A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. I apologize for the late update. After this one, I'll be working on another story. When is it going to be uploaded, I have no idea since this month is really busy for me. But be patient and it'll be worth it. Anyway, enjoy the final chapter of this story.

Back at the hotel, Miranda and Azura returned and while Azura had a worried expression, Miranda rushed to the room she was sharing with Everest and Linda, crying all the way. 10 minutes later, she cried herself to sleep while Linda and Everest walked to Ryder's room, where he was talking to his family.

"I still can't get used to the fact that your pups call you 'Ryder' all the time, Zack." Jessica pointed out.

"I know. But don't worry, sis, they're not the only ones to call me that." Ryder said. But before anyone else could speak, Ryder's pup-pad rang.

"Ryder here."

"Hello, Ryder. I heard a rumor that you're missing a pup." The medic said on the other line.

"Yes, her name is Skye. Can I ask why?" Ryder asked.

"Someone wants to speak to you." Then the medic moved the phone in front of Skye.

"Guess who?" She said.

"Skye?! You're okay! But how did you get there?" Ryder exclaimed happily upon seeing his pup alive.

"It's a long story. I don't want to explain on the phone. Just tell me one thing. How is mom doing?" Skye asked.

"Broken. Ever since she came back, she's been crying for you. I think she's asleep now."

"Oh. So anyway, this here medic will bring me to the hotel first thing tomorrow. But please, I want to surprise my mom."

"Okay, see you later, Skye. I'll leave the address of the hotel in the message." Ryder said as he ended the call.

Next day, it was early morning and Miranda was still asleep. Ryder stood outside the hotel waiting for Skye. Soon, they came and Skye immediately ran into Ryder's arms and began licking his face.

"Hehehe! Okay, calm down! Hehehehe! That tickles! It's great to see you again, Skye." Ryder giggled as he lowered her to the ground.

"It's great to be back, Ryder. Now, let's go see my mom." Skye said.

"Okay, go surprise her." Ryder said and Skye ran inside. As she reached Miranda's room and quietly entered, she could see her mother with her back turned while also crying. Her crying left pain in Skye's heart. She had to get her attention.

"You don't need to cry anymore, mom."

Miranda stopped crying for a second as she heard a familiar voice. She turned around and gasped.

"S-SKYE!" She screamed as she ran over and hugged her daughter, tears of joy running down her cheeks. "You're okay! Oh, I was so worried about you!" She exclaimed. Of course, as she hugged her, her grip was so strong that Skye's face was turning blue.

"M-mom! Too tight! Can't breathe!" Skye stuttered.

Upon hearing that, Miranda let go of her daughter.

"Do you know how scared I was when I couldn't find you? I thought you drowned out there." She said in a sad tone.

"Don't cry, please. You'll make me cry too." Skye said, trying to comfort her mother.

Miranda at this point was hugging and crying at the same time. She almost lost her daughter out there and now her daughter was worrying about her. Of course, both were so deep into their moment that they didn't notice a certain German shepherd enter their room.

"Skye! You're okay!" Chase shouted, startling the two as they separated before Chase rushed over and hugged his mate.

"Yeah, I am." Skye replied with a smile as she nuzzled Chase. The other pups heard the commotion and rushed to Miranda's room and upon seeing Skye, they happily barked and wagged their tails before dog-piling her. Ryder and his parents watched the scene from the doorway and smiled.

"Is it always that fun where you live, son?" Ethan asked.

Ryder nodded. "Of course, on missions they get serious, but when not on duty, they just play around."

"Wow, that's awesome. I just wish we can be as happy as you are with your pups, Zack." Ella said.

Ryder then smirked. "I have an idea, you'll love it."

That night, The PAW Patrol and Ryder's family was back in Adventure bay. When they reached the Lookout, Jessica, Ella and Ethan were amazed at how high it was. An hour later, Ryder took his family to the East side of town to a house no one lived in anymore. It was big enough for the three of them, it had enough bedrooms and many more. After a tour, Jessica turned to her brother.

"Thank you, Zack. This house is perfect for living." She said.

"I agree, this house is twice as big as our old one. I think I'll like it here." Ella said with a smile.

"Yeah, thanks, son. I don't know what we would do out in the street if you didn't come when you did." Ethan exclaimed.

"It's my pleasure. And to top it all off, you can come to visit me at the Lookout whenever you want. It's only a 15-minute walk from here." Ryder added.

"Thanks, Zack. You're the best brother I have." Jessica praised.

"No problem. And remember this, because you're going to hear it often. Whenever you're in trouble, just yelp for help! I also left a piece of paper with my number on it so you can call me. Now I need to go, the pups are waiting for me. Bye." Ryder said as he began walking to the Lookout while his family was waving at him.

"Bye, Zack! Be safe out there!" Ella called out.

"Bye, son! Say 'hello' to Chase for me!" Ethan called out.

"Bye, bro! Call often!" Jessica called out.

"I will! Bye!" Ryder called back.

As soon as Ryder was out of sight, Jessica and the parents entered the house and sat in the living room.

"Now that we settled in, we're going to have a great time here." Ethan said.

"But, dad, we'll also have to get used to the fact that everyone calls Zack 'Ryder' in this town." Jessica pointed out.

"You're right. Despite the fact that his real name is Zack, we need to get used to that and make sure no one, except the PAW Patrol knows about that." Ella agreed.

Jessica and Ethan nodded. No one else knows Ryder's real name. It wasn't going to be easy for the three of them to keep Ryder's real name a secret in public, but they knew they could do it.
