A/N: I'm trying something different here, lets say this is a test chapter. I've changed my writing style a little, let me know what you guys think of the scenes in this chapter. Including the Marshall/Everest scene. Yeah I probably should warn you that scene may be a bit intense. Yikes!

Chapter 4: The Power Of Love

Rocky looked into the hole in the ground then looked at Sarah, he was about to go get Ryder. But he stopped himself.

Thinking to himself, he sighed. I can do this! I don't need Ryder, or anyone else.

"Rocky? Are my mommy and daddy dead?" Sarah asked sobbing.

"No Sarah, just sleeping" Rocky replied licking the young girls face "Don't worry I'll get them out"

Somehow.

Meanwhile, back in the PAW Patroller. Everest and Marshall had been left alone, as Ryder and the pups helped Silvera and Pedz to place more signs around the canyon's edge.

Everest had fallen asleep with Marshall's paws wrapped around her body, she stirred before opening her eyes up, she was met by a kiss on the forehead by Marshall, smiling she licked his face

"Sleep well?" Marshall asked pulling Everest's body closer to his

"I always do when I'm next to you" Everest said causing Marshall to chuckle "What! I do!"

Marshall grinned licking her cheek "Oh I know you do, and that's great" he ever so gently rolled her over exposing that enlarged belly he loved so much, and began to plant licks across it, his mouth kissing and licking her neck before his mouth finally met hers.

They kissed, passionately, while Marshall's paws roamed across her belly.

Everest loved to see this side of Marshall, it was his romantic side, and she loved every bit of the affection he was giving her, she moaned at his paws movements.

Even after everything that happened, The Boot Camp with Rocky, Silvex healing Marshall's paw, then before that, all the bad stuff that happened in the Park, the very Park they were once again in. When Marshall was with her, all of that seemed to be forgotten in a heart beat.

That's a good thing right?

Still Marshall was so caught up in the moment, he was laying above her, careful not to put all his weight on her pregnant belly. He gently bit her neck leaving behind love bites, and sucked her skin a little, moans slipped from her mouth.

"I love you Everest" Marshall said, breaking away from her

Everest smiled, using her paws she pulled his head down to hers, and stole another kiss.

"Cheeky" Marshall chuckled staring into her eyes

"Hush" Everest said kissing him some more "I love you too Marshall" she smiled at him, her paws moving across his lower area "Marshall?"

Marshall kissed her neck some more "Yes love?" he said into her ear

Love.

That one word sent shivers through her body.

Everest had a certain sparkle in her eyes, Marshall hadn't seen in a while. Using her paws she wrapped them around Marshall leaving sloppy kissing on his neck, her cheeks became flushed.

Marshall felt heat building up in his groans, he moaned "We can't Everest, you know what Katie said, it's dangerous for the pups" He heard Everest sigh, smiling he kissed her

But Everest pulled away "It's been so long, I miss the feeling" She sighed closing her eyes and turned her head away from him.

Marshall thought back to Katie's words, warning about mating at this stage of Everest's pregnancy. Not to mention what would happen if Ryder returns and they were, 'busy' Ryder would properly freak out.

However Marshall smiled and turned Everest's face towards his, then whispered into her ear "Who says I have to go all the way in?"

This again, sent shivers through Everest body, once again she pulled him closer to her, feeling his body press against her, she moaned as Marshall planted kisses on her neck.

Grinning Marshall gently glided his body down hers, then kissed her belly "I can't wait to meet them" he said before getting off her and gently flipped her over.

"But what about Katie?" Everest asked feeling Marshall mount her, he was careful not to put his entire weight on her "Marshall?"

"I'll be careful I promise, do you trust me?" He asked, leaning forward and kissing her neck.

Everest titled her head staring him in his eyes "Of course I do Marshall"

"Alright then, but if you feel anything, anything at all, let me know and I'll stop" Marshall insured her, as he began to ever so slowly, push into her, but not all the way in, he stayed in for awhile without moving, "Ready?" he asked kissing her back, she nodded, so Marshall started thrusting in and out, gently.

Moans slipped from Everest's mouth

Gosh, this felt amazing, it didn't just feel like mating. No it felt different, somehow, Marshall was so gentle with each thrust in, the way he moved his hips against her, the way he kissed her, his moans.

Was this, what humans call making love?

Rocky in the meantime, was having flash backs to his time in the Puppy Boot Camp, how everything happened so suddenly, if it wasn't for his mate Wendy, Silvera, Silvex or Pedz he most likely wouldn't have passed that camp.

For what though?

Where did passing that stupid camp really get him?

Was he a member of the PAW Patrol again?

Nope

Was he allowed to see his pregnant mate?

Nope

Was he allowed to even go near Marshall, let alone talk to him?

Again, nope.

To Rocky, the Camp was a waste of time. Or so he felt.

A soft hand pressed against his head, blinking he looked up to see Sarah looking back at him. Her hands gently wiped tears from his cheeks

Crap.

I was crying? He let out a sigh.

"Hey are you alright?" Sarah asked him in a concerned voice, her thoughts no longer on her unconscious parents but on the pup beside her

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rocky answered, obviously lying.

Sarah raising her brow "It's cause your not in the PAW Patrol isn't it?" she questioned him

Rocky slightly nods "Not only that Sarah, I want to-"

No wrong word

"I really need to talk to an ex friend of mine" Rocky lets out a sigh, as Sarah strokes his head

"M-Marshall right?" Sarah asks him, he nodded "Why don't you?"

Rocky now was the one raising his brow "You're kidding right?" he chuckled.

She shook her head

"I'm not allowed anywhere near Marshall" Rocky huffed looking down at her parents in the hole.

"Why not?" Sarah again questions Rocky.

Why so many questions! He sighed. "B-Because..." he hesitated "M-my anger... Everyone thinks even though I went to that Camp, I haven't changed"

"Have you?" She again questions him.

Rocky looked up into her sky blue eyes, the young girl smiled warmly at him.

Like heart warmly.

"I don't know..." He let out a long sigh "That's the thing, I keep telling myself I've changed, and that I won't try to hurt Marshall or Chase, or anyone, but I-I..." tears began to form in his eyes "I feel like I can't trust myself, it's a war I can't win, a war against myself" he slammed his paw in the ground

I hate it!

"Rocky" A voice says behind the girl and pup, both spin around to see none other then...

"Ryder?!" Rocky gasped, knowing Ryder had just heard everything, he whimpers

Rocky closed his eyes, tears escaped them

Crap.

Why cry now! WHY! stop being a cry baby Rocky.

He cried louder. Before he knew it, Ryder had picked him up and embraced the Mix-Breed in a well needed.

Hug

"It's alright to cry Rocky, I'm proud of you for admitting what you just did" Ryder says and kisses Rocky's head "Do you want to talk about it?" he questioned hugging the pup, holding him closer to his skin

Rocky could feel the heat coming off Ryder's body, he could tell Ryder must have been doing some type of job, because he stunk. But never the less, he buried his head into his owners chest and just cried.

Foot steps were heard behind them.

Rocky heard Ryder whisper stop, opening his eyes he was shocked to see the rest of the pups including Chase, and Pedz, and Silvera standing there. He didn't care, he continued to cry.

"I'm such a failure!" He cries feeling Ryder's grasp tighten around him "I can't do anything right Ryder I-"

"Sh" Ryder replied hushing him "Look, you're not a failure so don't you ever think that, and you will get better, I'll help you get over this pup" he says kissing Rocky's head

Rocky sniffled and looked up at Ryder's eyes "Why? After everything I've done, the teams a mess because of me"

Ryder smiled, warmly "That maybe true, but we'll all get through this together"

"But Ryder I'm not a member any-"

"Sh will you" Ryder gave a chuckle "Relax, your punishment isn't permanent, did you really think I'd keep you off the team forever? Because you should know, I'm not like that, I have heart, and I care about you"

"We all do dude" Zuma spoke up surprising everyone even him self.

Why the hell did I just say that! I totally can't stand Wocky!

Zuma frowned shaking his head "I mean dude, what you did, yeah was totally wong but we can't stay mad at you fowevew"

SHUT UP! ZUMA! You're making it worse!

Zuma closed his eyes, then felt eyes on him. Opening his eyes he was met by a stare from Chase, one which if looks could kill.

Well, Zuma would be dead.

"I can't believe you!" Chase hisses, releasing a low growl at the lab "Taking Rocky's side what the hell Zuma!"

"Chase! Enough!" Ryder eyeballs the Shepherd "Look we came here to find Rocky which we have and-" he was interrupted by groans from the hole

"Mommy!" Sarah screamed running to the edge

Rocky immediately jumped out of Ryder's grasp "Get away from the edge Sarah!" he yells out

But it's too late, before anyone had a chance to do anything.

Sarah fell.
