Summary: Skulduggery comes home to find Val and a kitten on his sofa.

Third person pov:
Skulduggery walked throught the door of his house, gun out. It was unlocked which meant one of two things. One: Valkyrie had stopped by (that damn girl never locks the door) or two: there was an intruder.

His question was quickly answered when he walked into the living room to find his partner on the sofa, watching Benidorm. She didn't even look up before saying, "Put the gun away. I can't believe everyone's ok with Chantel and Geof being together and having a baby! It's disgusting!"
"Well hello to you to." Just then there was a weird noise. Like a meow. "What was that?" He asked.
"Nothing." Valkyrie said too quickly. She put her arm behind her as of trying to shield something.
"Valkyrie..."
"Skulduggery..."

He ran around the sofa and she grabbed whatever was there and got up, running into the kitchen. Skulduggery cornered her and saw something small and fluffy in her arms. "What is that?" He exclaimed.
"A kitten." Val said in a small voice.
"Why is it here?"
"It's only little and it's mother was nowhere to be found and it's ill and its adorable."
"Take it to your house then!"
"I can't! Mum and Dad wouldn't let me keep it. Please can it stay here!" She literally fot on her knees and begged.
"Fine! But get up!"
"Thank you!" She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. He stumbled for a minute before getting his balance.
"You have got to stop bringing stray animals into my house."
"We both know that's not going to happen."
