Work has really been picking up, so now that is out of the way. At the end of this chapter, I will put the ECHL playoffs and the NHL Playoffs at the end of each chapter. I will be working as hard as I can to get the next chapter up. So, enjoy the chapter everyone.

CHAPTER 38

(Jeremy's POV)

We are all at home, after going to the park. Everyone is just all in the living room, watching TV, while Wildfire and Blaze are taking their nap, since that they didn't go to the park with us. I was in the kitchen getting the food ready for lunch. I'm making them some homemade pizza, since I got all the stuff that I got for it.

Lilly is in the living room on the couch, just relaxing and watching TV. I smiled to myself as she is glowing with new life in her. Lilly noticed this and said "Are you looking at my stomach right now." I chuckled at this and said "Yeah, I'm looking at your stomach. It is absolutely glowing with new life."

She smiled at this and said "That is very sweet of you, babe. I am about two weeks pregnant right now." I nodded at this and said "I know that, love. I just can't wait for the pups to be born again." Her smile got even wider and said "I can't wait either! I wonder what the pups are going to look like this time."

I shrugged and said "I don't know. We just have to wait and see." Kate nodded at this and said "Yeah, we just have to wait and see. There is no need to rush it, though." Lilly nodded and said "Exactly." I chuckled at this as I put three pans of pizza in the oven and set the timer. I went over to the couch and sat down next to Lilly, putting my arms around her. She just purred when I do that.

"Oh, you know I really loved that." she said, smiling. I smiled to and said "I know that love. That is why I'm doing it right now." She smiled even more and said "It's a good thing that you do. Where would I be, without you.?" I chuckled at this and said "You would probably be still in Jasper. But it's a good thing that I came up and swept you off of your feet."

She got some tears in her eyes and said "That is the sweetest thing that you said. That is why that I love you, babe." I wiped her tears from her eyes and said "I love you too, Lilly. I better go check on the pizza's in the oven." She nodded at this and said "You better, I don't want the pizza to burn." I nodded at this as I got up from the couch and went into the kitchen to check on the pizza.

As I was checking the pizza and the kids and there mates are talking. I'm just listening to them while I was checking on the pizza. "I hope Dad, gets the pizza done in the oven. I'm getting hungry." Talyson chuckled at this and said "I'm sure, that he will get the pizza done. I'm getting hungry too, but I'm just being patient."

Star nodded at this and said "Yeah, just be patient. It will be done as soon as the timer goes off. Right, Dad?" I nodded at this and said "Yeah, that is right, Star. It only got about five minutes till it gets done." I heard a girly yawn coming from Wildfire, as she is getting up from her nap.

"Oh, you guys are back from the park? Is Uncle Jeremy making lunch right now?" she said, yawning again. I chuckled and said "Yeah, we got back from the park. Just waiting for the pizza to get done from the oven." Wildfire just nodded and then said "Okay, I'm going outside to go to the bathroom." She got up and went to the door to go outside.

"You know, Wildfire will be a great mother, once the pups are born." Kate said, smiling at Dustin. Dustin nodded and said "Yeah, I do have a feeling about that. She will be a great mother. I think that Ginger will be too." Kate smiled even more and said "That too. I'm so happy that our kids are growing up."

Lilly nodded at this and said "Yeah, I'm just glad that our kids found their mates. What can we do, without them?" I just chuckled at this and said "It does look like they did found their mates, when we went to Jasper at that time, when Winston died. I'm just happy for them."

Lilly sighed a bit and said "I knew your going to bring that up. I just missed Dad so much." I went over to her and said "It's okay, love. I know that you missed your Dad. I missed my Grandma and Grandpa too. But, you got to know that he is looking down on you right now." Lilly smiled a little as Eve said "What he said is true Lilly. He is looking down on us right now."

Lilly giggled a bit and said "I know, Mom. Jeremy, thanks for cheering me up. I know now that, my Dad is watching over us." I kissed her forehead, which made her purr and said "Your welcome, love. I better go back to check on the pizza." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "You better, because I'm getting hungry."

I chuckled at this and went back to the kitchen, just as the oven timer went off. I got out those three pizza's and put them on top of the stove to cool, before cutting them up. Wildfire came back in just as I was starting to cut them up.

"Wow, it's time to eat already." Wildfire said, smiling. I nodded and said "Yup, it's time to eat. I'm just getting ready to send you guys a slice or two right now." She nodded at this and went over to Blaze to wake him up from his nap and to we can get ready to eat. She nudge him awake and he looked at her and said "Is it time to get up to eat already?"

Wildfire nodded and said "Yup, it's time to eat, babe. We are having homemade pizza today." Blaze licked his lips and said "That does sounds good. I'm getting hungry." I chuckled at this as I giving them their plates. I gave everyone a plate and I put one down in front of Lilly and she gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "Thanks, babe." I smiled and said "No problem, let's eat."

We are all eating the pizza and just talking to each other. We are all talking about what we are going to do for the rest of the day. "I think we can go to the mall to see if they got any new games to play." Colin said, smiling. Crystal nodded at this and said "I think that is a great idea. Don't you think so, Dad."

I chuckled and said "I think, that will be a good idea. I would like to get a family game so we can all play together." Crystal smiled at this and said "A family game would be nice. Is there any other games out there too?" I nodded and said "Yeah, there is other games out there too. So, when are we going to go?"

Crystal and Connor both said "After we eat." Lilly and I are chuckling at this and I said "Okay, we will go after we eat." We all continue eating until the pizza only has three slices left. "Oh, I don't think that I can eat another slice." Wildfire said, her paw on her stomach. I chuckled at this and said "That's okay, Wildfire. I'm going to put the rest in the fridge, so it can be saved for later."

"Good, I think I want it for later. I think I'm going to go outside again." She said, getting up to go outside. Blaze got up too and said "I'm going outside too. Just got to go." They both went outside and the others got up to go too before going to the mall. It's only Lilly, Kate, Dustin and I are in the living room, when they went outside.

"Do you got to go to the bathroom, before we go to the mall Lilly." I asked her, smiling. Lilly smiled and said "I do, but I just want to wait till they get back in." Kate nodded at this and said "So do I. I just want to wait." Dustin and I chuckled and Lilly said "I know, that we should've went outside, but we can wait till they get in."

I chuckled more and said "That's okay, Lilly. I understand that. I think they will be coming in, in a minute." Sure enough, they all came in feeling better going outside. Lilly and Kate got up and they both went out.

"Okay, now that everyone is gone to the bathroom. We are waiting for your mothers to get back in from going. After that we are going to the mall." I said, smiling. Crystal smiled at this and said "Oh, I can't wait to go to the mall!" Connor smiled at this and said "So can I. This will be a good day."

Star nodded at this and said "I wonder what we are going to do at the mall." Colin chuckled and said "I do know for one thing, that we are going to the game store at the mall." Ginger nodded at this and said "Yeah, we are going to pick out some games for the game system to play."

Star shrugged and said "Oh, I just forgot about what we are going to do." I chuckled at this and said "It's okay to forget about what we are going to do. We are just going to have some fun." They all smiled and howled about what we are going to do today.

(Lilly's POV) outside the apartment

Kate and I are outside the apartment going to the bathroom before going to the mall. Kate found her spot and did her business and I found mine to do my business. Kate got done first before I did and after that I did mine we both sat down on the grass, before going back inside the apartment.

"So, what games are they going to get for the game system?" Kate asked me, smiling. I smiled too and said "I don't know. They might get a family game for the game system." She chuckled at this and said "You never know, that they can get more than one game. We only got two new games since Christmas."

I nodded and said "That I do know of. I think a family game would be great, like Monopoly." She nodded at this and said "That could be a good family game. Is there any other games for the family." I shook my head and said "Not that I know of. I think, there will be more family games to play, if we just look around."

She nodded at this and said "Yeah, we can do that. Oh, how about some movies to get, for the apartment." I giggled and said "Getting some movies would be good too. But, it's up to Jeremy and Dustin." Kate nodded and said "Yeah, it's all up to them. I just forgot! It's New Year's Eve tonight after all."

I looked at her and said "Oh, how can I forget. Maybe that is why, we don't have to work today. We are off again tomorrow as well." Kate chuckled and said "So does Dustin and I. That's why it's a holiday. We get holiday pay anyways for not working." I chuckled and said "That is true. Let's go back inside to go to the mall."

We got up and walked to the front door and open it to go back inside to go get ready. We got back into our apartment and they are all just sitting around, waiting for us to get back in.

"There you are. Are you ready to go?" Jeremy asked us, smiling. Kate and I nodded and I said "Yeah, we are ready to go to the mall." Jeremy chuckled at this and said "Okay, let us get our shoes on, then we will go." Dustin and Jeremy got up and they went to get there shoes on. It only took them about a few minutes and Dustin said "All right is everyone, ready to go?" We all nodded that we are and we went out the door and got into both of our cars.

We pulled out of the lot and are going to the mall. I was just looking out the window, looking at the mountains and all the places around here. "So, which mall are we going to." I asked Jeremy, smiling. He chuckled and said "We are going to the mall that is closer to home. I just don't want to travel all over Phoenix, to get to every mall."

I chuckled at this and said "You don't have to go to every mall in Phoenix. We can go to one time and then go to the other the other time." He nodded at this and said "That is what I'm going to do. I just want to go one mall at a time." Colin chuckled at this and said "We can do that Dad. We don't go to every mall until we want to."

He nodded at this and said "Yes, Colin that is right. Let's just go to one mall and then the others later." Talyson also nodded at this and said "I agree with you, babe." Colin gave her a kiss on the cheek and said "I know that you would agree with me." She chuckled and said "I know that I would. How much longer, till we get there Jeremy?"

"It's only about a few minutes longer. So we will be there." Jeremy said, smiling. I smiled too and said "I can't wait to get there!" Jeremy chuckled at this and said "I know, love. So, it is just a few minutes till we get there."

I just nodded and just look out of the window and we are there in a few minutes. Jeremy found a parking spot and Dustin parked beside him and we all got out of our cars. The kids and their mates got out of the car and stretch out to relieve some tense muscles after sitting on the way there.

"Wow, look at this mall. It's a little different than the one back home." Crystal said, smiling. Star nodded at this and said "Yeah, this mall is different than the one back home." Jeremy chuckled and said "Yeah, this mall is different than the one back home." I just nodded and we walked inside the mall, getting ready to go into one of the stores. But first we stopped at the map.

We are looking at the mall and see the game place just close to the food court. "Would you look at that? The game place is close to the food court. Do you want to go to any other places, besides the game place?" Jeremy said, smiling. I giggled and said "Maybe to get some movies after this."

Jeremy is thinking for a moment and said "Getting some movies, is a good idea too." Kate smiled and said "Maybe there will be some movie that we will watch, that will be pretty good." I nodded and said "What kind of movie that we will see, that will be good."

Jeremy chuckled at this and said "We will see when we get there. But, first. Let's go to the game store, to get some games." I giggled and said "Well, let's head to the game store right now." We all starting walking to the game store and it only took about a five minute walk, to get there in the mall. We all walk inside the store and to look at the games they have on the shelves.

"What kind of family game are we going to get?" Jeremy asked me, smiling. I was thinking for a moment and said "How about Monopoly? Is that a good family game?" The kids and their mates nodded their heads and so did Kate and Dustin. Jeremy chuckled at this and said "That game is perfect. Do you want any other games too?"

I shook my head and said "Nah, that is a good family game to get." Jeremy chuckled at this and said "Okay, let's get this game and go to the movie store." Jeremy grabbed the game that we all wanted and went to the checkout counter to pay for it. He paid for it and now we are walking to the movie store. It was only a few stores down from the game store.

"Wow, the store is close to the movie store." I said, laughing. Jeremy chuckled at this and said "Yeah, it is what the map said. It was pretty close to each other." We walked in the store and going through the movies. I was looking at each of the movies and seen Alpha and Omega 2 on the shelf. I looked at it and said "Oh, Jeremy. I think I found one."

Jeremy came over and said "Oh, number two is already out. Okay, I will get it and then we can go." I wagged my tail and said "Okay, let's get it." Jeremy grabbed the movie and paid for it too and now we are going home. We all got into the cars and it only took about twenty minutes to get home. But we can wait to watch the movie and play the game.
