When the family hug finally stopped, it was getting late (it already was).
"I'm so happy, this will be your first night home!" Urka said.
Rico shook his head. "I already have a home."
"Oh then. Are you still staying?"
"No."
Urka nodded. "Wherever you're going, my boy, we'll go."
"Rico lives with his friends in America," Ru said.
"All the way in America? How are we suppose to get there before night?!"
"One of his friends build a machine to take us here, and back," Rica said.
"Plus, one of his friends came with him!" Ru explained.
Urka looked around. "Are you sure you're not in a crazy stage?"
"Kowalski!" Rico jumped, and franticly looked around for his friend. He, Rica, and Ru checked the bushes. Ru dragged Kowalski out.
"Oh, my!" Urka ran over, along with the others, to help out.
When Kowalski woke up, he was in a leaf-lined nest. Urka looked down at her patient.
"Sorry, it's too dark for you to go início tonight," she said.
"The wolves," Ru shuddered.
Urka covered Kowalski in a grama woven blanket, as he sat up.
"Uhh, what happened?"
"Musta fainted," Rica said, not really caring.
Rico made one of his crazy motions of fainting, it took a solid 30 seconds.
Urka giggled, and the lovebirds flirted once more.
Ru went up to Kowalski and explained what happened, and how they couldn't get início tonight. "Or the wolves," she finished.
"Oh, please. I can take out a few wolves," Kowalski bragged.
Ru shook her head. "Don't think about trying."
"Oh, I made you some dinner," Rica said, handing Kowalski a clay bowl. "Fish stew."
"Yum," Kowalski said sarcasticly. "Where's the spoon?"
"What's a spoon?" Rica asked. Kowalski shrugged and slurped it from the bowl.
It was the best thing he had ever tasted!!! Even better than those old peixe from the boat, back then!
"Made it myself," Rica said.
"Wow," Kowalski said, licking the bowl clean. "Got any more?"
"A whole night's worth, my boy!" Rica chuckled, and got him more.
Ivy groaned loudly. "When are they coming back?"
"Soon," Private said, "soon."
Johnson looked at the clock. "Actually, in the time zone they're in, it's late night."
Ivy moaned, and whispered to Private. "Do you know my secret?"
"Yes, I think we all do, Private whispered.
"It's.... It's...."
Ivy moaned and groaned. She petted her swollen belly. "They'd better be back soon, I can't stand this."
"I know, I know," Private comforted. He had really no idea of the pains she was going through, but it couldn't be anything too bad. He though, but was wrong.
"So, uh, Skipper," Johnson asked. "Want to play a card game?"
"Nah,"
"Bored game?"
"Nah,"
"Something to pass time?"
"Nah,"
Skipper stared at Ivy. No matter, she was in pain. she squeezed Private's flipper. Her eyes closed and sprang a new fonte of tears.
"I can't urso it!" she screamed.
"Close your eyes, everything will be just fine," Private said.
"No it won't," Ivy had trouble saying the words.
"It will be okay, it's okay."
Private's words soothed her, and Ivy fell asleep.
The lobos howled outside. Urka and Rico shuddered in their nest, but still askeep. Rica was also asleep, snoring. Ru was sitting at the table, weaving some grama together. She dropped it and ran to her nest.
Kowalski settled down in the nest, under his blanket, it was surprisingly cold. He was almost asleep, when he realized.
The machine is still on! Anything could acidentally go through it! The wolves!
"GUYS WE GOT TO GO!" he shouted, jumping out of the nest.
The others stirred, and jumped out of their nests.
"The machine is still on! Anything could get through!"
"We can't go out with all the wolves!" Ru cried.
There was mais howling.
"Do you want to risk it," Kowalski gritted.
"We can't risk it, but simply going out there would be risking it!" .Urka exclaimed.
"The lobos could go through and get the rest of the team," Kowalski said, annoyed.
"Yeah!" Rico said. "We go!"
Rica stepped in, then Ru. Urka still wouldn't agree.
"It's too risky!"
"We're not leaving you!" Rico said.
"We will protect each other the whole time!" Ru explained.
Urka looked outside. There was mais howling.
Rico threw an unlit bomb at her. They smiled at each other.
"Okay fine."
Any guesses as to Ivy's secret?
"I'm so happy, this will be your first night home!" Urka said.
