Madison quietly walked into the front door with a sleeping puppy in her arms. The pittbull was a Grey and white puppy named Diesel with blue eyes.

"Madi? That you?" Fox called as he heard the front door.

"Yeah" Madison called back. She took the hand that wasn't holding the puppy and wiped her teary eyes.

Fox made his way out to her and stopped when he saw her tears.

"What's wrong?"

"He's gone" Madison said simply Trying not to start sobbing again. "And he's never coming back".

"Oh, Madi," Fox sighed, crossing the room. He took the puppy from her arms and set him on the ground. Embracing her, he murmured into her hair, "It'll be okay. You'll be okay. He's in a better place, now."

Tears spilled from her eyes as she closed them. She firmly wrapped her arms around Fox hugging him as tight as she could.

Fox stroked her hair in silence. She needed to cry, to grieve. He couldn't say anything that would help her.

Madison continued to sob soaking Fox's shirt. "He was gone before I got there" Madison said.

"I'm so sorry, Madi," Fox whispered hoarsely.

Madison slowly pulled away From Fox's embrace. "It's not your fault" She said.

"But if I had let you go sooner you might have been able to say goodbye…" Fox trailed off, looking down.

" Fox it's not your fault" She reassured him. " You didn't know".

"I know," Fox sighed. "Why don't. We take this puppy on a walk?"

Madison smiled which is the first time she smiled in the last couple hours. " Okay" Madison said and nodded in agreement.

"What's its name?" Fox asked, releasing his wife to look at the puppy.

Madison smiled gently. "Damien" Madison said.

"Cute. Where should we walk to?" Fox asked.

"The park" she said. she then looked at her new puppy.

"All right. The park it is," Fox said as he grabbed Madison's hand gently.

Madison smiled gently and squeezed his hand. As she did that the puppy started barking as loud as he could.

Fox looked down at Damien and picked him up, hoping it would quiet him.

"Hey, you. We're going on a walk. You want to come?"

Damien stuck his tongue out and wagged his tail.

Madison smiled "your the cutest thing ever" Madison said.

"Why, thank you. I know I am," Fox said with a grin, knowing full and well that she had been talking about the dog.

Madison slowly turned her head towards Fox. "You have issues, " Madison said and shook her head playfully.
