Lagoona: Draculaura! Check Out One Of My Romantic Novels!

Draculaura took the book from Lagoona and read a couple pages

Draculaura: I can't believe you went back to that school for this

Lagoona: I didn't finish it! it would have been $6.99 I never would have gotten back!

Draculaura rolls her eyes

Draculaura: whatever...

Frankie suddenly took the book from Draculaura

Draculaura: Hey!

Frankie: you have to share!

Frankie turned the page when a whimper was heard

Frankie: whimper all you want, I am not giving this back until I'm done babe

Draculaura: I'm not whimpering, I think it's coming from outside

Lagoona: werewolves whimper, could Selena have given birth?

Draculaura: no! it's way too early and even if that did happen, we would hear cries not whimpers, along with Selena screaming

they all heard the noises coming from outside, they walked outside and Draculaura looked in a bush and pulled out a baby puppy

Draculaura: *gasp* It's A Baby!

Frankie: I didn't know dogs were that ugly

Lagoona: Frankie!

Frankie: what? Selena told me most babies are ugly when born!

Draculaura rolls her eyes and gently strokes the animal who whimpers, Draculaura stands back up and looks around to try and find its mother and siblings. she hears noises behind a tree and gets jumped by a feral but Frankie grabs some rope and ties it on a tree

Draculaura: remind me to never come to this side of the forest

she continues to look around but finds nothing

Draculaura: did your mother and siblings really abandon you?

Frankie: isn't there a place we can take it?

Draculaura: every vet and shelter is abandoned, because we're in an apocalypse

Frankie: oh yeah, well.. can we keep her?

Draculaura: taking care of an animal is very hard work and we have no dog food

Frankie: please? the baby will need someone to play with when we're busy

Draculaura: I... *Sigh* fine, but lets make sure no one is allergic, but if that baby is allergic, I don't know what we will do...

INSIDE

Selena gently stroked the puppy's back while it drank some water

Selena: I'm okay if this little angel wants to stay

Cleo: yeah it's so cute!

Deuce: cool with me

Lagoona: at least we have some more meat in case food runs short

they all stare at Lagoona who chuckles nervously before leaving the room

Hollow: I had a dog back home, it can pretty much eat any food except for chocolate, onions, raisins, milk, nuts, garlic and mushrooms

Frankie: well good thing we have lots of meat then!

Draculaura: okay there is no way you knew all that from the top of your head Willow

Hollow throws her a book about dogs

Hollow: read it, stole it from that library we went to yesterday

Draculaura: okay? *gives puppy to Mai* hold her please

Mai: what?

Draculaura turns the pages

Draculaura: this could be a guide on how to care for it, I wish we picked up a book on how to raise babies

Mai started to freak out

Mai: It's Moving! It Feels So Warm And Weird

Draculaura: Aha! we need to keep it warm since it's body can't warm itself up yet, so Mai keep holding her

Mai groans

Draculaura: give the puppy either a milk replacement or water, well then it has to be water... can baby formula work?

Mai: It's Peeing On Me!

Draculaura puts the book on a table and takes the puppy back. her and Frankie look at each other

LATER

Selena yawned and left her room to use the bathroom when she saw Draculaura still awake and petting the sleeping puppy. Selena sat next to Draculaura

Selena: are you okay?

Draculaura: no... it's just, this puppy is kinda like what your baby will be, small, weak and helpless, what if I can't protect it?

Selena: I'm sure you will do an amazing job, you'll be like a second mom to it

Draculaura chuckles a bit

Draculaura: thanks

Selena gives Draculaura a small hug and takes the puppy

Selena: I'll let her sleep with me. good-fright

Draculaura: fright

Draculaura goes to her bed and lays down and soon falls asleep

THE NEXT NIGHT

Draculaura yawns and leaves her room and heads to the kitchen to see Deuce and Lagoona feeding the puppy with Hollow's help

Hollow: you can't feed a baby puppy Toast!

Deuce: why not?

Lagoona: it has no teeth yet!

Deuce: fine, I'll get some water

Draculaura chuckles and enters the kitchen

Draculaura: how is she doing?

Hollow: great, her eyes are open

Draculaura smiles seeing the puppy's purple eyes

Draculaura: does it have a name yet?

Selena: yes

Selena comes into the kitchen and places the dirty cup into the sink

Selena: Crescent is her name

Draculaura: I like crescent

Draculaura pets the puppy and chuckles as she snuggles her finger

Draculaura: welcome to the family Crescent
