We All Grow Together

Chapter Six - Making A Gift For Rex

Time passed as Lincoln watched Ryder and Rocky work.

"Hey Rocky, didn't Lincoln want to help?" Ryder asks, noticing that the pup was curled up on the ground doing nothing.

Rocky looked at Lincoln before saying something. "Do you want to?" He asked him.

"Hum?" Lincoln asks, slightly looking up at Rocky.

"Do you wanna help us?" Rocky repeated.

"Oh. Ok." Lincoln says as he gets up and walks over to the two of them with his head low.

Rocky tilted his head at him, noticing his unusual behavior. "What's wrong Lincoln?" He asked, concerned.

"Nothing." Lincoln says lying.

Rocky raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing that he was lying. "It's not nothing Lincoln. What's the matter?" He asked putting his tools down and giving his full action to Lincoln.

"I think I made Chase mad." Lincoln says, as he starts to toying with a screwdriver on the floor.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Rocky asked, a tad bit confused.

"Well I had a accident this mowning cause Tucky was in the bathwoom, and i couldnt hold it. Den when I was brushing my teeth I need to poop, so i did it in my pull-up cause I thought it would be fine, but I think Chase was not happy. Den when Wryew told me to stay still I pee pee. And I think that make him mad." Lincoln says sadly.

"We know, Chase told us what happened this morning already. But did he say that he was mad?" Rocky asked.

"No, but I feel like he is. I feel like he is disappointed in me." Lincoln says sadly.

"Hmm, well, Chase is a pretty honest pup, so if he was really mad or disappointed in you, I'd like to think that he'd say something." Rocky said after thinking for a while.

"Yeah. But I know you guys are always twying to pwotect us and make us happy. So I not know if dis is all a mask." Lincoln says.

"Well, that is true, but we also know that family always comes first. No one knows that more than Chase, so I don't believe that Chase would be dishonest or try to hide anything feeling-wise from any of us." Rocky said.

"But how many secrets does he have that I not know? I not want to make him more mad, ow disappointed." Lincoln says.

"Well, you'll have to hear that from him. It's not my place to tell you secrets any of the other pups may have." Rocky said.

Lincoln sighed before speaking. "Do you think I make him mad? I want da twuth." Lincoln says.

"No Lincoln. I really don't think you did." Rocky said seriously as he put his paws on Lincoln's shoulders and looked him in the eyes.

"Weally?" Lincoln asks.

"Absolutely. I wouldn't lie to you." Rocky said, giving a kind smile.

Lincoln nodded yes as he looked down. "Last time I had 3 accidents he put me in diapers. But dis time he did not." Lincoln says.

"That's because Ryder made him promise that he wouldn't." Rocky said.

"Oh. So he was going to put me in a diapy." Lincoln says sadly.

"He was considering it yes. But he clearly didn't seeing as you're currently in another pull up." Rocky said, as he patted Lincoln's padded butt.

"Yeah, but I asked him and he told me dat he was not." Lincoln says.

"Huh?" Rocky asked, a little confused.

"I asked Chase after he changed me and he said no." Lincoln says.
