Lillian’s POV I anxiously looked over at Chase as we waited for the two minutes to pass. “What if not having a heat means I can’t have pups?” “Lillie, don’t think that way.” “But what if Chase?” “We will figure it out.” “No, I need to talk about this now. If I can’t give you pups... I…want you to have the family you want.” “You are the family I want.” “You say that now, but I know how much you want a family of your own. If I can’t give that to you…..eventually you will grow to resent me.” He picked me up and pulled me onto his lap. “You are all the family I will ever need. If you can’t give me pups, then we will adopt them. Just because they don’t have our blood wouldn’t make them any less ours.” “Yeah?” I asked, wiping a few tears from my face. “Yeah.” He said before
