The Major's Darling

Chapter 21:

I made each of them a plate and they started eating it. I go and sit down with Jasper and say, "We should get them a pet. Maybe a dog or a cat."

Jasper smiles and asks, "What breed do you have in mind?"

I say, "Well, I want a King Charles Spaniel and I was thinking for the kids a Siberian Husky."

Jasper says, "We can make that happen. We'll go looking for them."

I squeal and hug him. He chuckles and smiles at me. I say, "We should keep it a surprise."

A week later:

We got the puppies!!!!

The husky is a girl.

The King Charles Spaniel is also a girl. 

Jasper asks, "What are we gonna name her?"

I say, "How about Angel?"

Jasper says, "That's perfect. Let's go show the kids their puppy."

I hold my puppy and she falls asleep. I pet her as she sleeps and we go to the house where my kids are. I say, "Lis and Jay. We have a surprise for you."

I hear their feet come down the stairs and they squeal. I say, "Shh. The husky is yours to share and this King Charles Spaniel is Mommy's, She is asleep. What do you want to name her? Her name is Angel."

I point to the puppy in my arms. They talk about it and Jay says, "We decided on Luna."

I say, "That is so cute. Angel and Luna."

I carry her around and the kids walk Luna. Rose comes over and says, "They are so cute. I'm guessing the cocker spaniel is Angel and the husky is Luna."

I nod and say, "Do you want to hold her?"

Rose giggles and says, "That shouldn't be a question."

She picks her up from my arms and she continues to sleep. I see Luna calmed down and is sleeping on Jasper. I smile and take a picture of that and Rose holding Angel. I dial Kate's number and ask, "Hey, how is he?"

She says, "Well, Tanya and him spent a few days together before she bit him. He actually woke up yesterday and is discovering his strength. He keeps ripping trees out of the ground."

I laugh and say, "Put it on speaker so he doesn't accidently break your phone."

She does it and he says, "Peanut?"

I smile and say, "Hey dad. How do you like being a vampire?"

He says excitedly, "It's amazing."

I motion the kids over and they say, "Hi Grandpa!"

He says, "How are my mini peanuts?"

They laugh and say, "We are good. Mommy and Daddy got us a puppy!"

He says, "Really? What type is it?"

I say, "She's a Siberian Husky. I convinced Jasper to get me a King Charles Spaniel."

He says, "You always wanted one."

I say, "It would've kept me company when you and Mom weren't there."

He says, "I wish I did get you a puppy. I still can. It probably would've been a golden retriever husky mix. You liked the fluffball ones too."

I say, "Those are Pomeranians. If I get a Golden Retriever Husky mix I want a golden and white one. We might visit you soon. We'll leave Angel here and take Luna up. It's too cold up there for Angel."

He says, "Is Luna the husky?"

I say, "Yes. The kids came up with that name."

He says, "It's cute. I'll see you soon then."
