Mitch's POV

I sat down on her side of the bed. I put my hand on her side and gave her a kiss.

"Hmm?" She gave me a sleepy smile.

"Nothing," I say "Go back to sleep." I ran my fingers through her long, silky brown hair and gave her a kiss.

"Ok." She said shaking her head 'Yes' and turning over.

I stood up and walked to the computer. Duke came trotting in.

"Come 'ere Duke." I said patting my legs.

He runs towards me. I grab his favorite toy, a rope, and start to play tug-o-war. I write on a piece of paper:

Dear Lilac,

I'm taking Duke out for a walk. We'll be down by the dog park. Maybe find Duke a girlfriend. Haha, just kidding. If you want to meet us there when you wake up, feel free to, we enjoy your company.

Much love, Mitch.

I set the paper on her night stand near her glasses. I pick up Duke's leash, hook it onto him and pull him down stairs. I grab a quick bite to eat. While I eat I let Duke eat his food. After I eat my toast I made I pull on Duke's leash and say:

"Come on Duke!"

He looks up. I start to walk out the door. He trots after me. We get onto the sidewalk were I run into a little girl.

"Hi!" I say.

"Hello." She whispers.

"What's wrong?" Her head was hung low, the I noticed a flyer that was in her hand.

"Nothing," She looked up, a frown on her face.

"Did you loose your dog?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said softly. "Here's a flyer. Please look for him."

"I will. What's your name?" I ask.

"Marie," she shrugs.

She walks over to the next house. Duke and I go on our way and go to the dog park.

--Skip to Dog Park--

I'm now at a jogging pace. Duke, as always, trotting beside me. When we reach the dog park I let Duke of his leash. He goes around, making new friends. I take a seat on a bench to cool down. I close my eyes for a little when I feel a head rest on my shoulder, I open them.

"Hey baby." I said rubbing Lilac's head.

"Your messing up my hair." She said fixing it.

"Sorry." I said putting my arm around her.

"It's ok." She says. She has her hand on her belly.

"You ok?" I ask.

"Yeah, just the baby." She sighs.

"I still don't understand why you aren't happy," I sigh. "I mean we'll be starting a family."

"I know, I just don't want a kid this early."

"It'll be ok." I said giving her a kiss.

She lays her head in my shoulder once again, I put my head on hers. We sit and watch Duke play with all the other puppies.
