A Wolf for a Lion Cub

"Jaskier," Geralt looked him over, "are you sure?"

"I told you if it is what our cub wants, it's what she gets."

"You never said you were a dog person."

"I'm a whatever our child wants person."

"Jaskier."

"Ah, no no it's fine." Jaskier smiled.

The white haired man looked over his fiancé with a smile. "Alright then, get her in the car." Jaskier smirked and called for her.

The pre-teen appeared in the kitchen to his call. "Jump in the car Darling, we are going somewhere special."

"Where to?" She smiled bouncing on the back of her heels. "Father? Dad?" She hadn't decided what the right words were to call both her dads. If she said dad they'd both turn to answer. If she was talking to them both she tried to give them each a different one.

Jaskier smiled at her, "it's a surprise cub." She grinned at the nickname. She grabbed her jacket knowing if she didn't they would argue with her about not wearing one. She climbed in the sleek black jeep and waited.

"She's going to freak." Jaskier chuckled.

"I hope she enjoys the surprise."

"She's been talking about a dog since you took her to the stables that you volunteer at, she wanted a horse but knew we didn't and space for it, and she has Roach when you fake her along." Jaskier smiled, he too grabbed a jacket knowing very well that if he didn't Geralt would get fussy.

The man was very protective over his little family.

They climbed in the car, Ciri was trying not to ask a million times what they were doing. Where they were going. She stayed silent most of the drive until they took a turn, her eyes grew big seeing the animal shelter.

"Wait! Are we..are we really getting a pet!?"

"If you fine one you like." Jaskier turned to look her over with a smile. "Is that a good surprise princess?"

She giggled and nodded with a grin. "Thank you!" As the car parked she leaned forward giving them each a kiss on the cheeks. Geralt smirked and Jaskier blushed, she had been very accepting of their engagement.

He knew he could never replace the family she had before; and he wasn't trying to replace Geralt. He adored the girl, she loved him and she loved her.

They climbed out and stepped inside the shelter. The two men followed Ciri carefully as she looked inside each cage she would happily take home each one if they'd let her but she stopped dead at one special dog.

"That one."

It was a wolf mix, Jaskier's eyes grew wide reading over its information. "Seems like something she'd pick out."

"And she has," Geralt smiled. "What are you going to name her?"

"Cintra."

"I like that name." Jaskier smiled. The large white German Shepard wolf sat watching her with one blue eye and one brown.

"So can we have her?"

"Of course Ciri." Geralt smiled, he went to the lady at the front office and payed for the large dog. They left after getting her into the car. She sat patiently getting pets and pats from the excited girl.

"Thank you, really both of you."

"Of course darling, hopefully she will be a good companion for you." Jaskier smiled. "When we go on tour for my band or your father has a business trip, she can come along as long as you keep her well trained."

"I will dad I promise." She grinned kissing the dogs snout. She was happy to have her new friend. "Can we call aunt Yen? I want her to meet Cintra."

"Of course darling." Jaskier smiled. "She can come to dinner, is that alright Geralt?"

"Course," he smiled. "Your grandfather is going to loose his mind."

"Granpa Vesemir will love her." Ciri smiled and she hugged the large dog. She laid her head in Ciri's lap snoozing.

"If she sleeps all the time I won't even know she's there." Jaskier smiled. "As long as she doesn't eat my instruments she is fine by me."

Geralt smirked, they pulled up to the pet store and let Ciri go wild getting toys, treats, a new collar, leash, and tag. Geralt put his number on the back of the tag but let Ciri put her name as the owner. It was a sparkling blue tag in the shape of an arrow.

"Lovely Ciri." Jaskier smirked kissing her forehead.

She grinned and collected all the stuff and headed back to the car. She had her own friend, a companion, and a gift from her fathers.

She couldn't wait for her aunt and granddad meet the dog. Jaskier didn't mind the dog so much, as long as Ciri's smile stayed he was plenty fine with her.
