Josh's POV

"Let me carry that!" I said, taking the bag from Tyler's hands. He thanked me and adjusted the crutches under his arms so that he was standing steady. "Is this everything?"

"Yes! Now let's get going. I told the place we'd be there by 1." I laughed and held the room's door open for him. I walked slowly down the hospital hallway so that he could keep up with me. He carefully got into the car and pulled up the directions on his phone.

"Y'know, I'm surprised you've been able to keep this a secret."

"I am too," he laughed. "I'm proud of myself." He had a huge grin on his face. The way his eyes lit up made my heart flutter just like the first time I saw him. He had a few scratches still visible on his face, but he looked just as beautiful as ever. If anything, they made him hotter. "Turn left onto this street," he said, pointing.

I followed his directions for about 20 minutes and we soon pulled into the parking lot of a shopping center. I looked at the possible stores we could be walking into: A post office, a music store, a pet shop, or a cosmetics store.

I heard him giggle in excitement as he opened his car door. I got out and jogged to his side of the car to help him out and onto his crutches. He bit his lip and bean walking towards the pet store.

"No way," I whispered. I caught up to him and looked at him. He was trying hard not to laugh or let anything slip. We got closer and closer to the pet store. "What did you get me?"

"Can't you wait for a few seconds," he laughed. I just walked in the door in awe. Tyler continued to the front desk and rang a bell. Soon, a woman walked up with a smile.

"Hey, Tyler! I'm sorry about what happened. Are you guys okay?" She looked between the two of us.

"Yea we are. Thanks, Jaime."

"Of course," she said, her cheerful smile reappearing. "So, I'm assuming you guys are here to pick her up?"

"Yes," Tyler said. She nodded and walked into a back room. I just stood there wondering what she was about to bring out to me. Tyler was staring at me and, even though I wasn't looking at him, I knew he was still smiling. When she reentered the room, I covered my mouth with my hand.

In Jaime's arms was the cutest little kitten I'd ever seen. She had grey fur and a tiny pink nose. She walked up to me and I let my hands fall to pet the small animal.

"She's blind in one eye, but she's the most loving kitten I've ever met," Jaime said. I looked and saw that she was right. The kitten had one sky blue eye and the other was milky and glossed over. She purred loudly as I pet her. The small sounds made my heart swell. I looked back at Tyler with the biggest smile on my face.

"She's mine?" I asked. He nodded and I turned back to look at Jaime. "Does she have a name?"

"Her name's Aurora. One of the employee's daughter named her. Sleeping Beauty is her favorite movie."

"Aurora," I said, looking down at her. "That's so pretty."

"Do you want to hold her?" Jaime asked. I nodded and she carefully placed Aurora in my arms. "Ill go get the final pieces of paper work for you and a care package for you guys."

"Alright. Thank you!" Tyler said. He walked closer to me and reached a hand out to pet her. "Do you like your gift?" I look up at him.

"Of course! I can't believe that you actually got me a cat!"

"I know that you've always wanted one." I blushed and looked back down at Aurora with nothing but love.

When we got to our apartment, I took Aurora from Tyler's arms and sat down on our couch. Tyler grabbed he remote and began searching for something to watch. Aurora pawed at my fingers adorably. She let out tiny sounds as she played.

"Look what's on!" I looked up and saw that Sleeping Beauty was playing on the Disney channel. "What a coincidence! It's almost over, but still!" He selected it and soon we saw prince Philip fighting the dragon. Aurora's little ears perked up at the sounds and turned to face the tv.

"Prince Philip is the hottest Disney prince," I remarked, stroking Aurora's fur as she purred.

"You think so?"

"Yea. He kind of looks like you," I said. Tyler looked at me and held back a laugh.

"You think I look like him?" he asked, pointing to the screen.

"Kind of! You're both brunettes."

"Oh, then we must be twins!"

"Shut up," I laughed. Aurora meow'd loudly and I looked down at her. "Don't worry, baby. Your daddies aren't really fighting."
