Adopting a pet together AU
She's definitely a dog's person, he's definitely a cat's person. So when they decide to get a pet, the real challenge begins.
By the time they've been to several animal shelter and back home without a new addition to it, they're frustrated and highly annoyed with each other.
That's a first.
They had fights before, of course. Which healthy relationship hasn't, but Caitlin and Harrison always thought they'd be mature enough to stand above this.
They were wrong.
Caitlin's pouting, crossing her arms and is not talking to him for at least three days. Harrison's just as stubborn.
And the discussion of having a pet is off the table.
Until one day, while Caitlin's grabbing her coat and is about to head out of the house, Harrison stops her suddenly, a curious expression upon his face.
"Where are you going?" he asks and she shrugs. "Out. To see Cisco," she just explains, grabs her purse and leaves the house. He waits just as long as it takes to hear the car leaving, grabs his coat and keys and leaves the house as well.
Little does the other know that Caitlin and Harrison both go separately to another animal shelter, choosing the pet they're pretty sure the other is going to end up loving - a five year old Golden Retriever called Brinkley and a three year old black cat called Tess.
