Pre A/N: Hey guys! I'm going to be doing a Question/Answer in the beginning of the next chapter.
This means you all get to ask the pups any questions by commenting on this chapter, and I'll get them to answer for you. Also Ryder, Pedz, Natalie and the Rangers, Silvera, Mark, Michael, Anna, Brad and Kate are accepting questions, so don't forget to ask them too!.
When asking a question make sure you include who the question is for.
Example:
Question for Ryder: What do you think of Marshall's new pup-pack?
Anyway! Enough of my chatting, here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 15: Hope
Ryder watched as Pedz, Natalie, Marshall and Rocky were lifted out of the Earthquakes Epicenter by the Air Patroller, meanwhile the ground beneath Ryder, the pups and Rangers violently shook resulting in the crack opening further.
"Brother get away from the crack!" Pedz yells out from above him.
"Pups you heard her." Ryder got to his feet, picking up Chase, then Zuma.
Skye flew up in the air, while Rubble ran ahead of Ryder.
Once everyone was safely away from the quakes epicenter, Pedz, Marshall Rocky and Natalie were lowered to the ground when Silvera got a call from Kate.
"Sil-we-help-Brad-can't-do-" Kate's voice came through as static.
Silvera turned to Ryder. "I'm really worried mate,"
"Not to worry Silvera, now we have Rocky we'll help you rescue your team." Ryder smiles watching Pedz place the 3 pups on the ground.
Rocky whimpered when he was put down, his injuries were aching.
Marshall noticed this and approached him with caution. "Rocky let m-"
"Marshall! Stay away from him!" Everest's voice rung out.
Rocky turned around to see Everest in Anna's arms, Michael was carrying one of her pups. "She's right Marshall, you should stay away from me."
"No Rocky, you're hurt and it's my duty to help you." Marshall walked closer but every step Marshall took forward, Rocky took one backwards.
Chase quickly ran between them.
"C-Chase what are you doing?" Marshall stopped and stared at him.
"Marshall I don't trust him, he could hurt you again." Chase stated concerned. "I-I can't lose you, not again"
"But Chase he's hurt, you know only I can help him." Marshall replies looking at Rocky's injuries, his head was bleeding pretty badly. "Please Chase I need to-"
"You don't need to do anything!" Rocky hissed and sat down.
"Rocky's right, Marshall you don't need to do anything." Anna placed Everest gently on the ground. "Don't move, you need rest." She smiled before walking over to Rocky. "Marshall you're not the only EMT specialist here."
Marshall sighed but nodded, he turned and walked over to Everest.
"Now Rocky, lets take a look at your injuries." Anna took her back-pack off and began to examine him.
Rocky watched Marshall sit beside Everest who were soon joined by Chase and Skye.
"It's not fair." Rocky flinched when Anna begin cleaning his wounds.
She looked at him. "What's not fair?"
He pointed to both couples. "Both Chase and Marshall get to see their mates whenever they want, I-I can't."
Anna gently wrapped his head with a clean bandage. "You'll see Wendy soon, just have faith."
"I miss her Anna." Rocky sighs turning his attention to the Medical Ranger.
"Of course you miss her, you love her." Anna finished wrapping his head, then checked out his other injuries. "But for now, not just as your doctor but as your friend I suggest you take it easy and let this injuries heal."
"Anna's right." Pedz walked over and knelt down. "I do have something that will cheer you up."
Rocky tilted his head as Pedz pulled out her Cellphone.
"Katie put her on." Pedz said grinning then turned her Cellphone around.
"Hey Rocky, someone wants to say hello." Katie smiled as she too turned her phone around.
Rocky felt his eyes tear up when he saw her face. "W-Wendy?"
Wendy looked at Rocky as she did tears fell from her eyes seeing the state Rocky was in "Oh Rocky my love" Wendy smiled the best she could.
"H-how are you?" Rocky asked staring at her with worry in his eyes. "Are you and our pups ok?"
Wendy smiled as the tears kept falling from her eyes down her face "i'm great Rocky and so are our pups inside me Katie has been taking amazing care of me how are you doing? you don't look in the best state my love"
A frown forms on Rocky's face. "I'm ok I guess, but it should be me taking care of you. Instead of being in this stupid Park, I don't even know why I'm here I'm not a member of the PAW Patrol... I should be with you."
Wendy looked at Rocky and sighed "Oh my love even if your not a member of the Paw Patrol right now doesn't mean you can't help people in need you still have the skills to help and your still Ryder's pup just think in 2 weeks i'm sure you will be here with me when i give birth to our pups now let me see your big smile on that face of yours."
"I want to be there with you now." Rocky tried to smile, but he just felt depressed.
"Rocky, I promise when Wendy gives birth you will be there." Ryder says behind him. "In-fact your punishment is finished in 1 weeks time,"
Rocky smiles widely. "You mean I'll be at the birth?"
"Of course, Rocky look even though I had to punish you. I would never stop you from being at your own pups births." Ryder knelt down and patted his head. "Hello there Wendy."
Wendy smiled happily when she saw the big smile on Rocky's face "Hello Ryder" Wendy put one of her paws on her big belly as she felt a little kick then had a drink of water "see Rocky i told you that you will be at the birth"
"Now Rocky, we have to go rescue Silvera's team so I'm afraid you'll need to say goodbye but if you are a good pup I'll let you go and visit Wendy sooner." Ryder stood up.
Rocky smiled again. "Thanks Ryder." He turned to Wendy. "I guess I'll talk to you later? I love you."
Wendy smiled again "You be great Rocky and you will see me sooner i will see you soon my love" Wendy licked the phone "Goodbye."
"It's time for your Ultrasound anyway Wendy." Katie picked up the phone and ended the call.
Rocky smiled to himself, at least now he had hope. Hope that he would see his love again, and be there for the births.
"He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near those pups." Chase growled overhearing the conversation. "Wendy should be like Everest, and not allow him near her pups."
Ryder spun around to face him. "Enough Chase!"
"So you're on his side now?" Chase challenged standing up tall.
"I'm on no-ones side Chase, you are all of my pups I treat you all as equals." Ryder replied raising a brow. "Rocky has been punished enough, if you still don't like him then ignore him Chase. I don't want to hear you accusing him." He turned to Rocky. "Same goes with you Rocky, since both of you can't get along then I forbid you both from talking to each other."
Chase spat, huffing he says. "That's fine with me!" but deep down inside him, he still cares for Rocky and wanted to be friends and trust him but just like Marshall that trust was broken. He walked back over to Marshall, Everest and Skye.
"You ok?" Skye asks licking Chase's cheek, he nods. "You know Chase, you shouldn't be so hard on Rocky, he's been through just as much as Marshall has, with being temporary suspended from the team."
"But he tried to kill us." Chase says looking at her. "He tried to kill me."
Skye hugs him then says. "But he didn't kill you, you're still here, you're ok, so is Marshall." She kisses his cheek. "Please will you promise, you won't be so hard on Rocky."
"Doesn't matter Skye, I'm not allowed to talk to him." Chase kisses her back, "But I guess your right, it's just I don't trust him."
"Neither do I." Everest added, as Eclipse feeds off her. "I don't trust him around my pups."
"Don't I get a say in any of this!?" Marshall suddenly yells. "It's my life Rocky tried to take! It's my trust that was broken! I-I can't stand to see Rocky hurting, and it isn't right that he shouldn't be allowed to see his mate."
"Marshall what are you saying?" Everest asks trying to figure him out.
Marshall takes a deep breath. "If it were me in Rocky's paws, if I wasn't allowed to see you Everest I-I... couldn't handle that, being away from you, not being able to hold you... I-it would hurt me.."
They're cut off by Ryder. "Pups to the PAW Patroller! Rocky that includes you."
Everest goes to stand up but Anna picks her up. "Not you Everest, you're still recovering from giving birth so you will be staying with me." She says causing Everest to roll her eyes. "Don't give me that look, or I won't give you any liver treats."
"Fine." Everest chuckles then looks at Marshall. "Chase? Please look after him."
Chase nods. "I will, you have my word."
"And mine, I did promise to protect him and I will." Natalie says, walking over to them.
Marshall tilts his head. "Where did you go?"
"Yeah dude you just vanished." Zuma added confused.
"I-Ugh-Um, needed to use the restroom." Natalie forced a smile, trying to sound convincing.
Skye chuckled. "Come on pups! Ryder needs us remember."
They all nodded and ran towards the PAW Patroller followed by Silvera, Mark and Michael, while Pedz and Anna took Everest and Eclipse to Pedz's Helicopter.
~Inside Ranger HQ~
After losing contact with Silvera, Kate managed to free herself from the fallen beam. Pulling herself up off the floor, she began to search for Brad.
"Brad!? Are you ok?" Kate calls out, struggling to get down to where Brad fell.
She received no answer back and feared the worst.
Brad is an important member of the Park Rangers, without him they would not know anything about the weather.
Kate didn't know what they would do if Brad was dead.
But then it hit, the earthquake struck. Kate was flung across the room she was currently in, knocking her out. The Ranger HQ violently swayed, and cracks formed alone its foundations.
There was a SEVERE Thunderstorm forming over at Jake's Mountain and headed towards the Park, but no-one knew, without Brad there was no-on to track it.
To be continued.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it!
A Special thank you goes out to, Lovepawpatrol for doing Wendy's line.
