Trident Kings

Chapter 43

"Open your eyes Luv," Jason said in her ear causing Diana to jump in surprise since she thought he was beside her and not behind her. He chuckled and she felt him place his hands on her hips. "We are right here, John is on one side and Gabriel is on the other. You are safe," he whispered as he gently squeezed her hips. "Now open your eyes for your surprise."

She barely nodded and slowly opened her eyes. There in front of her was a full grown Rottweiler sitting in front of her with a black spiked collar. She gasped and brought her hand up to her mouth.

"He is your guard dog as well as your therapy dog," a woman said as she walked over to them. "He just needs a name and your signature then you are welcome to stay as long as you need to bond with him. He is a very sweet boy and has yet to find his right family for whatever reason. Maybe it's because he was waiting for you. Rotties are very picky as I'm sure you know."

"They are my favorite," Diana whispered as she slowly knelt down then held her hand out. The dog slowly stood and sniffed her hand then gently tapped her fingers letting her know that he was okay with her petting him. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he nuzzled into her.

The guys looked at each other and smiled, that was the first time in a very long time that they saw her pure happiness smile and not one that held some forcefulness in it. "This was a great idea," Gabriel whispered as he watched her run her fingers up and down the Rot.

"Yeah, it was," John nodded. "Doc was right, it will give all of us a sense of peace when we can't be with her for some reason and it will help her emotionally as well."

"Doc did say animals are great therapy for people with depression and anxiety," Jason said. "She can also baby him all she wants, I don't care."

"Oh god," Gabe chuckled, "She's going to get him clothes and all that shit isn't she?"

"If she does then we will just keep our mouths shut about it," John said. "Whatever she wants to help her heal then so be it."

"As long as we don't have a fucking zoo with crazy ass animals I don't care," Jason shrugged.

Gabriel chuckled, "You know as well as I do that if she does want crazy animals then we will have crazy animals. We are wrapped around that woman's finger and you know it."

"We are not having a goddamn zoo," Jason shook his head. "I absolutely refuse. Just think of all the food and cleaning that we will have to do."

"Look at our Queen," John said softly and Jason sighed as he watched her laughing as the rottweiler licked all over her face and his butt was wiggling as she hugged him. "Are you seriously going to tell her no if it brings her that much happiness?"

"Fucking hell I hate you both," Jason sighed in defeat as they chuckled.

"Come on," Gabriel said as he patted Jason's shoulder, "Knowing her she won't want a whole zoo, just a few horses and ton of cats and dogs or something and ask us to add onto the library and start adding to the crafts she has started doing."

"Let's hope for the books and craft supplies," Jason mumbled as she looked up at them with a glow about her they hadn't seen for a bit. "Hey Luv, happy with your surprise?"

"Yes," She smiled. "Thank you."

"You are very welcome Sweetheart," John smiled, "When you are ready we need to go to the pet store and get everything for him for the house. We also need to figure out what kind of dog house you will want for him when he wants to be outside so we got a lot of shopping to do if you feel up to it that is."

"Yeah we can also get stuff online if you want," Gabriel nodded. "You have that card we gave you so if find something you want just get it, okay?"

"Yes Sir," She nodded as she slowly got up off the ground.

"So you think you like us more now?" John asked and she smirked.

She giggled, "I can definitely tolerate you three a little more now."

"Oh just a little?" Gabriel asked shocked and she giggled.

"Yep," She nodded and they burst out laughing.
