Emma Watson Oneshots and Imagines Book Two

Adoption

(Calling it now, you all thought Emma and (Y/n) were adopting a child in this oneshot based on the title, well don't get your hopes up cause that's not happening in this one but I still like this one so I hope you enjoy!)

Michael had always wanted a cat. He never got to have a cat when he was a kid and instead made friends with all the neighbors outdoor cats, so when he moved out of his parents house and moved in with Sadie she had agreed to getting a cat with him.

Today was the day they were going to the shelter to adopt a cat, and Michael was very excited. As soon as the shelter had opened for the day, Michael was the first person to walk inside.

"We want to adopt a cat." Michael told the worker and gestured to him and Sadie, and the worker nodded and took them to where the cats were located. Sadie was just letting Michael go crazy, and he had already looked at a few cats that didn't really like him. "Those cats are a bit more shy, and this one over here has been here forever, poor guy." The worker told him, gesturing to a small orange cat. "He's so cute! How could he have never been adopted?" Michael asked, petting the cats head.

"He's been adopted and returned three times. He's only three years old." The worker said sadly, and Michael frowned. "We'll take him, and we don't plan on returning him! Right Sadie?" Michael announced, and Sadie nodded. The worker smiled at them and went to go get the papers, taking the couple and the cat in a separate room to bond.

Michael was playing with the cat, who the cat had instantly bonded with. It was like the cat knew he wouldn't ever be coming back to the shelter and had a safe home with Michael and Sadie.

Sadie loved the cat as well and played with him for a few minutes too. "And he's ginger! Now I have two gingers!" Michael smiled, and Sadie laughed. The worker came back with the paperwork, and Michael filled it out while Sadie went to go get the supplies for the cat. Once she came back, she signed the papers as well and they got to take the cat home, but not before they had to think of a name for him.

"Gingerbread! Because he's ginger, and he looks like a loaf of bread when he sits down a certain way." Michael announced, and Sadie agreed. They wrote down gingerbread as the cats name, and now they could finally take gingerbread home.

When they got home Michael let gingerbread out of the carrier, and he started to look around the apartment. Gingerbread settled himself in the very middle of Michael and Sadies shared bed, and he sprawled out and slept. Michael sat next to gingerbread and pet him for a few minutes with a smile on his face before Sadie took a picture and posted it to her Instagram story, the caption being 'Michael's new best friend.'

Eventually Gingerbread ate a bit of cat food, and Michael fed him some tuna fish before he was full of energy and ready to play. Michael spent a few minutes playing with gingerbread and passing him a small ball, the cat going nuts over it and making Michael laugh. Sadie had gotten another picture of the moment and sent it to Emma, who loved the photo.

Eventually gingerbread went over to Sadie and pressed himself on her side, signaling for her to pet him. Sadie scratched the cats belly, and he flopped to the floor saw sprawled out. Michael took a picture of both of them and posted it on his private Instagram account, which was also his only account and captioned it 'my two favorite gingers'

When they both were getting ready for bed, Gingerbread was sitting on the rug by the bed. Once Michael got under the covers and Sadie joined him, Gingerbread hopped up and sat right on Michael's stomach. "Well hello." He mumbled, stroking the cats fur, making gingerbread purr. Sadie rested her head on Michael's chest, also petting the cat lying on her boyfriends stomach.

Gingerbread swatted at Sadies head, not enough to hurt her at all but enough for her to move her head. "He's mine, I had him first." She told the cat while wrapping her arms around Michael, and the cat only meowed and lightly smacked her head again. "Well, sorry Sadie. Gingerbread has spoken." He chuckled, and Sadie rested her head on his shoulder instead, which was good enough for the cat. The two shared a kiss when gingerbread wasn't looking, and went back to watching the show that was playing on the Tv.

Eventually they all went to bed for the night, and gingerbread eventually got up and moved to sleep right in the middle of the two of them, separating them from cuddling with each other. After a few hours he had to move, since Sadie nearly crushed him in her sleep while trying to cuddle with Michael.

Gingerbread was definitely the perfect cat for Michael and Sadie, even if he interrupted their romantic moments.
