I sat in the living room with Spencer, tears in my eyes at the cuteness overload happening in front of us. So, after ten minutes of arguing about names at the shelter, we finally came to an agreement.

We have Salem, that's the black kitten. Then, we have Franz, or Franzy as I call her. She's named after the Austrian composer who combined classical and romantic music in the sixteen-seventeen hundreds, take a guess who named her.

Also they're both girls! Which, is the best! I'm not shaming boy animals, at all. But I definitely prefer girls over boys, I'm like that with kids too. What can I say? Girls rule, boys drool.

"I can't wait for Penelope to see them, I think she's gonna die. I wouldn't be surprised, she's probably gonna scream. Gosh, I'm surprised I haven't screamed already." I smiled, then slightly screamed. "Okay, there it is."

Spencer got up and sat next to me, then wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in. "You happy now?" He asked, and I happily smiled. "That's good, I know you've been wanting a couple pets." He smiled, and I smiled back then kissed his cheek.

"I have, I'm so excited! We're gonna watch them grow up, learn how to use puppy pads! Teach Salem how to use her litter box! We can also teach them how to dr-" I quickly cut myself off, realizing that I'm talking about pets and not a fucking child.

"Baby." Spencer said, then pulled away and faced towards me. "Is there something you wanna talk about?" He softly asked, and I looked down at the floor. I really don't want too, but I know I probably have too. I haven't talked about it since it happened, which is crazy because it's been about six years since.

"She would've been eight in seven days." I quietly said, and he nodded while sighing. It's hard for him to talk about it as well, I don't think he's opened up about it to anyone- besides me of course.

"Yeah, I realized that." He quietly said, and I nodded while licking my lips. "But, all we can do is celebrate, ya know? I mean, what have we been doing the past six years?" He asked, softly smiling at me.

"Throwing a party, well kinda. Having a celebration over the phone at night, lighting a candle, singing happy birthday, watching her favorite shows." I said, and he nodded then pulled me closer. "I don't know why this years so hard."

"Yeah, I understand. But, at least we get to do it together, and we have Salem and Franz to celebrate with us. We can buy them cakes too, pet friendly of course. Do all of the activities, plus the ones that we couldn't do alone. Decorate the apartment with her favorite things." He quietly said, softly rocking us back and forth. "We'll make this an amazing ninth birthday."

I softly smiled, then pulled away and looked up at him. "Even though she's not here anymore, you are an amazing dad. Our future kids are gonna be lucky to have you." I said, and he smiled while looking down. "Okay, get up."

"What now?" He smiled, then stood up while holding my hands. I just stayed quiet, then pulled him towards the kitchen. "If you're trying to make me cook something I have no hope, so please don't." He said, and I laughed as I opened the freezer.

Spencer can't cook to save his life, he's burned stuff I didn't even think was possible! He also gave us food poisoning before because he didn't cook a steak all the way. That was a bad three days, yeesh.

"No, we're having an ice cream party!" I happily said, and he raised his eyebrows while smiling. "I bought our little babies pet friendly ice cream as well when you wasn't looking." I smiled, and he chuckled while shaking his head.

He's kinda been on me about buying unnecessary stuff for our pets, but I can't help it! I wanna give them everything they desire and more! Like I love spoiling people, especially animals. They deserve goodies and treats as well, not just humans.

Animals have feelings, and are capable of loving someone and somethings. Why would I subject them from not being able to get the joys humans have, they deserve that too.

I set everything on the counter, and he snaked his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. "So I'm thinking we let them choose their toppings, and we can surprise each other by choosing what the other gets." I smiled, and he hummed and kissed my cheek.

"Sounds like fun, but you don't want dinner first?" He asked, and I hummed while leaning against the counter. Yeah he's right, we haven't had dinner yet. I don't even know what I'm in the mood for, all I want is ice cream.

"What're you thinking?" I asked as I turned around, and he huffed while holding my hips. "I chose breakfast because you couldn't decide! Now you have to chose dinner, that was our deal this morning!" I said, pointing a finger in his face.

One thing about Spencer, he can't decide for shit! It takes him so long to do it, and that's only when I have patience- which is rare. I once gave him all day to decide on something, and when I finally asked him he still didn't know.

He is one smart cookie, but he is so indecisive.

"I know! I know!" He groaned, and I puckered out my bottom lip. "What do you have in mind?" He asked, and I rolled my eyes then began to walk away. "Okay! Okay!" He said, grabbing my hips and pulling me back.

"If you're gonna take two hours to- ahh! Spencer!" I slightly screamed as he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. Why the hell did he do that?! When the hell was he able to do that?! "Put me down!"

"I don't want too." He said, then walked to the living room and slowly lowered me down. "What if we just have ice cream for dinner?" He asked, sitting on the couch while holding me securely on his lap.

I slightly groaned, not really down for it. Normally I would say yes, but I'm in the mood for some real food. Ice cream right after? Oh absolutely. But to eat in general? I don't know about that.

"You remember what we used to do when we were unable to figure out what to eat?" I asked, and he slightly shook his head while looking at me confused.

"Uh, kinda. It was so long ago so not really." He said, and I bit my lip while taking his tie off. He slowly smirked up at me, then trailed his hands to my thighs.

"Have sex."
