Love Will Remember

Champ's Day

(Aquantis' POV)
I woke up to a fluffy fur ball curled up beside me and quietly cooed at it. I pulled it closer to me if that was even physically possible. "Aww you're just so cute." I whispered, but apparently I was heard my none other than my husband-to-be. "Thanks, lovebug." He turned over and opened his eyes to see me cuddling the dog. "Oh...you weren't talking about me.." He ended up making that face people make to get others to feel guilty. "Aww, Aidan, you're cute too."

"Now, you're just saying that to make me feel better."

"No, I mean it. You both are now my cutie patooties." I ended with a smile, which caused Aidan to slowly start smiling. "No, you're my cutie patootie." I felt my cheeks heat up and quickly turned my attention to the little pup.

We both were petting the dog and I realized we never gave it a name. Also Aidan never told me if it was a boy or girl. "Hey Aidan, you never told me what gender the dog was."

"Oh, right, it's a boy. We also need to name him and get a collar."

"Hmm, what could be a good name for him?" I thought of some names while looking at the dog and trying to figure out which one suited him. "Hey we'll think of something later, lets go make some breakfast." Aidan said, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"I guess so, lets go my cuties." I said, while lifting up the pup and carrying him downstairs with Aidan following behind. I set the dog down and saw a dog's water and food bowl. I grabbed the water bowl and put some fresh water for the dog and put it back on the tray. "Aidan, did you buy food for he dog?"

"Yeah, it's in the pantry, I'll grab it for you."

"Thanks lover." I went over to fridge and decided what to make for breakfast. Aidan got the dog food bag open and poured some for the dog. While I was cooking our breakfast one name came to mind for the little fur ball. "Aidan, what if we name the dog Champ?"

"I think it sounds cool. If you like it, I like it."

"Haha, alright then, we can get his tag after breakfast." Aidan nodded and we both finished making our breakfast and ate.

After our eating I went upstairs and got ready to go to the pet store. Aidan went next door and went to get ready and once I was done I walked down with the collar and leash Aidan got for Champ. I called out for him and heard his small paws pattering on the floor. He stopped at my feet and I bent down to put on his collar, while I did that he licked my hand and I smiled and pet his head. The front door opened and Aidan walked in, "Hey, babe, you ready?"

"Yep," I picked up Champ and walked towards Aidan. "Lets go."

"Alright." Aidan closed and locked the door behind us and we walked over to his car. We all got in, with Champ sitting on my lap, and headed to the pet store. When we arrived we walked in and I had Champ on his leash. We went over to the machine to make the tag for the collar and picked out a tag in the shape of a bone with a border. It printed out and Aidan took it our from the dispenser and latched it onto his collar. Champ licked his hand and Aidan smiled. "Look, now you're officially apart of the family, Champ." Champ, like he understood what Aidan said, let out an excited bark making everyone smile over at us.

We came back home and once we were inside I took off Champ's leash and he ran off somewhere in the house. I hung the leash on one of the hooks and Aidan closed the door. We walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. Champ came running back to the living and hopped up on the couch with us. I giggled and set him in my lap, I leaned on Aidan's shoulder and he started petting Champ. "It's cute, it's like we already have our own little family." I said while giving Champ tummy rubs.

"Yeah." I noticed something a bit different in Aidan afterwards, but decided to not question him. We continued giving Champ our attention until he fell asleep. I set him beside me and went to grab my laptop. I came back and Aidan had the TV on. I sat back down and looked through some of the venues I had saved for the wedding. "Hey Aidan, what do you think about these places for the wedding?" He leaned over a bit to look and pointed at one of the venues.

"I like this one."

"I was thinking the same, so I guess it's this one." I got rid of the other ones and saved the one we picked to our wedding file. I opened it up and checked to see what we had so far. "Hey, we basically have everything ready for the wedding." 

"Well, now we just gotta pick the date."

"Why don't you pick it, Aidan?"

"If I pick then it'll be really soon." I widened my eyes at him and let out a short laugh.

"Well, not too soon maybe like two or three weeks."

"I want to have it in two weeks."

"Alright, we can start getting things ready tomorrow." I turned off my laptop and put it on the coffee table. I got comfortable and cuddled into Aidan's side. He wrapped his arms around me and I sighed contentedly. "Hey, Aquantis?" I furrowed my brows, he usually never says my full name unless he's serious. I looked up at him and he had a look I couldn't describe. "What is it, Aidan?"

"Well, when we were talking earlier about Champ and a little family...I was thinking...could we actually have one? You know like a family with actual kids."

"You want kids?"

"Yeah, I mean whenever you're ready though, but I want to have at least one or two."

"I'll think about it, it's just kind of early to be talking about it, but I'll keep it in mind." I smiled a little at him and he hugged me tighter.

"If I can have a kid with you, I'd be the happiest man on earth. I'll be the best dad I can be."

"You're adorable."

"I love you, Aquantis."
