo for advice on parenting. Sabir and Balto talked about expansions in the family, just as Dusty goes into labor.
Kodi, Aleu and Jenna rush towards the vets, where Dusty is taken for the birth of the pups. They go i side, and as they walk through the door, they see Dusty on the table. 'Dust, you ok?' Dusty looks at Jenna and answered: 'Yeah, I'm fine. It just hurts a little.' She then turned to Aleu, who was talking to Kodi in order to prevent him from going crazy. 'Aleu, Kodi, why are you standing there. I want you by my side as I'm giving birth, and not only for mental support.' They laughed at the joke and made their way to the table.
'There they come. Oh boy this is exciting.' 'Dude, they're not even your pups. Chill out.' Ralph looked at Kirby. 'I know. I just want to see the little Kodi's and tiny Dusty's. I think that's allowed.' Kirby laughs as Tirza, Saba and Sayda come walking over. He looks at Saba, and as he notices Tirza sees him, he quickly turns around again. 'Hey aunt Saba, I think Kirby likes you.' Saba looks at her niece and then at Kirby. 'So, you think I'd start on a malamute. Think again Tirza.' Saying that, she walks inside, with Ralph laughing as Kirby watches her walk away. 'You know Tirza, you really know how to make life hard.' Tirza smiles at him and follows Saba inside, as Sayda stays outside with the boys. 'So, you must be Ralph and Kirby. Haven't really seen you around often. Tirza talks about you a lot you know.' Saying that, she also walks inside.
Kodi walks out of the vet's, and sees Ralph, Sabir, Kirby and Boris waiting there, among other dogs. '7 pups. 4 female, 3 males', he says. Kirby looks at his friend and smiles. 'Congrats Kodi. Looks like you'll be busy raising the new team.' They laughed and looked at the door. 'I take it they don't have names yet', Ralph asked. 'Actually, they do. The eldest is Esky (Grey and Brown), named after Mum's Grandmother. Then there's Phelan (Wolf-like), Nijuk (Grey and Black) and Siber (Grey and Brown), named after Dusty's father, and 2 of her brothers. Then there's Saidi (Wolf-like), and Lexa (Brown and Black), and lastly there's Aniu (White), named after Dad's mother.' His friends looked at him as he said the names, and they all knew that he was going to make a great father.
