Chapter 5: Over Reaction
Just a few moments after Marshall demounts Everest and lays beside her kissing into her soft fur which lined her neck. His pup-tag lit up and Ryder's voice comes through saying he's needed right away, and that Rubble and Skye are on the way to get him.
He sighs before turning to Everest "How are you feeling?" he asks in a concerned tone "No pains anywhere? I wasn't rough was I? Or too fast? How are the pups?" he questions looking at her stomach
Everest gives a giggle "Relax Marshall I'm fine, and no, your were perfect" She replies kissing his cheek "The pups are fine, here feel for yourself" she says rolling over on her back, then grabbing his paw and placed it over her belly.
Small movements were felt beneath Marshall's paw who smiles, and lays a few kissed across it, then moved his mouth up, to her neck and kissed that, then brought his mouth to hers and kissed her passionately his tongue finding its way in her soft mouth.
A few moments later and they separate Marshall looked over at Rocky's pup-house but before he could even think about him, he was pulled into a hug, he smiles at Everest and cuddles with her "I love you"
"And I love you Marshall" She says using her paw to stroke his forehead, and kissed him, "Forget about Rocky" She finally speaks up.
Forget about him?
How can someone just forget, after almost being killed so many times, Marshall's lost count. And back-stabbed by his so called friends, humiliated, hurt over and over, laughed at, called names. Seriously you can't just forget that type of stuff.
"Hey" Everest breaks his thought
Before she could say anything else, Rubble and Skye run into the PAW Patroller
Rubble instantly smells the air "Woah, did you guys mate?" he questions them in a way, it makes them laugh
"Oh silly Rubble" Skye says chuckling before walking over to the - soon to be parents -
Rubble follows close behind her "Ryder needs you Marshall" he sits down in front of them
Marshall groaned "Why now" he sighs closing his eyes
"Rocky and a small girl called Sarah need your help" Rubble looks at Marshall who was just staring at him after hearing the name 'Rocky'
"Yeah, Sarah's parents fell into a hole after the earthquake, and now Sarah's trapped, hanging half way up the hole's side, if she loses her grip she'll fall" Skye continues "Ryder says he needs your help to check over Sarah's parents when we get them out"
"And where does Rocky come into this?" Marshall asks, his brow rises.
Rubble and Skye exchange glances
"You said 'Rocky and a small girl called Sarah' So I was assuming Rocky needs help?" Marshall questions as Everest gives a chuckle.
"He does need help, and a lot of it" Everest remarks giggling but is met by both Rubble and Skye's glare "What? I don't give a shit about Rocky, what he did to M-" she was cut off when Marshall kissed her, deeply
Skye feels her blood boil, why can't Everest just forget about Rocky, she's going to a mother and is acting like a kid herself
"Well Ryder wasn't asking your for help" Skye says in a sarcastic tone "It's Marshall he needs, not like you could help anyway in your -state-"
Everest sits up so fast she almost knocked Marshall over "Pardon Skye? My state? What's that suppose to mean?"
"Look at you Everest, I don't even know why Ryder allowed you to come, all you ever do is run your mouth off at Rocky, when he's trying so hard to change!" Skye raises her voice "I get your trying to protect Marshall, but all your doing is making things worse"
"Shut up!" Everest yells, the only thing stopping her from giving Skye a good wack to her jaw, is the fact Everest was still recovering from the mating session she had earlier with Marshall
Skye giggles watching Everest wobbly to her paws, with Marshall's support "Wore, and beached whale that's what you are Everest" Suddenly she bites down on her lip.
I sound just as bad as Everest.
Crap
"E-Everest... I didn't mean that" Skye says wishing she hadn't said those words.
Rubble whimpers and backs away, staring at Everest, who's face is red, judging by the expression she's giving Skye... This could turn into a real-
Bitch fight
"How dare you!" Everest finally says, her voice filled with. Hurt. Instead of yelling any louder, Everest starts sobbing, then crying "I'm not a wore Skye" she says, tears forming in her blue eyes.
Marshall was shocked, he would never of thought Skye out of all of the pups would be so.
Ruthless, and heartless
Tears started rolling down Everest's cheeks "Skye's right about one thing" She says as Marshall pulls her close and embraces her in a hug
"I am?" Skye looks shocked but gazes at the Husky
"Why am I here? I can't help" Everest sighs, and cries into Marshall fur "I feel useless"
Marshall comforts her "You're not useless Everest, you're just carrying our pups" he says into her ear, using a paw he rubs her belly gently "Look at me" he pulls her face up and she looks into his eyes "If you're a whore, then your my whore" he smiles and kisses her passionately, titling his head to deepen the kiss
"T-thanks babe" Everest replies back and forces her tongue into his mouth, he sucks on it, softly.
Babe.
She called me babe, wow she's never called me that before.
Marshall smiled his paw still rubs her belly
Rubble coughs "Don't mean to ruin the moment, but you guys already mated, and Ryder's waiting" he says hearing Marshall sigh.
Everest gives a small chuckle before kissing Marshall one more time then pulls away "Guess I better stay here"
"No way!" Marshall quickly says looking into her beautiful eyes "Katie said you can't be alone so you're coming with us" he smiles at her "You can walk right?"
Everest nods and stands to her paws "We better get going then" she says watching Marshall get into his EMT gear
"I'm sorry Everest" Skye finally says approaching her, but Everest shakes her head "I'm sorry I truly am, I shouldn't have called you a w-" she was cut off
"Just let it go Skye" Everest huffs not even bothering to make eye contact with Skye "Ready babe?"
Marshall chuckles at that name "Yes love" he returns a different name which makes Everest smile "Wanna lean on me?" he questions, as they begin walking out of the PAW Patroller, she nods and leans her entire weight on him.
Skye and Rubble walked ahead of them, leading them towards Ryder and the others.
Everest rests her head on Marshall's neck as they continue to walk.
"You good?" He questions and kisses her cheek
"I'm good" Everest says back smiling "So I'm your whore huh?"
"Yep, and beautiful one" Marshall gives a small giggle "You know, I'm glad Silvex healed my paw" he says looking down at the paw which was once broken, un-repairable "Now I can take care of you and our pups" he smiles
Everest licks his neck sending shivers across his body "That's true" she says back.
"D-do you think Rocky's truly changed?" Marshall's question causes Everest to suddenly stop, he stopped and looked at her
"Honestly, after seeing how he treated Zuma, I don't think he has changed" Everest replies with a sigh "I kinda miss the old Rocky" She looks at Marshall "After seeing what he almost did to you makes me-" she pauses with yet another sigh "I could never trust someone, who can so easily try to kill my mate"
Marshall kisses her forehead "But what about if he has changed?"
"And what about if he hasn't?" Everest replies staring at Marshall "I can't lose you Marshall, not now"
"You won't lose me" Marshall smiles and kisses her passionately
Neither one noticed, Skye and Rubble had continued a head. Truth be told, Marshall and Everest had actually walked a different way, and now without knowing it, they were lost.
Everest pulls away from Marshall and looks around them "Mmmm babe?"
"Yeah I know" Marshall sighs "Did you see which way they went?"
"No, my eyes were preoccupied on you" Everest chuckles and so does Marshall
Marshall activates his pup-tag "Um Ryder?" he says
"Where did you and Everest get too?" Ryder's voice comes back "Skye and Rubble just arrived but your both nowhere"
"We kinda got lost" Marshall holds back his giggles as Everest moves her tongue across his neck
Ryder giggles for Marshall "Oh Marshall, how did you manage that?"
"We stopped for a break, Everest can't walk very far" Marshall says, lying. But Ryder believes him
"Alright, you two sit tight and once we've rescued Sarah and her parents, Chase will come find you" Ryder replies back, and the cuts the communication off with Marshall
"odd" Marshall looks at his pup-tag "Something's interfering with them, I wo-" he's cut off by Everest who moves her paw in front of his mouth
"Listen" She says turning her head, to the West
Both pups listen carefully, as a rumble noise echo's through the Park. Birds begin to fly off in the distant trees
Straight away Marshall knows what it is "Another quake!" he yells then looks above them at the tree tops "We need to get to an opening" he says but then knows there's noway Everest can run
"But Marshall" Everest worriedly looks at him
"Here" He says and lowers his body close to the ground "Hope on"
Everest does just that, she gets on his back wrapping all four paws around him "A-are you sure you can carry me? I am a lot heavier you know"
Marshall doesn't reply, but slowly lifts himself up.
Gee, she's not kidding.
He strains at first, feeling like he's carrying two Everest's. Yet manages to fast walk through the trees
"You good up there?" He asks her worried he was walking to fast
"I'm fine Marshall" Everest wrapped her paws tighter around him, as his pace quickens to a slow run, she felt a pup kick her belly.
Marshall chuckled at the movement against his back "I think our pups are saying otherwise" he says slowing down from his run
The rumbling noise now became more of a roar, and the ground slightly moved beneath Marshall
"Hold on" He tells Everest seeing a small opening between the trees up a head, she again tightens her grip.
Once again the ground moves, but this time with more force, almost causing the Dalmatian to lose his balance, but he managed to keep moving towards the opening.
"We're not going to make it" Everest says worried looking above her at the trees which begin swaying, leaves and small branches fall around them "Marshall I'm scared" she tightens her grip around him yet again
Marshall ignoring the movement beneath him, quickens his walking pace, which soon turns to be a fast run, he feels Everest bounce on his back she lets out a groan which causes him to slow down
The ground again moves, this time more rapidly, and harder. Marshall loses his balance and falls to the ground with Everest on top of him.
Damn it
Instead of trying to get up, he rolls them both over and places his paws around her, holding her head against his chest to protect her from any falling objects.
He suddenly felt pain in his head, and warm red liquid drips from the top of it, this time Everest was the one to hold him, his world begins to go dim, there is only pain.
"Marshall! Stay with me! Please!" he hears Everest beg him, but his head is throbbing to much, he passes out and Everest holds him against her
Meanwhile, before Ryder could instruct his pups to begin rescuing Sarah and her parents, the quake hits them to.
Rocky was standing too close to the edge, the shaking, forced him to lose his balance and he fell down in the hole.
"ROCKY!" Ryder yells out, forced to the ground by the violent shaking beneath him.
Chase was the next to go over the edge and fall in the hole, just as Rubble and Zuma almost went over, Silvera and Pedz grabbed them pulling them back.
Tree branches snap from the tree trunks where they had grown from, even some of the trees fell.
Once the ground stops shaking and moving, Everest finally opens her eyes, a tree had fallen just feet away from her and Marshall.
Speaking of Marshall she looks down at him worried, but sighs relieved when her eyes see he's awake looking back up at her, examining his head she noticing a cut on the top but it's stopped bleeding.
Thank goodness for that.
"Hi" She says with a smile, licking the blood from his head.
Marshall lets a small chuckle out before he slowly sits up "Hi" he replies then looks around him "What hit me?"
Everest shrugs "I don't know, a tree branch maybe? But how does your head feel?" she questions him with worry in her eyes
"Aches a little but don't worry I'm fine" He insures her then places a paw on her belly "Are they ok?" he asks glancing at her belly "Any movement?"
"Yeah, they moved just after the ground stopped moving, probably thought I was on a roller-coaster" She jokes giggling, then watches Marshall bring his lips close to her belly "What are you doing?"
"Sh" He tells her and places a kisses on her belly "How are my pups doing? Good I hope" he says between the kisses "You all enjoyed the ride I hear"
Everest chuckles, and gently washes the cut on his head with her tongue
Gosh he's so cute when he talks to them
Marshall smiles and kisses her belly some more, before he stops then moves his head up to Everest's "And what about you? How's my mate doing? You don't feel sick do you? After all of that shaking" he asks and licks her cheek
"I'm fine" She says back "Better question, where are we?"
Marshall looks around them at the surroundings "I don't know, and I don't remember which way we came, everything looks so different" he stands to his paws before helping Everest up to hers, but she suddenly clutches her stomach and falls against him "Everest? What's wrong?" he asks as worry begins to take over him
He looks at the ground and noticing something, his eyes glance back at Everest
No! No! Not now!
Her water's broke!
