For the record, i know this one is short. But i really felt there wasn't anything else to say. . . Please enjoy!
Ryder looked from his game just in time to see Skye come running through the doors of The Lookout and skid to a stop in front of him. "Woah Skye," he smiled and picked her up, "slow down. . . How did the check-up with Katie go?"
"Do you know where Rubble is?" She said ignoring the question.
He looked at and raised an eyebrow. "I think he's in his pup house, why? Are you going to tell him?" She nodded then jumped out of his arms and ran towards the door. "Wait Skye, where are you going?" After a moment, he shook his head slightly. "Right . . . you're going to find Rubble . . . duh."
When she got to the bulldozer shape pup house, she reached up a paw to knock on the door, but then stopped when the door opened on its own.
"Skye," the bulldog said giving her a small smile. "I'm glad you're here. . ." He moved back into his pup house, "come in."
As she walked in, Skye couldn't help but smile at the interior of the pup house. Most people would think that because Rubble liked to play in the sand, dirt, and mud, his pup house would be dirty and messy. Actually, out of all of pups, Rubble kept his pup house the cleanest. She walked past the neatly stacked 'Apollo The Superdog' comics, the shelf with CD player and neatly organized CD's, and sat down next to his spotless tan pup bed.
"Rubble-" She started to speak, but the bulldog interrupted her.
"Skye, I love you." He said, looking into her eyes. He let the words hang there for a few moments, and then he spoke again. "As much as it hurt watching you flirt with the pups when we were together, I realized it hurts much worse being without you." Tears started to fill his orange-amber eyes. "I love you and I don't think there's anything you can do to change that." He looked down for a moment to gather up courage, and then he focused his eyes on her again. "I want you back Skye. . . That is, if you want me."
Skye just sat there in silence. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Even after everything she had done to him, he was still willing to overlook all of it to be with her. "Rubble . . . I . . ." Suddenly she couldn't come up with anything to say. . . So instead, she began to sing. . .
Standing beside you, here in the dark.
Feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, your so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart.
And here you are by my side.
She saw Rubble smile, so she continued to sing. . .
So now I come to you, with open arms.
Nothing to hide, believe what I say.
So here I am, with open arms.
Hoping you'll see, what your love means to me.
Open arms. . .
He moved close to her and pressed his lips to hers. After a moment, he sang the next part. . .
Living without you, feeling alone.
This empty house seems so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near.
How much I wanted you home.
Now that you've come back.
Turned night into day.
Now, I need you to stay.
So now I come to you, with open arms.
Nothing to hide, believe what I say.
So here I am, with open arms.
Hoping you'll see, what your love means to me.
Open arms. . .
After he finished, they kissed with more love and passion then they had ever done before. A few seconds later, she pulled away. "I love you Rubble."
"I love you to Skye." He said as they pressed their lips together again. Then, he gently move her onto her back and stood over her.
The cockapoo blushed. "Rubble, wait."
"What?" he asked in confusion. "Am I moving too fast?"
She shook her head, "no that's not in it's just. . . I'm pregnant." He stared at her for a few moments, and then she broke into a smile. "There yours" she said, making him smile as well.
See what a mean?
The song is "Open Arms" by Journey.
Unfortunately, that brings this set of stories to an end. The rest of Skye and Rubble's story will take place in my series One Shot Wonders.
