Nikita barked repedily.Zorro slammed into her and knocked her over,he door way was cleared so he burst on the streets.Nikita beeing the spoiled dog she is, diddn't take the time to run... she was slow.So Zorro quickly out ran her.He stopped at the beach."mmm....oohhh....they are my pups.....but not intitionaly.......those poor things......they'll never have a father.....They will but...how could I?........My mate is Songa not Nikita....she has distroied lives just to make her's perfect......"he said to himself."ooohhhh.......now what?"he sighed...

"You go and take care of your pups.." A voise said behind him. He jumped around and saw Songa behind him. "Zorro, I should have told you, I saw Nakita leaving the boiler room that night. And I new what happend, but my dad said to wait and see, and so far we can't tell if it's trure." Songa said, nuzzling him. A tear fell down her face. "Don't cry.." He said. "Trust me, things will work out. And mabey.. she's not, but even if she is... I will still stay with our family." Zorro said. About a week later, Nanook and Dagger's wounds healed. But Dagger now had two scars on his cheek, wich made Songa's blood boil even more. "Mommy, why won't my boo-boo's go away?" Dagger asked, not knowing that they would stay for the rest of life. "There scares hon, they wont go away. But you also won't feel them." Songa said. "Oh okay!" Dagger smiled, he was happy that they wouldn't hurt like they used to. "Oh, and daddy will take care of Nakita for doing that to you." Songa said, wich made his smile grow even bigger.

"yeah buddy."She smiled."yay!"He smiled and chased is tail."hmh hm hmm."Songa giggled."You know what,Shade has a scar too."Songa smiled.Dagger had looked up to Shade for his bravary."Wow."He said and Rased off to playfight with his siblings.Zorro walked by with his head low."uhhhhhh"He sighed

"Whats wrong?" Songa asked. He lifted his head and she saw a claw mark on his face. "What happend?!"" Songa gasped. "I chased Nakita, and I sliped into her house. But I didn't mean to! And her owner hit me." He sighed. "Okay thats it!" Songa growled. "No Wait! Thiers somthing else.." Zorro started. "What?" Songa asked. He looked at her, Songa could see sadness in his eye's. Oh no She thought. "He frowned and looked back at his feet.

"Nikita..."He sighed."oh..."Songa sighed too."it's been like three mounth."

"How many are there?" Songa asked. "I don't know, they havn't been born." He sighed. "Daddy! I got's a scare!" Dagger said. "Haha, yes you do son." Zorro laughed. Dagger walked proudly back out to his siblings, but as the two adults turned they heard one of thier pups cry out. "NAKITA!! SHE"S COMING!!" They said. They looked, and sure enough, she was walking tward them. "Oh great!" They sighed. Songa herded all the pups up and hid them."OOOHHHHH Zorro will you come back home with me?I feel awful."Nikita lied.Song noticed how small her belly was."Okay,ethier you've allready had your pups,or thiers like one or two of them!"Songa growled."Songa I can't-ooouuuuhhhhh-Talk right now..."Nikita said."ZOORROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!"NNikita screamed.Songa backed up."go on...."She cried. "I will only go if my real mate comes with me!" Zorro said, in a ferm voice. Nakita growled to herself. "Fine!" She finnely said. They walked back to her house and there were no pups in site. "Are you sure you feel awfull?" Songa asked. "Uh YEAH! I feel oooohhh, so bbaaaad." Nakita said, putting her paw over one of her eye's. "What a joke!" Songa said to herself. The Nikita's eyes grew."OOOOHHHHHHHH HELP GEt MY OWNER OH NOOOOO I'M NOT KIDDING THIS TIME!!!!"She yelled.Zorro looked at Songa."You know what to do,I'm I guy,I'll be in the kitchen.He left."SONGA AHHHH HELP!" Nikita yelled. S**t! Songa thought. Her owner came in. About an hour later, Nakita was very tired. "Its just so sad." She heard her owner say. "Three four pups, only one lived." She said. Nakita's head shot up. "What?" She whisperd. She looked at her side, and her owner was right, only one pup lied next to her. It was a very small pup, but it was healthy. "No." Nakita cried. "Im very sorry." Songa and Zorro said. Nikita growled at Songa."WHAT DID YOU DO?"The growling turned into snapping."YOU KILLED THEM!"She barked."GET OUTTA HER YOU @#%^& !"Nikita growled.As they left Songa saw a tear run down Nikita's face."don't worry little boy....my little boy....my little boy......I promise nobody will ever hurt you....your my little boy."She sand in a lulaby voise.Songa left.She had to somway tell her she diddn't do anything to them...
