Ben, Dag and the calf had returned to the barn. Ben was trying to feed him right now.
"Ya know, Ben." began Miles. "I'm beginning to see a side of you I've never seen before. It's like a whole new you."
"Someone's gotta take responsibility around here." said Ben. "You can't do that with all fun and games, now could you?"
Those were the words Dag never wanted to hear.
"You've lost your mind, Ben." said Dag.
"If that's a fact, I never wanna find it." said Ben.
A few hours later, Ben lie asleep in his bed while baby Cayden aka 'the calf' lie by his side, also asleep.
Ben was beginning to be afraid of Dag now. Ben and Dag's friendship must've been lost somewhere between the tragedy and Ben's new son.
The next day, Miles, Dag and Ben were by the fence.
Miles stood between Dag and Ben, who had the baby in his arms.
"C-ayden?" said the calf.
"He said something!" said Ben, amused.
Miles smiled.
"What's a cayden?" asked Ben.
"It's a name, Benny Boy!" said Dag.
"Oh...tis." said Ben. "Hey there, little Otis!"
'Otis' giggled.
"Little baby Otis." said Ben.
"Whatever." said Dag.
"Whatever this!" said Miles. "Three perfect ladies coming this way!"
"Wha-!" said Dag and Ben, watching a cow, coyote and mule walk on the other side of the fence.
They walked up to Miles, Ben and Dag.
"Your baby's so cute!" said the cow. "What's his name?"
"Otis." said Ben. "And I'm Ben. What's your name?"
"Well, my name's Alexandra, but you can just call me Alexa." said the cow. "These are my friends: Lauren the mule and Penny the coyote." she said, pointing to the other two girls.
"I'm Dag." Dag said to Penny.
"And I'm Miles." Miles said to Lauren.
"Alexa, wasn't there supposed to be two more animals?" asked Ben.
"Oh, yeah." said Alexa. "Mr. Buyer got a couple of ferrets. They're in the house. They're not exactly allowed out yet, because one's about to have a baby."
"Today?" asked Ben.
"No." said Alexa. "Her due date's soon."
"Excuse me, but how do you know all this?" asked Miles.
"You think the only time I hear conversations is on farms?" Alexa asked Miles. "No, siree, It's not."
"Okay." said Ben. "Why don't you, me and the baby go up on my hill for a talk tonight?"
"I'd love to." said Alexa.
