Chapter 9: The Start Of A New Generation
Morning. Jasper Park.
Eve's den.
"How can I let this happen?" cried Eve.
"It's alright." said Tatum. "When I get my jaws around the man's neck, they're done for."
Meanwhile, at the rocks where the Eastern and Western wolves almost fought in 2010.
The grass began to blow as the chopper landed.
Later. Eve's den.
Haley came in.
"They're back!" she said in excitement.
Meanwhile, outside the chopper.
"It's great to be back." said Garth.
"Garth!" Lilly exclaimed, as if something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" asked Garth.
"Garth, the pups are coming!" cried Lilly.
Gadget opened the now-silent chopper's door.
"Sheba, grab the blankets!" said Gadget. "You guys, help her in the chopper!"
So, Garth and Humphrey helped Lilly in the chopper while Kate ran toward home, but accidentally hit her mother on the way.
"Kate?" asked Eve.
"Mom!" Kate exclaimed. "Lilly's in labor! She's having the pups real soon!"
"What?" Eve asked in confusion. "I thought she was just-"
"She lied to you!" said Kate. "Come on!"
Eve, Tatum and Haley followed Kate to the chopper.
On the rocks above the chopper, wolves sang Turning Page by Sleeping At Last.
"Listen, I know it'll hurt, but breathe. Take big breaths." said Sheba.
"You're quite the comforter, aren't you, Sheba?" asked Gadget.
"Shut up!" said Sheba.
"I'll be your guest." said Gadget.
Tatum, Kate and Eve came in.
"Stand up here." Gadget said to them. "Keep the space."
The three stood beside Gadget.
"Alright, breathe." said Sheba.
Lilly then took big breaths.
"Push." said Sheba.
Outside, Haley began to sing Breathe by Paramore.
The first born was a grey pup.
"It's a boy." said Sheba, then handed him to Garth. "Alright, you're doing great. Breathe."
Lilly breathed and pushed.
The second born was a pup the same color as Garth.
"Another boy." said Sheba.
Kate came and got him.
"Hey, nephew." Kate cried.
"Okay, Lilly, one more time." said Sheba. "Breathe."
Lilly breathed more and pushed once again.
The final born was a white pup.
"It's a girl." said Sheba and handed her to Lilly.
"She looks just like her beautiful mommy." said Garth. "And the grey pup reminds me of your father-"
"And the brownish one reminds me of your father, Garth." said Kate.
"So, what was you thinkin' for names?" asked Garth, switching pups with Kate.
"Well, for the boys, I think Winston and Tony fit." said Lilly.
Almost everyone in the chopper had tears running down their faces or sad looks.
"I like the sound of that." said Garth.
"So do I." said Kate.
"And this is Jade." said Lilly.
"This is a great way to start over." said Gadget.
