Chapter 24: Home Cooking

The room was silent. The dog released from Brian and Prue's grasps and slowly walked to Brian. Marcus had a mad look on his face so Brian and Prue were worried about his intentions to the dog. Marcus kneeled down and grabbed the dogs head, the gently held it against his. He closed his eyes and furrowed with his eyebrows furrowed. He looked sad now, but mad earlier.

" I thought I told you to stay in the bedroom," Marcus said in a sad tone.

The dog then whined in a sad tone. It made Brian and Prue want to cry because they liked dogs so much and hated seeing them in such pain. Marcus then stood up and lead the dog into a back bedroom that Brian nor Prue could see. They were extremely confused about why Marcus yelled like that, and what was going on in general. Brian and Prue looked at each other in confusion.

Bella is Marcus's dog. He had her since he was in middle school. She is pregnant now and Marcus is extremely protective of her. She is like his daughter, best friends, a companion. Marcus set up a room with a heater, blankets, and enough food and water for Bella. This would be the room where she gives birth to her puppies. When he was done laying her down, he kissed her goodbye and shut the door. Walking back down the stairs, he remembered that Brian and Prue. They had looks of pure confusion. A smile crept into the meer corner of Marcus's mouth. He was happy that he had another day to spend with Prue. Wait, this was going behind everything he lived for. Marcus knows that hem moves too much. To prevent getting hurt, he doesn't like to get close to anyone, but with her, he couldn't help it. To him, she was the angel who came from the heavens to take him away. Marcus walked down the stairs to them. He was wearing a white shirt and shirt, just like Brian. Marcus had dark brown hair which was thrown back to make him look like a model. Prue couldn't help but blush at the sight of him, he was the same way with her.

"Is that dog yours?" Brian asked as Marcus entered the room.

"Yeah. Her name is Bella. The only reason I yelled like that is that she is pregnant and I don't want her running around. Sorry if I scared you." Marcus said in a gentle tone.

"It's fine. She's really cute!" Brian exaggerated.

Indeed Bella was a very adorable dog, but he might have exaggerated a bit. Marcus smiled a bit more and walked to the kitchen. As mentioned before, his house is very modern so the kitchen looked like a star enterprise. Prue and Brian followed behind him. They were expected to leave now, but Marcus hasn't eaten yet.

"Have you two eaten yet?" Marcus asked as he entered the kitchen.

Prue and Brian shook their heads no and followed him. Walking to the fridge, Marcus pulled out a bunch of ingredients for some kind of food. Brian and Prue loved cooking so it hurt them to stay to the side. Marcus began mixing the ingredients. From the looks of it, he was making pancakes.

"Can we help? We love cooking." Brian informed.

Marcus was just like them. Since no one is ever around to help him, he is used to doing everything by himself. Marcus looked at Prue. Her face, just like Brians, was filled with sudden anticipation. He smiled and nodded.

"I'll make the pancakes. You two can make whatever you want." Marcus said smiling.

Briana dn Prue took two aprons and put them on. The three of them got ready, and began cooking.
