Prompt: "It's nothing, just a scratch."
~
You were beyond excited when Katie asked you if you'd like to meet Myle for the first time today. Ever since Katie had showed you the pictures of Beth and Viv's little puppy, you've been wanting to meet her. Katie adored how excited you were and couldn't stop smiling when she looked at your happy features, while she drove the both of you to Viv and Beth's house.
You give Beth and Viv a quick hug before rushing over to the little puppy, who was sitting on the arm of the couch looking at you with her head tilted to the side. Very intrigued about meeting a new person but also waiting because she's still a little shy.
Katie laughs at the way you just flew past her teammates, and greets them properly, before heading into the living room with them. You were already sitting on the couch with little Mylo slowly making her way over to you, sniffing her new surroundings to see if she liked you.
The trio watched how your face lit up when Mylo climbed onto your lap. Tears welled in your eyes the moment the pup tried to bump her little head to your hand, letting you know that she was ready for you to pet her. Katie made sure to snap a few pictures before handing Viv the present you got for Mylo. It was a little red scarf with white pom poms at the ends, representing snowballs. She had instantly reached for the scarf at the store, your girlfriend was a big fan of Christmas, and claimed "Mylo needs something festive this holiday season too." You had simply kissed her cheek at her adorableness and grabbed and added both the scarf and an actual toy to your basket.
Viv opened up the presents and put the scarf gently around Mylo's neck. She started strutting like she was on the catwalk, making all of you laugh. When she fell over the little pom poms, Katie picked her up, and asked you to take a picture with the little Christmas pup. After playing some more Mylo made her way onto your lap, where she fell asleep peacefully.
"Hey, so we actually had a question for the both of you." Beth says as she takes Viv her hand and sits down with you and Katie. "We were wondering if the two of you would like to be Mylo's godparents. What do you think?" Katie looked your way, her face lighting up when she saw how happy you looked by the question, as you were eagerly nodding your head. "I think that is a yes from both of us." Katie answered for the both of you. She places a quick kiss on your temple, "You're adorable." She whispers when moving back. "And with that, y/n, we wanted to ask you if you would want to take care of little Mylo when we are away for national team stuff. We could arrange it however it would work best for you, of course, you could stay here or we could train Mylo to be at your and Katie's place. I know you guys have Coopurr too, so if you say yes-" Viv wasn't even done with her sentence but you didn't need her to continue, you were ready to accept. "Yes, I would love that." You say, stroking the little pup in your lap over her head.
Since Mylo was still asleep on your lap, you decided to stay at the Meadema household while the rest of the girls made a quick trip to the grocery store, since you and Katie were going to stay over for dinner. It wasn't long after they left that Mylo woke up and made her way over to her bowl of food and started eating like her life depended on it. You chuckled and pulled the pup away from the bowl, not wanting her to choke on the food, "Easy girl, there will be more later."
You grabbed the toy you got her and started moving it around, to distract her from her food bowl for a bit. She started running after it, wagging her tail wildly. You loved the cuddly puppy so much already. She took the toy in her mouth and tried freeing it from your hands by roughly moving her head from side to side. Since she was still so little, her efforts didn't result in much, so she started using her paws to push your hand away while pulling back with your head. She got the toy from your hand, only because one of her nails scratched the back of your hand and you dropped the toy as a response. Mylo looked worried when you shook your hand, her big eyes watching you, "Oh no, it's okay, little one. It's just a scratch." You say while petting her.
When the girls get back, you and Viv start preparing dinner while Beth and Katie plop down on the couch, quickly followed by Mylo, who had already gotten tired again from playing. You enjoyed a lovely dinner together, before you had to go back home. You didn't want to say goodbye to Mylo but you knew you'd see the little puppy soon again, and couldn't wait to fulfill your godparent duties.
Back in the car Katie leans over and places a kiss on your lips, "You're going to be an amazing godparent to Mylo, and I can't wait to get a thousand pictures of the two of you cuddled up together when I am away with the team." You were looking forward to having another little cuddle buddy for when your girlfriend was away.
