Chapter 6

Sorry for a late upload, I have been busy with school, homework and stress for tests and exams. I will continue to post on this and on the other story, but i might not post every day. I am so sorry, but I thank you for staying with me and I hope you enjoy!

Marshall has been at Katie's for about four weeks under review to see how quickly he has been improving. All of Marshall's wounds have healed or almost healed and he is expected to leave today. All of a sudden, Everest started breathing heavy.

"I...I...It's comming!"

"KATIE!" yelled Marshall at the top of his lungs.

Katie walked in to see Everest in a lot of pain, and knew what was happening. Katie picked up Everest and went into another room and Marshall followed closely behind. Marshall was lying right next to Everest and Marshall gave Everest his paw and she started to squeeze it.

"Push" said Katie.

Everest started moaning and first came out one, then two, next three, after four, then five and then six.

"I...I...I can't Marshall, I just...can't"

"I know you can do it. I am right here."

Everest pushed again and out came seven and eight.

"Congratulations Everest and Marshall, you are the parents of eight pups!"

Everest and Marshall were hugging each other and were so relieved. Everest was in the hospital for evaluation for a couple days, and Marshall stayed with her the whole time. At the lookout tower, Ryder, Jake, and the pups found out that Everest gave birth to eight. Jake knew that Everest would probably need to stay with Marshall to take care of the pups, as well as they need to stay warm.

"Pups, lets go to Katie's to see the new parents."

The pups got into their cars and Jake rode on Ryder's ATV. They drove to Katie's and saw the eight pups. Some pups looked like a husky with spots, Dalmations, or huskys. Katie came out and said that Everest and Marshall were sleeping in the room. The pups, Ryder, and Jake went into the room and saw Everest and Marshall hugging.

"Shhh, be very, very quiet."

The pups were able to stay very quiet and sneak right next to the pups and they were still sound asleep until one of the newborns started whining and Everest and Marshall both woke up immediately.

"Where is the pup!" said Marshall and Everest. They didn't notice the pups nor Ryder or Jake and ran out to the lobby, where they saw one of their pups whining. Everest picked up the pup and started licking the pup and after about one minute, she stopped and went back into their room.

"Ah!" Everest was startled when she saw all the pups, Ryder, and Jake. Marshall ran in and started to growl, but when he realized that it was Jake, Ryder, and the PAW Patrol, his growl turned into a smile. Everyone, including Everest, was shocked that Marshall was growling at them, but they also understood that Marshall cared about Everest. Everest saw this and kissed him, which made Marshall blush.

"H..hey guys." Marshall said with a smile. He saw everyone but Everest in a state of shock on what had just happened.

"Don't worry, Marshall, they were just startled at your reaction."

The pups and Ryder were still in a state of shock, but Jake got out of it.

"Everest...could I talk to you...alone?" Everest could tell that Jake was sad, but she went with Jake to another room.

"Everest...I am giving you to Ryder at the lookout." Jake started to cry, but Everest started to hug his leg.

"I'm sorry, Jake. I am talking to Marshall, and I..." The door opened and Marshall came in.

"Everest, I am willing to move to Jake's mountain for you to be with Jake." Everest went to Marshall and hugged him, crying.

*sniffling* "T-thank you M-Marshall. I l-love you. You don't h-have to do this f-for me."

"I do. I am willing to compromise for you."

"Marshall, please..."

"Everest, I want you to be happy. If that means staying with Jake, I am willing to move up there too."

"Wow, Marshall, that is true love" said Jake. Everest was torn to either stay in Adventure Bay or go back up to Jake's mountain. Jake told Everest that the cabin was fixed and that there is room for both Marshall, Everest and the eight pups.

"I don't know...I want to be with Jake, but I also want you to be happy Marshall."

"I will always be happy when I am with you."

Marshall then started to feel woozy, so he started to walk to the door, then he collapsed.

I will try and get the next story up tomorrow, but if I can't, I will try and give you an update when I do post it.
