Yup, I made another one; I have writers block for my other story, so I decided to write for another fandom because I've got ideas flowing and maybe if I write them down then I can work on the other story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hawaii Five 0, because I am a girl who writes fanfics…
"I'm sorry, but did you just say you want a dog?"
Mary couldn't help but muffle a snort at the flabbergasted expression on her brother's face, if this was all it took to make her brother confused she would have done it a long time ago.
The two of them were currently seated on her front porch, her brother had just wrapped up a case and had called her up to ask if she wouldn't mind some company (she suspected it was because Catherine was unavailable).
"Yes Stephen, I understand you have some odd hatred of anything with four legs but some people actually adore them."
Mary quipped, bringing her glass of lemonade up to hide her smirk at her brother's look; Steve shook his head as he placed his beer bottle down.
"What brought this up Mary?"
Steve wondered, watching as his sister let out a deep sigh before placing her glass down; he frowned when he saw her fold her hands in her lap.
"It's just…just by spending time with your team, I've become more aware of how dangerous it can be,"
Mary started, her eyes looking up to meet her brother's understanding face; she curled her legs underneath and leaned back, her cheek resting on her hand.
"Plus, I'm living by myself; you and the team may visit me, and Catherine and Malia will provide company while you guys are working a case, but I want someone who I can curl up with and who will protect me if someone tries to break in."
Mary finished, picking up her glass to take a sip again; Steve nodded, leaning back with his beer bottle.
"Alright, so you want a dog?"
"Yeah, there's a local shelter that I want to visit."
"Alright then, let's go now; I'll call the team."
Mary quickly placed her glass down, blue eyes wide as she looked at her brother who was already on his cell.
"Wait, the whole team?"
"Yeah, why…?"
"…Nothing."
Mary replied, shaking her head as her brother began talking into his phone.
This can only go so well…
"Are you kidding me?"
"What, what's wrong with this one?"
"It's the size of a mouse Steven! You honestly expect that to protect Mary?"
Danny demanded as he gestured to the fluffy dog in the cage; Mary groaned, her head falling back.
"How long have they been arguing?"
Malia asked as she walked up with Kono close behind, gesturing to the boys who were now in each other's faces; she smiled when she saw her husband move to defuse the argument.
"Oh, only for the past…eighteen minutes, give or take a few."
"Come on sistah, you know they're just really protective of you right?"
Kono spoke, reassurance in her tone; Mary sighed, a small smile crossing her lips when she saw Danny crouch down to rub the belly of a Border Collie.
"He's got quite a way with dogs, doesn't he?"
Kono commented, smirking as Mary flushed; the blonde shot her a glare, her blue eyes scanning the shelter before landing on a cage.
"Hey there buddy…"
Mary whispered, slowly approaching the tricolor Australian Shepherd; she opened the cage and walked in, smiling as the dog quickly sat up and trotted over to her.
"Oh, you're so pretty aren't you? Yes you are."
Mary commented as she began petting the dog; she laughed as he rolled onto his back and she began rubbing it.
"I think you found your dog Mary."
Chin commented, smiling as Mary walked out with the dog trailing behind her; the group began laughing as the dog started barking at Steve, who jumped back.
"Looks like Mare picked a dog with good tastes."
"Shut up Danny, what are you going to name him?"
Mary paused, her hand stilling; she smiled as a thought came to her.
"Kekoa, meaning warrior."
The group smiled, thinking that was a perfect name for a dog; Danny smirked as Steve jumped back from the newly-named Kekoa.
"Kekoa really has good tastes."
"Shut up Danny."
So Mary has now adopted a dog; just a quick heads up, I'm currently working on a Grey's Anatomy one-shot series revolving around an AU idea of Meredith having grown up with Lexie and Molly with Lexie having decided to attend the UW School of Medicine in Seattle and living with Meredith when Meredith starts her internship.
Review, and tell me what you think please.
