Hey everyone!! Hope y'all are doin' well. This is going to be a shorter chapter but never the less I would like reviews. The last few chapters haven't got many chapters and I would like more reviews. Also I would like to thank Liphuggers, Mariia10 and all of my other 'dedicated' readers. Ok hope you enjoy. Oh and thanks to my friend Super Cheyenne for her help.

"Eric?" Calleigh called but received no response so she called him again "Eric." this time she was rewarded with a grunt.

Calleigh slowly approached Eric her had on he gun ready to fire. The last time that Eric saw a glint his sister was shot. Eric moved to let Calleigh have a better look out side.

"Umm..." Calleigh looked at Eric "Theirs nothing out there." Calleigh cocked her head.

She placed her gun on the table and mover toward the door. She went to open the door and when she did a little black bundle of fur darted inside scaring Calleigh.

"Ahh!" Calleigh jumped into Erics arms and looked around the house looking for the thing.

"Cal?" Eric said in surprise

Calleigh looked at Eric then back to the ground, when the little thing came bounding out of the bedroom. It stopped and looked at both of them and ran away agin.

"Eric get it out of here." Calleigh said "You don't know where it's been. It could have flees."

Eric rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom and emerged holding a the little black creature. He held it out to Calleigh but she backed up to the door. Just looking at him holding the 'thing'.

"Eric, put that thing down I don't want you to get something."

Eric chuckled and looked at Calleigh "Cal...I think you might be over reacting....just a bit."

"What are you talking about? That 'thing' ran into my house from the garden and I have never seen it before. I do not think that I'm over reacting"

"Well I do seeing as this 'thing' as you so kindly put it is a dog. And I bought it for you as a second birthday gift."

Surprise took over Calleigh face as she approached the little dog in Eric's arms. She put a hand out to the dog to sniff. The dog sniffed her hand and shrunk back into Eric's arms and looked at her though it's little amber eyes.

Calleigh leaned down and looked at the dog "Hey their little guy....you are a guy right?" Calleigh looked up at Eric for a response. Eric nodded his head. Calleigh turned her attention back to the dog. "You're not so bad...you're actually kinda cute."

The dog began to come out of Eric's arms and licked her hand and looked at her. Calleigh smiled scratch his head. Then a thought crossed her mind.

"Eric where is he going to live?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well....he can't just be left here and you can't take him seeing as he's my gift."

"Oh I see what you mean."

"May be you could live here." Calleigh said glad for the dog as a distraction.

Eric handed her the dog and leaned down, to her ear. "I would love to live here with you and...whats his name?"

Calleigh examined the dog he had a strip of white over his back making him appear like a oreo cookie.

"Oreo." Calleigh said

"Ok I would love to live here with you and Oreo."

Calleigh beamed and kissed Eric. "Good because I think that if you would have said no I would have shot you." Calleigh joked and put Oreo down. "What kinda dog his he?"

"He is actually a rescue dog...some one had beat him and left him for dead. They don't know what kinda dog he is so they called him a mutt."

"Someone hurt that little fur ball. How could someone do that?" Just then Oreo came running out of the bathroom with toilet paper dragging behind him. Calleigh just nodded and looked at Eric.

Eric sighed "Only because I love you." He said as he went to catch Oreo.

Calleigh stood in shock and look at Eric as he chased the little pup around the house. Then a smile broke out over her face and she scooped up the dog as he ran toward her. Eric trailing behind. When he reached her she whispered on his ear while handing over the dog "Only because I love you back."

Ok so I made Eric and Calleigh confess their love for one another in this chapter. Ya I know corny and short but the next chapter has drama in it so you might want to keep reading. I also found out that some people don't like cliffhangers....sorry again.
