Charlie didn't know how she got suckered into taking Lucy and Andrew to the park. For one, she hated going to the park. Two, it was disgusting outside. It wasn't raining, but it wasn't nice either. It was just misting, just enough to make them feel damp and uncomfortable. Lucy and Andrew however didn't let it bother them. They ran about the playground, hopping from different pieces of colored equipment. "Charlie! Charlie! Watch me!" Lucy called from her position on the jungle gym. Charlie looked up from her cell phone and saw Lucy start to do the monkey bars.

"Shit…" she muttered as she threw her phone in her pocket and then ran towards the jungle gym. Meanwhile, Lucy had started doing the monkey bars and was just about to slip when Charlie came to the rescue and caught her little sister.

"Lucy! You're not supposed to do the monkey bars unless someone is right next to you." Charlie scolded. "You could have gotten hurt."

"But I'm getting better at them." The six year old said in defense.

"Yeah, well next time, pick a day that they aren't so slippery." Charlie retorted as she put her little sister on her back for a piggyback ride. "Where's Andrew?"
"He was playing over there." Lucy said as she pointed to a little patch of bushes. Charlie walked over and pushed through the brush until she saw her brother. He was sitting on the grass, cross legged with a thin, light brown haired puppy on his lap.

"What did you do?" Charlie asked.

"I found her. She's cold and hungry. We have to take her home. Daddy and Papa will understand right?" Charlie was doubtful. She knew that her Dad would cave as soon as she saw the puppy's cute face but Papa, he was another story. He wasn't very fond of messes or animal hair that ended up on everyone's clothes and the furniture. Charlie looked the dog over once again. She was very dirty and was in desperate need of a bath. She couldn't, in good conscience, leave that poor defenseless puppy all alone.

"Fine, we can take her home. But both of you need to help me give her a bath and convince Daddy and Papa."

"Deal!" Lucy and Andrew replied in unison. They headed home right after that. When they got to the front door, Charlie tucked the puppy inside of her sweatshirt and headed inside.

"Hey kiddos!" Kurt called from the kitchen. "How was the park?"

"It was good Papa!" Lucy replied. "We found-" Andrew was quick to slap a hand of her mouth. Lucy was a bit of a blabbermouth.

"We're just gonna go take a shower. We're all wet from the mist." Andrew called. Then all three kids took off towards the bathroom. Charlie plopped the puppy in the tub and then turned on the hot water. The puppy looked frightened and desperately tried to get out of the tub.

"I have an idea." Lucy said. She left the bathroom and disappeared into her bedroom. A few minutes later, she returned with her bathing suit on. Before anyone could stop her, she hopped right into the bathtub with the puppy. Though impulsive, the puppy calmed down and settled into Lucy's arms as they bathed her.

Meanwhile, Blaine had just gotten home from a meeting at the theater. "Hey honey," Blaine said as he came into the living room and gave Kurt a kiss hello.

"Hi." Kurt replied sweetly. "How was your day?"

"It was great. And yours?"

"It was nice. Charlie took Andrew and Lucy to the park and Caleb went out with a friend so the house was quiet." Kurt replied.

"Surprisingly, this house is still quiet…" Blaine said.

"Yeah, the kids have been getting cleaned up for a while. Maybe I better make sure that they didn't drown." Kurt replied with a laugh.

"No you sit. I got it." Blaine replied. He headed down the hallway and knocked on the bathroom door before heading inside. When he did, he saw the kids completely wet and in the tub was the very wet puppy.

"Dad, we can explain." Charlie began.

"Yeah, I think I'd like to hear this one."

"So, we found this puppy at the park. She was starving and alone and we couldn't leave her, Dad. We just couldn't. So we were going to clean her up and convince you both…"

"Your Papa is not going to like this." Blaine replied.

"I know. Think about you though. You've always wanted a dog and how can you resist this face?" Charlie replied, trying to keep her father focused on how cute the puppy was. Blaine looked at the wet puppy in Lucy's arms. She was awfully cute. Charlie picked up the newly clean puppy from the tub and wrapped her in a towel. "Here Dad." she said. "Hold her." Before Blaine could even say no, Charlie thrust the puppy into her father's arms. Blaine held the puppy and looked at her and the puppy stared back with her big blue eyes. She eventually leaned her head in and nuzzled it close to Blaine's chest. God, he was hooked now.

"Get her dryer before you bring her into the living room. We do need to talk with Papa." Blaine told his kids.

"But you love her now too. Right Dad?"

"Just get her dry." Blaine replied with a smirk. It took a half an hour to get the puppy cleaned up. Lucy even donated a red hair ribbon that they tied around the puppy's neck in a bow.

"There, now she looks beautiful." Lucy replied.

"Should we do this? Ask Papa?" Charlie asked.

"It's now or never." Andrew told his sister. They three kids walked into the living room where Kurt and Blaine were both sitting.

"Papa, we have something we want to show you…" Charlie began. "And we want you to hear us out before you say anything."

"Uhh-Ohh. Those words are never good." The kids revealed the puppy and Kurt's face dropped. "No way. Don't even think about it."

"Papa! She doesn't have a home! She needs us." Andrew pleaded.

"No. Dogs are a lot of work." Kurt began.

"And we'll help! We'll take care of her." Charlie said in response. Kurt was hesitant. His kids were not always the best at sticking to their commitments. He didn't want to end up solely caring for this dog.

"Blaine what do you think?" Kurt asked. Blaine gave his husband a smirk and looked towards the puppy. "Oh I don't know why I asked you. You're such a softie." Kurt thought about it for a second and finally caved. "Fine, we can keep the puppy."

"Yes!" All the kids exclaimed.

"I guess this puppy needs a name." Blaine added.

"I think I have the perfect name." Lucy said. From that point on, Misty Anderson-Hummel became part of the family.
