My New Future

Chapter 129-2030

3 years later-2030- the twins are 7, madeline is 4, stassie-31, stefan 34

February

It was a cold February day, the twins were watching a movie and I was doing some work. 

"Mommy" Ella yelled.

I ran over to see where she was. She was hovering over Rocky who was laying

"What's wrong?" I asked

"He was walking then he randomly fell" She explained. I saw Rocky, he was breathing slowly, too slow. He was old and I know this day was going to come, but I didn't think it will be now.

"Go get your dad, tell him we need to go to the vet. Now" I exclaimed. She ran out of the room and into Stefan's office

"It's okay" I said petting rocky. I picked him and headed to the car. Stefan came out of the house seeing me put rocky in the car

"What happened?" He asked

"Rocky collapsed, I am taking him to the vet" I said

"Kids, in the car. Let's go" Stefan said rounding up the kids. We got into the car and went to the vet. Once we reached, we were immediately taken to the back. The doctor explained how he was slowly shutting down because of his age. We can let him go but he would be in pain because he won't be able to get up much and move around or we can put him in ease and let him go now.

"Hey, I know this is hard for you but think of Rocky and how he could be in pain. This is a tough decision for both of us" Stefan said

"We should let him go, painlessly and peacefully" I said. This was hard because Rocky has been here since I have been 18. He was my best friend, always there for me no matter what. I wiped away the tears and told the vet what to do

I took the twins outside to explain what is happening

"Rocky is going where grandma michelle, grandma Maggie and Grandpa David is so we need to say our goodbyes" I said

"No, I don't want him to leave" Elijah said

"Neither do I but if we don't say goodbye, we will never be able to" I said wiping Elijah's tears

"Why does he have to go?" Ella asked

"Because he is old and in pain. You wouldn't want him to be in pain, right?' I asked. 

"No" Ella replied

We went back inside, the twins said their goodbye. Samantha met us at the place so she watched the kids while Stefan and I had a turn. I was going to stay in the room, not wanting Rocky to be alone. 

"Hey buddy, thank you for being a good dog and always being there for us either if you cock blocked me many times. You always protected us and specifically Stassie and I am very proud and happy you did. You are the best dog, and I know it will be hard but I love you so much" Stefan said petting rocky.

"Rocky, my little guy. You were the one their for me after I left my family and here till the very end of your life and god there is so much to say. You were my talking buddy, the dog who would sleep next to me when you knew I was sad, the dog who helped my anxiety. You have been there for me so much and it hurts to let you go. I wish this wasn't the way and I know you will be in peace but I don't want to lose you, you're my best friend." I said wiping the tears. I am losing my best friend, the one who was always there

"You're going to be okay now, you're going to be happy and I will see you again" I said

The doctor injects the medicine in the IV and he whimpers a bit but calms down. I kept petting him till he closed his eyes and was unconscious
