houses. On his way back, JT bumped into Angie.  "Angie!!" He exclaimed.  "Oh, JT! Where were you? Your human was worried about you!" She asked.  Then after starring him down for a moment, she realized how roughed up his fur was, that Terry girl's scent was all over him, too. It didn't take her long to put things together.

     "I gotta go! Jason's gonna be really mad at me!" JT said and ran passed Angie.

     JT walked into the house.  But Jason was still in bed, mabey he didn't know...

     JT jumped on his masters bed, trying to wake him.  "Ohh, hey JT.  Go on and... see that Terry dog again, I'll be leaving for work soon." Jason yawned.  JT leapt off the bed and out the door.  He quickly made it to Terry's and scratched on the door.

     Terry poked her head out the doggie-door.  She smiled when she saw her mate and let him in.  "My owner didn't even know I was gone!" She laughed.  "Mine didn't either." JT laughed along with her.  They snuggled up next to the fire place and just cuddled most of the day.

     A few weeks later, JT woke to the sound of scratching on his front door. He got up and poked his head out. "JT!!!" Terry exclaimed. "Haaaaa... What?" He yawned. "Come outside." She said in a soft voice. He stepped out slowly.

     "JT.." She said. She nuzzled him wildly, tears falling down her face. "Whats wrong?" He gasped. She sniffled. "Nothings wrong, I'm crying because I'm so thrilled!!" She cheered.

     She leaned in closer to him. "I just got back from the vets! I'm. Having. Puppies." She said. His eye's widened. Tears of joys filled his eye's. "I-I-I." He cried.

     A few month later

     JT raced to his mates home. His owner ran next to him. They both heard about Terry being pregnant with JT's pups. She had started to give birth when they got the call.

     The opened the door. "Come in!" Terry's owner said. JT and his owner walked up to Terry. Who had one pup next to her.

     In the end, about three hours later, the last two pups were born. The last one was very weak, and small.

     JT had to tell his friends, "I'll be back!" He said and ran out the door. He dashed to Dakota and Don's  cave. "Dakota!! Dakota!!!" He called. Dakota and Don raced to the front of the cave. "What! What's wrong!" Dakota asked.

     "Nothing's wrong! My mate just had pups! I'm a dad!!!" JT announced. "Congratulations!" Don said. "O I'm so happy for you JT!" Dakota said, nuzzling him in a friend like way. "Hey.. Where's Anna?" JT asked.  "Running around somewhere." Don laughed. JT chuckled and looked at Dakota, remembering that she had been a few weeks pregnant last time he saw her. 

     But this time, she was skinny, he knew that ment one thing. "Oh my gosh! Dakota, did you have your pups?" He asked.  "I was wondering when you'd catch on!" She giggled.  "But yeah, I had them about a week ago. Do you want to see them?" She asked.  "Oh wait, what are your puppies names?" Dakota asked. "Names? Oh gosh! Names! I'll be back later guy's, I'll see the kids then!!!" He called as he ran off.

     I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I'M A DAD I'M A DAD I'M A- JT's thoughts were broken by a familiar figure, Angie.

     He collided with her, they rolled and landed next to eachother.   "JT? Whats the hurry?" Angie asked.  "Angie! I-I-I'm a-" He stopped, he couldn't bring himself to tell her he was a father now. 

     "Your a what?" She asked.

     "A-a dad." He sighed happily and began running again.  Angie stood there in complete shock.  JT is a-a-a father? She had mixed feelings about this.  She was happy for him but a little upset at the same time.  She didn't want to tell him that though, she couldn't ruin his happy moment.

     Meanwhile, JT had just arrived back at Terry's house. He was shacking all over and walked inside.

     "JT!" His and Terry's owner smiled with happiness.  "Your just intime for names, big boy!" His owner Jason said, patting JT a bit roughly on the back. JT smiled proudly.

     They picked up the first born.  He was blond like Terry, had red ears and tail tip, a black streak going through the top of his legs, and black spots on his eyes.  He was the largest pup, too. 

     "If it's OK with you, I'd like for the pups to have 'double names' like JT." Jason said, Terry's owner nodded.  "What's would be a good name for this big guy?" Jason asked.  "Alexander!" Terry's owner chirped.  "Alexander...James?" Jason added.  The two smiled and sat Alexander James next to his mother. 

     The next pup was very weak, but was second born so the picked her next.  She was mainly red and has spots on ger face.  She had blond legs and a red streak connecting two dark red patches on her eyes.  Her tail was red and black with blond spots.  "I've always loved the name Jessie for a girl." Jason smiled.  "Jessie Carol, I that a good name?" Terry's owner asked and Jason nodded.  Alexander James, and Jessie Carol.

     One pup left.  She was the smallest but not th weakest, she was the youngest too.  She had red spots on her eyes, and a streak the led down from them to her legs and continued half way up her tail, then at the top of it.  She had a black spot on her back, and pawns.  Her ears were a pinkish color with dark red spots.  Her main color matched JT's undercoat. "I want to name her after her mom, Terry!" Terry's owner said. 

     "Why not mix her parents names? Like uh, Terry Jay, or Terry Jo-"

     "Thats perfect! Terry Jo!" Terry's owner exclaimed.

    "Terry Jo, Alexander James, and Jessie Carol." Jason said.

     My three children...three lives.. JT Thought to himself.

     The two humans left the room to give the family some alone time.  "I can't believe it.." Terry cried.  "Me neither."

      "And to think, we made them.  It's so amazing, oh I can't believe it." Terry sighed.  "Me neither."

     "I can't wait for them to grow enough so we can play with them!" Terry cheered.  "Me neither."

     "Is 'me neither' all you going to say?" Terry asked. 

     "I'm still just in shock." JT sighed.  "Me to, hun."

     It was mid day when the pups had been born, and now it was past dark, JT's owner had left a few hours ago.  JT decided it was time to go, he said his good-bye's and left.  As he walked he couldn't help but think of what he'd do with his puppies.  He could take them to the river, to the top of the mountains, to meet Dakota and Don, to meet Angie...   

     Angie! He knew she would want to see his puppies.  He then wanted her to be the first one to do so. 

     The next day he talked to Terry about Angie seeing the pups, she was fine with it and he went to go find her.  He new where she'd be, Dakota's cave.

     "Dakota?" JT called, "Come on in JT." She replied and he walked in.  He walked to the back of the cave, but only Don, Anna, and Dakota were there.  "JT, come and see them!" Anna smiled and took him to the tiny week-old pups.  "What are their names?" He asked.  "Aw, that one looks like you Don!" He smiled.  "Yeeahh I know.  His name is Flanker." Don said proudly.  "The grey one that looks like mom is Zoey." Anna smiled. 

     "The brown girl is named Candy Cane, and the boy is Ellis." Dakota finished.  "Those are great names" JT complimented.  "What about yours?" Don asked. "Alexander James, Terry Jo, and Jessie Carol." JT said.  "Aww, those are cute." Dakota said.

     "I'm looking for Angie, have you seen her?" JT asked.  "She's in the boiler room." Anna said.  "Thank Anna." JT chuckled and left.

     He found her in the boiler room asked her if she'd like to see the pups. "I'd love too!" She cheered and they walked to Terry's home. 

     They walked in and up the stairs. "She's in here." JT smiled.  They walked in, Terry was asleep.  "C'mon."

     JT and Angie sat down next to the sleeping female.  "That one is Alexander James or AJ, that one is Jessie Carol or JC, and tha one is Terry Jo or TJ." He
