Lacey was pregnant, and waiting for Bullet in the hotel, he had left to go hunting for her. He had also made her a nice whelping box on the bed by fluffing up the comforter and taking the bed sheets and putting them on top of her. She paced in circles, "C'mon Bullet, please make it in time." Her tongue hung out of her open muzzle as she started panting, she laid down, her eyes dashing around fiercely, looking for a sign that her mate would come. She was already feeling the contractions of the first puppy, letting out a small whimper, she felt an odd mixture of excitement and fear. She got up and went a in another quick little circle then plopped back down again. 'Oh please dear, I know out can make it.' She thought. Her tail thumped in anticipation for puppy number one to arrive. Lacey squinted as she felt another sharp pain, it was her first litter, and she was very nervous. Once again, she lay down on the soft bed, still waiting for Bullet, she sniffed the air to see if he had arrived.

Bullet sprinted into the hotel with a mouth full of 2 deer. He sprinted up the steps and jumped into the apartment. He brought them to the bedside and jumped up. "Lacey Lacey!! Is the first one arriving?" He said watching his mate have sudden busts of whimpers and pain. He licked her face 3 times then nudged his head onto hers. "It's ok, Love." He said as he felt excited and he felt bad because Lacey was the one who was having the pups. He watched as the first puppy came out. A hot tear rolled down his cheek and onto the bed. The cutest thing in the world was his baby child and his Mate and he couldn't help but notice he now has a family. He laughed and cried knowing this is where he had to become more mature and less mean. He had to be a dad now. The first one was a female. Spitting image of Bullet. "What do you want to name her, love." He said as he licked the newborn and picked her up. He brought her to her mom's belly so she could feed.

Lacey looked down at the tiny pup, she smiled from one little folded ear to the other. She chuckled as Bullet expressed his joy. And she felt quite the same, her first child, boy was that moment overwhelming, she wanted to hop out and jump around out of joy, but she knew she had to let her little girl version of Bullet nurse. "Hmm, how about one that starts with B, she looks exactly like her wonderful father." She licked his ear, "How about...Mocha." As she smiled and looked back down, another quick pain made a short yelp erupt from her throat. "Bullet!" She howled, this one felt like a boisterous boy. Lacey's leg kicked as puppy number two came into the world, she licked the amniotic sac away from the pup to let it take it's first breath. She was right, it was a boy,and a big one at that! He let out a shrill little long puppy howl, she giggled. "It's okay little fella, shhh." She nudged him towards her to nurse, the pup seemed more interested is figuring out what Bullet's leg was. "Well, its your turn. Whats it gonna be?" She smiled warmly and looked down at her new son, he had her looks, but the attitude of his father.

Bullet lifted his ears and licked Mocha. "Mocha is perfect." He licked her and brought her onto her mommy's tummy to eat. Them he pulled the next one. A cream colored doberman! "Aw my precious first son." He smiled and licked him then put him on his moms tummy to feed. "Lets name him, Ghost." He said as he licked his new little cream colored boy. The next one came out. It was another boy. "Love, you name your other new little son as he licked the boy. But the boy looked sick, Uh Oh. The Runt. It looked liked Lacey. "Oh no Love, it's the runt. He is sick." He said as he pulled him to his mom to drink milk. He drank a little bit then stopped. Bullet jumped off the bed and chewed up the deer, then spit it out and the runt ate it. The runt was different. He was not only small, but already eating meat and let out a little yap already. "He is sick still." Bullet looked concerned. "You name him, love." He said as he licked Lacey.

Lacey's heart sank as she watched the little runt, he was sick and surely different, very different. She whimpered as her little image squirmed as squealed, 'that's what I'll call him. Image.' She thought to herself. "Image." Yes, it sounded like a strange name, but that was the way she liked it, unique. "Come on little guy, you can do it." She nudged him to her belly to nurse with his siblings, her son didn't budge, he just squirmed, but slower this time. She nudged him again and let out a long whine, her throat hurt terribly, looking up at Bullet, she whimpered again. "Is he...." Lacey turned her head to her back fur, see looked upward through the window at the starry sky, 'Why did you let this happen?' She thought, she turned slowly to nudge Image one more time, she did it quickly and turned away. Her ears pricked up as she heard a small yip out of him. At first she thought she was imagining things, so she didn't turn around. Then she heard Image yowl again, cocking her head, she slowly turned her head. Lacey's face lit up when she suddenly felt the pup nursing! "Bullet! Image is alive!" For one moment she was extremely happy, but then winced as she felt it was time for the last pup. A beautiful female that looked just like Image, but bigger, "Well, it looks like she's the last." She laughed and nuzzled the pup.

Bullet smiled. 'Image? Well it is a unique name.' He licked Lacey then nudged Image. He picked him up and put him near his moms tummy so he can eat. He only ate a little bit then stopped. Bullet frowned and licked him one more time. The puppy ate a bit more then stopped again. bullet shrugged and put image down. He looked down at lacey and the last little female came out. He licked the last one and smiled "Lets name her Kalani." He said smiling as her tropical like colors reminded him of Hawaii. All four of his pups were together and happy. He watched as Kalani ate and he smiled. "Kalani, Ghost, Image and Mocha. Our beautiful family." He said smiling at Lacey and looking down at the pups. "Lets keep the pups in this box until they are 1 month old. Then they can walk and play. I won't teach them how to fight and do other things until they are 7 months old." He smiled and nudged his litter.

Lacey let out a short laugh and yawned, it was hard work giving birth to 4 beautiful pups, but it was VERY well worth it. She released a long, exasperated sigh and laid her head on her paws. She was exhausted, and relieved with her days success. She knew she had much to learn in the inner workings of parenthood; but she was ready, and hopefully, with her mate, Bullet's help of course, to raise splendid, majestic, hard-workings members of the West-Siders Pack. And with that happy thought lingering in her mind, Lacey closed her eyes, and slowly but surely, fell asleep.
*Skipping to Morning*
Lacey's eyes opened, all thanks to the sun shining in her face. A quiet yawn erupted from her throat, she smacked her lips to get the morning taste out of her mouth and looked down at her pups. "Good morning my little darlings." She whispered, she laid her head lightly on the sleeping litter and snuggled a little with them. As she looked over the side of the bed, she very carefully slipped away from her children and crawled over to sleeping Bullet. She plopped down next to him and started to fall asleep again.

Bullet nudged Lacey and said "You, get some rest. I'll take care off the pups and put them to sleep." He said as he smiled and pulled the puppies off the stomach when they were done eating and placed them on the comfy soft blanket. The laid on each other and next to each other and Bullet licked them one last time. He had done his job. He crept next to Lacey and fell asleep.
*Morning*
Bullet had woken up when she snuggled next to him and he got up. He quickly brought up the deer and brought out the meat. The puppies awoke and he pulled Image to the meant and chewed it up. He put it in front of Image and Image ate it. He didn't drink milk but Image needed it. He pulled the other dogs to Lacey and they drank up. It surely wouldn't wake Lacey up. He ate some of the deer and saved some. He jumped off the bed and went out to hunt.

Lacey awoke as she felt Bullet jump off the bed, the first thing she noticed was Image, he was squirming and slithering his way towards her. She helped him along and picked him up, she set him down next to his siblings, "Please drink sweetie, you need it to survive." Her nose pushed his little rump to get him to eat. But he wouldn't every time she placed him there, he would either cry until she took him away from them, or just make his way up to her chest instead. She sighed. "Oh Image, what will I do with you." She nuzzled the pup and looked back to his brothers and sisters, "Look your siblings are eating, why don't you?" As the pups started to fall asleep, she slinked away and quietly hopped off the bed. She peered out the window to see Bullet running out the door, "Hm, probably just hunting." Her tail wagged as she watched him leave, she was glad she had found the perfect mate. When he was out of sight, she climbed out the window and onto the little roof above the entrance. She felt the wind brush her face, Lacey jumped back inside the building and turned on the TV. One by one, he took the pups to the sofa, "And this is called dogs 101." She told them as she flipped through the channels.

Bullet came into the apartment again but this time he had 1 rabbit and 3 deer. He laid it down and said "Dogs 101." He chuckled then dragged in the carcasses. "No rats because they might carry disease. I don't want them being infecte-." He looked up at the pups and looked back at Lacey. "The PUPS!!!! THEY MIGHT BE INFECTED FROM MY GENETICS." He jumped on the couch and looked at his pups. Only 1 was infected. "THATS WHY IMAGE IS THE RUNT, HE IS INFECTED." Bullet jumped off and paced around the apartment. "Image is going to become meaner and a bit more paranoid. Not as mean as me because that is me, but a bit more cocky and short tempered. Not very mean though. He will be bigger when he grows up and a bit more cautious." Bullet looked at Image and thought 'My personality image' He shook his head and let out a half smile.

Lacey's heart almost stopped and her ears almost became as Bullet's as he said the words "Image" and "Infected." She quickly but carefully hopped off the couch to get a good eye view of all the pups. They all came wriggling up to her licking her nose, yipping for more milk. She giggled at them and nuzzled them, she looked at Image, he was at her nose too, snuffling and licking her muzzle. But he wasn't making a sound, he didn't want any drink, he wanted meat. Looking up at Bullet, she smiled, she was glad he didn't mean "infected" as in "sick", but infected with his dad's personality traits, and just a tad different.
Quick to Anger
Show off
Wary
Yes, Image would be a little more difficult to raise, but she was willing to go through with it. Her face filled with a determined smile look as she turned back to Image, "Hehe, I can tell your going to be quite a challenge. But you've got the bloodline of champions." Lacey licked him and warmly smiled, she remembered when she was a show dog, she was deemed as a puppy champion that was going to win medals and be a breeding dog until those hope's were crushed by that panther killing her family, and the humans all getting sick and dying. She got up and stood next to Bullet, looking at her little ones, "Do you think Mariah is up to the challenge dear?"

He licked Lacey and said "Yes love. She is commited. Should I call her while we go out tonight or maybe another day?" He said looking into Lacey's eyes. He wanted to take Lacey on a trip to something he made for her. He also wanted to take his pups to there first place outside when they start walking. He looked at his pups and picked them off the couch. They all crawled in every direction. His pups where so perfect. Ghost was the leader, the biggest one, the second most stubborn and the deepest yipper and howler. Image was the smallest, the most stubborn, the meanest and the roughest . Mocha was the spitting image of her dad, she was the third biggest or second smallest, she was the toughest and the most fearless one. Well all of them were fearless but nothing affected Mocha. Kalani was the spitting image of Lacey, she was the sweetest, the most aware, the wisest and somewhat fearful.

Lacey licked him back, "Alright, but lets not take so long, it's their first day without their mom." She jumped on top of the bed again to nurse them for one more time, and took the puppies on it too, they kept yowling for more food over and over. "It's okay loves, here you go drink up." She told them warmly as they began to settle down as they nursed. Watching Image, he still refused to drink, she nodded to the meat Bullet had gathered to tell him to give it to Image. "Oh, and don't forget to tell Mariah about Image's drinking problem, okay love?" She said, still looking down at the pups. For once, focusing on all her pups, she determined what rank each would probably have when they were older. They all looked like they would be betas. Ghost looked like he would make a fine fighter, with his brute strength which he constantly showed off as he was feeding, he pushed and shoved his way until he was the first to suckle. Mocha seemed as she could be a great hunter, Lacey always spotted her sneaking up on her siblings and attacking them. Kalani was definitely going to become an amazing scout, she stopped every now and then from nursing to check her surroundings. And Image...Well, they would just have to wait and see.

Bullet nodded and smiled. "Yes, love I won't forget. These are my newborns and I won't let myself screw anything up." He licked Lacey on the cheek and licked his pups. He ate a rabbit and gave another whole rabbit to Image who surprisingly ate half of it. it was a pretty big bunny and Image was the runt. He ate some of the deer he caught and he saved the other 4 carcasses. He wanted to take Lacey to her old territory and he made a heart with a rare breed of animal which was a deer. A fat deer. It says 'the generation of Border Collie lives' on because Bullet heard her family died and he wanted to make her happy. He also got Lacey's favorite flowers around it and a panther with an arrow in it. He wanted to make her happy and forget her past. He howled for Mariah.
-Mariah-
She heard Bullet's deep echo like howl and she sprinted up the steps. She walked in and saw the worlds cutest 4 puppies and said "Bullet, Your pups are absolutely cute!" She went up to the pups and looked at them. Her eyes widened. Bullet went up to her and told her everything she needs to know about them. She nodded and as they walked out of the door she put the puppies on the bed and let them go to sleep.

Lacey's ears pricked up as she heard Mariah's paw steps going up the stairs, she turned to see her padding over to the puppies, she felt proud and held her head high as Mariah mentioned how adorable they were. She walked over to Bullet at the door and trotted beside him as they exited the old hotel. "So, where to hot-shot?" She asked as she licked his neck, her tail waving like anything. Her mate, always full of surprises, she was so overjoyed that it was his mission to make her happy. She walked proudly beside him, she also wanted to see to it that she made Bullet happy too, always a little bit ahead she turned her walk into a trot, then trot into a center, then before she knew it, she was enticing him to run with her to this special place he was taking her to.
