"… and that's when my daughters decided to spill the beans," I was talking with one of the horses and she was just amazing.
"Sounds like your kids are a handful," she laughed.
I leaned against her stall door and said, "They are a handful and it sucks being the only guy in the house."
"Mister Cathedral," I heard behind me and I knew it was the Dean.
I winked at Laura and walked out of the stall and looked into the eyes of the blonde old man, "Yes sir?"
"I've been watching you all these years and there is something you can do I've only seen a handful of people do."
"And what would that be sir?"
"You can talk to animals," I was shocked that he knew that. I was thinking about all these lies I could tell him to say that he's wrong, "Now, don't feel the need to hide it Cathedral. I want to use that for this school's advantage. If I were to give you a full ride scholarship for our Animal Psychology and Animal Therapy, do you think you can work in those fields at this campus?"
I didn't want to say no, "I would love to sir."
"Good, good," he patted me on the shoulder, "Jolly good," he laughed, "Now, the new term for the bachelor's classes start next term. There is a special program we have for both of those degrees that I would like to enroll you in. You can work in the Animal Psych and Therapy department to help you gain some experience. On top of getting a full ride scholarship, we can even pay you for working for us."
"That would be an honor sir."
"That means you can catch up to your wife," he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and began walking toward the building, "She has her Doctorate's in Veterinarian Science, yes?"
"Yes sir," I smiled.
"Good then. Then you'll catch up to her in no time."
-Mittens-
I was in a glass cage with different cat toys surrounding me. I've been here for almost four years and I just hate it here. Stan found me and put me in here to study me. There were probes and needles always being injected into me and every now and again he and a couple other men would come in to rape me. Like today, today is the day that he would come into my cage and rape me.
I looked at the clock and waited for it to hit twelve o' clock on the dot. I stared at it until it read, twelve-thirty. That's when Stan came in with police officers behind him. I saw that there his hands were cuffed in front of him. A woman followed them in and Stan went to the row of high tech computers with an officer as the other officer and the woman approached the glass.
After a few seconds, the glass panel was slowly being lifted into the roof. When it was fully gone I looked at the woman who had dropped to her knees a few feet away from me, "Mittens Forrester?" I scooted back on my butt and pressed my back against the wall opposite of her, "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you Miss Forrester. My name is Liah Moore. I am a Detective," she pulled out a badge and slid it over to me. I picked it up as I kept my eyes on her.
I lifted it to my face and read 'Det. Liah Moore', "Miss Forrester," I looked back up at her, "May I call you Mittens," I just looked at her and slid her badge back over to her knees, "Mittens, I'm here to help and your sister Penny is here along with her Husband Bolt. Her and her husband Bolt have been looking for you," I gasped when she said that. I never thought that they would come looking for me. The detective looked back and dipped her chin at the officer behind her.
The officer opened the door and three little toddlers immediately came walking in. Their hair was white and they were all girls. One wore green, another wore red, and the third one wore blue. Bolt and Penny soon came in after them and looked to me. I leaned forward then looked to the detective. I pressed myself back up against the wall and she took that as a sign for her to leave. So she stood up and walked over to the door as Penny rushed over and pulled me into a hug.
We stood on our knees as she hugged me, "I'm so glad you're back Mittens," she cried, "We've missed you so much."
Bolt dropped to his knees next to us and wrapped his arms around Penny and I, "We thought we've lost you," Bolt said and kissed my forehead.
"I thought you guys forgot about me," I whimpered and leaned into their warm embrace.
"How could we?" Bolt pulled away and looked at me, "I love you Mittens and I would've taken out everyone to find you. I'm just sorry that I couldn't find you sooner."
Bolt scooped my into his strong arms and I hugged myself to be able to be comfortable. I didn't realize how big he was and how tiny I was until he held me, "This isn't over," I heard the voice of Stan. We looked and Stan was being pulled out of the room by the officers, "I will have you one day you freaks!"
Bolt turned around and had his back against Stan, "Don't worry about him," Bolt smiled, "You're safe now," Bolt nuzzled his nose against my cheek. I smiled and let out a small giggle.
"Okay," the detective walked back up to us, "I know some amazing psychiatrists for her," she pulled out a few cards from her pocket, "Give them a call and you should be fine," she smiled at me.
"Thank you," I said quietly.
"You are welcome," she dipped her chin before leaving the room.

We all finally made it home. Mittens has been resting a little bit for the last couple of days. She's gotten better I think; I mean, she's moving around a little and she's taken it upon herself to watch the kids for us as we worked. She said that it'd be a way for her to earn her keep around here.
Anyway, I came home like usual and pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex. What I don't get is that, Penny and I own this place now and we are still loving here. The apartment is all paid for and he money that we would use to pay for the apartment, we save. I wanna move to a house and get a bigger place for our kids.
I sighed and got out the truck and walked to the sidewalk in front of me and turned left. I walked and walked and turned right. I stopped when I heard the sound of growling.
I looked forward and in the dark I managed to make out a large dog, "Go Away!" she growled.
I slowly dropped to my knees, "Okay, why do you want me to leave?"
"Why does it matter to you?"
"Because I can probably help you."
"Wait, you can understand me?"
"Yes, I can. Which is why I would like to help you."
"It's my human. He kicked me to the street when I accidentally peed on his rug. It wasn't my fault. He didn't allow me to go outside to pee," the dog laid down.
"What kind of dog are you?"
"My mom's a mastiff and my dad is a Great Dane. So I don't really know what I am."
"How about this; you hop in my car and, you and I can go to a Petco down the street."
"I've already have been there. They're closed."
"It's okay, I'm part of the Janitor Association Council. The Head Councilman works there and I can ask him for a few things. Afterwards, you can come live with me. My children always wanted a dog."
"What's the catch?"
"You be a good dog and treat my kids right. You can stay as long as you want and go for as many walks as you want."
"Really?" she got excited and sat up.
"Really, really," she walked over to me and I petted her and stroked her head, "So what is your name?"
"Allie," she looked at me.
"That's a pretty name," I told her as I stood, "C'mon Allie. Let's go."
I walked back over to my car and opened the front passenger door. Her huge body pulled itself into the seat and she sat in the chair and I closed the door. When I go into the driver's seat she looked at me, "I've never sat in the front seat before."
"Well, I'm glad just to help," I started the car and we were off.
-Mittens-
I sat on the couch watching some cartoons with the girls. They were curled up on the couch trying not to fall asleep, "Where's daddy?" Caleb whined.
"I don't know," I looked at the clock on top of the t.v. It read twenty minutes after eleven, "He should've been here by now."
That's when the front door opened up a little and Bolt stuck his head in, "Hey ladies," he smiled nervously.
"Bolt?" I lifted my head, "You okay?"
"Yeah, I just have a surprise for the girls," he opened the door and a huge dog came in. The dog was attached to a small cart with dog food and toys.
"A puppy!" the triplets exclaimed and jumped off the couch to run up to her. Allie flinched as they began petting her body and stroking her fur.
"Take it easy girls, she's a little skittish," Bolt said as he unlatched the cart's bands from the dog's body.
"When did you get it?"
"Allie actually came to me. I was on my way up and she was in the grassy opening. Her former owner kicked her out. So I took her in," he explained.
"I hope Penny will be okay with this."
"Don't worry, she will."
"Who's Penny?" Allie asked.
"Penny is my wife," Bolt told her.
"She must be a lucky lady," she said with a sad tone.
"What's wrong?" Bolt knelt before her.
"The mate I had treated me just as a sex object," she growled, "We were supposed to be mates, but he didn't see it that way."
"You poor thing," Bolt stroked her head.
"Do you think we can talk more in private somewhere?" she asked him.
"Uh, sure. Just let me put my girls to bed and I'll be right with you."
-Bolt-
I managed to get my kids to bed and I helped Mittens into the bed in the guest bedroom. She was still very weak, but getting stronger.
I walked back out to the 'foyer' of the house where Allie was laying down, "Allie?" I called to her and she immediately lifted her head.
"C'mon," she got up and began pawing at the door, "Let's go for a walk."
"Okay, I know what I said but-!"
"I have to pee."
"Fine," I rolled my eyes and latched a leash to her new collar.
"What's the leash for? You don't trust me?" she looked at me with sad eyes.
"This isn't for you, this is for other people. There are rules that say that we animal owners have to keep our pets on a leash. I just don't want you to be taken is all."
"Oh, okay. Sorry," I opened the door and she walked out.
A few minutes later we made it to the park. The park lights were on aside from the one in the gazebo, "So, what did you wanna talk about?" I asked her.
"I just wanna thank you for all the you've done," I fell back. I looked at my legs and saw that she had been wrapping the leash around them to trip me, "And I won't take no for an answer."
She placed a law over my groin area and I yelped in surprise, "Please Allie! I can't do this!"
"I told you that I wouldn't take no for an answer Bolt!" she exclaimed, "You're the best human I have ever met, despite us knowing each other for only a short while. I will have you Bolt and I want you as mine."
