Future

Part 24

*Lexi's POV*
I left Rubble's pup house after talking to him and went in search of a certain grey pup and his mate. Luckily, it was only the two of them now in the living room.
"Rocky. Zuma." I called firmly. They hopped off their beanbag and walked over, well Rocky limped. They stood in front of me and looked up. I hadn't realised how much the pups had grown: Rocky, Zuma, Marshall and Chase were almost knee height stood next to me.
"What is it?" Zuma asked.
"I need to talk to you two but in private in case anyone walks in." I led them down to my room.
"Hold up I'm limping." Rocky Called after us.
I walked over and bent to his height, resting one arm around his hind legs and the other on his chest. I lifting him into my arms and carried him the rest of the way.
"Hey What was up with Wubble?" Zuma asked as we entered my room. I set Rocky on the bed and walked back to close the door.
"I've just had to give him a certain talk that I was hoping I wouldn't have to yet, because he saw Rocky get his limp."
I folded my arms as the pair looked at each other and back at me nervously.
"Guys I appreciate and accept and support you as a couple but there is a time and a place. Don't bring up the fact that you're animals because Marshall, Everest, Chase and Skye aren't constantly doing it." The pair hung their heads and whimpered.
"We're Sorry." Rocky said, still not looking up.
"Yeah, Sowwy Lexi." Zuma added.
"I accept your apology but I'm afraid I'm still going to have to ground you two. No leaving the lookout unless you're on a mission okay?"
"Okay."
"For a week."
"Yeah." My laptop beeped, informing me of an incoming Skype call. Austin. I lunged and clicked accept to see the love of my life appear on the screen.
"Hi sweetie." I smiled.
"Hi gorgeous. Hey Rocky, Hi Zuma." He looked at the pups behind me.
"Hey." The pair smiled and bounded over, one on either side of me, stood on their hind legs and leaning on the desk with their fronts. We talked for a good hour before ending the call and making my way to the kitchen to make dinner for everyone. I smiled as I saw the pups doing their own thing. Zaidy and Rubble had fallen asleep on the couch together, Marshall and Everest were playing with Blue, Samson and Aiyana, Chase and Skye were snuggled up with their pups and Rocky and Zuma came to help me. Ryder was in his room finishing his homework and I knew that Katie was coming over for a movie night later. Everything was as it should be.
