a/n i wish this was a lot more coherent but i'm tired of fighting with it.
caucasian ovcharka's are one of my top five favourite breeds.
& i'm obsessed with the idea of lena having a couple of massive dogs that totally freak out strangers but are total mushballs around the four and also the idea of the runt being a scaredy cat and kara constantly picking up this massive 200lb dog and cuddling it no problem.
"Lena?" Maggie says as she jogs up the stairs behind the slow moving form in front of her, glancing towards arms full of various takeaway bags, "Kara got to you, huh?"
Lena looks back over her shoulder as she graces Maggie with an unrestrained smile, "The barrage of pouting selfies and poetic whining about how nice a potsticker is at the end of a long day was to hard to resist," she responds while tilting the screen of her phone towards Maggie, showing off the most recent offender.
Maggie chuckles as she squeezes past Lena to unlock the door, charmed as always by the grateful smile Lena directs towards her.
Taking a moment before reaching to open it to drop a kiss on Lena's cheek, mouth opening slightly to scent her as Lena gently nuzzles back, enjoying this brief chance to reconnect after a hectic day.
Pulling back with a gentle smile directed towards Lena, enjoying the light blush in her cheeks, she moves to open the door only to be startled by a sudden thud from the other side, exchanging mildly concerned looks with Lena as she tries to push the door open unsuccessfully, eyes rolling at the amused snort from Lena.
"Kara, what are you doing? Get off the door you nerd."
"Only if you guys promise not to be mad!" The pleading pout obvious in Kara's voice, they can hear a muffled laugh following her words, "Oh, right! And you have to promise to hear us out before you react."
"Why would we be mad? Is that Alex? What did you guys do?"
Maggie looks to Lena and sees the slight scowl on her face mirroring her own confusion, adjusting the bags of food in her arms, "Kara, I'd suggest you open the door before Lena and I crash at her place and feast on all these potstickers."
"What? No!" The door flings open revealing a pouting look of alarm and a dark coloured puppy that crashes into Lena's legs.
Kara, quick to react, scoops up the puppy before it can push past Lena, "We can totally explain!" With the wriggling ball of fur cradled in her arms Kara backs up to allow Lena and Maggie into the apartment before closing the door behind them.
Just a few startled heartbeats later, Maggie bursts out laughing. Alex is sprawled on the floor, all twinkling eyes and happy smiles, with six fluffy puppies nuzzling at her face, chewing on her hair, and playfully pawing at each other across her body.
Lena blinks at Alex's form, fighting back a smirk as Alex tries to keep one of the puppies from shoving its nose into her mouth, and breathes out a laugh as she turns to take in the almost contrite look on Kara's face, her eyes, intently locked on the takeaway bags in Lena's arms, only matched in intensity by the massive beast of a dog looming just behind her; she half expected to see a matching wagging tail on Kara's form.
Setting the bags of food down on the island, she casts a curious glance at the what she assumes to be the broods' mother happily noting that, unlike Kara, the dog seems content to leave the bags alone. Approaching Kara, grinning at the wriggling puppy in her arms, lovingly nuzzling at Kara's cheek before reaching up to scratch at the happy dogs ears.
Looks over to take in the tangled forms of Alex and Maggie who are nuzzling and giggling at each other amidst the pile of puppies, admires the piles of dog toys, beds, leashes, massive bags of food, and bowls that are scattered throughout the room, "How did this happen exactly?"
"Zhehd tulem krep," Kara softly tells her. It takes a moment, her Kryptonian is still not nearly as good as Alex's, but when she figures it out her heart skips a beat, they need us, and in the end she can't fault either of them.
She takes a closer look at the puppy in Kara's arms and at the large dog happily panting next to her, they're all much to thin, their fur needs some obvious attention; it's all it takes for her to realise why this bunch caught Alex and Kara's attention.
With one last scratch to the fluffballs ears, Lena moves to join Alex and Maggie, the massive dog following closely behind, head dropping down into Lena's lap, as she sits down next to Alex, the puppy still trying to chew on her hair wandering over to instead paw at the fabric of Lena's skirt.
"You realise we can't keep them all, right?" absentmindedly petting the large dog's head, smiling at the puppy's antics she looks up at the silence into three pouting faces, "Oh, don't look at me like that. You two brought home eight dogs! We all work way to much to have so many crammed into any of our apartments."
There's a brief, charged silence as they all gaze at each other, no one quite brave enough to bring up the subject of getting a place together, despite the ever increasing frequency of complaints about which apartment they're going to stay at for the night.
Maggie swallows thickly and clears her throat, "Later.. We'll talk about that later but Lena's right, we really can't keep all of them."
Alex and Kara mumble their agreement before Kara speaks up, "We're technically only fostering them but they said that if we wanted to keep any we'd get the first chance at it once they get cleared for adoption."
"They're adorable, I'm surprised there wasn't a line of people waiting to take them."
Kara and Alex exchange a glance, "They're uh.. They're gonna be big. Mum over here is pretty underweight and they're expecting the puppies to all hit between 110 to 200 lbs.." Alex trails off with a shrug and a chagrined smile.
"Dude," Maggie looks back and forth between the puppy crawling on her and the big dog cuddled up to Lena, "holy shit, how are we going to feed all of them and Kara?"
