Cherry and Atticus's Secret Life: chapter 47

Patch was walking with Oddball down the street.

"So, Uncle Patch, where are we going?" Oddball asked.

"There's someone I'd like you to meet." Patch replied with a smile.

"Ooh, who is it?" Oddball asked.

"Just a very special somebody." Patch replied with a blushing smile.

"Ooh." Oddball giggled.

Patch chuckled softly and nervously as he walked her over to the Brown's house.

"Can't wait to meet this special someone." Oddball smiled.

Patch smiled back.

Angel and Scamp were on the front porch together, they then looked over to see the two incoming dalmatians.

"Um, excuse me," Patch spoke up to the puppy couple. "Is Colette home?"

"She's inside." Scamp said.

"Thank you." Patch smiled as he came to the front steps.

Oddball saw that it was okay to go in, so she followed after her uncle.

"And who is this cutie?" Angel asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Patch chuckled. "Angel, Scamp, this is my niece, Oddball."

Oddball smiled.

"Oddball, this is Colette's brother Scamp and his girlfriend, Angel." Patch then introduced.

"Hello, Miss Angel and Mr. Scamp." Oddball greeted with a polite smile.

"It's nice to meet you." Scamp smiled.

Oddball smiled back, then continued to follow Patch.

"Colette?" Patch called as he came inside the house. "I have someone who wants to meet you!"

"Who is it, darling?" Colette came to the top of the staircase as she looked way down at him.

Patch stepped aside and showed his niece. "Colette, this is Oddball."

"Hello, Miss Colette." Oddball greeted.

Colette came down the stairs and smiled down to the young puppy. "It's nice to meet you, you're just too adorable."

Oddball smiled bashfully to that. "Thank you."

"Patch, why didn't you tell me you had such an adorable niece?" Colette asked.

"I wanted you to meet her for yourself." Patch chuckled.

"Well, I'm so glad I'm meeting her." Colette smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too, ma'am," Oddball smiled back, then showed her backside slightly. "Look! I'm growing spots too!"

"I see that." Colette said.

"I'm one of a kind, right, Uncle Patch?" Oddball asked.

"Yes, you certainly are." Patch smiled with a nod.

"Just like your uncle." Colette smiled at Oddball.

Oddball smiled proudly to that. "Thank you very much, I really wanna be just like him when I grow up."

"Well, in time, you will be." Colette smiled.

"I certainly hope so." Oddball smiled back.

Patch was glad of how well this meeting was going and it was better than he had even imagined.

"Now, dear, what did you mean your spots were coming in on your back? I mean you're a Dalmatian, of course you are covered with spots." Colette said.

"Um..." Oddball blinked, then looked up to her uncle. "Do you wanna tell her or should I?"

"I'll tell her." Patch said,.

Oddball smiled and nodded.

"Colette, you see, Oddball was born very special," Patch told his cocker spaniel girlfriend. "When she was first born, she didn't have any spots, she was plain and nearly looked like a white lab."

"Oh..." Colette now understood.

"Yeah, but then a couple of days ago, I got my spots." Oddball smiled.

"Oh, well, congratulations," Colette smiled back. "I've never heard of a Dalmatian without spots."

"Trust me, it was quite a surprise." Patch said.

"I gotcha..." Colette nodded then.

"Either way, she's my favorite niece." Patch nuzzled against Oddball.

"Uncle Patch~" Oddball giggled.

"Awww!" Colette smiled.

Oddball smiled back. "You're beautiful."

"Oh, well, thank you, my dear." Colette smiled bashfully and thankfully.

"She sure is." Patch smiled.

Colette smiled to them. "Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Atticus is gonna be busy with something for school anyway," Patch accepted. "I'm sure he won't mind if we stay for dinner tonight."

"Oh, may I please stay too?" Oddball asked.

"Of course." Patch and Colette smiled.

"Yay!" Oddball cheered.

Patch and Colette giggled as they accepted for her to join them.
