“But, Momma, look how cute he is!”
I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.
“Kid, it’s just a puppy.”
“A puppy I’m going to have to take care of.”
“Not true, he’s my puppy. I will be responsible for him. I promise.”
I shook my head again. “I’m not going to win this one, am I?”
“I think you already lost, Momma. The puppy is here.”
“You’re not winning me any points with your mother, Capri.”
She giggled. “Sorry, Daddy.”
For the rest of the afternoon, we played with Capri’s new Miniature Cockapoo. He was adorable, weighing only five pounds.
Later that night while Julian was putting Capri to bed, I listened at the door without them knowing.
“Daddy, I knew you’d come and get us. I just knew it.”
“And now I’m going to make sure you stay forever.”
What did he mean by that?
“That’s a good idea, just in case Momma gets mad at you again.”
“Baby, Momma is definitely going to get mad at me again.”
“Facts.”
I scoffed out a chuckle. She truly was too smart for her own good.
“Would you like me to make sure you guys are here forever, baby?”
“I would love that, Daddy. I think it’s a very good idea.”
“Good. You can cuddle your puppy for a little while longer, but he needs to sleep in his crate, okay?”
“Okay, I promise. I’ll be a good girl and put him in there before I fall asleep.”
Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.
I made a mental note to circle back before I went to bed, knowing she was going to sleep with that puppy if I didn’t. To say I wasn’t nervous to be sharing a bed with Julian would be a complete lie. I was so freaking anxious I couldn’t control the emotions.
Making my way back to our bedroom, I jumped in the shower to wash away the unease I was experiencing. After I was done, I slipped on my cream silk robe, and when I walked back into the room Julian was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for me.
“You’re nervous,” he stated, fully aware he was the reason.
“Maybe.”
He grabbed my hand, tugging me forward to stand in between his legs. “Why the anxiety, kid?”
I shrugged.
“Don’t give me that.”
