👩🏽Marisol, Horatio The Pup 🐶And The Rest Of The Team👨🏽👱🏼‍♀️👨🏻‍🦰👩🏿👨🏻

"So.... where's Horatio?!"  Eric asks Horatio Caine raises an eyebrow at him "with Marisol, you know how he gets! either he's in love or he's worried about her for he wouldn't leave her side, we're supposed to meet her on the Boardwalk for ice cream, you're both welcome to come along if you want to anyway I know the twins would like it if you did"  Zariah says with a smile "I'd love too!"  Eric replies with a smile and a chuckle Zariah turns to the man she called "Shades" and asks with a raised eyebrow "what about you Shades!?!"  Horatio Caine chuckles softly then says "I'd hate to intrude"  Zariah slides her arm through his as she says "you wouldn't be.... for one I offered and two we don't have our four legged protection so perhaps having two two legged protection would make up for it!"  Horatio laughs as he lets her lead him to where she and the twins were to meet Marisol with her arm latched onto his and her other hand holding Hamlet's hand Zariah starts to walk Eric takes ahold of Ophelia's hand and walks with them up to the Boardwalk the twins take a shower in one of the outdoor showers.... with their swimsuits still on.... then walk into the restroom to change Zariah takes Ophelia in to the ladies room Eric takes in Hamlet into the mens room and Horatio Caine waits out in front of the building for them after they finish getting dressed the head to the selected meeting place where Marisol waits with a smile Ophelia practically drags her brother over to her excitedly and they both give her a hug Horatio barks a low bark as though to make sure that he isn't forgotten Marisol and the twins laugh as the twins kneel down to hug their four legged friend soon they were all sitting at a small round table the twins sitting on either side of Marisol, Horatio Caine and Eric sit on either side of Zariah "Mari.... Trippy and I have been working on finding a way for you to adopt these two"  Zariah informs her Horatio Caine looks over at her confused as Marisol asks softly with a slightly surprised tone "oh!.... so they're leaving!?!"  Zariah replies "how else do you think I do it!?!.... though I suspect the move is only temporary.... the parents seem fond of this place.... H and Phelia as well as Horatio have grown quite close to you and Eric they consider you two "a part of the family".... a good part mind you! which is a rarity!.... I would do it myself but it would only make it easier for the parents to find them.... not to mention they'll be taking me with them.... as always!.... it's easier to do all this when they leave.... we tend to be forgotten at times!"  Zariah notices the confused expression on Horatio Caine's face but because she doesn't yet know him she doesn't explain EVERYTHING to him "Hamlet and Ophelia are my siblings.... but they are not safe not when I'm not around I have to keep them safe!"  she whispers "but they are not safe not when I'm not around I have to keep them safe!"  then changes the subject "I hope you don't mind me calling you "Shades" as I "explained" to Del earlier I already have two "H"s in my life having three.... would be too much!.... though I suppose calling you Ratio could work as well!"  Horatio Caine chuckles softly with a smile then says "no.... I don't mind at all"  he realizes that she doesn't trust him so he doesn't press her for more information so he could understand what everything she said meant Zariah turns her attention back to Marisol and says "I wouldn't do anything without your consent!.... you and Eric are the only ones I trust with them!.... well there is Leigh, Zandra, and Speedy but Leigh is rarely ever home, Zandra has a houseful already and Speedy.... love the guy to bits and no offense meant but I doubt he could handle the three of them!.... not to mention he doesn't know sign language.... though I have tried to teach him countless times!"  Marisol and Eric laugh "there's Trippy as well but he has already said no.... then again he's also got kids of his own as well!"  Zariah says Marisol wraps her arms around the two kids at her side and gives them a hug as she says with a smile "I would love too!"  the twins smile at her as Zariah turns to Eric who smiles and nods.... Horatio Caine and Eric Delko get called in on a case and leave the two ladies, the dog and the twins with a slight bow and a apology Horatio Caine shakes the ladies hands and gets a hug from the twins who grew to like the man rather quickly.... which didn't surprise Zariah at all.... the twins leave with Marisol and Horatio the pup as Zariah heads to the Miami Dade Police Department to talk to Tripp who was also at the Crime Scene that Horatio and Eric were sent to so she left a message at his desk telling him that Marisol agreed to adopt the twins then left for home to pack....
