Chapter Two
When I was walking back to my car, I passed a sign which read 'puppies for sale' so I decided it wouldn't hurt to have a look. I knocked on the door and a middle aged woman came to the door.
"Hello, may I please look at your puppies?" I asked.
"Sure, come on in. My names Liz and these are the darlings themselves."
I looked at them closely and identified them as Labradors.
"Labradors are great with kids." She said quietly, she had noticed I was pregnant. "When are you due?"
"Two months, twins. They are a boy and a girl." I said proudly. I looked down at the lively puppies that were currently crowded round my feet. I picked one up and it sneezed. It was a rich chocolate brown and chubby. I saw that there were two black, one brown, three gold and one sat in the corner with its head held high which was a beautiful near-white colour. It padded gracefully towards me, it had a beautiful presence.
"Ah, this one's a girl. She is really gentle." The puppy sniffed the air around me before sticking her big tongue out and licking my hands. The chocolate puppy was asleep with its head pressed against my thigh, subconsciously kicking most of the puppies away from me. I giggled at it.
"Um, would it be okay if I could just call my husband about getting one?" I asked, putting the proud dog down and waking up the chubby boy. Liz nodded as I took out my phone. It rung twice.
"Hey, Snow" I heard from the other side.
"Barry can we get a puppy" I blurted out. "because, you know, it will be good for the kids to grow up with one" I quickly covered up.
I heard a sigh "What type?"
"Labrador"
"Cait, I don't know-"
"Please, please, please, please, pleaseeeeee" I pleaded.
"Okay, okay" he grumbled in annoyance.
"Yay! Thank you! Love you, bye" I ended the call.
I picked up the regal puppy and took her to Liz who was waiting with her pink lead collar, bed and some toys.
"I think you took quite the liking to her" I nodded.
"Me and my husband would like her please" Suddenly a thought came to my head. "wait there I said putting the puppy down and rushing to pick up the eager chocolate boy. "I want him as well, I think my husband will like him more than her." I said with a smile. Liz smiled and went to get the boys green collar, lead, bed and toys. She got back just as I had finished fitting mines pale pink collar and lead. Liz passed me the dog after I had paid her.
"Thank you." I said as I walked out the door, puppies padding along next to me. I now needed to head to the nearest pet shop to buy them food. I bought them food and water bowls, a mat each, dog biscuits, coats for the winter as it was autumn now, pink and green and dog food.
I came through the door with the boy walking goofily next to me while my little girl walked with strange grace.
"You got two" I looked to the stairs to see a Barry trying to look disappointed at me.
"Yeah. This one's yours" I picked up the boy and passed him to Barry while I pointed to the girl "and this ones mine"
"Heya big fella" Barry cooed at the dog while its tongue fell sideways out of his mouth. "So we have twins on the way, and now we have to deal with two new puppies! How old are they? Are they fully vaccinated? Are they good with kids? Who's gonna look after them while we are away?"
"10 weeks, yes, they are Labradors of course they are, Iris and Eddie I already talked to her. Calm down, Speedy, you are starting to sound like me."
"Yeah I guess I am. So lets get these guys set up. I am going to call him Flash, after me."
"Haha, mind that ego." He grinned at me. "Mines going to be called…" I looked at her hard. "Lilac or Desiree?" I questioned him.
"Lilac, I like the name Desiree for our little girl." He grinned "Oh by the way Cisco is coming over later."
"That's fine" I said, while I started to tidy up for Cisco to arrive.
