Future

Chapter 14

*Skye's POV *

Ok. Everything and everyone is ok. Me. Chase. Our friends. Blue. Ryder. Katie. Lexi. Austin writes every week so I know he's fine. Our 5 pups. Yes, 5. I've not stressed, I've not got frustrated, Chase has pretty much insisted on carrying me everywhere for the past few months.

But then there's my dad. He has been pestering me to come home and get back into the modelling world but I really was never cut out for it. I was just so...clumsy. It's fine when Lexi asks me to model for her because it's just me, Zaidy and Everest so I can be clumsy and we laugh about it but in the 'real' modelling world, I was laughed at. I knew when he saw those shots on Lexi's website he'd do this. I stick by my decision, I'm not going back. If he can't grasp ahold of that then I guess I don't have a real father.

I smiled as I felt Chase snuggle into me, his nose burying into my fur.
"You ok?" He murmured sleepily.
"Yeah. Just thinking."
"What about?"
"Nothing important." I smiled, my eyes slowly closing.
"Guess what?" We glanced at the calendar, it was now March. We'd had one Christmas with Austin being away but he still managed to Skype Lexi, making her get more into the festive spirit. Time had flown by, it only seemed like yesterday that we were staying at Lexi's old house.
"Hmm. What?"
"Next week, our pups should be here." He pulled me closer to him, gently placing a paw on my belly.
"I know. It's great isn't it?" I looked up at him for a second before feeling a tiny kick from one of the pups. I grinned at Chase. He had gotten used to this by now.
"I'll get the treats." He laughed, jumping out of bed and pulling a blanket over me.
"Thank you." I looked across the room to where Blue was fast asleep. I smiled. I still can't believe he's 1. Where did that year go. Who'd have thought that three, no four couples would've got together and that two of those would start a family. I hope Blue doesn't feel like we're going to push him away. I won't intentionally but with five new pups, we'll be pretty busy. I smiled at the thought of having the new additions. I was kinda scared but I couldn't wait.

-in the morning-

I woke up to an immense amount of pain in my back. I hissed as my eyes opened, causing Chase to stir.
"Mmmm. Morning sweetheart." He groaned, lifting his head off of our bed.
"Morning." I looked over at Blue's bed and saw he wasn't there. Must've been playing with the others. A pain went shooting up my spine again.
"Are you ok?" He asked, noticing my discomfort.
"Uh huh. Just a backache, nothing serious." I assured him. I groaned as I got up and made my way slowly to the living room. Maybe I just have to walk it off.
