"Oh, look babe it's adoption day for the animal shelter" Alex says happily as she picked up her pace walking over to the small pen that is set up to look at all the puppies and all the stacked-up crates that are holding a variety of kittens in them waiting to find a home. I couldn't help but smile as my big bad ass agent of a girlfriend melted into mush in front of me, that was one of the many parts I loved about her she could be tough but she could also be so gentle and kind as well. "Babe look how cute this little guy is." Alex looked over at me holding this tiny puppy who was just this little ball of fur who couldn't have been more than a month old. I walked over and smiled "Yeah he is kind of cute baby but he's a German Shepard he's going to get big" I said petting the little German Shepard who looked at me with his little cute face and that was when I caved in "Okay we can adopt him." Alex smiled happily kissing me causing me to smile into the kiss. She then looked down at the little pup in her hand "We're going to be your new mommies little guy and you are going to be so spoiled" I couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of me and all I could think was god I love this woman.
Then as quick as we could, Alex and I filled out the adoption papers for our new little furry family member. We picked out everything he was going to need from a crate, to a bed, to bowls and toys. This little guy was our first little furry baby and we were determined to get things right, well we almost had everything. We had everything but a name for him and that was going to be the biggest debate we would have next to the time we had got into an argument over how to load the dishwasher because neither of us wanted to do dishes after game night and that was two hours of us bickering like an old married couple. Which half the time results in me sleeping on the couch because Alex loves to punish me via banishing me from our bed. "We are not naming the puppy after that crazy bird Axel Rose" I picked him up covering his ears. Don't get me wrong I am a Guns N Roses fan but there is a line and besides that name Alex almost wanted to name him after some smart guy who's name I can't even say half the time. "Well we have to name him something we can't just call him puppy for the rest of his life" I sighed knowing she was right and that is when it hit me the perfect name for our little buddy "What if we name him Krypto?" Alex looked at me as if I had five heads. "You sure you want us to name him that I mean it's a little out of this world" Alex sits next to me with a smirk petting the puppy that is sound asleep on my lap. "Yeah why not I mean you have out of this world family members as it is and plus it's got some meaning when it comes to your sister because she was from Krypton so gives her a sense of being back there " Alex just smiled at me softly and now understanding the reason to name our new puppy the name we had choose to give him . "So, I guess there is one thing left to do" Alex cleared her throat "Welcome to the family Krypto Danvers-Sawyer" she smiled and looked up at me, I leaned in and kissed her softly resting my forehead against hers both of us having our eyes closed "I love you Alex Danvers." She smiled softly and laughed lightly "I love you Maggie Sawyer" and with that we looked down and the sleepy furry new edition that came into are lives our very own little super dog. Just a moment in our lives for us to remember.
Moments that we live for now.
