Puppy Love
Alex's P.O.V
Hmm I don't know what to do Helena and Laura just seem to be in the dumps so to speak. I don't know why. "Hey Helena are you okay?" She turns to me with a weak smile . "Why do you ask?" I shake my head she may great at hiding things from everyone else but not me. "Helena come on I know something's bugging you so talk to me please." She let's out a sigh. "I just feel a little depressed sometimes. Yes I have you Laura and raptor and I love you all to the deepest part of my soul. But the problem is that with all the secrets we have is I might never be able to say that Laura our sweet little girl is my daughter to the world and she doesn't have any friends to play with and with running Doatec I can't be around all the time and her life shouldn't have to be hidden it's just not right." She breaks into tears and I run to her wrap my arms around her. "I know Helena there is so much I don't want her to miss." This is such nonsense if it weren't for the media and the feds we wouldn't have a problem. Wait a minute. "Helena listen we may not be able to go out as a family on Earth right now but we could go out into the galaxy and be a family out there." She lights up at the idea but then she shakes her head. "No Alex it wouldn't be the same. You would be getting all sorts of attention and You have enemy's that could use her to get to us and I don't want that." "Dam. Well she still needs at least one friend right?" "Yes that would help but I can't think of anyone we know that has child." "Well if she can't go out and make friends then I'm going to give her a friend." Helena looks that me like I'm mad. "Alex we can't just adopt a child without..." "Whoa Helena I wasn't thinking about a another kid." "So what were you thinking of? A robot?" I shake my head "No I was thinking a dog." "Alex that's a wonderful idea! But why a dog?" "It's gonna be great practice for when she get's a cyberorganic pet when she is old enough." Helena seems to feel a little better about things now. "Helena I know it's not much but for now it's a plan." She smiles and kisses me. "Perfect. So when are you going to get her a dog?" "Right now I'll take a van to avoid drawing attention. Can you keep our little Angel busy?" She nods and of course she has a plan. God how did I end up with a perfect woman like her I'll never know but on to more important matters.
Helena's P.O.V Five minutes after Alex Leaves
"Daddy Where are you?" I hear my little angel looking for Alex. "Laura sweetie your father had go pick something up." She looks at her feet and lets out a small sigh. I pick her up. "Don't worry sweetheart daddy will be back soon. Until then we have some mother daughter time." She lights up. "Can we go outside and play?" "Of course sweetie."
Alex P.O.V at the pet store an hour later
Hmm what to pick. Dam why do they all have to be this cute?" Just then I feel someone behind me. I turn to see a man about six foot two dark skin and a kind smile. "Hello sir is there anything I can help you with today?" "Yes thank you. I"m looking for a puppy for my daughter and I'm having a hard time picking one that she would like." He smiles from the way he looks he seems to be an animal lover. The type of person who enjoys helping animals in need. "Well how old is your daughter?" "She's six." Well her body is at six years but she hasn't been alive for more the five months but he doesn't need to know that. "Well is she a hyper kid or is she more of the quiet shy type." "She is pretty hyper." He looks at the dogs. "Hmm I would suggest a golden retriever then." "Could you show me?" He nods and asks me to follow him. As we walk down I do see a lot of hyper retrievers but then I pass a pen with one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. "What's with these two? They seem a little young to be here." He turns with a sad look on his face. "These two were the only survivors of a fire of the farm they were bread on." They look at me. "Well that is a first. they never pay attention to anyone looking at them but they seem happy to see you." "Well I am good with animals." They both look so cute. "Do they have names?" "Yes The golden one's name is Goldie and the lab is named spirit. Both are girls." I look at them it's so hard to pick just one. Wait a minute a maybe Laura isn't the only one who needs a dog. I know Helena's been missing hers so maybe it's time for her to get a new one.
Helena's P.O.V 2 hours later
Well Laura seems to be having fun which was the idea. Now where is Alex? We hear the door open. "Helena Laura I'm Back." Laura runs into her father. "Daddy where did you go?" I walk in to see him smiling. "Well sweetie I got you a present." Her eyes light up. "Really? What is it?" He laughs. "Well we have to go outside to see it. All three of us." As we head to the van Alex tells us to wait. "Well Laura mommy and I know you have been a little lonely so we got the idea of getting you a friend." Alex then pulls a small golden retriever puppy from the van and hands her to Laura. "This is goldie and she's all yours." Goldie starts licking Laura face. "Thank you daddy she's so cute. Hi there." Just then we hear a little whine from the van. "Alex what was that?" "Oh right." He heads the the van and comes back with a Black Labrador puppy. "This is spirit and she is for you." He hands her to me. She is so small and sweet. "Alex thank you." He heads back to the van to get things he bought for the puppies.
Raptor's P.O.V Thirty minutes later
Ahh nothing like a nice nap after a long day. Now where is everybody? Hmm why am I picking up to new scents? I should look into this. "Daddy thank you so much! Goldie is so cute." "Well I just hope we can all get used to the new pets." New pets that must mean there's an old pet around here... oh no. I must see what's going on. As I look down the stairs I see Alex's mate and offspring with two puppies. Am I being replaced? I slowly make my way down the stairs standing about 3 feet tall I sold make sure these flea bags don't kick me out of the pack.
Alex's P.O.V (What raptor says)
"Ah there you are Raptor come down here and meet the newest members of the family." He comes down the stairs looking pretty annoyed. (Are you sure these aren't my replacements?) "What? Don't be silly Raptor no one can replace you. Goldie and Spirit are for Laura and Helena." He looks at the floor. (Oh) I pet him, "Now why don't you go say hello."
An hour later Helena's P.O.V
"Alex is raptor going to be alright ?" "Hmm? Oh yeah he'll be fine with the puppies. Now Let's go see what Laura is up to." As we walked into Laura's room she had already set up Goldie's bed and toys. I wonder how tonight with go.
Well that's it for this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.
