CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

*WARNING - SMUT*

Tyler's POV

"Okay but how about him?"

"No"

"This one?"

"No"

"Her?"

"No"

I've just spent the past hour trying to find a puppy that both Elijah and Clara like. We broke it down to the ones I and Clara likes and now I'm trying to see which ones out of ours that Elijah likes. But so far it's a dead end.

"Hunter"

"Hey little man, Hunters mine" Bailey says, smiling widely. Elijah giggles. I swipe through a couple more but now luck. "Why don't we just go to the shelter and see how it goes? Up for a trip Eli?" Bailey asks and Elijah nods excitedly. "Sometimes I forget he's only eight months old" Bailey says shaking her head and walking off. She comes back shortly with key, I grab Elijah and put his shoes on as well as mine. We all jump into Bailey's car and drive to the shelter close to us.

Clara's at work today as for I, I'm working from home this week. I've been visiting Marco at the hospital all week, every morning. Unfortunately he had a seizure, the doctors say it's because of the blow and examined him. They got him on some medication while he is sleeping. They said they will be monitoring him as he won't be able to leave yet. It's heartbreaking to see him like that but he is looking better and better each day.

As we walk around I look at the many dogs, different sizes and shapes. They all look hyper and happy, it's a sight. Elijah walks in front of us looking at each one. After a while of looking he stops in front of the glass, it's a small dog. It's a German Shepherd. Looks to be a puppy. There are barely any puppies in here. I guess they get adopted fast. Elijah stares at him and the pup does the same back. They both move their heads side to side.

I look up to see his names, Rocky. "I like this one" Bailey says with a smirk, "Eli what'd you think?" Elijah looks up and smiles. I call the lady in and ask for him. Apparently he is only a couple months old and his mother was here. Unfortunately she died giving birth, they've kept him here since. His siblings got adopted but not him.

I can tell why, he seems reserved. Very quiet and scared in a way but I guess Elijah seems something in him. We sign off the paperwork and take Rocky with us. I drive straight to the pet store to get a few things. The entire ride Bailey was holding Rocky, sitting next to Elijah who as been stroking him.

Once we get the stuff we drive back home and set everything up. As Bailey places Rocky on the floor, he immediately runs to Elijah who is sat on the floor. Elijah bursts out laughing as Rocky plays with him. I can already see the bond forming and it's cute.

After a while, Rocky gets fed and so does Elijah. I and Bailey makes some lunch for the girls and we all head to the office. I put a leash on Rocky and put him in the back seat with Elijah. The journey to the office is relaxing and my stomach grumbles through out. I watch as Bailey grabs some gum and see a tattoo on her wrist. Bailey has many tattoos but this one is for some reason interests me. "Thunder? What does it mean?" I say while looking at the road.

Bailey laughs softly, "Your the second person to notice. Anna was the first. It's the title of this song I fell in love with. The lyrics, beat and everything. I love the band in general but that song as well as a few others hit me I guess."

"Imagine Dragons?"

"Yeah, how'd you guess?"

"I love that band too" I laugh softly.
