Three months later...

"You guys can come in now...come see them...they're perfect." said Miki in a very tired voice, devoid of any energy. Her fur was soaked in sweat and dirt and other bodily fluids that had come from her body. She was also panting a fair bit-Understandable considering the unusual circumstances.

Igor and Iwanov both came inside the small den-like structure that had been made from what was leftover from the rotten house and some fallen branches. The floor was made from grass and other softer materials. The den was big enough for four full-grown dogs to fit inside. It had been built rather hastily and bits and pieces of the place were falling off just about every other hour and had to be constantly maintained.

"They're so small...they're the size of squirrels." said Satomi, equally as tired and exhausted as Miki was, though she wasn't as dirty as her friend was. She yawned and stretched her muscles.

In the paws of both Miki and Satomi were two pups from each girl; four pups in all. Four very tiny pups that had just come into the world in the midst of a war that threatened everything the four held dear to them.

In Miki's paws, she had one female pup with a cream pelt, dark grey stripe on her back with a smaller black stripe next to it, a brown neck and chest line, grey ears and a brown mouth. Next to the female pup was her brother, a grey male with rosy brown legs, brown stripes near his eyes, and a rosy brown and dark brown mouth.

In Satomi's paws, just as there was one of each in Miki's paws; she had a female and a male pup in her paws. The female was a light tan color with a light brown back pattern that went from the back of her head and ears to the top part of her tail. She had brown paws and brown stripes near her eyes.

The boy was almost white, with a light brown muzzle complete with a brown stripe that went down his nose. He was smaller than his sister, flailing about, trying to get used to his legs.

"They all look so different...such unique markings. They're perfect." wondered Iwanov as he went over to Satomi to get a closer look at the pups. Igor did the same. There was a brief moment before either one of the males kissed their mates, thanking them for such healthy pups.

Since the moment the two girls found out they were pregnant, there was one unanswered question until now: who was the father of these four pups? No one had any answer until the birth came to pass.

Iwanov took a look at the female and smiled; this darling angel looked just like him. The male seemed to take after someone else though. Satomi looked sad for a moment before her mate licked her tears away.

"It is alright, my dear, I see that male as my own son. You needn't worry about that. That male will have nothing to do with our son."

Igor took a look at the male pup in Miki's paws as it squirmed about, trying to get to her mother's nipples to get her first taste of milk. The little guy took after him and was just as squirmy as his sister was, but the female seemed to take more after her mother...and Victor. Miki seemed to take the fact that her daughter looked like that male, whom she refused to name in her mind, rather well. As far as she was concerned, they were both Igor's pups. No one could tell her otherwise.

"So...how are we going to take care of these pups whilst on the run?" began Igor, breaking the heavy silence that had entered the makeshift den and began to ask what to do next, since Victor's army was spotted not too far from where the escapees had taken refuge. The group had kept moving from place to place as often as they could, sometimes moving several times in a single day. Constant scouts were on patrol for any enemy soldier that came by. It was starting to look like Victor's army was closing in on the four, ever determined to slaughter them all.

"We take them to the human town and leave them with Lydia. I heard not too long ago that she defected from Victor's army and she has now joined the Ohu army. She seems to be pregnant as well, she could be the wet nurse to our pups." said Iwanov as he did a quick check outside the den to see if there was any danger. His eyes scanned the dark, barely moonlit woods for any sense of danger.

"All clear, let's go." said Iwanov as he helped everyone else. Each dog carried a pup in their jaws, making sure not to bite them. They began to make their way through the last of the wooded area and into the dark outskirts of the human town where Rydia had been seen by a local dog. It was rather chilly and the pups whimpered a bit, unused to the cold weather and they began to fuss for a few seconds.

"Hush, Little ones. We'll be in a warm place soon." said Miki as the group made their way onto a porch that was shaded from the cold sunlight. A few knocks on the door and it opened slightly to reveal a silver German Shepard female. She motioned for them to follow her inside without saying anything and quickly closed the door.

She let out a heavy sigh,

"Did anyone follow you?" she asked as she made some makeshift beds for the group. "Hopefully no one did follow you guys. The local dog told me that you guys were coming. I made these beds for you guys. Not the most comfortable, but they'll do for now."

"No one as far as we could tell. The snow blocked our vision for most of the journey. Annoying to say the least. I hate snow." replied Igor as he got Miki and Satomi settled down with their pups. Lydia covered the windows and any hole that she found in the walls and went to make sure everyone was comfortable. Soon the room was sealed off and heat began to fill the room.

"Good. Victor hasn't found you guys yet...though it's only a matter of time before they do however." she sighed in dismay as she checked in with the girls. She smiled as soon as she saw the four pups and kissed them. The little ones squirmed and fussed while she was kissing them.

"Adorable little ones. Congrats, you guys." she said as she sat down near the girls. As she sat down, Igor noticed Lydia's swollen stomach.

"Yeah, I'm having pups soon myself. Jerome's the father." she said with a smile. Igor looked shocked and then he giggled, his grin getting bigger by the second.
