The Next Generation of Royalty

"Hey mama! when are our cousins going to be born!" tiny hail bounced happily on the seats happily.

The PAW Patrol was heading over to Arendelle in the Air Patroller after hearing that Shadow was due for her pups soon that day. Silver and Snowy were excited, but not as excited as little Hail. Her tail was wagging so fast it was all a blur.

Elsa chuckled sweetly at the little puppy, "not for another couple hours. Sit down sweetie your going to hurt yourself"

"sowwy mama" Hail smiled sitting down

"We'll be there just under five minutes" Ryder smiled looking at the map

"Yippie!" Hail happily smiled bouncing up and down with excitment

"Hail.." Elsa raised an eyebrow

Hail quickly sat down with a nervous chuckle and smile, "sowwy..."

Anna paced back and forth between rooms getting towels and waters for the dog that was in labor. She's been pacing back and forth like this for hours.

"Water...water!! where's the water!!?" she panicked grabbing the watter bottle then quickly heading back into the room

As she entered the room, there was Shadow on the bed with a towel. *Gerda*; the queen's lady, and *Martha*; the royal maid were at Shadow's side helping with the delivery.

"oh your Majesty, we got this handled" Gerda said accepting the water bottle from her and proceeding to give Shadow some water

"no, no I'm fine with it. I wouldn't mind helping Shadow with the delivery" Anna grinned nodding

"okay your Majesty" Gerda grinned

"umm sorry to intrupt your little conversation but...a dog is in labor here and needs help thank you very much?" Shadow said with a tint of sarcasm and urgence in her voice as she was trying to not be in pain

"Oh! so so sorry!" Anna turned to Shadow's aid kneeling beside her

"no worries" Shadow chuckled kinda in pain

The Air Patroller landed softly in the backyard of the castle, near the gardens. The door came down letting everyone out. The little three happily ran out checking their surroundings as this was their first time in Arendelle.

"wow!" Snowy said in shock, "sooooo beautiful" her tail wagged happily

Elsa chuckled watching the three's reactions

"This is where you lived mama!?" Silver said in shock and joy looking up at the blonde, which she replied with a warm smile and a nod, "awesome!"

"We got to hurry. Shadow is due soon" Kasey said reminding everyone

Elsa led everyone towards the front castle door. Two guards stood at attention beside the gates standing still as statues. As they saw Elsa they saluted. Elsa nodded as a reply. As the group walked past, Silver, Snowy and Hail couldn't help to look up at the two guard men. Looking at them causiously. Scurrying passed as if they were going to jump at them.

"they are scary mama" Hail said accidently bumping into Elsa's legs

"Don't worry sweetie, they're just doing their job. They're not mean" Elsa said sweetly

"Ah! Elsa just in time!" Anna's voice was heard in the distance. Her right hand was full of towels

"Anna! hey sis" Elsa smiled side hugging her, "your hand is full huh?" she jokingly said

She nodded, "yep"

"Auntie Anna!" a happy yip came out of Hail's mouth, her tail wagging fast

"hello niece" Anna smiled welcoming to her

"Are our cousins here yet?" Hail happily grinned hopeful

"some are. We're waiting on the other three" Anna smiled nodding

"cool!" Hail bounced happily

"She's been asking and bouncing all day" Elsa chuckled to Anna looking at the hyper puppy

"at least some people and pups are" Anna chuckled. She then looked at the towels, "I better get theses to Gerda and Martha"

Elsa nodded letting Anna hurry down the hall. The group stayed in the living room of the castle waiting patiently...well, some. As another 15 minutes passed little Hail begun to run around the room in a unpatiently way

"how much more?" she asked whimpering

"Hail be patient" Kasey said

"okay" she sighed sitting down

"Yeah, it takes time for tiny babies to be born" Skye replied helping the puppy calm down, "let's play a game til then"

"Okay" Hail wagged her tail

"me tired" Silver yawned laying down on his back falling asleep

"Will we be able to play with our cousins right away?" Snowy asked

The teenaged PAW Patrol Leader chuckled kneeling down to her, "sadly no. They'll just be tiny balls of fluff"

"Uh?" Snowy tilted her head to the side confused

"their just babies. They won't have their eyes open yet" Ryder chuckled a bit

"oh! ... for how long?"

"For a few days, about three, then they'll be able to learn how to walk and talk, but you have to go easy on them" Ryder nodded standing up

"oh, okay" Snowy nodded smiling

"Wandering what Anna and Shadow Kasey are going to name them" Rocky said thinking

"We'll find out soon" Rubble smiled happily

Anna then came around the corner smiling happily motioning them to come, "You guys can come to the room now. they've been born"

Hail gasped happily and was the first one following her aunt down the hallway. They walked to the furthest room on the left to see Gerda and Martha finishing out cleaning the tiny things. Five of them. Yips and whimpers coming from their tiny muzzles and mouths. A variety of black, tan and white baby puppies bundled up close to Shadow.

"Wow..they are tiny" Hail said suprised walking closer

"Careful" Elsa said, "not too close" She directed Hail a few steps back from the puppies

"Sowwy" Hail said then looking back at the puppies, "Why are they making those sounds?"

"They're crying. Wanting attention" Shadow chuckled as Anna knelt beside her

"Congratulations to the both of you" Elsa smiled warmly at the two and at the puppies

"Thanks Elsa" Anna smiled

"What are their names?" Rocky asked looking at all five of the pups

"Well...it took a good while" Shadow chuckled, "but we both came to an agreement. Lavender, Moondrop, Mudslide, Bandit and Pebbles" Shadow smiled

"huh, Mudslide..a pretty unique name" Rubble chuckled softly

"They're names are awesome" Hail barked smiling

The five begun to yip and whimper due to the loudness of Hail's voice. Hail backed up scared a bit and nervously since she was the one that made them start cry.

"m-my bad! ... I...I didn't mean to make them cry" Hail said trying to apologize

"It's alright Hail. but you need to keep your voice low. they're babies. They're very sensitive to sound right now" Elsa knelt beside her youngest daughter looking at her

"Sowwy" Hail then whispered

"Shhh it's alright" Anna started to sooth and calm down the cry puppies

One by one, they started to calm down and stop whimpering and went back to sleep. Anna picked up one of the puppies - the one that was white with bits of tan and brown specks and black around it and placed it on her lap.

"Which one is that?" Snowy whispered looking at it watching it yawn with a squeak

"This one is named Pebbles" Anna smiled

"cool" Snowy smiled. "Hi little cousin. I'm Snowy" she whispered happily

A another squeaky yawn came out of her mouth and adjusted her head to a comfortable position as she fell asleep. "Better let her sleep" Anna whispered standing up with her still in her arms"

The group stayed over night to assist with anything that could be needed. Now that Shadow Kasey has her own family, she felt that her past has all been made up for and that she could let it all go and move forward - now that she has Anna and her own pups to take care of....But the black wolf hybrid dog wasn't aware of the wild ride that she's risking with the bunch of pups that she gave birth to.
