PAW Patrol: Resurgence || Book One

(S1-C13) Second Chance

"Well, I have two things of good news for you girl." Haley said as she walked towards the husky's bed. "First of all, your breathing is back to normal, so you don't need this anymore. It's going to feel a bit weird when I take it out by the way." She stated, beginning to remove the tube from her throat.

The husky took a few breaths, glad to have the tube gone. It had been very limiting for the past few days. "Thanks, that thing was really annoying. Oh, and what else were you going to say?" She asked, realizing she had interrupted the nurse.

"And second of all, that means you get to go home today!" Haley announced. The pup immediately jumped up in excitement, she was waiting to hear that ever since she woke up.

"Really?!" She asked happily. Haley smiled at her obvious joy and gave her a small pat on the head, to which the pup nuzzled her hand in response.

"Yep, you finally get to get out of here and go see your family again. Now, what's your name?" The nurse questioned.

"My name's Everest." The husky replied.

Haley clearly got caught off guard by what she had said. "Wait, like the one from the Paw Patrol?" She asked with a small laugh, assuming it wasn't actually her. That Everest was dead, wasn't she?

"Yep, that's me." Everest confirmed, a bit confused on why she found that weird. However, she had been in a coma for three months now, so there really had been no way of knowing.

The girl's eyes almost popped out of her skull out of surprise. That was an answer she wasn't ready for at all. "Wait what? Y-you're the actual Everest?" She replied in return, earning a simple nod from the husky.

"Wow. I mean, Everest......everyone thought that died months ago. From what I heard, your funeral was just about a week ago." Haley explained, confirming one of her worries. The others thought that she was killed, so they had no idea that she, well, wasn't. She looked back at Haley with a very nervous expression, havning one other major concern.

"W-what about the others? Is Marshy still alive?" She asked, still completely unaware of what had happened to him after she fell off the cliff.

"Who is-, oh you mean Marshall, right?" The nurse asked in return. Everest blushed a bit realizing she had used his nickname, just out of habit. Regardless, she nodded. "Well, as far as I've heard, yeah he's alive and so is everyone else."

The husky sighed in relief. Her mate was still alive. Damian didn't kill him, and that's all she could've asked for. Although, She still knew that her supposed death would be very hard on him. It had likely taken a toll on him, she just wasn't sure how big it was. Either way, she would get to see him at some point today. Wait, wasn't today...."Haley, what is today's date?"

Haley thought for a moment, then just pointed to a calendar.  A huge smile appeared on Everest's face as she saw what today was, which Haley noticed. "Heh, what's that look mean? Is something happening today?" She asked.

"Today is Marshy's birthday." The husky replied simply, even more excited that she'd be able to see him on his birthday. She knew he'd be overjoyed to see her after all the time they had been sepertaed.

"Oh, well then, looks like we found him a good gift. So let's get you home so you can see him. Do you want me to call them to come and pick you up, or would you rather me just bring you there? I drive through Adventure Bay to get somewhere anyway so I wouldn't mind at all." Haley offered.

"I'll just ride with you then, I think it would be more fun to surprise them." Everest replied, trying to contain her excitement. Haley couldn't help but giggle seeing the pup so happy.
